This week one of the national magazines published an article which stated, "No tax reductions in the near future." It then went on to say that the American taxpayers were cheating the government out of about $5 billion per year. The theory behind this was that the government must tighten up and collect this $5. billion so that it will be possible to grant all of the taxpayers about a 13 reduction in their taxes. This appears to be another scheme of those in power (both Democrat and Republican) to get more money from the people in order to put more people on the public payroll. Then our government officials , can give away and waste money. more of the people's The political parties, the bureaucrats and other selfish minority groups make much out of the fact that the poor taxpayers do a little cheating on their income tax returns, while these groups themselves, have been doing a lot of big cheating of the American people.

President of Amalgamated Jencks, District Union, Local 890, Bayard International Union of Mine 'Mill and Smelter Workers, in the State of New Mexico, filed an affidavit (as required by the labor law), swearing that he was not a member of the communist party. Taft-Hartl- ey FBI Using FBI evidence to prove that Jencks was a member of the communist party when he filed that affidavit, the Department of Justice prosecuted Jencks for perjury saying that he lied when swearing that he was not a communist. Convicted When laws are passed that favor some at the expense of the rest of us, it may become legally right; but it is still cheating cheating in Foreign Aid, cheating by labor leaders, cheating by cheating by big business, cheating by civic groups, cheating under the farm program, cheating in what is termed federal housing, and cheating by many other groups who think only of themselves. The federal district court in New Mexico convicted Jencks, and the Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the conviction. At this trial, Jencks was given full opportunity to face all of his accusers in open court No 'information supplied by unnamed informants was used against him. He was permitted to examine every piece of evidence used to prove that he had lied under oath. The real cheating is not the little taxpayer who is trying to keep something that he feels he is rightfully entitled to because he honestly earned it. The real dishonesty is found in organized pressure groups who have forced through laws that make it possible to legally claim something which they have not honestly earned. Reversed so-calle- d co-op- s, Nonetheless, the United States Supreme Court, on June 3, 1957, reversed the lower courts on the ground that Jencks should have been permitted to see all confidential FBI reports on communist meetings which Jencks was accused of attending. The Supreme Court, ordered a new trial for We suggest that Congress amend the income tax Jencks. But in order to try Jencks law so that the taxpayer will not be forced to cheat again,, in compliance with the Suin order to live.

It seems to this newspaper that this solution is Hence, the Department of Justice decided not to try Jencks much better than the plan of the Government to hire again. more snoopers to rob more taxpayers and to get more This man, once convicted of perfor denying that he was a money so the selfish groups can get more and more jury communist, went free.
