Show STARTING THE NEW VEAR RIGHT. There could be no better way for us to start the new year than to determine de-termine to do what we can, as individuals, indi-viduals, to advance American progress pro-gress and maintain the American principle of government. Plain ordinary laziness on the part of citizens has produced sad fruits in recent years. It has caused high taxes, has been at least partly responsible respon-sible for the business depression and lias allowed the encroachment of government gov-ernment on private affairs to become a genuine menace. Nineteen-thirty-one may prove to be a crucial year for the United States. There is, at present, an undeniable un-deniable trend toward socialism; toward to-ward dictatorship of the office-holder. Unless checked, it will eventually get beyond all control. And it will be the citizens of the nation who suffer. It might be said that the best way for us to go forward is to turn backward, back-ward, in one particular, and again affirm af-firm the principles of the founders of the nation. They created this nation to escape from the tyrannies of kings. Are we going to allow it to be destroyed des-troyed by the tyrannies of politicians? |
