morrow. But eggE must stay high, so the government must kcep buying. And storage spaces must bc enlarged. And every American through both open and hidden taxes, pays his share of these billions of eggs that will never be used for human consumption. Like it?
A reporter for the Wall Strect Journal recently visited the headquarters of thc Department of Agriculture in Washington, one of the most gigantic of all bureaus. On one floor he visited the department where an army of people is engaged in only one activity, spending billions of tax money for the purpose of keeping the price of agricultural products high. Next door to this department the reporter found another operation where several hundred civil employees are kept continually busy spending three hundred millions of dollars a year for the purpose of INCREASING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION. This department pays as much as $2500 a year to farmers for improving their soil to raise bigger crops. And in still another department he found a small army whose job it is to spend over one hundred millions of dollars a year on agricultural research. So here were several groups of men, some spending billions to keep up the price of food to the American consumer by taking food off the market, and others seeking to increase the production of food so that there will be more for the government to buy with the taxpayers' money; more to take out of circulation to keep the prices high.
As the editor of the Los Angeles Times puts it-"It's the basic idea that's haywire. The basic idea is that men in Washington can regulate the agricultural economy of the nation. They can't, and that's all there is to it. Especially when they are working at cross-purposes." But what a price the American taxpayer is paying to finance these lunatic experiments !

And that term "taxpayer" takes in every human being in this country who spends as much as a nickel for anything.It means the poorest as well as the richest. For all things are taxed, and the so-called "hidden taxes" are very substantial. The American Taxpayers' Association, of Washington, D.C., which devotes its energies exclusively to the study of taxes, says that there are 78 different taxes on a quart of milk, 151 different taxes on a loaf of bread,
100 on m egg, 125 on a cotton dress, 116 on a man'c suit of clothes, 154 on a cake of soap, and 201 on a gallon of gasoline'
So, no matter whoever you are, wherever you may be, or how small may be your income, you are intereeted in the matters mentioned in this Etory; you, too, are one of those who pay the bill for the potato mess, the egg meEs' the butter mess, the grain me88, and all the other mesoes originating in Washington today.
Perhaps, come to tr,i"i "l it] J,rnior, we tax-burdened folks should be grateful to the licker and tobacco users of the nation for doing so much to pay for the money the government urastes on potatoes, and eggs, and various other things. For the figures show that in 1949 the licker taxes amounted to $2,204,300,000, and the tobacco taxes were $1,319,976,501. The total employment taxes amounted to $2,459,700,000, so you can see how much the smokers and drinkers have contributed to the government's support. Both the licker and tobacco taxes increased last year over the previous year.
The late Dr. Spengler, in,lo*, philosopher, and writer, may have been correct when he advised all men who want to get ahead in this country today, who want to rise above the level of mediocrity, to attach themselves to the government. He said it did not matter what line of effort you choose, government service offers the greatest opportunity. While admitting thatDr. Spengler undoubtedly "had something" when he offered that advice, I still think that the route to economic prosperity is the rural route; we should all become farmers, with prosperity of an abiding character guaranteed by the government and by the citizenship in general. Yes, Junior, I think we'd better get ourselves fitted with overalls-and Cadillacs.
