MANY VIE FOR CITY OFFICES
On Tuesday next, voters will go to
the polls in our Municipal election to
cast ballots for several new city officers:
one Mayor, three members to the City
Council, one City Clerk, one City Treas
urer, one City Attorney and one member
to the school board.
We notice several entries for mayor,
and also eight filed for the council, with
only one other office contested—the
member to the school board, with two
candidates
Voters will have to use considerable
judgment in choice of officers in order to
make a group that will work well to
gether, as there is a big job ahead, to
continue the work the present council
and city officers have begun.
Many new projects and changes will
be made in the future of our city in prep
aration for the big things to come, such
as must be the need for this air terminus,1
which is at present being born.
Go to the polls Tuesday, and back up
the candidates of your choice.
THE PUBLIC DEBT
(From the Seattle Journal of Commerce)
In a booklet recently written by Don
Herold, Hoosier humorist, on the confus
ing subject of today’s debt, he drew a
picture of a funny little man saying:
“We owe it to ourselves—so we don’t
owe it to anybody.” The man was talk
ing about the federal debt of almost S200
billion. Across the page the same little
fellow is saying to himself:
“If we don’t owe it to anybody, it’s
funny we have to pay interest on it.”
The idea that nothing need be done
about our debt, because we owe it to our
selves. is becoming alarmingly prevalent.
There is no more dangerous form of fis
cal lotus-eating than this
In The Tax Review, Harley L. Lutz
shows the inconsistencv in the argument
that a large public debt has certain ad
vantages because we pay the interest to
ourselves. The burden on the taxpayers
is not offset by the fact that the bond
holders receive the money paid out in in
terest.
All tax receipts are paid out to some
body. If it be true that taxes levied to
oav interest are burdenless, then it
should follow that all taxes are burden
less because all the tax monev comes
”irTht back again. The taxpavers know
better even if the government’s academic
’"b°rs do not.
