SEVEN McHENRY STUDENTS AMONG DEKALB GRADUATES Several McHenry area students were among the 952 seniors and graduate students receiving degrees at Northern Illinois university's sixty-fourth annual commencement last Saturday. Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz was speaker. Local graduates included Steward B. Smith, B.A. degree; John H. Moss, Jr., B.S.; Anita Jean Beckenbaugh, Charlene J. Freund and Marilyn Schmidt Truckenbrod, B.S.E.; Ferdinand Paul Borchardt, M.S.; and Earl Martin Johnsen, M.S.E. THE TAXING POWER The power to tax is the power to destroy. As you all know, this was said many years ago and this is just as true today. Karl Marx wrote that by high taxation the free nations would destroy themselves and that is just what is taking place in the U.S.A. today. Our national debt has recently been raised to a 307 billion dollars limit and the trend is to go higher. Few people realize what a tremendous amount that is. Here is an example. If you were to spend $1,000 per day, it would take about 840.000 years to spend 307 billion dollars. If $1,00 per day is too much for you to spend, take $100 per day and it would take 8 million years to spend it. The human mind cannot comprehend the enormity of so large an amount, but that is the debt at present that we are burdening our children, grandchildren, etc., to pay for the cockeyed foolishness of this generation. "Well, there are some states (seven so far) that are doing something about it, and that is through the "Liberty amendment" pending in our state Congress as H. J. Res. 23, or the 23rd Amendment. Among other things it states that the government should get rid of all business enterprises (of which it has many) and the repeal of the income tax law that concerns personal income, estates, and/or gift taxes, also repeal the 16th amendment. The 16th refers to the income tax amendment which I remember very well, adopted in 1913, started out if I remember right at 2 per cent or 3 per cent. The public was led to believe that it would not go above 5 per cent. "You who are growing up today know how high it has gone. When thirty-four States have passed this amendment. Congress shall call a national convention, consisting of citizens outside of Congress, to take action on it. Eternal vigilance is the pride of liberty. Don't leave it up for others to do. Get further information if necessary. Write your congressman your views on these subjects. It may be later than you think. "D. W. OVERTON, Richmond, 111" Sixty Explorers Will Attend Camp Blackhawk Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, is sending sixty Explorers and Seven leaders on a high adventure camping experience to the Philmont Scout ranch in New Mexico.

All of the money -- $600 to be spent on the 4,000-milo. eighteen-day round trip was earned by the girls themselves. The travellers were given special distinction just before starting their trip when they received letters to be given mayors of several large cities along the way, written bv Idaho's governor as a special welcome to attend the state's 100th year anniversary.
