PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, I97« EDITORIALS r < v ;• Dodging Taxes There are more and more reports that Americans are avoiding full payment of federal income taxes. There is growing resistance »'jto the concept of voluntary, full payment of income taxes. More and more Americans, it's reported, are becoming [ disgusted with runaway big government, are hard-pinched economically, are disillusioned with politicians and the •> government, or are simply greedy. . Whatever the cause of the trend, it could be a serious turn of events. The strength of the U.S. economy ever since the income tax constitutional amendment was passed sixty years ago has been in acceptance by the • average American of the principle of , compliance. This attitude doesn't prevail in many areas of the world; only in the democracies of northern Europe and the United States and " Canada, and in a few other countries, has voluntary payment been > a successful system. " Treasury officials admit they must rely primarily on the ; traditional American concept of compliance. The question boils 'i down to what might be called a national conscience. That conscience is affected by the actions and expenditures of the federal government, Congress primarily. And the congressional record of late has not been a good example to the nation. '76 Commemoratives Of the consumer products in this Bicentennial celebration year there are a rash of special books, reproductions, coins, plates, etc., offered to the public in advertisements called "important public notices." There is future profit to be made from some of the coins and .other centennial production but much of this output is junk, and . relatively worthless junk at that. "' Some offerings of the official councils and groups are significant ' an worthwhile. If the purpose of the buyer is to have something historical and commemorative, these products serve a good purpose. Some may appreciate in value. '*•' But a large quantity of junk is also being peddled, wrapped in high-sounding sales language--of little historical value and with no (chance of appreciation. V A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. Weekly Market Review Well, let's see now - "dog days" - just what does that expression ' mean? In our opinion, it conjures up very apt descriptions of the ^"current stock market: Trading volume is very light, investor and ' trader interest is slumbering, and price action both up and down is ' dull. These particular "dog days", however, seem to carry an itch with them which is much more severe than any we have seen. The "itch is caused by a growing frustration among market participants 'and it results from the fact that the market acts in an entirely different fashion than history would indicate -*we have all the ' ingredients needed for a party in the stock market but nobody is *' showing up to celebrate. ' We believe the fundamentals justify a higher Dow Jones r Industrial average which now sells at approximately 10 times this year's estimated earnings and 9 times 1977's projection. Of greater -' importance, many secondary companies sell at even lower 1 multiples - evaluation unheard of since the 1950's- and seem to " • offer very attractive risk-reward ratios. The economy is strong "and gaining ground at a moderate but sustainable rate, ' inflationary pressures havte been lowered substantially, and most '" corporations are prospering but executive enthusiasm is being i kept at a low key. The tone of the credit market is much improved '"and foreign investors can find much greater political stability and '"less inflation in our country than their own. The current lack of interest in stocks just doesn't make sense and that is extremely ^frustrating. 11 A Bear would say that the market is telling us that something is I; very wrong with the favorable fundamental projections but we believe that stocks are too cheap, investors too nervous, and the • [ business cycle too young to justify that explanation. In our opinion, '•the disease is more subtle. The memory of the 1968 to 1974 Bear market lingers on and has left most investors lacking in .. confidence, very nervous, and extremely skeptical. This r; negativism which seems to dominate the market's personality is •„ what is keeping investors from responding to the fundamental ,r forces, which have classically supported a rising stock market. Short term, one must look for more of the same neutralized market. Intermediate term or sooner, institutional dollars will not ignore value and an up market will assuage a great many of the markets imagined fears. Goodwill Center Vandalism Changes Service Many people ask why • Abilities Center Goodwill In­ dustries uses private collection • ,j points or centers instead of u deposit boxes on public shop­ ping centers, Agnes Adams, N, McHenry representative has * reported. v Several years ago the local Goodwill used collection boxes •r .and found that the public -u abused them by not depositing .-materials inside, by giving • unbreakable material or junk .such as tin cans, papers, kit- t,," chen garbage and other useless •„,< materials, the boxes were damaged by vandals, and the materials were scattered on the premises making it an eyesore. J This discouraged many '^conscientious givers who wanted to help the program of ' rehabilitation and also brought ' legitimate complaints from shopping center areas. £•; Through trial and error, it ^was found that private f * For Your Information collection points were not abused and very little junk was collected, which amounted to a tremendous saving for Goodwill. G o o d w i l l e m p l o y s mebound handicapped le who take calls for home pickup service and provide collection points for the benefit of the handicapped. In general, this has proved satisfactory and has aided many homebound people in attaining a sense of accomplishment as well as providing much needed cash. In many cases, these homebound people have found additional work to make them independent and useful citizens. It must always be remem­ bered that Goodwill serves only handicapped men and women, not able-bodied, socially disabled. By using a private collection point or house pickups, the r\ [p*, Dear friends, It is simply human and natural for a human being to cry at time of bereave­ ment and we should not try to talk people Into suppressing their tears. To weep is emotionally, physically and spiritually healthy. It is definitely therapeutic.

The depository boxes or depots originally were con­ structed and placed for public convenience, but abuse, van­ dalism and intentional damage disgraced the purpose and the property. Owners of public lots became discouraged with the eyesores created, and right­ fully so, Goodwill had a further disadvantage with this plan due to the shortage of able-bodied man-power.

Roudebush has reminded veterans that some of them may be making unnecessary premium payments on their National Service Life Insurance policies. "All NSLI policies beginning with World War II provide for a waiver of premium payments if you become totally disabled," Roudebush said. "A veteran owning this in-, surance may not be required to pay premiums if he or she becomes totally disabled before reaching age 65 and the disability has existed for at least six consecutive months," he added. But the VA administrator pointed out that, under the law, waiver of premium payments for disability is not automatic. "The veteran must apply for the waiver and refunds of premiums already paid after the onset of disability are usually limited to one year prior to the filing of the claim," he explained. \ Roudebush said "total disability" for insurance purposes means that the veteran is prevented from working because of the disability.

In every era of man's existence, there were many who ruled the people and there are many in today's era. "They claim their acts were considered and applied by wisdom, in fact they are tact­ ful, conceited, power made men. "Searching through the scattered leaves of the preterit (past) we find an example to measure what exists in the thoughts of the rulers of this era, its tensility of hazardous thoughts of what might happen tomorrow in this missile age. There may be the usual stiplate which acts as a preliminary condition that arises just before the prelude to war, or by unity of nations into one mindful thought, and begin to build up their strength in armed missile camps. "Generally both camps have prigs for rulers that have prescience and obtained knowledge of many sources or previous apprehension of that something previewed, giving a broad build-up in strength, which might explode any minute. There be the promotive of just two aspects to choose between, preventive action or push forward in an act the preventive powers that stress the generative for peace, consider the acts of war. Workwise Q. I've been working the day shift at the plant for ten years. We have new management who says that I must switch to the night shift. I can't because I would have no one to take care of my children. What can I do? A. There is no legislation in Illinois at the present time to cover this situation. If you are a union member, your local may be able to help you. Q. I am in great need of a live-in housekeeper. During a recent trip to England I met an older woman who would be quite suitable. I would like to employ her as soon as possible but was wondering how to go about employing a non-citizen. A. The first step you must take is to write a contract in­ cluding wages to be paid and hours to be worked. You and the prospective employee must fill out alien certification ap­ plications which are available from your nearest Em­ ployment Service Office (also available from the consulate in England). These forms should be mailed to Alien Employment Certification, 910 S. Michigan, 11th Floor, Chicago, Illinois, 60605. The application may be accepted or denied on the basis of the availability of U.S. citizens to fill your job. Submit all questions to Work- wise, Room 1830, 910 South Michigan, Chicago, II., 60605. and application form, veterans should contact the nearest VA office or write to the VA center which handles their insurance. "The generative powers are the most dangerous in their provocative tendencies by their build-up for a false peace or war. They have combinations, which they consider as examples of wisdom, controlled by tact, "Tis not for peace, it is for power which is usually exploded by a troubled mind of one of the prigs, who is more dangerously mad, thus a promotive for destruction be set by just one man, who makes a choice for peace or war. He should not have been trusted with so great a power. " 'Tis said, 'Man is likened unto sheep', he can be easily led to green pastures or to the slaughter in destructive devastation. Misleading promises were made, 'A war to end all wars' - save the world for democracy'; the same slogans to intrigue the people into high heat were again at­ tained in the second world war. "No good excuse can be of­ fered for the lives of the splendid young men of both sides in these conflicts. Start from the era of the first world war of which no one can give a really good reason why, only the prigs wanted to show their power. Many people of that era still living may speak out what prevailed in the early preterit, where little or no wisdom prevailed. "For certain prigs - friends or enemies make little dif­ ference as we face tomorrow's missiles. There be leaders on both sides, geared for the 1 slaughter. "In either of the two World Wars, they thought the young men of both sides were greatly thrilled as they went into the, slaughter - they were not although most of them fought like mad, they were in fact too scared to have any feeling at all; they were trained to fight and they gave their best. "The demons from hell, sent them td murder or be mur­ dered, their blood cried out for more and more blood to be shed to satisfy the prigs. "Kathryn Wagner "1612 N.
