CONTROL OF POWER

We hear a great deal of talk these days about

. control of atomic power. Scientists everywhere -are
working diligently to harness the atom and its tremend-

‘ ous force. Solar energy is another power that experts

‘are striving to bring under control. These,are mighty ‘

and essential forces that will help fulfill the needs of
all mankind in the. decades to come.

But while we make progress’ in controlling these

more material aspects of the power situation, there

- is still one field where we appear to be losing ground.

For there is a form' of power that mankind has never

learned effectively to control, and it is'a power that

can be. more. dangerous than any other. Iam referring
to the power of government...

‘ We have all Seen the dreadfut events in countries
where the iron hand: of tyrants has tried to crush
the will of the.people, and we know, that.this system
of power is evil. But even in our democratic countries
we are liable to: give ‘too much. power to our govern-
ments in exchage for. measures which are introduced
yin the name. of public security. nekitect Gekeat

-. But. all these measures cost money. This) money
niet be collected in the form of:taxes, and every ad-
ditional tax is a double threat to freedom. <Every cent
we pay in taxes is equivalent to time spent working:
-for the. government. - If, as it is: estimated, one-third
_of our earnings now goto some form of government
as taxes, that means we spend one-third of our time
working to support government. The second part of
this double threat’ to freedom ‘comes when the govern-
ment starts to spend this money. The immense wealth
it has to distribute gives it a force that can buy the
support of people éven. though these~ people “may ‘not
realize they are selling: their iridependénce. ;

The power of government can only be controlled
if we will stop: begging for tax-high.security and start
looking “after our own ‘welfare through the common:
qualities of hard work, thrift and enterprise.
