Our Town And You Jme s e
After reaching legal vot
ing age,'each Virgin Island
er can expect tohaveabout
24 opportunities to vote
inan insular election.
Surely, none of us wants
to waste these opportuni
ties. We want to make the
most of them.
The way to make our
vote count most is to judge
the candidates by their
stand on important issues.
This can be illustrated
by just one issue, Govern
ment economy. Qur gov
ernment is a generous
fellow—often more gener
ous than prudent, consid
ering that he has nothing
to spend except our own
tax money. He has taught
us more and more to de
pend upon his support.

The line at his pay win

~ The time has come to
ask ourselves: How much
government spending can
we afford? Big spending
by government leads to
many complications. High
taxes, for example. And
higher prices. An enorm
ous debt that some day
must be paid. It leads
down the road tosocialism.
And it leads to corruption.
Let’s take up these mat
ters one at a time.
- You’ve seen ycur taxes go
)up lately. Maybe you don’t
realize how much becsuse
’a lot of your taxes are hid
den in the prices you pay.

Next, big spending by
government leads to infla
tion. And inflation, as we
know, means higher prices.
We have inflation w hen
there is a big increase in
the supply of money, with
out a corresponding in
creases in the production
of things to buy with that
money. T h e government
pours out sums of money
and produces nothing that
you or I can buy. .
Spending promotes big
government. Maybe you’ve
noticed that the bigger gov
ernment grows the more
it tells the people what to
do and when to do it. So
cialism, after all, is just big
government equipped with
all kinds of controls over
the lives of the people.
~ Finally, big spending in
vites corruption. Even
s t r o ng men are tempted
when money flows like wa
ter
So there you have it. On
November 4, you have a
choice to make. The issue
is:on theone hand, unrestrain
ed government spending, with
high iaxes, high prices, grow
ing debt, new steps toward
socialism, and corruption. On,
the other hand, fewer guvern
ment services, less spending,
some hopes of tax relief, less
upward pressure under prices,
a balanced budget, a return to
the traditional Americarn way
of life and less chance for cor
ruption in government
