Pace Ten Special Privileges Red Tape of Ti Regime Castigated Chairman of Illinois G. O. P. Addresses Women in Rockford Meet Following arc some excerpts from an address delivered Friday by Paul C. Kosenquist, chairman of the Illinois Republican state central committee, at a meeting- oi the Winnebago County Republican Women's Club in Rockford "Illinois in 1946 paid in national taxes a greater sum than was col lected from all 4S states in 1936.

The national government took fro mlllinois in taxes in 1946 the staggering total of $3,545,699,997. And in 1936 the entire national from the states "was S3.494.330.S91. Thus, we in Illi nois in '4S outdid the nation for '36 and not only did we equal the national payment' of ten years before, we contributed some $51,000,000 more. "It is estimated that we in Illinois get back only about thirty cents on our dollar, while the Democratic tr 1 of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi get back from seventy to eighty cents for each tax dollar paid to the national treasury. And Lincoln said we were equal I "If you are wondering how that fifty billion tax figure is collected remember that each of us has a.

final deadline with the internal revenue department on the fifteenth of March. Do you any other tax that compares with the total of your income tax costs? Then add to that amount the numerous hidden taxes on everything you purchase and you will see that the business of taxation is reaching deep into your pocket The boys in Washington are now digging at the very bottom. They are the ones who are against any reduction of income taxes." Produces Red Tape "Almost one-third of our national income is already spent be- I fore you receive it being earmarked for taxes. The dollar you pay in taxes to Truman and his select circle produces government red tape and jobs for the bureaucrats. And here is the proof for that statement Mr.

Truman's budget for the current fiscal year was approximately four times the amount of the largest peace-time budget ever proposed by his predecessor in office. And the late F.D.R. was never miserly nor slow in the spending of public money!" "We recognize the threat of Communism to our system of government; we know the dangers that face us from abroad, and the jealousies and rivalries of centuries and centuries of the Old World; but here at home we overlook the termites who are daily gnawing at the very foundation of our government. They are the special privilege groups. They put one faction against the other and clamor for bigger hunks of the cake and attempt to arouse the hostility and dissatisfaction of everyone.

"Today racial intolerance, religious bigotry, and other forms of man's dishonesty to his fellow men are on the increase because the special privilege boys have gone unhampered for these years. The time is long past for real Americans to seek, to urge, or to hope to be the specially selected few over and above their fellow men in receiving from government that which cannot be given to every American equally. The envy that develops when one or several select persons are so privileged can breed only hatred and distress. To keep our American heritage, we must follow the pattern of the pioneers who carved out this nation and who worked jointly in building their homes and in creating the schoolhousc and the church. Welding their community and setting up a common defense their enemies who would take over their little communities, they sacrificed and worked jointly for the benefit of all.

Their efforts gave ns the greatest heritage of freedom ever known to this world. The days of pioneering and sacrifice are undoubtedly at an end. for we live in the greatest age ever known to civilization and enjoy the highest standard of living over experienced hy man. But wc do owe it lo -our wives and children and their children to be Ihe first to refuse any offer of special privilege or any overture of a disguised guest and to recognize the package for what it really contains the destruction of the republic form of Glenn 'N Jerry French Fried Chicken 7-Bone Steaks Homemade Pie and Cake OPEN 10:00 A.M.

Special Privilege wo of the most recent in stances of special privilege dealing by the head of our national government are the paroles of the four Capone mobsters and that of Mayor Curley of Boston.

The four gangsters were guilty of extorting millions of dollars from the movie industry by their betrayal of union labor. Mayor Curley was guilty of mail fraud. Both trials were carried by appeal to the Supreme Court and in all instances the appeals the defendants were found guilty. A dues-paying member of the Pendergast machine has basic training for the freeing of convicts. Harry prevented the reappointment of the federal district attorney who prosecuted his political mentor, soley because 'Boss Pendergast' did not approve of the man who convicted him for fraud.

That is special privilege of the most ruyil ess and devastating nature for it destroys confidence of the people in our elected officials and in law enforcement. 'The lone conclusion one can draw from these two mockeries and order is that the jovial pianist has traded freedom from federl incarceration to. convicts for assurances that he be supported for the presidency. The tune he has struck sounds a false note for the public knows him for what he is a dealer in special privilege. 'Truman knows that he must throw everything into the race to be a candidate for the highest office in our land- Harry will trade anything for Harry's personal benefit and if he misses a single bet.

be sure that the power-thirsty crew that he has about him will do an extra bit of special-privilege trading to keep him and themselves at the throttle. "Mayor Curley is one of the few remaining bosses who brought Truman into the office of Harry hopes that this parole will bring Massachusetts into his column but he'll learn that the folks there will not be fooled. The Capone gangsters who received especially fast parole are looked to for delivery of the underworld vote of the nation.
