Who Pays The National Debt? By Raymond PITCAIRN, National Chairman, Sentinels of the Republic

Out of the welter of political news emanating from Washington, during recent weeks has come a cheering statement. It is that the administration has renewed its promise to work toward a balanced budget.

With a national debt hovering around the $37,000,000,000 mark - highest in our history - and a growing deficit, the American people will hope that that promise is fulfilled. It means so much to them. Why? Because, as all economists point out, public dept means merely, postponed taxes and taxes mean a slash out of every worker's income.

This is obviously true when the worker pays his taxes directly. And it is just as true when he pays them INDIRECTLY, for our so called, "painless taxes", hit both the man who produces the goods on which they are levied and on the consumer, who ultimately purchases them in the form of food, or clothes, or shelter, or the necessary tools and equipment of his vocation.

Moreover, as economists point out further, heavy debts and their ominous threat of increased taxes, curtail production and with it, employment. And it is primarily to increased employment, with its spread of earnings among all citizens, that every producer, whether on the farm or in the many fields of business activity must look for restoration of the purchasing power on which depends his livelihood.

For progress toward a balanced budget, dispatches point out, certain brakes on Federal spending are required. They include an effort on the part of the heads of the many departments, bureaus and commissions at Washington, to KEEP within their budget estimates.

Those brakes should be applied. Certainly that is not too much to ask of our office-holders, when it influences so deeply the income and living standards of the American people.

Politicians create the Public Debt. But the workers - and their families - pay it.

Mr Chambers, who is the last Civil War veteran in the Honeoye Falls area, spent his anniversary in doing the usual chores about his farm home, preferring his regular routine to a celebration.

His first job as a lad was as a helper in his uncle's general store in Honeoye Falls, the family having moved from Victor to that village. At 16 years of age he ran away from home to enlist in the United States Navy during the Civil War, and boarded a train for New York after an eight mile trudge over rough roads from his home to Fishers. He went through several battles, and was in on the capture of Fort Fisher, December 24, 1864. He was discharged from the service, July 2, 1867.

In 1869, Chambers went to California in the first railroad across the continent, and worked on the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad between San Francisco and Sacramento.

Returning to North Bloomfield, he owned a general store for more than a quarter century, and served as village postmaster several terms. He also was commander of the Lewis Gates Post, G. A. R. in Honeoye Falls.
