by Kevin MooneyThe Daily Signal

Few people in eitherparty in Washington arehappy with the currenttax code, so what if wesimply started over?

That is at the root of aproposal to sunset thecurrent tax code on Dec.31, 2019. Rep. Bob Good-latte, R-Va., has intro-duced the Tax CodeTermination Act (HR 27),which would do exactlythat.

“Even though tax re-form has been discussedfor many years, we haveyet to see any major ac-tions to simplify the taxcode,” Goodlatte said in apress release.

“We must force Con-gress to tackle tax reformhead on. The best wayforward is to scrap thecurrent tax code andstart fresh. This legisla-tion would allow us, as anation, to collectively de-cide what the new taxsystem should look like.There are many compet-ing alternatives, but hav-ing a set date to end thecurrent tax code willforce the issue and thedebate to the top of thenational agenda.”

Colin Hanna, presi-dent of Let FreedomRing, a conservative or-ganization that supportsthe proposal, said thesunset date was chosenso the question ofwhether to scrap the sys-tem and start over couldbe part of the 2016 pres-idential campaign but thedebate over what comes

next would not occuruntil after the election.

This way, he said,those on the right whowant a simpler, flattercode and those on the leftwho want to make itmore progressive bothcould find a way to sup-port Goodlatte’s legisla-tion, which has 78co-sponsors.

“We are very carefullynot pushing any particu-lar replacement plan,”Hanna told The Daily Sig-nal. “Our goal is toachieve unity from allproponents of funda-mental tax reform.”

Hanna said if Democ-rats come to see theyhave a good chance to re-take the Senate in 2016they may welcome an op-portunity to rewrite thecode from scratch. “Someprogressives might wellsee sun-setting the cur-rent code as the best firststep on the way togreater progressivity inthe tax code,” he said. “Ifthey come to that conclu-sion, I would welcome itas serendipity.”

In the meantime, hehas reached out to thetwo declared Republicanpresidential contenders— Sens. Rand Paul ofKentucky and Ted Cruz ofTexas, who both favor re-placing the current taxsystem with a simpler taxcode. He intends to reachout to candidates in bothmajor parties.

“I see real opportunityto impact the presiden-tial race and to start a na-tional conversation, and Ithink we set the right

date,” Hanna said. “If wepush it too far out, itdoesn’t create a sense ofurgency, but if we were toset it too soon then itmight create uncertaintyand instability in the fi-nancial markets.”

But Curtis Dubay, a taxand economic policy an-alyst with The HeritageFoundation, was less cer-tain of the strategy. Al-though he “sees noharm,” in getting mem-bers of Congress onrecord who support re-form, he would prefer tosee elected officials fol-low through with an al-ternative to the currenttax code.

“If they are going to gothrough the energy ofsunsetting the tax code,why not reform the taxcode?” he said. “Therewill be two congressesbetween now and 2019,so what happens in thecurrent Congress is notbinding on the next.That’s the problem.”

But Hanna insisted“starting over fromscratch” is the way to go.

“This is the kind ofproposal that can promptsome introspectivethought on the part ofthose who are seriousabout reform,” Hannasaid. “Those who haveparticular target dates inmind for more incremen-tal reforms, and thosewho favor a flat tax orother alternative, willconclude that startingfrom a blank slate is awhole lot easier than be-ginning with a 4 million-word tax code that’s

longer than the Bible.First, sunset the currentsystem. Then, the restcan follow.”

NOTICEMOBERLY, Mo. — Spending few hours

now on spring home maintenance cansave you many hours and dollars later,says a University of Missouri Extensionhousing specialist.

Tom Fuhrman says it’s time to takecare of any problems caused by winterweather and spring storms to protectyour investment.

Winter’s freeze-and-thaw cycles, haildamage and heavy rains can allow waterto enter the home. “Water inside yourhome is not a friend of the home,”Fuhrman said. Water can result in rot,mold and discoloration, and can also at-tract rodents and other pests.

Start at the basement and work upward, inside and out, Fuhrmansays:

• Look for dampness and cracks inthe foundation. Seal small cracks and calla foundation expert for larger breaks.Cracks, bulges and moisture signal prob-lems.

• Check water heaters for corrosionand leaks.

• Check for lint buildup in the dryerduct. Use the attachments on the vac-uum cleaner to suck out lint. Make surethe outside vent hood is securely at-tached.

• Check kitchen appliances. Clean thetray under your refrigerator and vacuumthe coils on the back. Check seals. Pullthe appliances out from the wall andclean underneath and behind them eachspring.

• Check the bathroom tub, showerand stool to see if caulking is intact.Check areas for water tightness. Exam-ine areas around drains and under sinksfor dampness and leaks.

• Check windowsills for buckling orleaks. Check doors; sticking may indicatefoundation problems.

• Do a general cleaning. Dust and vac-uum weekly. Spring-clean by washingcabinets inside and out and cleaning car-pets. Wash windows inside and out. Re-

move storm windows and wash screenswith a mild detergent before installing.

Take a walk around the outside ofyour home:

• Check for cracks in the basement,crawl space, brick or masonry.

• Look for loose siding and trim, andfor paint that has peeled or cracked.

• Check for loose or leaky gutters.Make sure downspouts drain wateraway from the foundation. Removeleaves and other debris from gutters.

• Use a screwdriver to probe for rot-ted areas of exposed wood trim aroundwindows, doors, decks and railings.

• From the ground, check for buckledor loose roof shingles. Use binoculars toinspect closely. Pay special attention toareas around the chimney, skylights andvents.

• Check the chimney for signs of dam-age. Hire a chimney sweep to clean thechimney.

• Remove firewood stored near thehouse. This prevents rodents and insectsfrom finding a summer home.

• Have an HVAC expert examine theair conditioning and furnace units.Change furnace filters monthly.

• Check for cracks in driveways andsidewalks.

• Fill in low-lying areas with com-pacted soil, especially near the founda-tion. Spring rains can wash away soil andlet water seep into your crawl space orbasement.

• Power wash your home’s exterior.• Spring-clean your windows inside

and out. Fuhrman recommends a low-cost vinegar-and-water mix and news-papers to clean.

Mary Spaulding Balch has been fighting againstwhat she calls “dismemberment abortion” since shewas 17 years old.

Now, at 60, she’s breathing a sigh of relief.“It’s been a long time. Too long,” Balch told The

Daily Signal in a phone interview. “I was naïveenough to think back in the 70s, we would be able toget this under control rather quickly.”

Balch was referring to an abortion procedure thatrequires doctors to “knowingly dismember” a livingunborn child during the second trimester and ex-tract it “one piece at a time” from the mother’suterus.

On Tuesday, Kansas became the first state in thenation to ban a certain type of dilation and evacua-tion procedure, where the unborn child is dismem-bered before being killed.

Similar legislation was introduced in Missouri,South Carolina and Oklahoma.

In Oklahoma, the bill was approved by the Senateon Wednesday afternoon and will now go to the gov-ernor’s desk, where she is expected to sign it intolaw.

Pro-life advocates — including Republican Gov.Sam Brownback — say this type of dilation and evac-uation (or “D&X”) is a particularly “horrific” way toend an unborn child’s life.

“This is a horrific procedure and we are pleased toban it in Kansas and we hope it will be banned na-tionally,” Brownback said after signing the bill intolaw.

According to language passed by the Kansas statelegislature, the procedure requires “the use ofclamps, grasping forceps, tongs, scissors or similarinstruments that, through the convergence of tworigid levers, slice, crush or grasp a portion of the un-born child’s body in order to cut or rip it off.”

The bill does not ban dilation and evacuationwhere the unborn child is killed by suction withoutthe use of forceps or where the unborn child is killedby a lethal injection before dismemberment.

The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gy-necologists says the method is “safe and effective”for the mother, is often “less emotionally challeng-ing” and usually “faster and may be more cost-effec-tive” than medical abortion.

With a medical abortion, certain drugs are takento cause an abortion. A medical abortion does not re-quire surgery or anesthesia, but multiple visits to ahealth care provider are needed.

The pro-life movement has been been waging awar on this type of dilatation and extraction — what

they call “dismemberment abortion” — for years.“We’re talking about a living unborn child, where

the body is formed to the point where you can’t sim-ply use a vacuum to remove that child,” Balch, whonow serves as the director of state legislation for Na-tional Right to Life, told The Daily Signal. “You nowhave to go in with sharp forceps to grab limbs anddisarticulate them from the baby’s body, and thebaby dies by bleeding to death.”

Opponents of Kansas’ new law, like Julie A.Burkhart of the pro-choice Trust Women Founda-tion, call Kansas’ legislation “dangerous” because it“dictates to physicians the scope of their practiceand implies that certain medical treatments thatphysicians may use would lead to criminalization.”

Pro-choice groups also criticize the law for not in-cluding exemptions for cases of rape and incest (onlyto preserve the life or health of the mother) and fearthe ban is a first step to outlawing all types of abor-tions.

“Planned Parenthood is disappointed but not sur-prised by the signing of Senate Bill 95, which waswritten not by physicians and medical experts, butby a national interest group bent on banning abor-tion across the country,” said Laura McQuade, pres-ident and CEO of Planned Parenthood Advocates ofKansas and Mid-Missouri, in a press release. “We willcontinue to expose all extreme political measuresaimed at denying women access to health care and atundermining their decision-making ability.”

Balch, whose organization National Right to Lifepenned the legislation, says women seeking life-end-ing procedures still have choices.

“There are other abortion procedures that wouldbe available to a woman who is raped but this par-ticular procedure — there’s no reason to do that toan innocent unborn child,” she said.

Senate Bill 95, which was signed into law duringa private ceremony on Tuesday by Brownback, islikely to be challenged in courts.

The bill appears to conflict with decisions handed

down both by the Kansas Supreme Court and the U.S.Supreme Court, which legalized abortion until afetus is able to survive outside the womb.

In that case, Balch says, National Right to Lifewould “welcome” the opportunity to defend the pol-icy in court.

We think the time has come for the American peo-ple to understand just what a ‘dismemberment abor-tion’ is. We think that if they knew what washappening in secret—what is happening within theclosed doors of groups like Planned Parenthood wherethey literally rip a living unborn child from limb tolimb until he or she bleeds to death—I think mostAmerican people would demand that it stop.

This article was updated to clarify the type of dila-tion and evacuation abortion procedure Kansas’ bill ad-dresses.

(BPT) — With the snow

melted and the ground

thawed, many eager

homeowners and land-

scape professionals across

the country will roll up

their sleeves and reach for

their garden shovels to

start projects that require

digging this spring.

During the transition

into “digging season,”

Common Ground Alliance,

the association dedicated

to protecting underground

utilities and the people

who dig near them, re-

minds homeowners and

professional diggers that

calling 811 is the first step

toward protecting you and

your community from the

risk of unintentionally

damaging an underground

line.

Every digging project,

no matter how large or

small, warrants a free call

to 811. Installing a mail-

box or fence, building a

deck and landscaping are

all examples of digging

projects that should only

begin a few days after

making a call to 811. Call-

ing this number connects

you to your local one-call

utility notification center.

Nearly half of American

homeowners say they do

not plan to make a free call

to 811 before digging, ac-

cording to data collected

by CGA in late February.

Extrapolated to the full

population of U.S. home-

owners, approximately

38.6 million people will

dig this year without first

calling 811.

A utility line is dam-

aged every six minutes in

America because someone

decided to dig without

making a call to 811 to

learn the approximate lo-

cation of buried utilities in

their area. Unintentionally

striking one of these lines

can result in inconvenient

outages for entire neigh-

borhoods, harm to your-

self or your neighbors and

repair costs.

As a result, CGA offers

the following tips to make

sure you complete your

project safely and without

any utility service inter-

ruptions, so you don’t be-

come a statistic.

Here’s how the 811

process works:

1. One free, simple

phone call to 811 makes it

easy for your local one-call

center to notify all appro-

priate utility companies of

your intent to dig. Call a

few days prior to digging

to ensure enough time for

the approximate location

of utility lines to be

marked with flags or paint.

2. When you call 811, a

representative from your

local one-call center will

ask for the location and

description of your dig-

ging project.

3. Your local one-call

center will notify affected

utility companies, which

will then send profes-

sional locators to the pro-

posed dig site to mark the

approximate location of

your lines.

4. Only once all lines

have been accurately

marked, roll up those

sleeves and carefully dig

around the marked areas.

There are nearly 20

million miles of under-

ground utility lines in the

United States that your

family depends on for

everyday needs including

electric, gas, water and

sewer, cable TV, high-

speed Internet and land-

line telephone, which

equals more than a foot-

ball field’s length of utili-

ties for every person in the

United States. With that

much critical infrastruc-

ture underground, it’s im-

portant to know what’s

below and call 811 before

digging.

(BPT) — Have you ever walked into

a room that was so full of over-sized

furniture it made an already small

space feel miniscule and unusable? Or

tricked your tummy into being satisfied

with less food by using a small plate to

make a modest portion look huge?

Scale makes a decided difference in

many aspects of life, and gardening is

no different.

Whether you’re gardening in con-

tainers or have a big plot in your back-

yard, right-sizing your plant picks to

coincide with your available garden

space can yield a more productive and

pleasurable gardening experience.

More than a third of all American

households now grow some type of

food themselves, making food garden-

ing the third largest yard activity after

landscaping and lawn care, the Na-

tional Gardening Survey shows.

Whether you aim to trim grocery

bills by growing your own produce, add

your own fresh herbs to your summer

cooking, or just plain love to garden,

choosing the right plants for your gar-

dening space — pot or plot — is your

best bet for great success.

Get your garden growingVeggie and herb gardens need

plenty of sunshine and water, no mat-

ter what you’re planting, or growing

them in. Six to eight hours of bright

light every day is best, so choose a sun-

drenched spot in your yard for raised

beds or larger gardens, and place pots

and containers on sunny porches,

decks or patios.

Use a good potting mix for contain-

ers and raised beds; it should be light

weight and provide fast drainage. For

garden plots, till soil, test for quality

and work any necessary amendments

into the soil before planting. All food

plants need to be fed. Consistent and

frequent watering, good drainage and

a quality plant food such as Bonnie

Plant Food are needed for good plant

health and harvest.

Cultivating in containers andraised beds

Gardening doesn’t require a huge

plot of land for hefty harvests and good

success. Planting in containers can

solve space problems and raised beds

allow you to enjoy a garden if you’re

short on space or have poor soil quality

in your yard. Place containers in a

sunny spot, whether it’s an apartment

balcony or backyard patio. Make sure

the pots are large enough for the plants

you’ll put in them and have good

drainage holes. Consider container

color; dark containers will absorb

more heat, so try using lighter colored

containers.

Plants suited for containers include:

• All herbs.

• All greens. Add flowers to the same

pot for an ornamental touch.

• Tomatoes like Bonnie Plants’ pop-

ular Husky Cherry Red, Patio, Bush

Early Girl, Bush Goliath and

Better Bush. For larger vari-

eties, use a large pot, at

least 5 gallons for each

plant and support plants

with a cage.

• Smaller eggplants such

as Patio Baby Mini Egg-

plants.

• Peppers, like Lunchbox

Sweet Snacking Peppers,

that are smaller in size and

high in yield.

• Cucumbers if you add a

trellis to the pot and train

them to climb.

Raised beds can host

bigger veggies like Beef-

master Tomatoes, or vari-

eties that require more

room to spread on the

ground like zucchini. They’re also great

for greens like collards, lettuce, mus-

tard and Swiss chard, and a variety of

peppers, beans and eggplants.

Planting plotsIn-ground gardens allow you

much more room for larger plants.

Even if your plot isn’t huge, it can

accommodate plants that require

more room, like watermelon and

corn. In addition to staples for

your table like greens, tomatoes

and peppers, a garden plot allows

you to incorporate a greater vari-

ety of veggies, like beans, peas and

squash, in your garden plans.

No matter where you live or

how much or little space you

might have, you can enjoy grow-

ing your own food. Be sure to

right-size, according to your space

and need. Once you get growing,

you’ll love the homegrown flavor

of your harvest and the enjoyment gar-

dening brings.

It’s a great time to insulate

(BPT) — Heavy snowfall that lingers

for weeks or months, extreme tempera-

tures, ice that thaws and then refreezes

— Old Man Winter can be rough on your

home’s hardscape. When the last vestiges

of cold weather finally melt away, you can

find yourself heading into spring with

pitted driveways, cracked asphalt and

crumbling landscaping. It’s important to

make repairs before summer heats up

and puts further stress on these impor-

tant areas.

Doing your own hardscape repairs

isn’t difficult. You’ll save money, and

doing it yourself gives you the opportu-

nity to get some outdoor exercise this

spring. Here are some hardscape features

that commonly need a little TLC in the

spring:

Asphalt driveways — Winter delivers

the perfect mix of conditions to cause

potholes, pits and cracks in asphalt sur-

faces. Wet, cold conditions work to

weaken minute fissures, cracks and other

flaws in an asphalt driveway. Add in the

vehicles that travel over it constantly —

not to mention the occasional snow plow

— and when spring arrives, your asphalt

driveway could need some serious repair.

While you may need pros to pour new

asphalt, repairing existing asphalt is well

within the abilities of most DIYers. For

pothole repairs, start by sweeping and

removing any loose materials from the

area needing repair. Next, pour U.S. Cold

Patch by Sakrete in the trouble spot and

spread evenly to a depth of no more than

2 inches at a time. Use the back side of a

shovel to compact the material, then,

since there is no oily tracking with this

material, just drive over it a few times

with your vehicle. The compaction causes

the product to cure into an effective

patch. For deeper potholes, keep repeat-

ing in 2 inch amounts until completely

filled.

Patios and pavers — Patio pavers and

bricks can shift, sink or raise, and even

crack during a tough winter. If your patio

has a sand underlay, fixing problems is

relatively easy. For broken or cracked

pavers, simply remove the damaged

pieces, check that the sand is level, and

fill the gap with a new paver or brick. If

your patio has become uneven over time,

you’ll need to lift all the uneven pavers,

level the sand beneath — you may have

to add sand — and then put the pavers

back atop the now-level sand.

Concrete surfaces — Concrete is a com-

mon hardscape material around homes

across the country. Concrete driveways,

walkways and steps can all succumb to

cracking, crumbling, chipping and

spalling after a harsh winter. Fortunately,

concrete is an easy material to fix, and

patching a problem while it’s small may

help prevent a much costlier repair or

even replacement down the road. To re-

pair cracks of virtually any size, simply

apply an easy-to-use concrete patcher.

Power wash cracks to remove debris. For

larger fissures, it may be necessary to use

a hammer and chisel to remove crum-

bling concrete and produce a clean,

clearly delineated repair site.

For resurfacing old, damaged or

spalled concrete, resurfacing materials

provide an easy alternative to costly re-

placement. Simply remove loose materi-

als from the surface, mix the material,

dampen the concrete surface with water

and pour the resurfacing material onto

the concrete slab. Use a long-handled

squeegee to spread the mixture evenly.

Be sure to protect expansion and control

joints with tape to prevent filling.

Retaining walls — Whether your brick,

stone or cinderblock retaining wall is act-

ing as a retaining wall or simply a deco-

rative one, moisture is not its friend. If

your region has had a lot of snow this

past winter, check your landscaping walls

for damage such as cracks in mortar,

shifted stones or crumbling bricks. Re-

pairing cracked mortar is easy as long as

the bricks or stones it secures remain in

good position. Just use a hammer and

chisel to carefully remove the cracked

mortar to a little more than half the depth

of the stone or brick, taking care not to

damage the bricks. Then fill the gap with

new mortar. To replace cracked bricks in

ornamental walls, remove the damaged

brick and the mortar around it, then re-

mortar and replace with a new brick

A few simple repairs will help ensure

your home’s hardscape is in good shape,

and ready for whatever summer weather

brings.

Was winter hard on your hardscape?Tips for simple DIY repairs

(BPT) — Nothing says

summer like neighbor-

hoods coming alive with the

sounds of lawn mowers and

the smell of fresh-cut grass.

But getting the lawn mower

out of the shed and running

properly can be a struggle

early in the season. You turn

the key and the riding lawn

mower roars to life. Then

the engine promptly sput-

ters and dies. Before tearing

apart the engine or calling a

mechanic, look inside the

gas tank.

“Every spring, we see is-

sues with mowers caused

by homeowners using gaso-

line left over from the year

before,” says Dwight Grosz,

a small engine mechanic

near Bismarck, N.D. “Over

time, untreated fuel begins

to break down, which leads

to hard starting, poor per-

formance or an engine that

won’t start at all.”

Why gasoline goes badWhat causes gasoline to

break down? The first thing

to go is gasoline’s volatility.

The lightest chemicals

evaporate first, leaving a

heavier gasoline that does-

n’t combust properly. The

engine will probably still

run, just not as well.

“A more serious problem

is oxidization,” says Paul

Herskind, a refined fuels ex-

pert at CHS, which refines

and sells Cenex-brand fuels

at more than 1,400 fueling

locations. “When inspecting

fuel that has sat unused

over the winter, watch for

signs that it is darker in

color and smells sour. It

might have small pieces of

gum floating in it. These are

all signs the fuel has oxi-

dized. You don’t want that in

your engine.”

Oxidization is the result

of hydrocarbons in the fuel

reacting with oxygen to

produce new compounds,

explains Herskind. This re-

sults in gum, which can clog

gas lines and filters and

create deposits in the fuel

system. Gummed-up carbu-

retors can be expensive to

fix and may not run prop-

erly until deposits are re-

moved.

“Finally, there’s the issue

of water contamination,”

adds Herskind. Water usu-

ally finds its way into fuel

tanks through condensa-

tion caused by fluctuating

temperatures. Water in

your engine will lead to

hard starting and sputter-

ing.

How to fix itIf your mower won’t

start because you’ve been

using old gasoline, you’ll

need to remove the old fuel

and any built-up residue in

the engine. Begin by refer-

ring to the owner’s manual

for service procedures.

Next, siphon out the old

gasoline into a container for

proper disposal. Then, if the

lawn mower runs for a few

seconds and dies, the car-

buretor might be clogged

or have old fuel in the float

bowl.

“When the volatile in-

gredients in fuel evaporate,

it leaves a sticky, varnish-

like substance that clogs

the small jets in carbure-

tors,” says Grosz. “Once that

happens, the only solution

is to use a carburetor

cleaner to remove varnish

deposits.”

After cleaning the carbu-

retor, add fresh fuel and a

fuel stabilizer to help keep

the system clean.

After treating the fuelGrosz advises going

through a quick checklist to

ensure your mower’s ready

for the season. Consult your

owner’s manual for main-

tenance recommendations.

First, change the oil to

remove contaminants,

sludge and acids. Drain the

old oil out and refill the

crankcase. Grosz recom-

mends using oil manufac-

tured specifically for

smaller engines and lawn

mowers, such as Cenex

2-Cycle Oil. Consult your

owner’s manual for

manufacturer recommen-

dations.

Next, replace the air fil-

ter. Last, don’t forget to

sharpen the mower blade

and remove any grass that’s

caked to the underside of

the motor deck.

How to avoid future issues

“To avoid future issues

with stale fuel, try not to

store gasoline in tanks or

containers for more than

two months,” says Her-

skind. “If you know gaso-

line will be sitting for

longer than that, add a fuel

stabilizer. This will help

prevent oxidization.” At the

end of the season, use a fuel

stabilizer rather than drain-

ing the gas tank, which ex-

poses carburetors and fuel

lines to water and air.

“A quality fuel stabilizer

can keep gas fresh for as

long as 12 to 15 months.

But the stabilizer needs to

be added to new gasoline,”

says Herskind. “It won’t

bring stale fuel back to life.”

For more helpful infor-mation on engine mainte-nance, refined fuels andother useful topics. “Readersare also given an opportu-nity to nominate someonethey know for free fuel,” addsHerskind. “It is always easierto get the lawn mowerstarted with a fresh tank ofgasoline, especially if it’sfree.“
