It should also be rewarding for the agencies. Avis' annual ad budget has risen from $1,200,000 to $4,500,000 since the No. 2 campaign began, and Hertz's outlay is certain to increase as well...

If these "taxes," he continues, are added to the present military budget, it will actually be cheaper to pay for a volunteer army. The obvious and over-riding advantage of such an army is that the amount of coersion in society is reduced...
