ECONOMY IS DEAD
Most of the economy talk heard
from- politicians and others is hypo
critical and camouflage and means
little, when w^view the free ha^d of
spending, waste and extravagance
that prevails today throughout the
-eountiy.r — ——-
The Democratic administration.
swept back into office last week by
an unprecedented landslide, is the
greatest spending and borrowing ad
ministration in the nation’s history.
The people throughout the United
States, in no unmistakable way, gave
their endorsement to these policies
and with' the masses^ of the people,
;thore is an entire lack of evidence
that they disapprove such procedure.
In our county government, after
hearing much about economy before
the August primaries, we have sub-
stittrtwl therefor a free spending pmK
cy by the “old” defeated delegation
before going out of office. An in
crease of .six mills-in the levy has
been made for the year, while recent
road developrrtent plans by the pame
“‘lame duck” 'group, if they material
ize, call for an added 'ten-mill levy in
one year to foot the bill. Other than
the county papers, not a word of pub
lic protest or opposition to such tac
tics hai been expressed. And so the
story goes, spending lavishly by the
federal government, cities, towns and
other agencies intent on securing
funds for this project or thatr and
measuring congressmen and senators
by the yardstick of* whether they
are'able to bring back easy money to
their districts and respective states.

in the United States, insular and for

were given food,\clothing, shelter and
gation “approved” a loan of $5,000 to
be used by the supervisor in rebuild

of the new delegation, soon to assume
office, be enlis^d in making the loan.
