People Must Be Free This country has suffered from an overdose of government -regulation and intereference for the past four teen years. _ „ Our pressing need now is to return to a business system of free enter- prise, recognizing the fact that the agriculture department an nouncement said it must last until October 21, when rationing and price controls expire unless extended by instead of the $1,000 | congres !l “extra pay’ figure. This does not change the | jyjjgg DARR HONORED principle one iota. Seven hundred I is just as bad as one thousand. The grab cannot be justified in our opinion. The legislative pay was raised from $600 to $1,000 and it was definitely stated in the act that this increase s'hould be in lieu of any additional “expense” payments. If man who invests capital as well as'.those who run for office are not will the man who insests his labor in an jing to S e rv e for the stipulated re- enterpnse is entitled to whatever re- j mUneration, they should not offer ward he is able to elfn.

Under f.ee enterprise, the freedom of the individual is inviolate. This means that politicians, na- business men do and stop wasting time and taxpayers’ money — there would be no need for prolonged ses sions. The act states that the legislative pay is $1,000 per session. The extra t.onal, "state and county, should get| pay its me mbers rushed to the treas- ! nei .L n0 ^,„ Of ,.

They have raised their own pay during the term to whicn they h^d been elected, and calling it official expense money does not justify the raid. The record is that this county’s senator and three representatives voted for the extra compensation. AUXILIARY TO MEET The American Legion Auxiliary will meet Tuesday afternoon, May 20, at 3:30 at the home of Mrs. M. L. Robertson on Calvert avenue. people. The function of government is .to establish and enforce a set of roles to fit the conduct of our eco- M '.mic life—and then to permit the players in the game to do whatever they may please wtihin those rules. Ji a man loses, he must accept the j loss. If he wins, he has a right to the’ gain. Under any workable definition of free enterprise, government must keep out of business. The people are more and more going to demand this from here on out. Socialized! enterprise and tree enterprise cannot I p f^rr i i r*cc long exist side by side. The first! Oy Otfc MCVSCC will swallow the other, and then allj basic freedoms will be lost. A free competitive enterprise sys tem is our only hope to solve the problems that lie ahead. — NOBODY'S BUSINESS The 'Extra Pay' Grab Section 30 of Article III of the Constitution of South Carolina reads: “Extra Compensation Not Per mitted—Appropriations for Re pelling Invasion—The General Assembly shall never grant ex tra compensation, fee or allow ance to any public officer, agent, servant contractor after ser vice rendered, or contract made, nor authorize payment or part payment of any claim under any * contract not authorized by law; but appropriations may be made for expenditures in repelling in vasions, preventing or suppress ing insurrection.” And Section 23 of this constitution reads, in part: “Members of the General As sembly, and all officers before they enter upon the duties of their respective offices, and all members of the bar, before they enter upon the practice of their profession, shall take and sub scribe the following oath: T do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I am duly qualified, according to the Constitution of this state, to exercise the duties of the office I A-Flshing Went Several years ago, when I was! financially able to enjoy a vacation j I went down to Murrel’s Inlet on a fishing excursion. The fellow who! carried my friend and myself out to! the black rocks made us get up and leave at 4 o’clock a. nv. Guess we, had to slip up on the fish while they i were asleep. My partner became seasick before he got out of sight of land and he remained too sick to fish. I caught so many fish I gol tired pulling them out.
