Free City Parking Lot
The free parking lot recently pro
vided by the City on its vacant North
Broad street property is being gen

move since the property served no
need and has been owned by the city
for a long period of years.

the space be u-ei .or parking pur
poses designjvu that it be free to
the public. That is entirely proper.

member can cast a secret ballot, but
there are said to be ways in a crook
ed union to trace these ballots.
The power which certain leaders
like Lewis have acquired over the
members is often so violently abused
that upon several occasions it has
sctually endangered the lives of
many of our citizens. And this in a
supposedly civilized nation. And un

bone to put its foot down hard when)
these men attack the rights of the

to me principle of separation of
church and state,’’ which means they
refuse to rush to the federal govern
ment seeking handouts, as so many
others are doing. They give their own
money for whatever project they un
dertake
The Baptists, we say, are on solid
ground. When the Church begins to
use the instruments of the State it
becomes indebted to government,
federal or state and is destroying its
usefulness and influence and is mak
ing it easy for the state to bend it to
it* will. When an individual, church,
or any other organization accepts gov
ernment handouts it puts itself un
der obligation to the State.
Squeezing the People
The union leaders are roaring
again. They are telling us that we
have to pay more for everything we
buy so that they can put on another
big show for their members. They
are telling our pro-government that
war or no war their members must
have their “rights.”' We believe in
every man having his rights but not
through the methods laid down by
highly paid union leaders.
American laboring men (all of us
labor) usually are pretty good citi
zens. There are lice in the ranks,
also, but ninety per cent of them
would “tell you where to go” if you
asked them to sacrifice the interests
of their country so that they might
squeeze a few more dollars for them
selves. Unfortunately they are not
asked. They are told and command
ed.
There are decent union leaders and
there are rotten ones. Under the
Taft-Hartley law, which most of
these leaders hate, as does the Presi-
ness has made this county great. You
can see what a sad plight the aboli
tion of such a system in other coun
tries has brought their people. Com
petition, the most inexorable of all
economic influences, helps keep costs
and prices doyrn, and an informed
consumer public knows it.
We should diligently guard against
further spread of Socialism and Com
munism in America. It will destroy
our free enterprise system and place
us under government domination
where it becomes so easy to exploit
the public. We say look at Britain and
Russia for proof.
George Foresees
More Tax Hikes
Washington, t Oct. 24 — Senator
George (D-Ga.), a top congressional
manager of tax legislation, put the
nation on notice today to expect fur
ther multi-billion dollar increases in
taxes, notwithstanding the victory in
Korea.
He foresaw: 1 ■}
1. Enactment of a corporations ex
cess profits Jpx by Christmas—or at
least “very early in 1951”—to be ef
fective retroatively as of last July
1 or October 1. This bill will be
confined sffictly to a super tax on
excess profits or “war profits.”
2. The possibility of another gen
eral tax bill next year. He did not
elaborate on what this next bill
would do.
“Ti*? successes in Korea,” George
told nevsmen, “do not remove the
necessity for additional taxes. We
cannot alford not to go ahead with
strengtheiing our defenses—and that
costs money.”
