MEMBER: SOUTH CAROLINA PRESS ASSOCIATION NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION National Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New York Chicago Detroit Philadelphia billion a year. Estimates for the new budget are 75 billion. So 25 billion more has got to come out of an al ready overtaxed people to save them from a far worse fate than still high er taxes—inflation, for which gov ernment is chiefly responsible. If Mr. Truman will cut the old pork barrel by seven billion, and if we can raise enough money to bal ance the budget, the Truman “dol lar” could stage a comeback. But | that is not going to happen, judging the present by the past six years. There is a tax limit beyond which it is dangerous to go. We may not I have reached that point yet, but at : the rate we are going we are def initely on our way. It is easy for the New Deal-Fair Deal spenders to say a "billion dol lars”, and it is easier for Mr. Tru man to spend one. He is now going to' find out what a billion dollars really is.

Ratify The Amendment The lower house has approved a resolution ratifying a proposed armendment to the United States Con stitution prohibiting a person. Dem ocrat, Republican, or whatnot—from being elected president of the United Slates more than twice. This amendment, a badly needed one, will become valid when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states. The resolution now goes to the senate where it was pigeon holed last year. Certain powers -in that body were against it then, and most likely will be this time when it comes up for consideration again. The resolution should be approved. The country is fed up on this “in dispensable’’ chatter we heard for a third, fourth or fifth term for the 1 Jate Roosevelt, and now for Presi dent Truman from certain groups in exingress. We will hear the same pro paganda that the present occupant of the White House is needed for a third term to “save the country.” The Democratic party admits it is abort on material.

The slogan is being gen erously emphasized upon the people back home. President Truman tells us that we all must sacrifice, the farmer, wage earner and business man. Those are splendid words, but they are receiving little heed from the American people, and the rea son is obvious. About the only ones making sacrifices are our young men fighting in Korea, and many making Die supreme sacrifice. The rest of us are doing no sacri ficing because we see that govern ment officials are determined to sac rifice nothing but go right ahead spending as usual and living in lux ury at taxpayers expense. Witn a war on our hands, spending-as-usual at the order of the day. As an ex ample banks are intructed to restrict credit and retire a billion dollars bom circulation to reduce borrowing. And at the same breath new lending .agencies a re being established, one in this state recently—to encourage and Joan money and much of it on ex perimental or unsound proposals banks would not consider making because of sound banking and their responsiility to their depositors and stockholders. Many other records cxmld be cited of spending-as-usual. The people are willing to sacri fice if necessary, to destroy com munism, but not until given an ex ample by government agencies and officials.
