Directors of the Pelmttto Bank,

Dwight F. Patterson, president
of the bank, said yesterday that the
proposed increase would be ac

of 8.000 common shares of the par

Private enterprise: Scanning
some of our papers last week I
found this little poem in The Tim-
monsville Times, taken from an Ar
kansas papefT
“The power to choose the work we
do,
- To grow and have the larger view.
To know and feel that we are free
To stand erect, not bow the knee.
To be not chattel of the State,
To be the -master of our fate,
To dare, to risk, to lose, to win,
To make our own career begin.
To serve the world in our own
way,
To gain in wisdom, day by day,
with hope and zest to climb, to
rise;
That is PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.”
Well, that’s about it, isn’t it?
I don’t know a paper in South
Carolina which isn’t on the side of
good government and sound eco- :
nomics. Some are more vigorous
than others, but the editors have
not lost their perspective.
If Moses had put the Children of
Israel on the Welfare rolls arid had
continued that support until now
the cost would be less than Presi
dent Truman has spent since July
1, 1945. I had all that calculated
some months ago. Now comes a
Professor of Economics of New
York University and tries his hand
on the budget which Mr. Truman
has presented to Congress for the
next fiscal year, beginning July 1.
Here is what the Professor says:
"Your editorial of January 22
describes Mr. Truman’s ’52-’53 bud
get 'as ‘too big for comprehension.’
I sympathize with the ‘frustration’
you experienced at the difficulties
involved in giving it meaning. Yet
we cannot give up; w’e must try
to give it meaning—win, lose or
draw.
Several attempts to illustrate the
magniude of Mr. Truman’s budget
are given below.
j (1) Suppose, on the day of
[ Christ’s birth, you had hired 10,000
j men at $10 a day. Suppose you
! had paid this amount day after
j day, year after year, century after
{century’, up to the present time.
You would not yet have spent $85
billion until the year 2329.
- (2) Suppose, back in 1945 on the
day Mr. Truman was inaugurated
you had hired three million men at
$10 per day. Suppose they were
paid, day in, day out, seven days a
week. You would not have spent
$85 billion until January, 1953.
(3) Let us suppose that, in 1952,
the median income per employed
person will be $4,000. The $85 bil
lion, therefore, represents the full
time employment, for one year, of
21 1-4 million people.
The remarkable fact in all this
is not that we have what is loose
ly called ‘inflation.’ Instead, it is
remarkable that the ‘inflation’ has
not proceeded even further.”
The leadership of Mr. Truman is
a calamity but sober 1 thinking men
are remembering that . Congress
must bear its part of the responsi
bility. Let us take note of. what
Congress is doing. It serves no
useful purpose to denounce Mr.
Truman for extravagance if that
ganization and to strengthen the
building on North Harper
street announced some time ago.
He said that plans for the build
ing are now in the hands of pros
pective contractors to bid on and
that most probably the building
would be started some time in
March. <

Facts truck owners should know about hauling
bigger payloads

by even our 1 own Congressmen

" Is
W ant to know why you can carry more pay-
load with Dodge "Job-Rated" trucks?
First, they’ve got better weight distribution.
This means that bigger payload capacity is engi
neered into a Dodge "Job-Rated" truck. Many
trucks carry too much weight on the rear axle,
not enough on the front. But in a Dodge truck,
the right proportion of the load is carried on
each axle.
Besides this better weight distribution, a shorter
wheelbase provides easier turning, easier park
ing. Come in and try one of these pay load-packin’^
easier-handling trucks for yourself. Get all'the
facts about hauling bigger payloads.
Carry moral In Dodge "Job-Rated" trucks, the
engine is placed forward and the front axle back
—for better distribution of the load. You can
carry bigger payloads—without overloading.
Haul faster! Dodge "Job-Rated* trucks are
powered by high-compression engines to give you
top performance with rock-bottom economy. Big
power gives you pull and speed that save time.
Gat longer life! There’s a Dodge truck that's
"Job-Rated" to fit your road and load condition
—with load-carrying and load-moving units fac
