Pajie Four v THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, June 19, 1952 COMMENT ON MEN AND THINGS By The Spectator The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the President had no lawful authority to seize the ruled tains Judge Pine. What about the ether district Judge? And what about othty district judges in oth er parts of the United States? What is the law? Ask yourself that over and over. What is the law? ' When the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against the as- , sumed power to seize private prop- | erty in this case that fully and con clusively set forth the law, didn’t it? By no means! The Chief Jus tice and two associate Justices de fended the President’s assumed power to seize the Mills. A change steel plants; the Court u „ against the idea of Mr. Truman of tow men and all may be chang that the President- has inherent ed. nowers.

And Wha« strikes you in the eye is^en the .ssue comes before the Supreme Court on a great Consti tutional question the Chief Justice and two Associate Justices support the President, while six rule against him. The Judges don’t agree, and the lawyers don't agree,, so where is the citizen? Sunk without a trace, isn't-he?—In—a that we are not a nation governed by law; we are always at the mercy of somebody's mental slant of the moment.

North St. Tel. 24485 Greenville, S. C. Licensed by 1 C. State Beard of Health because I know they are serving a useful purpose and contributing to the upbuilding of the state. I al so know that it has been impossible for the private companies to do the financing and to build lines to serve many of the sparesly inhabit ed areas. But, on the other hand, I would tell you to absolutely ad here to the principle of building lines and serving the communities | that need you and not to engage in | the Ibuilding of any competitive i lines with the power companies. Likewise, I think the power com panies should follow the same principle and-or practice. I told you in the beginning that I was in the banking business. We are compelled to operate our busi ness under the laws enacted by Congress; and, in addition, we are compelled to subscribe to the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Treasury Depart- Board. There is a certain amount ment and the Federal Reserve of supervisory authority exercised over us by these government agen cies, and our business is examined twice annually and reports are made by the examiners to the fed eral authorities. We do not ob ject to it but on the other hand think jt is good for us and for the country to have this done. We think it makes for safer and more conservative banking and is for the best interest of not only our own institution but the public and the country as well. Anyone who operates his business properly has q6 real reason to object to reason able supervision, regulation and examination. I honestly believe it would be to the best interest of your association, ypur members and the country as a whole if the same thing were required of you. Private power companies are re quired to submit to supervision and regulation. Oqr Cooperative business is sound and efficient; why not have the same rules and regulations? Keep your great work a Soutn Carolina enterprise. Watch out for domination'by the Washington Bureaucracy. Be independent and self-reliant, and let all that you do be by South Carolina citizens for South Carolina citizens and for the ^happiness of our state.” Quality-Tender U. S.
