WASHINGTON AND
SMALL BUSINESS”
By C WILSON HARDER
^OOOOOOOOOOI
Commeiks On Thf President’s
State Of The Union Address
I think that President Eisenhow
er's message ;|hows that he has
taken due note of two of the
most important problems .with
which we are faced at this session
of Congress—the continued neces-^j
sity for a" strong defense establish
ment and the vital need for farm
legislation. I am giving seriou ; ;«j
study to his and all other propos
als for improving the welfare of
our fanners As he stated, 'There
is no single easy solution.” The!
congress must make every effort |
possible to solve the problems of!
surpluses, declining farm pfices,!
rising costs, and to expand domes- ‘
tic and declining markets for
farm commodities. Whatever pro
posals are made and whatever j
legislation is enacted. I believe
taht my | resolution should be
enacted a establish a non-phrtisan
commission composed primarily of
farmers to study the many farm
problems and to* make recommen
dations to the next Congress.
Policy .Against Communism
The President has demonstrat
ed by his message that he is a
realist in dealing with the Commu
nists. His statement that our poli
cy must be “designed primarily to
forward the achievement of our
own objectives rather than to
meet each shift and change on the
Communist front" is reassuring.
Balanced Bodge* Proposed
The President stated that he
expected the budget to be in bal
ance for the fiscal year ending)
June 30, 1&56, and that he would
propose a-balanced budget for the
year ending June 30, 1957. He
said that "a tax cut can be
deem justifiable only when' it will
not unbalance the budget,” and
that such a budget should make
some provision for a reduction iu
our national debt. I shall be hap
py to see the budget balanced and
I hope that Some reduction can be
made in the national debt:- I also
hope that unnecessary spending
overseas and a greater exercise of
economy in government at home
can be effected and result in some
reduction of taxes
^ i Civil Rights Commission
I regret that the President has
been persuaded to recommend the
establishment of a commission to
interfere in matters reserved by
the Constitution to tl^e control of
the individual states. In his mes
sage he referred to allegations
that Negro citizens are being “de
prived of fheir right to vote” and
subjected to “unwarranted eco
nomic. pressures.”
I have read in the newspapers
of some instances where Negroes
have attempted to exert economic
pressure to obtain their objectives.
However, the federal government
has -no rfeht to try to force those
Negroes to ride the* buses or to
stay off them, to trade in certain
stores or not to trade in them. Nor
does the federal government, have
the right to interfere in any simi
lar instance that might involve
white persons instead of Negroes.
Both White and Negro citizens are
subject to the police powers re-
servjed to the states. The propos-

It may seem a far cry from
Issue of Alaskan statehood to

tie.

As is well known by this time,

so that prices
are now about
five times pre

It Is to be

A spot Investigation by Joatice

Still unanswered, however, is
$64 ,000 question as to why ,U. S.,
where cornerstone of nation rests
on free press, has ever permitted
situation to exist whereby the
basic supply for a free presets

are millions of acre* of virgin

Canada’s newsprint industry.
* * *
Bat governed as a territory
under the Organic Act of 1676,
citisens of Alaska have little. If
any, control over natural re
sources of the land they live In.
* * * • *
Rather, control of these re
sources are based on edicts out
of Washington from Interior
Dept. And as is well known,
bureaucratic edicts can change
with changes of the moon.

Obviously, development of n
newsprint Industry requires
great outlays of capital for n
long term. Undoubtedly, there is
substantial American capital
ready to go ahead, but there first
most be u feeling of security,
e * o
However, us u territory, Ob
ject to changing bureaucratic
whims, investment of substan
tial long term cdpitq} In Alaska
to develop natural resources is
almost as uncertain as doing the
same thing in Mexico.
• * •
This, of coarse, would change
if Alaska were given statehood.
Use of country's resources would
then be divorced from bureau
cratic decree.
ooo
And it appears obvious that to
develop, Alaska needs new indus
try as badly us free press of
nation needs adequate domestic
newsprint supply.
With unfavorable ratio be-

R*ven Alaska, It appears future
of free press in America depends
on policies of foreign newsprint
monopoly.

Federal Air To Schools
' I regret] that the President saw
fit again ' to recommend federal
aid for school construction, al
though he stated that federal aid
“should in no way jeopardize the
freedom of local school systems.”
On January 5 the newspapers car
ried a significant statement by a
Democratic Negro Confressman
from New York who aljso advo
cates federal aid to sdiools. He
staged that if the Federal Aid
School bill was brought up in
the House, there would be suffi
cient names to attach an anti
segregation rider, preventing the
allocation of funds to any school,
practicing segregation. We must
recognize that control goes with
the purse strings.
South Carolina has met its ob
ligation in providing an equal edu
cation opportunity in- her public
schools regardless of race. The peo
ple of South Carolina themselves
paid for the equalization program.
No other stale has exerted as-great
an effort on behalf of its schools
as South Carolina has in propor
tion to average personal income.
Most states are richer than South
Carolina. They can and should
build the schools they need with
out federal aid, as our state did. ,
Biljs Introduced
During the |irst week of Con
gress I introduced several bills and
proposed an important farm Reso
lution to be introduced this week.
One bill would ban the service or
consumption of alcoholic bever
ages aboard our commercial and
service airliners in the interest of
public safety. Another bill, would
deny tax-exempt status under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954 to
any organization which engages
in the promotion of lawsuits to
which it is not a party. This would
promote fairness to other taxpay
ers not enjoying this privilege.
My farm resolution would auth
orize establishment of a non-par
tisan commission of farmers’- and
others to study our farm problems
and make legislative recommen
dations to remedy them. The
of politics and" would give pur
commission would be virtually free
farmers a strong voice in deter
mining our nation’s farm policies.

shots came from the comer gave
Stetson leads 1 of 16-9 and 33-25
but Presbyterian came back both
times under the guidance of Dave
Thompson and tied the score.
Stetson led through the second
half but never by a safe, margin.
