CHRISTMAS PAGEANT „ The Hopewell Methodist Youth Fellowship will present a Christ mas pageant Sunday evening at 7 o’clock. The public is cordially invited to attend. a figurd in a 30-year fontract ne gotiated by Oscar Chapman, Tru- rhan’s Secretary of the Interior. Seaton had to obtain legal ad vice before deciding to bring suit. In other wor^ls. if there was any favoritism in fixing corpora- ate charges, as the public power bloc -itates,—it - was"'extended by" their own New' Deal administra tors, not an Eisenhower effort to gouge the little man’ for • the benefit of the ^special interests.’ But now that Seaton plans to try to break the Chapman-Rev- nolds contract and raise the com pany’s rates, the liberals main tain that he is engaging in ‘po litical reprisal.’ They blame him now after criticizing him for fail ing to include Reynolds in his earlier demand for li general in crease. The Reynolds people, according to this accusation, are being ‘pun ished” because they contributed $41,520 to Democratic candidates in the recent election, while! giv ing nothing to the Republicans. By contrast, the Mellons gave $99,150 to the GOP, and not a cept to the Democrats. "The Mellons’, said a recent ar ticle in ‘Labor,’ the railroad un ions' Now[ Dealish newspaper,’ have always had a. huge, advan-. tage in fantastically cheap powe from the Niagara ricer. No one can rornfa te with them in the aluminum industry without cheap power Sl aton’s move to raise the rates by Reynolds obviously would handicap Reynolds and help the Mellons. Is it any won der that some observers ask whether a Republican adminis tration is using Seaton to punish a big giver to the Democrats, and to reward a still biggei giver to Republicans?’ The plain fact is that Presiden’ Eisenhower feels the rates fixed by th e Truman-Ickes-Chnpman public power group are so low as to be ‘unrealistic and uneco nomic’ They were kept cheap, in -his opinion, for political reas- a means of making goodwijl ons, not only in the Southwesf. hut also in Other area It wa the expense of the taxpayers In fact,.

Under our form of government we have prospered. It is not straining the point to the legal condition that made us say that we are departing from the foremost nation of all the world and of all time. Just how the Congress enacts laws that conflict with the re served rights of the States and the Commissions exercise powers that are an invasion of the rights of the States and the Supreme Court of the United States is making law by embodying the ories and sociological nonsense into decisions, this depriving us of knowing what is the law, since the vagaries of the judges may validly upset all legal precedents. What we need is a stern, clear, irrefutabte and irrevocable re affirmation of the scope of the National Government with a sweeping invalidation of all en croachments on the State's. If all Southern Representatives and Senators in Congress would stoutly contend and unremitting: lumination Mr. Thornhill can make you see that big dams are not only uneconomical, but a very grave potential menace; whereas, the best use of water would suggest small reservations,' small dams, many small dams, rather than one mammoth dam. I have an interest in farming, but I have never asked to be fa vored with cheap or cheaper rates or prices because of my tie-up with agriculture I no more believe in Govern ment power or Government prfe- ( rentes than I advocate Govern ment production -of- cotton and com. If, for any reasin what soever, the Government produc- t s power, or contributes to the production of power, the price for that power should cover all the costs of production and tribution, including wear tear, as well as other deprecia tion, obsolescence and also all taxes chargeable against any i concern doing that sort of busi ness. Here is something on the gen eral subject; I take from The Eve- 1 ning Post, of Charleston: "Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton’s attempt to raise the rates of power sold to the Rey nolds Metals Company by a pub lic agency in the Southwest ha ?r all !; I dis-J' ly contend for a resurgence of placed federal power advocates loyalty to the principles of our Constitution we coilld produce results. .

And we would be worth more than Europe, AsiEL, Africa and South America com bined. • * * What about the small farm- i er? Well, what about him’’ How j can he live on a few acres of cot- , ton and one acre of tobacco? You might retaliate by saying that if every farmer should produce as he ple’ases there would be no liv- | ing since the prices would be negligible. And that is true. So what, now If all Southern farmers produce Jjeef and pork what will become of Western farmers? And if Cali fornia farmerf produce three bales of cotton to the acre on un limited acreage where will the Carolina farmer ‘‘come in”? A few years ago our Govern ment showed us how to produce more per acre and now we must produce less per acre or .drastical ly reduce the acres planted. It is a sad story. Of course our Government lends and gives money all over wheat-from Us. Where aiid when coal and oil and and <?otton and the world so that people may buy will all this end?

I dnetial campaign They charged him with favoring the ^special interests,’ and asked why he did not boost charges to the Reynolds firm. With Henry J Kaiser's alumi num holdings, the Virginia com pany was aided in its metals ex pansion by FDR. in order to in crease competition with the' Mel lon family, which contributed a cabinet member to the Harding- Coolidge-Hoover administration. Although Seaton advanced no explanation at the time he had to delay action against Reynold because its rates had been fix ed at what he regards as too low $ CARD OF THANKS The principal and faculty of Bell Street Elementary school wish to express their apprecia tion for the courtesy extended by Burriss Harrison Furniture com pany in permitting the use of their furniture as stage proper ties during the rendition of the Christtpas program on Tuesday evening, December 18 THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY - DEC. 20 THRU DEC. 22 - AT Burriss - Harrison Co.
