In other words, the jH>o|»ie of 4 ill the states will help pay for an Oregon-Washington bridge and no doubt the people of Oregon and Washington, along with those of 18 other states, will l»e asked to pay for bridges in other areas. It is an old political game to offer the peo ple “something for nothing,” but the result s always the same—by the time the people are taxed via the Washington, D. C„ route they have put up more money than if they had paid their own bills in the first place. The principal beneficiaries of this give away process are the officials who secure votes and power by giving aw;ay somebody else s money. As a citizen, don’t kick atmut taxes if you endorse this process.

The cold war is not going to end overnight. Mr. Khrushchev is not going to suddenly wave the flag for capitalism, and Mr. Eisen hower is n« t going to embrace communism.

It was one thing to di rectly or indirectly subsidize the co-ops in order to get them going. It is a very different thing to do that now, when the co-ops are g established, and should be not only able but g willing to operate on a business basis. g Let the co-ops pay the going rate for bor- g rowed money. * - ■ Dr. Felder Smith OPTOMETRIST Phone 794 Laurens, S.

Sept. 24—In recent months there has been much concern in business circles, be cause our exports have not yet recovered from the sharp setback it suffered in 1958. For the present 1 am much disturbed, although over the longer term we should succeed in again building up our commerce with other nations. At any rate, one reason for my present trip abroad is to secure an.-wers to these im portant questions. I am landing in Sweden this week IMPORTS ARE INCREASING For a good many yean, our exports have exceed ed our imports by a fairly wide margin Now it is es timated that our shipments of merchandise to foreign markets may top imports by only one billion dollars. La'* year. U S mports had a total value close to $13 billions Thu year our imports are expected to reach SIS billion' Thu is unfortunate for American labor This upturn in imports, however, should not necessarily frighten ns It la a natural outgrowth of our trade policies for the past twenty-five year.
