!• TUB CLBiTON CHB0N1CLB CtimUm, & C, Thunday, March 11, IMS By SPECTATOR . . . COlMUENTS ON MEN AND THINGS The following is a letter from L. R. Connor of Eutawville to the Editor of the News & Cour ier: “On January 14 you printed a UPI dispatch from Columbia which had some interesting things to say about Santee-Coop- er. There are several questions I would like answered. There is the statement that “The Public Service Authority, which operates the state-owned Santee-Cooper power facility at Moncks Corner agreed to pay a minimum of $725,000 to the gen eral fund, an increase of $500,- 000.” How has Santee-Cooper suddenly come into such money that it can pay this amount? Why has Santee-Cooper had to wait until the private power compan ies offered to buy Santee-Cooper to realize that it can pay this amount? Where has this additional $500,- 000 been going in the past? Why must Santee-Cooper agree to pay anything? Doesn’t this state- owned power facility belong to the taxpayers of this state? As a taxpayer I think that the State is not only entitled to every cent earned by Santee-Cooper, but that the general fund should de mand every cent. There is the statement that “Russell said the main reason the tax has not been levied be fore is because of a disagree ment between the private power companies and the coopera tives.” I know nothing about this disagreement, but common sense tells me that private pow er companies should have no ob jection to Santee-Cooper carry ing its part of the tax load. Why would the private power com panies object to Santee-Cooper paying a tax that they are FORCED to pay? This article is headlined with these words, “Proposals May Win Public Sympathy.” Why should these proposals win pub lic Sympathy? These proposals should win public disgust. The taxpayers of this state should be more interested in why this pay ment has not been made in the past. There were five years in Santee-Cooper’s history when it did not even pay the $225,000. I wonder where this $725,000 went those five years? Indeed, it would appear that there are some things in our state which need investigating much more than the South Caro lina Medical College.” Other Mens’ Opinions (From The Barnwell People-Sentinel): “Speculation has already be gun on the 1966 governor’s race and a number of candidates have been mentioned. Heading the list is of course, Lt. Gov. Robert E. McNair, of Allendale, who has done every thing but sign his entry pledge. He has already received the pub lic support of House Speaker Solomon Blatt and perhaps others. However, he’s running his race rather far ahead and may find it difficult to keep up steam. From down at Charleston come rumors that former governor Fritz HolUngs is thinking about making a re-entry into politics by seeking another term in Co lumbia. Doubtless he would make a formidable opponent for any candidate and would have to be given serious consideration for the office. And from Columbia there are reports that Mayor Lester L. Bates will make a third try at corralling the gubernatorial nomination. Since his last defeat in this race, he has gained con siderable political strength dur ing his tenure of office as mayor of the capital city and since there has not been a Columbia resident occupying the govern or’s chair in many years he should get much support in his home area. It’s a bit early to make predic tions, but it looks like the 1966 race just may be a real hum dinger.” And now I quote Raymond Mo- ley (Newsweek) on “Johnson and Roosevelt.” “Lyndon B. Johnson more than once suggested that Franklin D. Roosevelt is his model of states- manship. Hence, at the begin ning of his first elective term comparisons and contrasts are invited. I shall not dwell upon AUDITOR'S NOTICE Wo win ha gM la the personal characteristics of the two Presidents. It is more immediately important to con. sider a comparison between their legislative programs and their methods of impressing them up on Congress. To do so, I must dispel a great myth about the Hundred Days’ Congress in 1983. According to popular belief, everything came from the White House and was promptly rubber-stamped by a servile majority in Congress That is not true. To prove my point, I cite the eight most important measures enacted in the 100 days that be gan on March 9 and ended on June 16. The first two measures did come from the White House. One, the Emergency Banking Act, was sent on March 9 and passed that day. The famous economy bill went to the Cap itol on March 10 and was signed on March 10. The speed with which these were passed no doubt created the myth. The other six measures were either created somewhere other than the White House or were forced by what was already in motion in Congress. The TV A Act was, as Roose velt put it “the baby of Sen. George Norris.” The Glass banking bill had been in process even before Roosevelt was inau gurated. The guarantee of bank deposits was inserted because of the indefatigable pressure of Jesse Jones of the RFC and Vice President Gainer and against the opposition of Roosevelt and Glass. The famous Thomas amend ment, which spelled the end of the gold standard, was accepted by Roosevelt in order to avoid the passage of an earlier and more radically dangerous ver sion. The agricultural act was work ed out between the Agriculture Department and Sen. John Bank, head and Rep. Marvin Jones, chairman of the two committees on agriculture. The National Industrial Re covery Act (NRA) was written in order to block 'a 30-hour bill sponsored by Sen. Hugh Black. Again, it was a Joint product — of Gen. Hugh Johnson and Sen. Robert Wagner, witliiui assist from AFL president William Green. The securities bill had a strange history. Another, un satisfactory bill passed the Sen ate, but Sam Rayburn, then chairman of the House Interstate Commerce Committee, employ ed two men recommended by Professor Frankfurter of Har vard. A new bill was written in Rayburn’s committee and sub stituted for the Senate bil in con ference. This is not to say that Roose velt did not approve of these measures. Most were outlined in his 1932 campaign. But he was skillful in acting as a catalyst to elicit action in Congress and elsewhere in the actual formula tion of measures. In most cases he did send messages to Con gress on those measures. But the messages were short, and his cooperation with Democratic Congressional leaders was per fection itself. Except for the farm bill ^ the executive depart ments had little to do with the writing of the legislation. And Roosevelt well realized that as an immensely popular President he would receive most of the credit and the fpme. On the other hand, President Johnson is ssnding great omni bus messages frith many pro grams worked up in the Admin istration. Congress is thus fac ed with the take-it-orJeave-it alternative. Most of the propos als are either extensions of old programs or offshoots there from. And they are vastly more expensive thany anything pro posed by Roosevelt. There is another contract. In Roosevelt’s first years the Democratic leadership in Con gress was infinitly more able and ingenious than it is now. And economic conditions then were worlds away from those that prevail now. In 1933 the Democrats had 310 In the House and 60 in the Senate. Now there are 294 Dem ocrats in the House and 68 in the Senate. There were 117 Republicans in the House then and 35 in the Senate. Now there are 141 Republicans in the House and 32 in the Senate. Time will tell what the ver 1 diet of history will be. • » • Grateful for farm-state. elec tion victories, Johnson admin istration policy-makers are pro posing a broad attack on the rural economy’s stubborn pros perity lag The idea is to uplift the fal tering fortunes not only of many of the 31 million people directly involved in farming, but also of some 45 million others living in the countryside, in rural hamlets and small towns. For the less fortunate among these millions, officials hope to open up new sources of income, opportunities for better housing, and wider access to education and health assistance. While the help would be avail able to all rural areas, impov erished parts of the Southeast might naturally qualify for larg- er-than-averge aid. We must shift the emphasis toward greater investment in people, proclaims Agriculture Under Secretary Murphy, chair man of a Great Society agricul ture task force whose ideas are now being screened by Presi dent Johnson for ^political and eccnomic acceptability.
