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.
