Not. 10.—Not- ,ltb8tandlng the reeulta of Tuesday, I gow make some predictiona as to ,bat will happen at Washington dur- ifg the nhxt four years.

Mosf. ‘‘nuisance” taxes gill be eliminated.. Corporation taxes gill later be put back nearlg, to pre- gtr figures. Personal Income taxes jlonld be reduced, but^hese wBl be [be last to be lo!wered. There will be no attempt to balance be budget. This is something to aim tor, but It will be done slowly. Too tdical cuts could Atuse deflation rbich, at this time, would be woCi ban inflation.. The United States rlU, however, diiigratly work for s letter financial setup for which we J1 should be thankful. Great Britain, Russia and the Unit- id States will combine and hold the leace so long as they remain friends^ China may or may not be admitted 0 the Inner eqpnsebO. How long hese three great nations will remain rlends, is anybody’s guess. Other na- lons will be ^mittdd to some sort if a World Organization, but they will lOt have much to say. Congress will pass legislation so hat our navy and air force can act. 1 emergencies, without the formal eclaration of war. But this is a eeble step toward permanent peace. Ills can' be secured only as all na* ions are willing to give up certain Igbts as to tariffs, immigration re- trlctlons, natural resonrce iponopo- «8, etc. I see no sign that the in- Dining Administration at Washing, m win do this.

Whitaker has been kill ed in action overseas, acceding to in formation Teoeive^ by relatives in this city. No details are available at this time. The young man. recently married to a California girl, was the son of the late Andrew G. Whitaker, Sr., and Mae DeKay Whitaker. Besides his wife he leaves three brothers, John, Chesnut and Harry Whitaker, and one sister. Miss Malsle Whitaker, of Wash ington, D. C. ^ The deceased was in the army for three years before Peart Harbor and Ms" served' since thM with distinction and honor. He has' been on overseas duty since early this year. He has been mliuing snioe June and now the war deparimMit has announc- ed his death in action at that time. New Arrangement For Waste Paper Sonoco Company Unable To Continue Collection Here. The collectid'n of waste paper from Camden, heretofore made by trucks from the SonocO Products company of''HartsvUle, has been discontinued and Camden waste paper in the fu ture will be collected by a truck from Columbia, it is sUted. The Sonoco company states that in terminating the waste paper collection the company was faced with the prob- leme of keeping trucks operating in the face of tire shortage, gas shortage and shortage of mechanics and repair parts. Under the arrangements with _lhe Bohoco people, iffie city was obliged to bale all the waste paper. Under ifhe new arrangement this process is pot required. Red Cross Notes Lovely Jean Evans on her favorite with Bailey Bros, three ring circus at and 8 p. m. Masterdon “Rajah,” appearing today Fairgrounds, Camden, at S:15 matinee had their honeymoons. Both will get less consideration during the next four years. We may, therefore, expect loweft farm prices and only a few, if any. Wage raises. Certainly the^tdial idcome of both' groups will be much less. The hourly rate for wages may not be cut, but “overtime” will be out the window. We will go 4>ack to the 40- Jionr Week. I strongly advise both farmers aid wage workers to begin immediately to “save up money for a rainy day." It surely is coming. Moreover, this would still be true if the elhctlon had gone the other way. Both candidates at heaA believed in “free enterprise” so long as it will keep people employed. When, how ever, it does not prevent unemploy ment the voters surely will demand that something be done. This ‘‘some thing” will be quack remedies con trary to the spirit of free enterprise. Certainly, much will be done for the returning soldiers, sailors and airmen. Some of this aid will be un economic and wasteful, but Washing ton will be driven to it Such action will help along the inevitable infla tion and some day cause us a lot of trouble. This, however, should not come until around 1950. In short, conditions make presidents, rather than do presidents make eoih ditione. The masses of the entire world are pn the march. Neither Roosevelt nor Dewey nor an undecld. ed election can stop them. It is a mistake to try to block them as did Avery of Montgomery.Ward, it is A mistake to cheer them as have many politicians during the past . two wls months. The Wise man will attend to his own business, keep out of debt, educate his children to be useful and wait for these masses to learn their lesson through experience. As to the effect of the elections on the markets, I expect no more changes than have Already occurred. I am bearish on municipals and other high grade bonds, but am still bullish on most well-selected stocks. I do. how. ever, not like tbe rails, aircrafts or shipping stocks for the next four years. Sadie Kr voaTresekow On Nov. 8, Col. von Treeckow, chair man* of the Camp and Hospital conn, cll of Kershaw county, held a meeting .at -Red XJroea- headquafters-to present to the patriotic and church organiza tions of Camden, plans for the Christ- mas celebration for tbe bospitalized service men at Fort Jackson, Shaw Field, Columbia Air Base and the Veterans hospital.
