(f' u r c e 11 "Your Private Bankers’* 1418 Main St. Newberry THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY MAY 16, 1957 Several times since January, I have mentioned the subject of economy in government -- espec ially with reference to cutting the budget proposals for 1958. Now I want to discuss the budget and the financial situation of the United States with you in greater detail. PRESIDENTS BUDGET TOTALS $71.8 BILLION The President has proposed ex penditures of $71.8 billion for the year beginning July 1. Of that a- mount approximately $45.3 bill ion is allocated for national se curity purposes. Of course it is essential that we maintain a strong defense force because the Soviet Union forces us to do so by its own excessive armament program. Nevertheless, I believe that every effort should be made to reduce spending where possible in the defense establish ment, but not to the detriment of national security. But the cost of national security is not the only reason our budget is so high. Another reason is that too many people in the Congress and too many people in the Ex ecutive Departments want to spend when we should be saving. PUBLIC DEBT MULTIPLIE 17 TIMES IN 25 YEARS In 1932 the public debt of the Federal Government totaled $16 billion. Now it has risen to the astronomical sum of $275 billion. What that means is simply this: That the entire national debt in curred from the founding of the republic until 1932 — a period of 145 years — has multiplied 17 times in the past 25 years. In the process of incurring this tremen dous national debt, we have ob ligated ourselves to pay an almost unbelievable amount of interest. TENTH OF BUDGET IS INTEREST ON DEBT More than one-tenth of the en tire budget, as proposed by the President, consists of funds to pay the interest on the debt. It will take $7.4 billion to meet this obligation. That is part of the cost of having borrowed and bor rowed , in years past. Ten cents out of every dollar spent next year by the Federal Government will go toward paying off the debt itself—reduction of the prin cipal. If we started reducing the nat ional debt by paying $5 billion per year for that purpose, it would take 55 years to pay off our pre sent obligations, even if we did not have some national emergency which required some additional borrowing. Actually, however, the prospects are that there will be only a small margin between the cost of the proposed budget for next year and the revenue from taxes to pay those cost. CERTAIN PAYMENTS ESTAB LISHED UNDER LAW Where the law requires certain payments for social security, for veterans, for retirement benefits, etc., we cannot cut without uoing back on the promises made by the enactment of the laws which es tablished those programs. But where American dollars are being sent overseas to raise the economic level of foreign nations, we can cut appropriations and we must do so. Also, we must start practicing greater economy in the operation of the Federal Government and its various departments. MUST CUT BUDGET AND NATIONAL DEBT I advocate cutting the budget now so we can make a start on re duction of the national debt and then try to reduce taxes. I do not see how taxes can be cut until we face up to the problem and cut spending, both overseas and at home. But -evidently the voice of the people has been heard by some of my “borrowing and spending” colleagues because the Senate has voted to cut the appropriations re quested by the first four depart ments whose bills have come before us. These were appropriations for the Post Office, Treasury, Justice and State departments. VOTED FOR ALL REDUCTIONS I voted for reductions in each instance. I respect the views of the President, but I cannot agree with him that all the expenditures he advocated for the J958 budget are necessary. One of his requests was for increased appropriations to the United States Information Service. The Senate, by a roll-call vote of 61 to 15, cut the request for the information service by $14.9 million. The fact that this reduct ion was approved by such a great majority indicates to me that the largest peace-time budget in the history of the nation is going to be trimmed down considerably before nally approved. I am happy to note that some of the former spenders are be ginning to listen to the people who have been crying for relief from wasteful federal spending. Sincerely, Strom Thurmond PROSPERITY NEWS Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Dawkins are receiving congratulations on the birth of a son, at Mills Clinic, on May 18.

C. 24 HOUR SERVICE 4-H GROWS The 4-H clubs irf this country have grown into the greatest rural youth educational movement on earth. Many countries of the world have sent their representatives here to study it and then go back and start similar organizations. We had a prominent agricultural official from Greece with us a month recently. One of his special interests was to learn all he could about conducting effective 4-H club work. Here in South Carolina, our en rollment in 4-H has been increas ing ‘about one thousand a year. Last year we had 56,630 enrolled. Of these, 31,004* were white and 26,626 colored. Of the whites, 14, 615 were boys and 16,389 girls. The colored group contained 11, 116 boys and 14,510 girls. Annual 4-H summer camps start in early June. For the youngsters, this is always a highlight of the year. Those with their demon strations underway and records up to date are eligible to go to camp. WATCH THE GARDEN NOW Back in the early spring most of us got all interested in gard ening. And we planted one, us ually too big a one. Now the days are getting warmer and the gar den fevex is liable to wear off. If that happens, grass will take the garden quick. And instead of having an abundance of tender vegetables ahead, you’re liable to have snaky place from which you’ll get little but a *hay crop. So let’s keep the garden clean of weeds and grass now. Then, too, it’s time for insects to be showing up. Watch for them and apply remedies before they have hurt things. We have very effective remedies ' for most of them if applied in time. Your county agent has gardening bulle tins that will be helpful to any one who might have become rus ty on his gardening. OFF FARM WORK A rather large percentage of our farmers, or some member of their families living at home, now have off-the-farm work. Our large new industries over the state are manned mostly by farm labor that commutes to the mill. According to the 1954 census, even one out of every four farm housewives in this country has off-the-farm work of some sort. That leaves less time for the garden, flowers, chickens, can ning, and other household duties. But it helps a lot with the fam ily budget, and seems to be the modern tendency. A mill used to have its congest ed village there by it. But now, with good roads and^fast trans portation, mill villages are no longer necessary. Folks can live out in the wholesome country,* farm, and also have some of that rather steady income industry furnishes. SPRAYING FOR WEEDS Killing weeds with chemicals is a growing practice. For some years now it has been widely practiced in grain. And it is now being practiced some in row crops. County Agent Rogers of Allen dale tells me farmers there thus sprayed 10,000 acres of grain the past spring, and, in Calhoun County Cain tells me they spray ed 35,000 acres of grain. And oth er agents tell of widespread spraying of grain too. This has practically eliminated wild must ard and thistle from the grain fields. These weeds used to ruin large areas. CUSS SSIFIEOB.
