SENATOR GOLDWATER
TALKS SENSE
Many politicians threw brick-
l>ats at Senator Robert Taft dur
ing his political career. But when
the voting was held in Congress
to select the outstanding Senators
of the last 50 years for the Con
gressional Hall of Fame, Robert
Taft was a top choice. His car
eer was characterized by intelli
gence, integrity, courage, and
love of country. Frequently he
took unpopular stands on issues.
Sometimes he stood almost alone,
breasting the current of the
stream. But now his colleagues in
Congress and perhaps most of
the American people recognize
him as one of our great leaders.
It takes integrity and courage
jfor leadership. These qualities are
"being manifested today by anoth
er United States Senator, Barry
Goldwater of Arizona. He has
published a book, The Conscience
of a Conservative, (Victor Pub-
Ishing Co., Sheperdsville, Ky.).
It stamps him as a national lead
er. Critics of this book can find
fault only with Senator Goldwa-
ter’s philosophy; they cannot
challenge his intelligence, his in
tegrity, his courage, or his love
of country. And his philosophy is
bedrock American.
Fundamental Truths
Senator Barry Goldwater is, in
a sense, a fundamentalist—in pol
itics, economics, government, for
eign affairs, in all things. He be
lieves black is black, and not gray.
He believes the Constitution of
the United States is the bedrock
anchorage of our free society. He
believes - that mankind is not ad
mirable unless self-reliant. He be
lieves there can be no genuine
strength in a Welfare State. He
believes that Government* is dan
gerous—now and eternally.
He is old-fashioned, antf yet he
is a true political liberal in that
he is for maintaining a society
in which the citizen has fullest
individual freedom and the gov
ernment’s primary and paramount
role is the protection of that free
dom. This is the liberal concept
upon which our founding fathers
built the United States of Amer
ica.
Not Fashionable
Senator Goldwater’s ideas are
in clash with the predominant pol
itical pronouncements coming from
public officials in our state capi
tals—and on the campaign trails.
Politically he is standing almost
alone. But he sincerely believes
that most of the people of Amer
ica, if given a clear choice be
tween the Welfare State and free
dom, would choose freedom even
if it meant a temporary reduction
in their economic well-being
knowing well it would mean a
big, long-range increase in their
economic well-being.
One by one the Goldwater book
takes up the grave, troublesome
issues confronting our people and
their government. To each pro
blem he applies horse-sense logic.
Government ^payments in a farm
program which has; stimulated
production ; vast surpluses of
unneeded and unmarketable food
stuff r^im pi J|yyo nbt make sense.
What to do ^Terminate the farm
subsidy program—now. On the
States’ Rights issue, he simply
states an uncontestable truth;
The Constitution sets forth the
concept of States’ Rights. The Su
preme Court is illegally destroy
ing the concept.
Monoj>' lies Are Destructive
As regards labor unions, he de
clares they are^ju^.expression of
American freedom and as such
are wholesome and beneficial. Un
der present laws, however, some
unions have created labor mono-
plies which are being used, he
said, in a destructive manner to
our Americtm way of life. On
taxes and ^pending he faces the

enable the Highway Department to
process insurance certificates by
machine—that is, punch and sort
certificates by company name, and
forward copies, in large batches,
to the respective companies for
confirmation. If an error is made
in the company name, the copy of
the certificate will go to ' the
wrong address. This means that
the vehicle owner will not have
given proper proof of insurance,
and the Highway Department will
be required to pick up his vehicle
and driver licenses.
Highway Department officials
said somq. local insurance agents
themselves do not seem to be fully
aware of the importance of their
clients giving full and correct
names on insurance certificates.
Some agents have expressed their
displeasure, when clerks turned
down license applications because
of such errors. However, on the
whole insurance agencies have
been of great assistance in the
program, many of them actually
giving assistance to their policy
uates, regardless of major study,
and to persons who have had
equivalent experience. Starting
salaries will be either $4,345 or
$5,355 a year depending on the
qualifications of the candidate.
Management Internships will also
be filled from this examination
with starting salaries of $5,355 and
$6,435 a year.
The first written test will be
held on October 15 for those who
apply by September 29. Five ad
ditional tests have been scheduled
for this school year. Dates are No
vember 19, 1960, January 14, Feb

1961.
Acceptance of applications for
Management Internships will be
closed on January 26, 1961. For
all other positions, the closing
date is April 27, 1961.

Forms Must Be
Correct, Says HD
The name of the insurance com
pany listed* on the Liability Insur
ance Certificate which each motor
ist files with his application for
license plates must be both “com
plete and correct,” the State
Highway Department said today.
Incomplete company names and
wrong policy numbers are the two
most frequent errors found on in
surance certificate forms filed
with vehicle license applications.
There are over 400 insurance
companies licensed to sell vehicle
liability insurance in South Caro
lina. Many of them have very
similar names.* For example, there
are 30 companies with names
starting with “American”. There
are four which start with “Atlan
tic” and five which start with “Fi
delity.” These are only examples,
showing why it is essential that
the “entire, correct” name of the
company be listed, and the “pol
icy number” accurately recorded.
Abbreviations of company names
should not be used, officials add
ed.
Each insurance company has

In South Carolina, car own
ers pay $1.10 tax on every 10
gallons of gasoline they buy.
- Does a tax this high—on a
basic commodity like gasoline
—really make sense? Gasoline
taxes in this state amount to
a 50% sa/es rax—and that’s
over five times as high as the
tax rate, on luxuries like dia-
S e>
Howi did gaeoline tax* get
so high?,Well, since World
War II, there have been three
increases in th& federal gaso
line tax alone. This brought the
Federal tax to 4..vents a gnUon, in addition to the State
tax of 7 cents a^ajjpn. y ^
Looking-at it another way, in the last ten years gaso
line taxes have skyrocketed 51%—yet the price of gaso
line itself has risen only 5.5% during the same period.
$89 a year for gasoline taxes! Gallon by gallon,
these taxes add up to a lot of money. Each year the
average motor vehicle owner in this state pays $89 for
gasoline taxes alone. That’s just a few dollars less than
the average week’s pay for most people I
Your gasoline'‘retailer—who must collect these taxes
from you—feels that gasoline'taxes are much too high.
More and more, thinking people are coming to agree.

HIGHWAYS AND GASOLINE TAXES
Your gatfollne retailer, naturally, favors construction of
the roads that the motoring public needs. He believes
in fair and reasonable taxation for this purpose but
feels that taxes on gasoline have mow reached unreason
ably high levels. He also believes that all special taxes
on the motorist should be used only for highway pur
poses. Yet, in this state, a significant part of highway-
user taxes are diverted ’away from highway uses. In
addition, last year, out of every automobile tax dollar
collected by the Federal Government from highway
users, more than 40 cents went for non-highway pur
poses. If these automotive tax revenues were dedicated
for highway purposes, there would be no need for the
latest increase in the federal gasoline tax.
