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 * Jl $ the Federal -jmere 80 billion— ’ quoted by most ally about 95 ses the gradual ,the federal gov- al welfare pro- pubhc power, housing, ur- other such the subject Education, he Constitution problem of fin- the local gov- fact sq budget as advertise politicians^ billion.

His book should be widely read. His is the voice of an American with the qualifica tions of national leadership.

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.

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 been assigned a code number to CSC Exams Are Announced The United States Civil Service Commission has announced that applications are now being accept ed for the 1961 Federal Service Entrance Examination—the ex amination through which young people of college caliber may be gin a career in the Federal Civil Service in one of some 60 differ ent occupational fields.

Time for the Camporee has been announced previously for October 7 and 8, but it has ben changed to coincide with the State Fair; Harrelson explained. This year will be the first time a Boy Scout Camporee has been held in connection with the State Fair. F. B.

Visitors to the annual Fair are invited to tour the encampment and see the boys living in tents and cooking HALTIWANGER Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hugh Hal- ? tiwanger of Rt. 2, Chapiu an- S nounce the birth of a seven pound, 11 ounce daughter, Karen Louise, on - Septe mber 10th. at: the hospital.

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. Whwt do yorrthink?'' ~ . Mii i—n >1 ■ mi I * It U r^i i I - - . *: v - Gasoline taxes tip 51% - in ten years 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.
