Rut the Administration can find no place to cut the budget' and in-e in THEY’RE L PS El The electric cooperatives of S (\ have become extremely agitat ed since the private power com panics offered to buy out ail co ops in the state, run them on a more efficient level and pay taxes in addition- We can only assume that anonymous propaganda be ing sent out pretending to reveal that electric consumers are being overcharged, is being sent out by the co-ops, since tht? private power companies don’t operate in that fashion- The co-ops claim the private power companies want to do away with all competition. Nothing could be further from the truth; they merely and understandably want to do away with unfair competi tion. While the private power com panies pay millions of dollars a year in local, state and federal taxes, the co-ops pay practically nothing; yet the private power companies say they not only can, but will, if allowed to buy out the co-ops, furnish electricity at the same or lower cost, retain all em ployees and boards of the co-ops, and at the same time pay t h e same taxes now being charged tin* private companies, but not now j being paid by the co-ops. Here is another example of ex treme government waste—making the local and state, as well as the Federal government, the loser in loss of taxes. Suppose someone offered to loan you money at 2 per cent interest —and then someone else offered to borrow' it and pay you 4 per cent or better? You’ll probably say that just doesn’t make sense, and that it is next to impossible. And so it is, except in exceedingly rare inst ances. But numbers of Rural Electri fication Administration Coopera tives are doing just that. Under the law,which was passed long ago when the surrounding circum stances w r ere entirely different, the co-ops can borrow' money from the government at 2 per et. These funds, until they are spent on construction, can be and often are re-invested in various ways that pay at least twice that rate of interest. Who pays the difference? The general taxpayers—that’s us—do; for the two per cent rate given the co-ops is about half the rate the government pays on its own borrowings. This amounts to a direct subsidy, and a big one. Then —to add insult to injury—co-op income is exempt from federal in come tax. There’s growing sentiment—in Congress as well as out—in favor Of correcting this grossly inequit able situation. So the next ques tion is: when will it happen? It would be interesting to see if the co-ops could continue to op erate at the same price to con sumers if they were required to operate in the same manner as private business. South Carolina opponents they are out to make it th a row. In their ir>t game < season, the Bears downed ford lb-6, and last week they ed Presbyterian 7-0. In pre-season speculation, < Haniy Painter expected Ids ..field to give him more trouble _ I than any other position on the team. But he seems to have found the solution to losing two Little All-Americans in freshmen tail- hack Craig Wardlaw. This 6 ft., 165 pound freshman from Char lotte has figured decisively in all of Lenoir Rhyne’s points so far this season. He has scored all the touchdowns, and passed for sever al extra points. But Coach Harvey Kirkland be lieves that he has the Ijnc that can stop Ward’aw and company. : Gates Will Swing Open Monday For 1963 Newberry-Saluda Fair Mrs. Henderson Head Crippled Children Soc. f the Ever ■yt hi ng is oh; ip; ng up for Wof- ;t “hes t ov or Xewbort 'V - Saluda odg- county Fai r. which b eg ins Monday at the A nu mican Ft ■gini n fair- o a c h grounc !s it i Xowber ry , ;u wording bark- to Fr; ink St ttton, n lit! lagt 1 r. “‘Weather cooperating, we ex pect the best midway, the best exhibits, the best flower show and the be s' attendance this year than ever before,” Mr. Sutton sajd.
