REFORM BILLS
WE ARE ENTITLED TO THE BEST
Tin* nation Iiuh wailed so lon^ for rolirf from
(lie liarnifnl efforts of liravv-liamlril personal ami
corporate income tax rates that it would he tragic
to settle for any Iml the very hesl lax reduction
legislation.
To merit that superlative tin* program must
have provisions that are superior to any other
proposal for eraeking the tax-created log-jam
which is preventing our economy from achieving
its full growth potential.
The Herloug-Baker tax rale reform hills (II.R.
265 and II.R. 348) pass that qualifying test with
flying colors. Through sweeping reform of indi-
vidual and corporate tax rales the hills would
spring loose the dammed-up capital essential to
widespread economic expansion; tin* creation of
more and heller johs and the improvement of
living standards.
The desirability of the Herloug-Baker legislation
becomes even more pronounced when it is com-
pared to the Administration's tax cut plan. Though
the President admirably diagnosed the nation's,
tax ills In* didn't prescribe the proper ‘remedy.
By failing to provide adcquulc reductions in tin*
middle to high iu< »me lax brackets tin* Adminis-
tration's program would neither free enough
investment funds nor provide tin* incentives for
effort and risk-taking vital to long-term growth
and tin* continuing availability of new johs.
If \inericans upplv their traditional pursuit of
the best in everything they do to tax action tlicv
will miqiiestioiiahly demand prompt enactment of
the Herloug-Baker hills.

Speed Driver to
Speak to LHS
Students April 18
Swine Evaluation Day
Here is Success
>on Freeland, veteran inaianap-
ons Motor Speedway driver, will
speak to the students of The La
Grange High School , April 18,at
10:46 a.m.
Mr. Freeland Is one of a team
of eight Indianapolis race drivers
who have presented the award- win-
ning Champion Highway Safety Pr-
ogram to more than 5,000,000 teen-
agers in the last seven years. His
subject, “Highway Safety Is No
Accident” is of particular import-
ance and interest to high sohool
students, many of whom are taking
driver training education, and co-
untless others who are driving cars
in heavy traffic everyday.
The Indianapolis race driver
compares driving on the big speed-
way with everyday operations on
our highways and insists if every
motorist would be as courteous and
as alert as the race driver and
keep his car in as good condition
there would not be the heavy tr-
affic fatality toll being experienced
today.
Mr. Freeland will relate many of
his experiences on the race track
and some he has had on the high-
ways which he travels some 35,
000 to 50,000 mi.es a year as he
delivers his safety lectures. Pre-
ceding the talk, the speaker will
show a sound and color movie made
at the Indianapolis Speedway es-
pecially for use of the highway sa-
fety team.
The National Safety Council has
recognized the program by
twice presenting its public ser-
vice award to Champion Spark Plug
Company for developing and maint-
aining the presentation in the pub-
lic interest. It has also been re-
cognized editorially by the Satur-
day Evening Post and more than
5,000 letters from educators, civ-
ic leaders and law enforcement of-
ficers attest to the value of the
presentation.
Thirteen entries were reported

aluation Field Days held at the
Fair Grounds Monday apd Tuesday,
April 8 and 9. L '
The two-day event is designed
to give farmers and swine pro-
ducers a chance td observe what

ard by producing the best certi-
fied meat carcass. Other swine
