IMAGINE, FOR A MOMENT, A NEW
WORLD OF COMFORT AND CONVEN-
IENCE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Based on this arithmetic, the
United States Government is
sitencUng around 51.000 per head
in our state. Although estimates
are a little elusive. Texans pay
something like 58 billion to the
Fed*ral Government in taxea.
The state's income actually de
pends more on grants from
Washington than upon any sin-
gle State .tax. So. in the econ-
omy as a whole, twice as much
is spent in the Slate by the
Federal Government than I*
collected in taxes.
Washington, D. C. —A ques-
tion often asked is “What would
happen to our economy should
‘peace break out.it is a good
question and, of course, one
to which thought and study has
been devoted by responsible
governmental agencies.

From these sources, togeth-
er with some economists and
political leaders, it is the K®**-
eral opinion that the demands
on some programs such as
urban renewal, housing, high-
way, building and the lite,
would in a short time, about
fill the gap if spending was
provided for these purposes.
More important, at least for
the immediate years following
cessation of hostilities in South-
east .Asia, is the refurbishing of
our military machinery.

There is no comparison that
an industry as a whole is near
the Government when it comes
to supporting our Texas econ-
omy.
Defense spending of 56.064.-
962,000 in the year 1967-68
amounts to approximately one-
half the total according to Mr.
Moore's research. The Depart-
ment of Health,
Welfare ranked
expenditure of
round figures).
This situation is on the mind
and under construction of not
only officials of the Federal
Government? but by our State
leaders to maintain conditions
conducive to continued expan-
sion of our industrial base. A
looming factor is the need for
an adequate water supply
which may be the key to the
future of pur State’s economy
In this balance of our economic
needs, a careful look-see must
be given to the major facris
of our economy, namely, in-
dustry, agriculture, military
and national defence activity.
A stable labor situation will
continue to be a great influence
on the total outlook

natural resources to support
these activities. Second, we
have a favorable climate, both
weatherwise and in attitude in-

we have comparative stability
in the labor market. Lastly but
not conclusive, there is “elbow

These are not the total as-

The week before the elections
Ballinger High’s halls and class

From the economic stand-
point this is important to our
