IN ITS FEATURE, Joe Crump’s column, the Coopers-
ville, Michi; “
"Newspaper
pared by the
nment agent
federal government carry a footnote that reads, ’The
U. S. government does not pay for this advertisement.
It is presented as a public service.’ This means that the
taxpayer pays for the preparation of the ad and the pub-
lisher must absorb the cost of publication. Some tub-
thumping restraint is in order.”
ACCORDING TO the National Federation of Independent
Business, Inc.: "Less than 35 percent of the independent
businessmen are opposed to employing an ex-convict or
parolee to fill a job...which the person is capable of handl-
ing, after release from prison. However, the type of crime
tor which a person was sent to prison is a factor in ae-
tenwinaften of the willingness to hire. A person who has
served time for burglary is three times more desirable
than one convicted of a sex crime. This data is developing
from a special survey being conducted in California by the
National Federation of Independent Business in cooperation
with state authorities.”

FED - UP WITH TV
Walter Cronkite is feuding
with the Nixon administration
again. The anchorman of CBS
News Program defended the
news as set forth on TV in
accepting the "Broadcast of
the'Year” award. Actually
many people must have felt
that Vice President Agnew
was more or less, correct in
his charge that TV editori-
alized in its news programs
instead of presenting the news
objectively and letting the
listener form his own opin-
ions.
If there had not been some
grounds for Agnew’s charges
there would have been more
criticism from the people.
Instead you would hear re-
marks to the effect it was
about time somebody did
something about the slanted
news.
By the very nature of its
financing and programing TV
is not an ideal media for ob-
jective and Impartial news re-
porting. You can’t present the
news adequately or accurately
in a five minute broadcast
Yet that is the way much of
the news is given the listener
due to that fact some means
must be found for the spot
announcements which are
necessary to keep the station
alive.
In the last two or three
years I have been spending
less and less time in front
of my TV set. Apparently
I am not by myself. The
Saturday Review recently re-
ported an Arbltron Rating
Count which showed a “wide-
spread, unaccountable and un-
believable decline” in the TV
viewers. The wonder to me
is that more of us did not
get fed up before now.—Des-
kins Wells in Wellington

IT DOESN’T WORK BUT IT
GETS VOTES
“We have found that there
is nothing wrong with social-
ism except that it doesn’t
work,” Premier W. Ross
Thatcher of Saskatchewan told
a group of Ohio doctors meet-
ing in Columbus. He spoke
to the Ohio State Medical As-
sociation convention about
Saskatchewan’s experiences
with what he called “cradle
to grave” government medical
care.
Mr. Thatcher said that per
capita hospitalization costs
had risen eight to 10 per cent
a year since 1947 and that
“the escalating costs year by
year, have been frightening.”
However, when Mr. That-
cher was asked if he favored
a return to the private enter-
prise system in medical care
he said that “with elections
coming up in one month I
wouldn’t dare answer that.”
By this we can see what
brings the comment thatthere
is nothing wrong with social-
ism except that it does not
work. An idea that has noth-
ing more than that wrong with
it is one that can be very
popular. A politician who
objects to it is an old meany
and does not believe in prog-
ress. Futhermore he is with-
out sympathy for poor folks
and ignores the troubles of
minorities. With all that a-
galnst him he can’t get elected.
That something does not
work is nothing against it in
a political campaign. This is
something to be seen later, and
when troubles develop in
government programs it is not
possible to discard them and
go back to private enterprise.
It is no more a possibility
than it is to restore a sawed-
off table leg to its original
length to make the table level.
It is necessary to keep sawing
off legs.
The political campaigns are
between candidates who must
try to outdo one another in
promising to make socialistic
programs work better.
It is the beautiful idea of
sharing the wealth. The limits
of the existing wealth will not
be recognized. The incentives
to increase wealth are de-
creased. Taxes go up and
UP, and money goes down in
value only for what it can
buy. The poor are not help-
ed much if any by devalued
money, higher taxes and
government programs that do
not work.
But, as Mr. Thatcher said,
if elections are coming up it

Nocoaa, Texas 7®W.
Thousands of American boys have been killed in Vietnam
ring trapped in hamlets where men, womenand children
paraded as villagers, when actually they were armed
Vietcong Molotov cocktails, bombs and what have you.
boys were trying to be decent and suddenly they found
selves completely surrounded by villagers armed to the
teeth and destroying them. But the poor bleeding hearts
In America, these anti-American so-calledpe.trlots, instead
of having any sympathy for our boys who, of course, had
'to fight back, felt sorry only for the old men and children
who got hurt in the mlxup.
Of coarse they would get hurt in that kind of a mess.
We had a lot of boys killed in that action. The anti-
Amerlcans had no sympathy for our boys, but they had all
kinds of sympathy for the poor villagers who were simply
used, innocently or otherwise, by the Vietcong. This is
war, make no mistake about it, but these anti-American
loudmouths seem to believe we have no right to wage it
in our own defense.
DIDN’T ENLET
One U. S. senator actually said that American prisoners
of war in Hanoi might as well just stay there, because they
certainly wouldn’t have been prisoners if they had had enough
sense not to enlist for a useless and barbaric war. Well,
the fact is they didn’t enlist - they were drafted.
And many of the ver* men who supported President John
F. Kennedy when he want into Vietnam and who supported
the Tonkin Resolution, later, when the war became unpopular,
turned about-face and blamed the whole thing on President
Lyndon Johnson. And now they are blaming it on President
Nixon, who didn’t have a single thing to do with starting
this war.
MttS very men who are loudest in their criticism
uf President Nixon and the present situation in Vietnam,
which gradually is being solved, are the very ones who
really helped start the whole mess. This is the worst
display of national hypocrisy we have ever witnessed in
this country.
TERRIBLE ATMOSPHERE
It ta unbelievable that so small a minority of Americans,
these loudmouths, could create such a terrible atmosphere
in this country. If it were not for the loudmouths, the world
would know almost nothing about what is going on here,
because it .is ■« touch more peaceful here, and safer, than
any place else ta the world. But to hear tnese nieeamu
hearts yell, you would think Russia is a Utopia compared
to America.
Stop this anti-American rot Because if you don’t
America’s youth will bo consumed by the stanch of this
hypocritical rhetoric.

WORSER AND WORSER
One report tells us there’s
a fiscal and political time-
bomb ticking ta the Social
Security - welfare bill the
House takes up next month:
an explosive 86 per cent in-
crease in the payroll tax dur-
ing the next six years.
The maximum Social Secur-
ity tax being withheld from the
pay of any employe this year
is $405.60. If the bill be-
comes law, by 1977 the max-
imum would be at least $754.
80, in all probability more.
The employer pays a match-
ing tax.
For some low and moderate
income families the payroll
tax by 1977 could be a burden
comparable to, or even great-
er then, the Income tax.
If the prospect worries you
as an employe, or employer,
it also worries members of
Congress, some of whom are
already talking of a taxpayers
revolt.
There isn’t enough op-
position building up to stop the
bill in the House, but its fate
in the Senate is a question.
—Cecil Waggoner in Claude
News.
THE MINIMUM WAGE
Considerable pressure is
being exerted on Congress to
increase the minimum wage
right now to $2 an hour, rather
than wait until 1973 as propos-
ed ta a House bill.
The proponents content that
the Increase would give the
economy a lift by creating ad-
ditional spending power. This
is fallacious reasoning.
Minimum - wage Jobe are
given to those who lack the
experience or know-how to
step into higher wage
brackets. They are the first
step ta the ladder.
By removing this bottom
rung, not only will many of yting on it.
