u xtmen.
Opponents of the ever-increasing demands for econ-
omy in our federal government argue that the current
".tate of the world has imposed such burdens and re-
sponsibilities on the United States that significant cuts
in spending are out of the question now.
But that argument overlooks the fact that govern-
ment is conducting business operations which are com- *
.petitive with private enterprise.
v A task force sub-committee of the Hoover Commis-
sion has recommended the selling of all businesses
owned by the federal government in the United States
and over the world that are competing with private
enterprise and paying no taxes. t
Bear in mind that we have to pay taxes to keep these
businesses going. The total value of these is over 105
billion dollars. The proceeds from such sales should
be paid on our national debt. This would save two
or three billion dollars interest and the businesses
would pay at least six billion dollars in taxes to the
United States Treasury, in addition to taxes to local
and state governments.
As we have explained before, the Hoover Commis-
sion report is not a political report. More than 1,000
business leaders over the nation helped conduct this
non-partisian study in efforts to halt unnecessary gov-
ernment spending.
There are, of course, many other suggestions in the
second Hoover Committee report to the House and
Senate informing Congress of expenses and red tape,
which if eliminated would make our government more
efficient.
What's more important, it would cut our taxes by
20 to 30 per cent
What can the readers of the Denton Record-Chron-
icle do about it? This is our fight, and it is up to us
to tell our senators and representatives that they must
follow the suggestions made by the Hoover committee
in order to save the nation from ultimately being
completely crushed by taxation.

WASHINGTON, un - Surprise!
Surprise! The people in Washing-
ton who spend the taxpayers'
money are learning that a good
many citizens wish they'd spend a
little leu. Maybe a lot less.
Listen to Sen. Mundt (R-SD),
who has been here for 18 years
and is a hard man to amaze:
“It’s amazing how the idea has
swept across the country that the
budget must be cut." ,
Mundt, whose people ale mostly
farmers, and Sen. Smith (R-NJ),
who has a lot of people In cities
and towns, agreed that their econ-
omy mail outweighs all their how-
about-an-appropriation requests.
The senators and representa-
tives are responding to their mail,
too. There was an unusual amount
of economy talk going around this
week in Washington.
As President Eisenhower put it,
with gentle irony:
"I must say it is a very great
satisfaction to me to find out there
are so’many economy-minded peo-
ple in Washington. They didn't
use to be here."
This was quite a week in other
ways, too.
President Dave Beck of the
Teamsters Union talked steadily
for almost two days and never
told the Senate rackets probers a
thing about his handling of union
money. The senators had an idea
he‛s mishandled about 8320.000.
President Eisenhower got cold-
ly angry in front of 212 newsmen.
One reporter asked him if he
would be willing, in the interests
of economy, to do without 8120.000
worth of helicopters on his golf
trips.
Eisenhower flared up and
snapped: “No helicopter* ’ have
been procured for me to go to a
golf course."
Eisenhower went to Gettysburg
for the weekend. He went by car.
TAXES - ECONOMY - Demo-
cratic leaders, including Speaker
Rayburn, were reported to be con-
sidering a plan to cut taxes be-
ginning Jan. 1, 1958 if Congress
can cut spending enough. There
was talk of a 10 per cent reduc-
tion in individual income taxes.
House Republicans, at a party
conference, adopted a resolution
saying "a sharp reduction is es-
sential In the high level of federal
government spending." They
pledged efforts to make payments
on the national debt and cut taxes
as soon as possible.
All the seats in the House will
be up for election next year, and
a tax cut would be a real handy
thing to take into anybody's cam-
paign.
BUSINESS TAXES - Congress
voted a 15-month extension of
present tax rate* on corporation
income and many excises. Other-
wise, the rates would have
dropped tomorrow, costing the
government three billion dollars a
year.

CORRDPTO..:
The Capacity Of The States
An all-out campaign is on to persuade Congress to
give huge grants to the states for school construction,
on the theory that the states are incapable of meeting
the need.
Yet in December, 1055, the White House Confer-
ence on Education, which was the largest and most
representative gathering of its kind we have yet
known, reported: "No state represented has a demon-
strated financial incapacity to build the schools it
will need in the next five years."

It just takes good, plain, common sense to see how much better
off Texas would be if we were well represented in both of the
major political parties. We want this, and we want it very much;
this is why we are so enthusiastic to elect Thad.
So, if you feel as we do. that Texas should be a true two-party
state and that our state needs a breath of fresh air from our
present government. then wo ask that you join us to our campaign
to elect Thad Hutcheson to the U. S. Senate.

was delaying one of the scheduled
committee hearings. The final
postponement of the hearing be-
cause of the continuance of the
filibuster necessitated a return
trip to Austin at a later date.
"The quoted statements con-
cerning selfish lobbying were made
during a debate over a legislative
restriction which provides that
trips to Austin by college adminis-
trative officials, while the legis-
lature is in session, can be made
only upon prior approval of the
governing board if travel expenses
are to be reimbursed. The attorney
general's interpretation of the
wording of this provision limits
the giving of such approval to
meetings of the board. It cannot
even be delegated to the chair-
man, and approval given the
board after a trip has been made
is invalid. The dates of legislative
committee hearings on bills af-
fecting any college or university,
or all of them, cannot be possibly
known at any given date when a
board is in session. It is Impossi-
ble for busy board members to
congregate In session each time
a trip to Austin is necessary. The
plan is, therefore, unworkable.
"Furthermore, it to wrong in
principle because it throws a road-
block into discharge of duties by
college officials charged with re-
presenting their faculties, student
bodies, and the constituencies of
their respective schools on legis-
lative matters. We, too, are res-
ponsible to the people, just as are
those who are quoted as having
made such unfounded statements."

President Elsenhower, at his
news conference this week, was
skeptical of the good to come
from Congress' present mood of
piecemeal cutting of his budget.
The Guaranty survey is critical
of the whole congressional habit
of handling money bills, saying:
"Appropriations are voted piece-
meal in a series of bills not direct-
ly related to any over-all total of
expenditure or revenue. To make
matters worse, Congress has de-
veloped the practice of voting
large spending programs covering
periods that extend for years Into
the future.

portion of the money spent by the
government in any fiscal year con-
sists of ‘carryover’ funds voted in

poses. beyond the current control

Annual Budget Of Its Own
By SAM DAWSON
An Agriculture Department re-
port showed that last year farm*
ers got 81,131,000,000 for the to-
bacco they grew, while tax col-
lectors got 82.185,000,000 from the
same tobacco after it had been
made into cigaretter, etc.
BECK - TEAMSTERS - Like
many a man before him. honest
or otherwise. Teamster President
Beck found refuge in the Fifth
Amendment’s' protection against
self-incrimination. ,
Still, his refusal to testify
brought condemnation on his head
by Chairman McClellan (D-Ark
and it brought his suspension
from the Executive Council of the
AFL-CIO.
Beck's appearance before the
Investigating committee was a
dreary round of monotonous
refusals to talk. But there were
mirthful moments, such as when
the committee listed some of the
things it said Beck bought with
union money:
Shirts, nylon stockings, golf
clubs, diapers, refrigerators,
lawnmowers, farm equipment,
washing machines, knee drawers
and what McClellan described as
"a loveseat for a rumpus room."
BECK-IKE — When word got
back to Washington that Eisen-
hower scorched the highway on
his ride to Gettysburg—hitting 70-
75 miles an hour in a 55-mile zone,
this question was raised by a
wag:
"Who does he think he to —
Dave Beck?"
SUB PRESIDENT—The admin-
istration and Congress leaders
took up the question of how to
have the vice president take
charge when the president be-
comes temporarily disabled. It
might involve amending the Con-
stitution. ---------------------
Eisenhower suggested that the
Cabinet be given the power to
shift the job, if the president him- A
self were not able to make the if
decision. There was some senti- %
ment at the Capitol to rest the
decision with a committee drawn
from Congress, the Cabinet and
the Supreme Court.
Action this year appeared un-
likely.
HOUSING -The White House
announced lower down payments
for houses financed with govern-
ment-insured loans.
Two percentage points were
knocked off. From now on a bor-
rower may buy a house with a
down payment of 8 per cent of
the first 89,000 of house value and
25 per cent of the amount in ex-
cess of 89,000.
The building industry has been
hurting, and the White House said
this new action would boost con-
struction by making it easier for
a family to become a homeowner.
There haven't been very many
voters in Denton County nor in the
state to cast absentee ballots in
the election, to be held Tuesday,
which to all the more reason for
those who haven’t voted absentee
to cast their ballots in person. Re-
ports from over the state indicate
a light vote, but we've seen such
reports that didn't materialise, as
a heavy vote was cast. Most peo-
ple don't talk as much politics as
they did in years in the past, but
most of them when the time comes
turn to the polls. Some reports
are that there won't be more than
a half of the voters to go to the
polls, but Roundabout just can’t
believe that since this to a very
important election. Interest in the
city vote for city commissioners
may pull out a heavy vote in the
city. Remember there are two
elections to be held here tomor-
row and you'll probably feel bet-
tor if you take part in both.
