The and power plant is faced with an improvement program for its rural electric lines. These lines were constructed before the day of electric refrigeration, radio and TV and in many points in the county the lines are inadequate. No community can go backward and survive and it would seem that the thing to do is rebuild the lines which serve the farm homes in this area. —-0 0 Lack of support for the Eisenhower program in congress is chargeable to members of the President's own party. No one seems to be following the leader and the many factions within the GOP are engaged in fights with the McCarthy investigation committee, criticism of the army and state departments. Very little in constructive legislation has been accomplished in this session, although leaders plan to adjourn congress in June. - . __v__o_ Despite the fact that both par77 ties have supported the Hatch act, which restricts political activities of federal officeholders, a congressman has introduced a bill to ameqd the law. The new version would permit officeholders to participate in all political activities, even to allowing mail carriers the right to discuss politics on their route. Apparently there is little sentiment in congress to approve the amended bill and it will more than likely die in committee. —-p. 0 Gov. Craig will try a new wilukle- in his effort to "sell" state government to the people. The governor’s secretary will direct the filming of 13 “non-pollti-cal" films which will be televised in the state. Scenes and activities in state penal and mental institutions, schools, conservation, highway and traffic departments will be filmed for Hoosier TV sets. The films could be informative and should be developed without a taint of politics. After all citizens of both parties will be paying for the 36,500 of celluloid. __o 0— Although it isn’t a state project, construction of the St. Lawrence seaway has entered the gubernatorial campaign in Ohio. In seeking his fifth term, Gov. Lausche has announced his support of the seaway. The governor said that construction of the channel which will connect the Great Lakes with the Atlantic wean, would benefit the people

of Ohio. Iron ore would be ship- a watchful eye on the vote tally. Rexall March Savings PURETEST ASPIRIN TABLETS . 200 for 66c CARA NOME DEODORANT CREAM Reg.

ped to Cleveland and other cities along the seaway. The project will come in for a. lot of discussion, since Sen. Bricker of the Buckeye state voted against the bill, which was recently approved in the senate. President Eisenhower advocated the building of the seaway and it appears that Gov. Lausche has the inside track in an important issue in Ohio. 0 0 Engineers have estimated that the cost of the proposed Chicago to Miami toll road at one and a half-billion dollars. The turnpike would traverse Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia in reaching Florida. Indiana has already set up a toll road commission for its participation in the superhighway development and an overpass is being built in Louisville, which will carry traffic over the proposed route. It appears that toll roads will be the big development in traffic problems during the next 20 years. 0 0 Factory employment should pick up this spring and along with several local construction projects employment should show improvement. Although not operating on a full capacity basis, the industries in this city employ hundreds of workers. In a few cases, shorter work hours prevail and it is hoped that business improvement will bring about full time schedules. In the building trades, mapy workers will be employed in house construction, sewer projects, the community center and other ventures planned by Individuals and organizations. We hope 1954 winds up as one of the best years in the city’s history., ■— 0 0 Congressman Sa m Rayburn very ably presented the Democratic tax program to the nation in his radio and TV broadcast. He differs with the administration on its policy of making tax cuts at the top and let the benefits trickle down to the working man. The veteran legislator said'th^-Demo-crats wanted tax relief for the small wage earner and that the party supports the 3200 personal exemption, as proposed by Senator George. The vote on the tax program is scheduled for today and the fight to revamp the schedules to help taxpayers earning less than 35,000 annually will be carried on to the final roll ball. The major labor union leaders have endorsed the Democrat prograin and wage earners will keep _ the vnlo tallv

Farm State Solons And Kline. Disagree Farm Bureau Leader For Flexible Plan WASHINGTON UP — The head of the nation's biggest fann organization argued for two days wilh the congressmen who write farm law over price supports but got nowhere although his position is about the same as President Eisenhower's. President Allan B. Kline of the American Farm Bureau Federation contended before the house agriculture committee that farmers would be more prosperous in the long run if the government stops guaranteeing them high prices for wheat, cotton, corn peanuts and rice. But most of the farm state congressmen disagreed. They said farmers would suffer if congress agreed to the so-called ‘ flexible” or “variable” supports proposed by the administration and backed by ‘ Kline. Under that system, support prices would be lowered if armers keep producing surpluses. The committee members, conducting hearings on farm legislation. spent nine hours listening toand lecturing—Kline before finishing with him nad his organization Wednesday night. Kline’s position was supported by spokesmen for the Indiana. Maine. lowa, Utah, Illinois and Arkansas farm bureaus. The North Carolina Farm Bureau' dissented. Kline contended the present program of rigid high supports is “unworkable.” He blamed it for surpluses, saying it encouraged overproduction.
