Vicious Slander Some of the vicious stories circulating concerning the sale of the Decatur electric plant just are not true. One of them, that the city attorney will collect a 5% or 10% fee on the sale of the plant is entirely false. The city attorney is paid a salary, and regardless of the amount of legal work, great or small, he will get no additional fees from the city for any city project; according to the mayor. In fact, if the plant is sold, he will receive S6UO a year less. Also, the question of employment, is not involved. Kegardiess of whether the eiuue plani, ana uisinuuuon system is sold, the city wm iiui run me steam plain aim aiesel, nut will switch to puixnasea power to increase its proiit, and allow improvements to oe made, basically, the question amounts to tins: it you generally have faith in big business, in private utilities, and feel that they will do a better joo tnan many little outfits, then vote for sale; or, it you fern tnat tne huge, growing private utilities are monopolies that will eventually control electricity ana raise tne cost of it to an unnecessary price, while sman, iocany operated companies will compete with one another anu provide the best service locally, vote to retain the utility by saying no on the referendum in February. The figures given by those who want to sell the plant and those given by the people who wish to keep the p.ant are totally at variance. It is your faith, either in monopoly and big business, or in competition and little businesses, that should decide the matter. There is no doubt that big business is more efficient; nor is there any doubt that little business has more heart and understanding. When you boil it all down, it comes to just that choice. A lot more figures and facts will be given by both sides, but the basic issues will remain. Which do you want? Make certain you are registered, and then vote your preference. You can register now, if you have not voted before, at the county clrk’s office.

A letter from the U. S. addressed to the public relations officer of the All Nations Club in Sydney, Australia, arrived recently after having been first returned to sender bearing a cryptic observation: “Returned for 1 cent postage: postage rate 25 cents per % oz.; total postage required 25 cents.

The Russian J. Edgar Hoover, Gen. Ivan A. Serov, has been demoted, apparently, In another top-level shift in Moscow. Soviet politics seems considerably more dangerous at the present time than our own variety. Krushchev has taken the same path that Stalin took in eliminating his competition for leadership. Three former premiers, and half a dozen ministers of state have been removed since the old dictator's death.
