By Carrier, 20 cents per week. Single copies,* 6 cents. A $6.00 Tax Rate? — Decatur’s present tax rate of |5.86-|5.90 will ai- . most certainly go over the $6 mark next year as the result of the “equalization” law passed by the General Assembly and approved by Governor Handley. The law itself is not a bad one—it provides for a county tax of 25 cents on the hundred dollar valuation to be distributed to school taxing units in the county on a student per capita basis. It would be possible, of course, for each school corporation to reduce its local appropriation proportionately, but this can hardly be expected. School buildings need repair, costs are up, and school teachers must be given well-deserved raises. At the same time, it is going to take a very wise city council to keep Decatur's rate down to |6, or lower, and still solve the many city problems. If the light plant is not sold, a station must be built, and lines repaired, with a costly rebonding process, and possibly higher electric rates. At the samp time, sewers all over the city urgently need relief—hundreds of homes have been weakened, and thousands of dollars in damage has occurred from backed-up sewers during the recent floods. Streets must be kept in repair. New wells and new water lines must be drilled and built. Decatur can, of course, solve these problems, and still keep taxes at a fairly reasonable level. We can consider, in the election April 14, selling the city electric utility. This is not an-easy decision. If it could be operated profitably, repaired and improved, and at the same time improve the city sewers, keep the streets and parks in order, and solve all the other numerous city problems, including high taxes, it would be the thing to A But can it be done? It hasn’t been in the past.

Dairy Farmers Are Assured More Profit

WASHINGTON (UPD - Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson has assured dairy farmers a greate rmargin of profit for their milk and butterfat during the maketlng yeas. beginning April 1. Benson announced Thursday that the dollara-and-cents price supports for dairy products during the new marketing year will be the same as last year. Because he previously set lower price supports for feed grains, the spread between the retained price for dairy products and the prize for feed grains will be larger than last year. The support price for manufacturing milk will continue at $3.06 per hundredweight. The prop for buttefat will remain at 56.6 cents per pound. The supports could have dropped to $2.96 for milk and 55 cents for butterfat. The support prices for the 195960 season will be pegged at about n per cent of "fair income" parity. During the season about to end, they were 75 per cent of parity, the minimum permitted by law. Parity prices of dairy products declined after last year's support rates were set. Benson said the new dairy support figures was based "solely on the economics of the situation. He said there "Was no undue political pressure on this issue.” WASHINGTON (UPD — The House Agriculture Committee will hold public hearings next Wednesday ana Thursday to get farm program “suggestions” from other members of Congress. Chairman Harold D. Cooley (DN.C.) said the "agricultural dilemma” was an important issue in last November’s elections. He said "numerous” new members were elected because they proposed changes in the farm program. " WASHINGTON (UPD—An Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS> survey shows that farm, market news is a mainstay of radio and television stations throughout the United States. The AMS, an arm of the Agriculture Department, recently surveyed 4,784 radio and television stations to find out how they use market news. Os 1,977 radio stations who replied. 1,472, or 74 per cent, reported they broadcast market news regularly. Os 367 television replying, 165 said they used market news regularly. This is an increase over iuoo, when the last survey showed 1,461 radio Stations and 148 television stations carried farm market news furnished by federal and state market news offices. WAJtHNGTON (UPD—The Agriculture Department's crop reporting board estimates there were 363 million potential laying hens on farms Jan. 1, including hens of laying age and pullets. This means the number of potential laying hens at the beginning of this year Was three per cent greater than on J an. 1, 1958. United States Flag To Have 50th Star WASHINGTON (UPD — The United States flag is going to have a 50th star — but no one here knows when it will be added or precisely where it will be placed. Flagmakers, who tensely awaited the decision on the design for a 49-star flag to accommodate the admission of Alaska, were up a pole once again. To make it worse, Hawaii's certain addition as the 50th member of the Union came before it was actually proper to display the 49star flag. - The flag design adding a star for Alaska was approved Jan. 3, when the state joined the Union. But President Eisenhower’s proclamation also pointed out that individuals and private firms were not supposed to fly the new banner with seven staggered rows of seven stars each until July 4, 1959. It appeared unlikely that Hawaii’s star would be officially added to Old Glory before the 49-star flag became official this year. Although Eisenhower was sure to sign the bill given final congressional approval Thursday, the Hawaiians had to hold plebiscite, elect congressmen and formally be admitted to the Union. When it is admitted, a new flag reflecting its addition to the Union would not become official until the following Independence Day. Also. -if the procedure carried out by the government in the case of Alaska is repeated, highlevel officials wifl have to ponder the problem of how to place 50 starsinthe flag’s blue field.” The Veterans Administration, which buys some 130,000 flags a year, is ordering flags to be made with the regulation 13 stripes, bitt without any stars. It said flag manufacturers have agreed to wait until tilings settle down a bit before adding the stars.
