J CALLING THE TUNE OF INFLATION

We are well aware that elec- ‘ tion time is fast a-comin’. and the fate oi many c mdidates Democrats and Repub.leans, Incumbents and Challengers will be in the balance. But we hope that tin people of tins land, both m ir and afar, will keep one issue uppermost in their minds — that of fisc il responsibiaty. Infiaton the devaluation of the dollar • has already brought painful, and in some cases disasterous consequences to many segments of oar population And it i. time for everyone to repeat after themselves, ten times or twenty times or more of neceessary; ' “inflation is not due to rising prices; rising pines are due to deficit spending by the government.’ Let ns not be deceived: the ’ politicians can "jaw-jaw” ibout “accepting" a certain percentage of unemployment (easy to talk about but mighty tough 'on the unemployed i: they can , talk about price freezes or wage fr> < zes of “holding the line” oi credit controls, or any number of other things: BUT ♦•as long ns the national government wulmues to spend more than ftiC" lects, we are going * to ha conflation, or rising pric- «

es. or a devalued dollar, or wh itewi you want to call it and nothing in all of God’s earth is going to change it. “The Spectator." one of England’s leading weekly pub.ication . recently put it as well as any: - “The conventional wisdom that tax reductions are inflationary and th it raising taxes cures inflation is simply untrue . . . . " “Tax cuts are only inflationary if the government doesn't stop spending an equivalent amount of money.” “Britain is suffering from a cost-inflation (the increased costs be ng caused by greater amounts of government created money bidding up prices >. not a demand inflation. A reduction ,n taxes, by increasing the value of everybody's wage packet. should help to contain . . . the impetus to higher wages and therefore to higher costs and higher prices.” In other woids. to stop “infl tion". cut government costs and lower taxes. But if you want to pay higher prices ur even-thing, elect to Congress those who will spend, and spend, and spend. It’s th it simple.

( —M S G — Voice Os The rcople 1 Several weeks ago I had an artcle in this paper concerning 1 a tragedy that hid befallen my son at h s present Army Base. In the article I stated that I had written my Congressman. Several pei sons told me that it would omy go into his waste ba-ket. I am very pleased to report that Mr. Bradcmas did not put my letter in his waste basket I received a prompt rep.y. He had obtained information which I failed to give him. He stated he was in cont < t with the Department of the Army and had requoted a report on the incident, also he won d be in touch with me again Recently 1 received a letter from my son telling me that all ban acks on the base are now being guaaded Now, I have been put to shame. In the past 1 h tve received ques tionaires pertaining to matters pend ng in Congress. 1 put them in my waste basket In the future I shall fill them out and send them back. I think if we. the people, would give our men in Washington the little help they ask for they cou d do a better job for us. Let's give .t a try. Mrs Lorin E. Smith I am concerned about the juveniles involved with marijuana. Youth from as far away as Alaska and other states have invaded local farm and to harvest ma ijuana 7he youngsters have been apprehended and p’aced n custody, a'l at the expense of the taxpayers. This could have been pia-vented if we had a preventa-

tive program, as this writer a- - advocated, thus prevent youngsters from criminal iocords. In th.s particular case if we had a County Ordinance which would provide that marijuana be destroyed voluntarily by the owners of the umd and if the vwne refused then the aw enforcement agency wou d be mandated to destroy it. Upon nvitation by the late Dag Ilammarskj i'd. Secretary Genera' of the United Nations, th.s writer as judge of the Juvenile Court participated n the First United Nations Conference on C .me and Del nqueney, where he earned from war d experts that the answer to juvenile problems is preventive programs which tliis writer exerc sed in the community, thus, gave* us the lowest d( linquency rate in the nation Problems created by man can be salved by man. Yours tru y, Joi.a S. Gonas Dear Mr. Newman: As Third D.str.ct Democratic ( han man. I am re ponding to your st itemi-nt about Congressman Brademas as i eported m the press of September 29. 1970. Your statement proposes debnt( s b tween y«» « and Congressman Brademas for the pm pose, you say. oi providing the vote.s < f the Th rd D.strict a forum for discussion of the issues. As you kn >w. Cong? ss is still in session and Congressman Brademas must be on the job in Washing ton, k avmg him ittie time to spare here in the Disti.ct, A thoughtful reasoned discussion of the issues facing the voters of the Th rd District wouid. of course, be useful. Bit because of the manner in which you have conducted your campaign so far. you have demonstrated that you are incapable of such a discussion. Accord.ng to the South Bend Tribune of September 4. 1970, in a public speech in E khart on September 3, 1970, you described C mgiesiman Brd^emas as a “disease causing gT'rm.” This article as well as another in the Elkhart Truth of September 4, 1970, states that, in referring to Congressman Brademas as a "ge.m", you ind.cated that ' Mr. Brademas is the cause of a “new disease”, of which the symptoms include ‘'nausea'' and “constipation". Congressman Brademas >s nationally recognized by Democrats and Republicans alike — including Republican col.eagues in Congress as an outstanding legisi lator. That you as a candidate : for the high office of Rrpi-sen-tative in the Congress of the United States, should find it necessary to mdu.ge in such vulgar namecahing and extremist language in referring to your opponent demonstrates that you are incapable of mature and res|xmsib e service m Congress and unabe to carry on a thoughtful, gentleman, y discussion of important public issues. Aside from the fact that Congressman Brademas is busy on the j ’b. serving the citizens of the Third District, it would be beneath the dignity of the office he holds with such distinction and dedication to engage in i debate with someone who shows --o little respect for the process of democracy. The language you have used to attack the person elected by the peop e as their Representative in Congress for six successive I?'ms is an .nsult not only to our'Congressman but to the intelligence and sound judgment of t|ie people of our district. Therefore, on behalf of Congressman Brademas I must legretfu ly inform you that your conduct has made imposs.ble the debates you suggest □ □ BIRTHS rj n A daughter was bo n on October Ist to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Thompson.
