Tomorrow's Primary

THERE have been no fundamental issues argued ba and forth during the primary campaign. We have a a A De cary, and ‘scrambling by candidates to win the indorsement of this or that political machine. So, tomorrow, we will see the usual rallying of party workers, but unfortunately, a lack of interest by the independent voters. ny The ballots for both parties are long. 1t is a difficult task to select qualified men and women who will -be the candidates in the fall election. In most county offices the candidates are well known and the voters well able to decide who they prefer on the fall ticket. In three important contests, we have definite recommendations.

THIS IS a presidential year. It is vital that Marion County send to Congress a truly outstanding man to sue‘ceed Louis Ludlow, whose service to this district has been long and faithful.

That would-be like A buying B's wallet at cost and getting the contents free. Comptroller General Lindsay Warren, who serves Congress as watchdog of the Treasury, says the $40 million should go to the government—to reimburse the taxpayers for the interest they've been paying on the banks’ original capital. He's right about that, we think. We agree with him also that, as long as any government money remains in the banks, they and their borrowers should assume the debt service on it. That seems a matter of elemental fairness to the taxpayers, who are carrying the heavy burden of the national debt with mighty little help from the co-operatives.
