UNCLE EB from EBENEZER Says: DEAR MISTER EDITOR: Most of the fellers at the country store Saturday night reported they was gitting a little disturbed over what the newspapers was calling this “consumerism” wave that was sweeping the country, special the way the Guvernment. was trying to tell the manufacturers what the “consumer” needed. What brung this item up was Ed Doolittle reporting he had saw where the Food and Drug Administration had made anew recermendation over the amount of peanuts that had to be put in peanut butter. Ed claimed this piece said they had been holding hearings now fer 6 year on the peanut butter matter and he figgered it had give jobs to 500 people and cost the taxpayers a million dollars, and if the jobs and money held out, we might have this peanut butter crisis going on until the turn of the next century. The manufacturers was claiming Ed reported, that they was putting some vegetable oil and such things in peanut butter so’s it would keep longer and spread bet-, ter and that was what the people wanted. But the Guvernment says it ain't what the people wants but what is good fer ’em that was their interest in the matter. Zeke Grubb was of the opinion the Guvernment claimed they was protecting the people when they wasn't doing nothing but protecting and prolonging their jobs. Clem Webster of the Great Society was disagreed, said it showed our Guvernment cared about us and was looking after the consumer. He said it had took the U. S. Department of Agriculture 7 year to come to a agreement with the manufacturers on how much chicken had ought to be put in canned chicken soup, and peanut butter was a little more complicated and natural was taking more time. Farthermore, allowed Clem, the Guvernment's protection of the consumer was moving into many fields that was bad in need of it. Fer instant, he said he had saw where they was now 169 different perfumes on the market, all claiming to smell different. Clem said they ain’t that many different kinds of smells in the world and the consumers was gitting smellwashed. Ed butted in to say, first off, folks didn't “consume” perfume and the Guvernment didn’t need to hold no 8-year hearings on the matter. Farthermore, he allowed, a heap of them new smells was being manufactured fer the men folks and if a man wanted to smell like a mustard plaster soaked in honey, it wasn’t none of the Guvernments business. Personal, Mister Editor, all I got out of the session was that pritty soon people ain't going to smell like people.

Dr. Bowen Says Property Tax Relief Is "Must" Property tax relief is a “must” for Indiana, Dr. Otis R. Bowen, Speaker of the House and candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, declared today. “The property tax in Indiana has been overloaded so long it has become almost a penalty to own your home,” Bowen said. Asa major source of dollars for local school systems the property tax is carrying far too large a proportion of the costs of education, the Bremen legislator added. “The need is for more extensive support from taxes which have a broader base,” Bowen said. “For this we need a complete reevaluation of our tax structure.” The House Speaker proposed four possible avenues for approaching property tax relief: 1. Reduce spending. 2. Permit local units of government to impose taxes other than property taxes. 3. Increase the amount of state tax funds returned to local units of government. 4. Transfer the cost of schools (or part of the cost such as tuition support) from the local level to the state level.
