Sleeper Os The Century

A recent issue of Life magazine carried an editorial entitled, “Watch Out for ‘Title 19’ ”. Title 19 is a provision of medicare designed to help anybody under the age of 65 who needs medical care, but cannot afford it. In the words of Life, this provision" . . . may turn out to be the medical and fiscal sleeper of the century." Title 19 provides grants to the states from the federal government ranging from 55 per cent of medical costs in the richer states to 83 per cent in the poorest. Title 19 allows the states to provide care to the medically indigent, but is extremely vague as to who are to be considered medically indigent. Two of the first states to qualify for Title 19 aid—Oklahoma and Minnesota have set amounts ranging from $2,448 to $2,800 as the annual income below which a family is considered medically indigent. N«*w York state, on the other hand, passed a law that established $7,500 annual income and $3,000 in the bank as a

CONGRATULATIONS are , in order for the Monroe Township 4-H club dairy judging team. Representing Indiana they placed fifth out of 34 states competing at the National Dairy’ Congress at Waterloo, lowa, last week. Members of the team are Karen Ringgenberg, Ross Osborn, Roger Smoker and Robert Osborn. Their ‘coach .is Eugene Ringgenberg He reported that of the 34 teams, only two were coached by dairy farmers. The others have teachers, college professors, association men and others interested in the industry. • • • POULTRYMEN are watching the current price situation with some caution. It has continued at a high level in spite of some unsettling factors. There has been some buying resistance at the retail level as indicated by greater interest in medium and smaller grades. Military ' buying also was cut back. On the positive side, cooler wrath- I er has stimulated buying some and the opening of colleges has helped Students are good egg customers and institutions buy in big quality. Most market men had expected a break in the price level by this time, but it has happened and there is optimism now that the coming year will be a good one, even though at a lower level of prices than 1966. The income from eggs is vital to Kosciusko county. We produce somewhere around 20 million dozen a year and a price advantage of one cent means a lot. INDIANA’S 4-H club members, numbenng about 94.000. have officially completed another year. The new'year begins with national 4-H club week observances. September 24 - October 1. The Hoosier young people of this organization—largest in the 12 central states and sixth in the nation — annually work with from 150,000 to 200.000'projects. It is these projects — covering a range from bees to beef and from potatoes to personality—that form a core of the program. Topping the list in popularity, boosted heavily be continuously growing female enrollments, is the foods project. Clothing enrollment is a strong second and crafts participation, third Farm projects still account for heavy 4-H participation—beef, swine, corn, soybeans and dairy. But relatively ngw areas are as strong—electric, flowers, horse and pony, photography and wildlife. More than 40 projects are available to 4-H members. And any boy or girl between the ages of 10 and 18 may join. Enrollment cards are avatiaNe from local leaders or county extension offices. Observance of national 4-H club week, in addition to being a wrap up of activities and programs from Last fall, is the start of an enrollment period for both old and new mem-

minimum needed before a family could undertake to pay its own medical expenses. The New York law immediately qualified eight million New Yorkers for free medical car e—44 per cent of the population of the state. In some rural counties, the “indigent" would have totaled 80 per cent of the inhabitants. One county welfare director was amazed to find his own family qualified. Fortunately, the New York law was modified. But, implementing Title 19 of medicare in New York state will cost the federal government nearly >a quarter of a billion dollars this year. No one knows what the total bill for Title 19 will be when all the states have submitted their plans, but. it is a certainty that it will run into billions of dollars. As IJfe concludes. Congress should rewrite Title 19 to assist in the medical problems of those truly in need" . . . without bankrupting the rest of us.”

Electoral College Outdated. Bayh Says

INDIANAPOLIS, — Senator Birch Bayh tD-Ind J told the Indianapolis Bar Association that, “Ignorance more than any other factor is responsible for the survival of our outdated electoral college vote system.” Speaking at the association’s dinner meeting September 21 in the Columbia club, the Senator explained, “If the American people knew about the artificial voting arrangement by which their President is chosen, they would demand that something be done to modernize the system.” Bayh, chairman of the Senate subcommittee on constitutional amendments, introduced an amendment earlier this year to abolish the electoral college system and provide for direct popular election of a President. He has indicated that he will push for its adoption early next year. “From township trustee to county clerk, to members of Congress, to Governors of the 50 states,’ Bayh said, “each person has the right to cast his vote directly for the candidates of his choice — except in the election of the most important office in the United Sates, the President.” “The electoral college system tinder which we now operate,” Bayh said, usually means winner-take-all. A state’s electors Vote for the winning candidate, whether that candidate carries the state by one vote or one million votes. Thus, we get a very’ unreal picture of the actual popular vote.” “Another problem caused by the electoral progress,” Bayh said, “is lack of uniformity. Some states require their electors to vote for the candidate who polls the most popular votes. Other states do not bind their electors to any candidate.”

‘"Hie lack of a uniform Constitutional procedure,” Bayh added, “leaves the door open to partisan political manipulations.” “As die system now stands.” Bayh said, “in the majority of the states, the electors are theoretically independent — that is they can vote for he candidate of their choice regardless of the wishes of the voters of their state. This inadequacy has caused problems in several recent Presidential elections — 1944. 1952, 1956 and in 1960 where the “Southern Free Elector Plan” threatened to make bargaining — exchanging concessions for the votes of the unpledged Southern electors —a part of the electoral process.’ Calling himself “a recent convert” to the idea of direct popidar election of the President, the Indiana Senator said. “I am convinced that in our modem society, unlike

that of the period when our Constitution was written, the voters are well-informed and capable of choosing their own President. They do not need the archaic electoral college to temper their decision. It is time we adopted a system of direct popular election.” Bayh will spend Thursday in Indianapolis and Logansport, and on Friday will visit Logansport, Indianapolis and Bloomington. He will return to Washington late Friday following the speech of Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey at Indiana university.
