Nixon's The One President - elect Richard Nixon’s early campaign slogan, “Nixon’s The One,” stood in doubt for a long time by a good many Americans, but at last it can be said all America has adopted it. For a long time his popular margin of victory appeared smaller than that of John Kennedy in 1960, but later returns showed his win by a wider margin. There can be no doubt about his election r.s the next President of the United States. He came a long way, and against odds that seemed insurmountable — at least in November 1962. But he did it, and now he’s to be the President of all Americans. All Americans of good will, will rally behind him in his effort to crack some of the country’s most critical problems, here and abroad. His administration may and may not be a coalition government, but, ever the politician, he will move to consolidate his gains with an eye on 1972. No one can deny him this chance; this, too, is as American as apple pie.

Hunter ■ Fanner Relations

Before setting out on a trip this season, hunters would do well to review guidelines for better relations with farmers and landowners, says Gary Larson, district supervisor, bureau of sport fisheries and wildlife at Purdue university, and we couldn’t agree more. Hunting on another man’s land is a privilege. Abuse of it usually results in loss of a place to hunt. On the other hand, common sense and a little courtesy will go a long way toward improving relationships between farmers and hunters. Larson lists these simple rules of courtesy for hunters: 1. Never hunt on lSnd not your own without permission. Request first. The landowner or farm tenant has a right to grant or refuse.

From Promise To Reality

Today, when your dentist says, “you’ll hardly feel this” . . . you can believe him. He doesn’t have to kid you since painless dentistry is a virtual reality now. In the past two decades, refinements and innovations both in equipment and technique have removed the agony from those once dreaded hours under the dental spotlight. And this relief is appreciated by the dentist as well. Case in point . . . the dental drill. As recently as 10 years ago, operating speed was 30,000 revolutions per minute. The patient was then subjected to a great deal of uncomfortable pressure and vibration. Today’s drills turn at from 200,000 to 300,000 rpm’s. Result: faster, lighter, more efficient drilling. Most modern dental drills are also equipped with built-in air or water cool-

President-Elect RICHARD M. NIXON There should be little doubt but that his predecessor, Lyndon Johnson, will lead those to wish Mr. Nixon well. For no one knows better the consequences if Nixon should fail in this trying hour.

2. Don’t impose upon a farmer by hunting with a large party or when another group is already on the land. 3. Keep guns and dogs in the car uidl permission is granted. 4. Ask about farm boundaries before venturing into the field. Also note location of livestock and perishable crops sjuch as soybeans, alfalfa, clover, etc. 5. Use care with fences. Farmers don’t' appreciate having their fences damaged. Always close gates. Rounding up livestock isn’t much fun. 6. Keep dogs under control at alt times. 7. Be sure you do not fire guns in the direction of livestock or buildings. Remember, thoughtlessness has caused much private land to be posted.

ing mechanisms to combat heat and remove unpleasantness from the former “drilling ordeal.” Dentists themselves cont ; i ually strive toward making their own technique painstaking, but painless. For example . . . mi. iy dentists practice controlled cuts with their drills on the shell of an uncooked egg. The object is to cut through the shell without puncturing the delicate membrane just inside the shell. This is just one rather dramatic way that your dentist prepares himself for the job of repairing your teeth. A visit to the dentist is no longer a painful experience to be constantly postponed or avoided. It is, as always, a vital factor in preserving your teeth. See your dentist regularly, at least twice a year. — Hoosier Democrat

Know Your Indiana Low By JOHN J. DILLON jtfWk Attorney General dEKHrah This is a public service article explaining provisions of /Indiana law in general terms.

to 1967, the Indiana Legislature passed a bill which gives Indiana taxpayers a tax credit for contributions to Indiana colare not permitted to claim a credit is to be applied to your Indiana income tax. , The law allows a credit in an amount equal to 50 per cent of all contributions you have made to Indiana colleges and universities during the taxable year. It should be noted that this is a tax credit rather than a tax deduction. A deduction would allow you to reduce your taxable income by a certain amount before computing your tax, and a 23 dollar deduction would result in lowering your taxes by t lly two per cent of that amount, or 50 cents. A credit of 25 dollars, in contrast, is subtracted from the tax you otherwise owe, and would actually reduce the amount of tax you owe by 25 dollars. However, you, as an individual are not permitted to claim a credit larger than 20 per cent of your total Indiana income tax, or 50 dollars, whichever is less. In

most cases, 50 dollars will be the limit. Only a taxpayer with a taxable income of more than $12,500 per year after all deductions need be concerned about the 20 per cent limit. A corporation is not permitted to clium a credit larger than five per cent of its total Indiana income tax, or SSOO, whichever is less. If you desire to obtain the credit, you should claim it on your annual Indiana income tax return. The booklet containing your tax return will also contain a schedule and instructions for claiming the credit. Those taxpayers who itemize their personal deductions on their federal income tax return, rather than take the standard deduction, are, of course, entitled to the normal deduction for contributions of this type on their federal return. This deduction provided by the federal government and the tax credit provided by the state of Indiana add up to a substantial tax saving for the contributor to Indiana colleges and universities.

SPEECHES MADE by Governor - elect Edgar D. Whitcomb, 51, and his record as a state Senator and Secretary of State, give clues as to what we may expect of him over his up-coming four years in office. Whitcomb is a conservative rather than a liberal. He is surrounded by conservatives in top echelon of the powerful Republican political machine that he rode to office. It is difficult to believe that he can keep some of the promises he made in his campaign drive for votes. On the other hand he has some strong assets. The Republican party of which he is now titular head in Indiana is more united than anytime in decades. Furthermore, for the first time in 12 years, a governor’s party has undisputed control of both House and Senate of the state Legislature. It will convene January 9. THIS DOES NOT guarantee that his veto cannot be overriden in the Legislature on such matters as a pay raise for assemblymen. or even on major tax proposals. Whitcomb’s campaign promise to hold the line on tax increases and to reduce state SDending are going to be most difficult to live ud to in the four years ahead. Those who know state government costs best predict that the legislature that m°ets January 9 will have to find additional tax revenues. Gathered from his campaign speeches, here are some of the

The net result of all of this is, that the average Indiana taxpayer can make a SIOO contribution to an Indiana college of his choice for less than S2O. As a trustee of Marian college in Indianapolis, I can tell you that this type of contribution is the hope of the small private college in this state.

views that we may expect Whitcomb to try to carry out in the four vears ahead. 4 Whitcomb has said he would veto and boost in gross or sales taxes, major revenue sources of the general fund. HE STATED he generally favor'd increase from the six cents per gallon on gas for highway construction. He promised to build additional arterial highwavs. He is considered favorable to “local option” taxes that will permit local communities to raise additional revenue and shift the oversize load from high property taxes. He hopes to work out a method for levying an excise tax, instead of property tax, on cars and collecting same when plates are purchased. Whitcomb is on record as supporting a boost from a present 34 per cent of state support to local schools to 50 per cent. He has not pledged to pressure the 1969 Legislature for this, but that it might be done in the last year of his administration. WHITCOMB IS considered to be against any significant increase in appropriations for our four state supported universities. Purdue, Indiana, Ball State and Indiana State. He said October 8 he is considering increases in fees for students of our state universities, but did not commit himself. The governor elect is for a much sterner handling of the minority of demonstrators and rebellious students in our universities. He pledged he would

NIBBLING — According to Purdue university, Americans are popping tidbits into their mouths at the rate of $2 BILLION A YEAR. We are NIBBLING our way through meetings, coffee breaks and television shows. By constantly snacking, we are creating a marketing miracle of profitable business for supermarkets. Crunching snacks is costly to consumers both in money and in CALORIE COSTS. CHECK the following list as a start to see whether you can afford — BOTH MONEW-wise and CALORIE-wise — to shop for snacks: _ ; Monay Calorie Food Cost Cost Apple » 8c 70 Candy bar 5c 150 10 potato chips 5c 115 5” wedge pizza (sausage 38c 310 5” wedge pizza (cheese) 21c- 185 Vz cup ice cream 6c 1(16 8 oz.

But before you purchase snacks for your family, plan how much you can spend both in money and calories, warns Purdue’s expert Jan Armstrong. * * * COLD PREVENTION — THINK of the money and misery you’d save if you never caught a jold. There are TRICKS to avoiding colds that DON’T COST A, PENNY. First, remember that you get a cold in only one way—- — someone who already has one. A cold sufferer sprays germs into the air with every cought or sneeze, or he may leave them on drinking glasses, or PASS THEM THROUGH KISSING.

IHETS is four state universities and their regional campuses and the medical center in Indianapolis to share and to mobilize their educational resoures, through use of telephone, television and computer networks. SUTCC (State Universities Telecommunication Coordinating Council) is composed of representatives from administration, faculty and television production centers of the state universities.

Republicans Os 96th General Assembly To Meet Nov. 27 INDIANAPOLIS - Republican members of the 96th Indiana General Assembly will meet in GOP state headquarters here on Wednesday, Nov. 27, to choose their leaders in both houses. The caucuses were announced by state chairman Buena Chan ey. who said the Senate members will meet at 11 a.m. and the members of the House of Representatives at 2 p.m. Both times are Eastern Standard. The 35 Republican State Senators will elect a president pro tern and a caucus chairman. They also will select, from outside their membership, a secretary, chief doorkeeper and postmaster. The 73 GOP representatives will elect a Speaker of the House, a majority leader and a caucus chairman, and will select a principal clerk, chief doorkeeper and postmaster. Next year, Republicans will have majorities in both houses in the General Assembly for the first time since the 1963 session, when the GOP controlled the House, 56-44, and the Senate, 2624. However, the last session n which the GOP had more than a marginal edge in both houses was in 1957, with a 75-24 majority in the House and a 33-17 majority in the Senate. The Republicans have managed in just four years to switch the Assembly ratios from heavily Democratic to heavily Republican. In 1966, It was TB-22 in the House and 35-15 in the Senate for the Democrats. The 1969 session will have GOP majorities of 73-27 in the House and 35-15 in the Senate. Chaney said the Republican members of the Assembly are meeting earlier than usual so that the party leaders in both houses will be selected before the pre - legislative conference, which is set for December 10-11-12.

appoint as university trustees only men and women who pledge in advance to expel students who injure persons or destroy property in demonstrations. He favors a board of regents or a comparable board to coordinate academic and budgetary construction programs of our state supported universities. WHITCOMB, AN attorney, has deep convictions on law, order and crime increase. He sa’d of enforcing state anti - gambling laws: “If local law enforcement officials are either unwililng or incapable of enforcing our state laws, including gambling laws, I would have no great hesitation using state police to enforce those laws. As to capital punishment, he said: “I would be in favor of abolishing capital punishment if it w~re demonstrated that its abolition would not lessen the deterrents toward crime.” He will work directly with federal officials in trying to straighten out Indiana’s time problem. Whitcomb has pledged deep involvement of private business industry and our institutions of higher learning in state affairs. He has launched several task forces to study how to combat crime, promote highway safety, and devise new methods. He believes that the results obtained will save the state $25 to SSO million dollars a year. There are government experts who claim that such studies in tfce past have been ignored and , that such is the dream advanced by all new governors.
