Stop runaway spending

Dear Editor. When does his wild runaway spending stop? I thought the last time the Reagans went to California on vacation it would ♦ stop for a while. But after his June 30 news conference. 1 hear on the news July 1 where they left again for their ranch in the sky. and I saw red' Reagan made the statement that if the Congress stopped its

wild runaway spending that the economy would straighten out, that the people of America would realize a small increase in their take-home pay starting July 1 Big deal, so what is he doing to cut down wild spending? Do you realize. Mr Reagan, how much you cost the taxpayer everytime you unnecessarily fly to California or don't you care? Where you are concerned, it s not

do as I do! Do as I say! Everyone cuts back and curbs wild spending but you. When you bought your way to Washington, was it only for the glory of being called Mr. president? You certainly haven't improved the image of that title any. If you love California so much why didn’t there? Maybe you could have run for governor again. The way you are going, by the time your term of President is over, you may not be so popular there again. 71)31 is if the majority of the people being used by you wake up in time. Mr. Reagan. I don’t mean to sing an old song so much but, it seems that the home in Washington that the people of the United States furnish is elegant for you and Nancy, and should be used. You wanted it so much when you were campaigning for

Need amendment

Dear Editor: Recently I read an article, “Pastors Respond to (President Reagan's) Prayer Amendment.” Apparently, many ministers are uninformed on this overall issue. I thank God that President Reagan sees the need for this amendment. The only purpose of this amendment is to partly undo the 1962 Supreme Court ruling when they (our government) became involved in religion by prohibiting state sponsored prayer. State sponsored silent prayer was also included.

Quayle Reports From The Senate

WASHINGTON, DC. - After more than a year of hard work and negotiations, the Quayle Training for Jobs bill cleared the Senate Thursday afternoon with a unanimous 95-toO vote. . US Senator Dan Quayle (RInd), a member of the labor and human resources committee and chairman of the subcommittee on employment and productivity, described the training bill as one of the major pieces of domestic legislation to pass the Congress this year. Under provisions of the new legislation, Indiana will fare

Or did ypirleave your ax out in back of the woodshed, and you will spend part of your vacation polishing it so you can give us the old heaveho again.

This amendment is not legislating prayer of any type to any school. It’s letting it up mostly to the local school district and teachers whether or not to have prayer, and if choose to do so, no student can be forced to participate. It must be voluntary. The amendment is needed because some humanists and or liberals have misrepresented the Supreme Court ruling, to prohibit all prayer and Bible classes from educational schools. They have forced the stopping of local voluntary prayer and voluntary Bible classes in some schools thoughout our beloved country. Also, some local schools and teachers fear that they will be hauled off to court, etc., if they have voluntary prayer and Bible reading. It was stated that voluntary prayer was the only acceptable prayer. If this is all our first amendment means in this aspect, then it’s meaningless; even the Soviet Union students have this so-called freedom to pray Our first amendment gives us the exercise of religion, not just thinking, but acting upon our belief. When some students and or teachers want to have voluntary prayer or voluntary Bible reading at a reasonable time in a public educational system, they need and have the freedom and right to do so without any fears. I strongly believe that we will find the prayer amendment is a primary step to return our country to higher morals. Also, government can do everything right when it comes to the economy, defense. Communists, etc., this would all be in vain if our beloved country is not motivated to return to higher morals. Please consider the contents. President Reagan needs our support. May I remind you, teaching the concept of God and His Word gives students the basis to determine right from wrong. Chauncey L. Bennett 72850 CR 23 New Paris

better than under the old CETA program. The Quayle bill provides for Indiana’s share of the funding to increase by about $6-million to approximately sllß- - in fiscal 1983.. That will guarantee the continuation of the Atterbury Job Corps Center and provide training for about 50,000 Hoosiers. In addition, another 16,000 Hoosier young people will be able to participate in the summer jobs program. The bill had administration support as well as bi partisan support in the Senate, and was passed out of subcommittee 7-to-0 and approved in the full labor committee on a vote of 16-to-0. Senator Quayle proudly pointed to the bipartisan support for his bill and said, “That underscores the 0 significance of the legislation.” The bill was originally cosponsored by Senators Kennedy,' Hatch, Pell and Hawkins. During debate in the Senate Thursday, Quayle emphasized the importance of replacing the old and less than successful Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). He argued the need for a nationwide training program that Concentrated its resources on training and not income transfers. The new Training for Jobs bill is based on four basic principles, Quayle explained. First, he said, the new legislation provides for the involvement of the private sector in th'e design and administration of training programs. Second. Quayle said, the new bill recognizes the role of the state and adheres to the concept of federalism. The third principle may be the most important one, Quayle indicated. “It guarantees a true training program, and prohibits the use of any funds for public service jobs or any other income maintenance program,” according to Quayle. And finally, the legislation demands results. Sen. Quayle said the old CETA system had no way of effectively measuring program results or penalizing failing programs. “The new legislation will provide standards for judging the programs by what they accomplish,” Quayle said. Quayle has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the bill, saying, “It is vital to the youth, the poor and workers who have no hope of being recalled to their former jobs. ” The legislation provides for training of disadvantaged young people > and retraining of dislocated workers. And it mandates that at least 70-cents of every dollar earmarked for the program be spent on actual training. Under the old CETA bill, as little as 18-cents of every dollar was spent on training. The House of Representatives still must approve a training bill, and then a House-Senate conference committee will begin the task of bringing the two measures into a form acceptable to both Houses and the President.

Washington Watch Sen. AH Dick Lugar

Senator Dick Lugar (R-lnd) today announced he will attempt to end a “billion dollar porkbarrel that has been subsidizing Western water development at the expense of the taxpayers, Midwestern farmers and those concerned with water conservation.'* “Indiana and the Midwest enjoy a tremendous advantage over our so-called Sunbelt competitors in our access to a plentiful water supply,” Lugar said. “The rush of industry westward is already running up against a scarcity of this precious commodity. Industry will turn back to us in the years ahead, provided we can break a pattern of federal public works spending and direct subsidies that historically have cushioned the Western states against the effects of their water problems. These policies may once have been sensible, but the states they benefit are no longer destitute and it is time for fair play.” Lugar said untold billions of dollars have been spent since 1902, when the first Water Reclamation Act passed Congress, to subsidize water development in the West. “Although the. original act was intended to help small fanners with no more than 320 acres and required that subsidies be repaid, neither has happened,” said Lugar. “The average farm now being subsidized by the taxpayers is acres and the government receives on the average of no more than 16

Although the 1982 session of the General Assembly adjourned February 20, much of the study and background work for future legislation is taking place now as various legislative interim study committees hold meetings, according to State Senator John Augsburger(R-Syracuse). Several new interim study committees were created by the legislature this past session, and several others are continuing their work from the 1981 interim. One of the committees continued from last year is the Interim Study Committee on Corrections. Faced with overcrowded prisons and growing inmate populations the state is looking at a variety of options to ease the situation. At the first meeting committee members heard testimony on county chargebacks, local sentencing alternatives and general testimony from Department of Corrections officials. Two new committees were established this interim to discuss separate utility questions. The Utility Costs Committee has begun reviewing such topics as electric company territorial exchanges, the “construction work in progress” issue and company rate differences. The committee plans to hear testimony from utilities, consumers and regulators. The Committee on Measured Telephone Service will study the question of a rate structure for local telephone exchanges. Another issue facing review by a legislative panel this summer is the Indiana drainage code. The committee will evaluate the costs of maintaining drains and Items reported stolen Leesburg resident Mrs. Dean Coverstone, r 2. reported to police recently that a 10-foot section of a wooden pier, two rakes and a shovel were stolen from a shed on Huckleberry Island at Webster Lake.

percent back." Pressure by small farm and farmworker groups to enforce the 1902 law has forced Congress to reform the Water Reclamation Act. The House has already passed a bill, and the Senate is considering 5.1867. “Both bills, however, do little more than legislatively ratify and extend into the future the enormous subsidies that have been permitted for virtually all irrigated farms regardless of size." Lugar said. Lugar said he will join with Senator William Proxrnire (DWis ) to amend the Senate bill to require full interest payments on the cost of Western water development subsidies. Lugar estimated the Luga rProx mire amendment would save the taxpayers more that 8375 million in the next five years. “It will also go a long way to putting Indiana and the Midwest back on equal footing with the South and the West," Lugar said. “Our farmers, our workers, our cities and. towns can compete with anybody in the world, but not if we are forced to subsidize our competitors to our detriment. There must be a level playing field, and Congress must make sure the play is fair."
