GEO. R. DALE, Publisher flit; West Main Street Muncie, Indiana, Friday, Oictober 27, 1950. Democrats Help Farmers Clarence J. McCormick, Under Secretary of Agriculture, outlined to Hoosier farmers in a series of speeches this week the benefits they have received under Democratic National Administrations. At the same time, the Hoosier-born Under Secretary ripped Republican efforts to “wreck” the farm program in the 80th Congress, the only Republican Congress since 1933 “Before 1933,” Mr. McCormick told farm audiences in Johnson, Sullivan, Randolph and other Indiana Counties, “Agriculture operated under a hit-and-miss, dog-eat-dog, devil-take-the-hind-most system that left the farmer at the mercy of speculating profiteers and blind economic forces. We threw that system out the window. “In it’s place we built a policy of wise use of the land, of cooperation among farmers, of credit aids to farmers who need them, and of production balanced against demand. “When I say “we” did these things — I mean thinking farmers and city folks and Democratic Leaders all over the country did them.” Mr. McCormick warned that there was danger in taking for granted that Republicans would continue the same program the Democratic Party started and which has brought about Agricultural prosperity. “As soon as the Republican Congress took office in 1947 Mr. McCormick said “they slashed the Agriculrutal Conservation Program in half despite the fact that their platform had promised a sound program on Conservation. “The House of Representatives, dominated by Republicans and with a floor leader from Indiana, actually voted to wipe out the Conservation Program altogether. Nevertheless, in their 1948 platform, the Republicans were still promising soil conservation. “The Republican 80th. Congress in 1947 slashed the budget for Rural Electrification. “In 1948, an election yfear, they increased the leading authority, but cut down the administrative funds for carrying out the program. “That same Republican Congress cut down credit assistance to small farmers, wiped out the authority of the Commodity Credit Corporation to buy or lease land for the construction of storage bins for grain crops, slashed the budget of the Research and Marketing Administration by 50 per cent the first year and by one third the second year. “If anybody ever had a good case for Breach of Promise, the American farmer has one against the Republican Party and the 80th Congress.” Domestic issues , We are approaching an important national election at a time when world affairs seem of paramount importance. The rapid and dramatic course of events in Korea commands our daily interest and attention. Beyond Korea, our deepest aspirations and hopes are for the attainment of security and peace in the world. But we cannot ignore the real domestic issues that are at stake in the November elections. In fact, we cannot separate the domestic from the international issues even if we attempt to do so. Our hopes for security and peace are inextricably bound up with our

efforts to preserve a strong and stable economy in our own country. For the past seventeen years we have had national administrations which have believed that the power and authority of the people, operating through their government, can and should be used to “promote the common welfare.” Under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman the powers of government have been used in the interest of farmers, workers, businessmen and consumers. Our natural resources have been developed and conserved through programs of reclamation, reforestation, soil conservation, and the public development of hydroelectric power. Our hum^n resources have been protected by increased governmental activity in the fields of education, health and housing by the adoption of the Social Security system. Farmers have been assured of reasonable prices, and workers have won the right of collective bargaining. All of these measures have helped us to achieve the greatest and most widely distributed prosperity and the most stable democratically ruled economy that the world has ever known. Some have watched this progress with misgiving and alarm. We have been warned of the danger of bankruptcy and against trends to socialism, communism, statism and bureaucratic domination. Yet our schools, our churches, our individual freedoms, have never been more secure than they are now. One of the things that is at stake in this election is whether we shall continue to go forward along this well-charted road of progress or whether we shall become afraid and turn back.

Wheat's The Score? President Truman told the people of America in 1948 that if they would elect a Democratic 81st Congress it would undo the damage done by the 80th Congress and put the country back on the road of progress. The people did what the President recommended and the 81st Congress has done what the President promised. Where the Republican 80th Congress destroyed or crippled programs for the benefit of our people, the Democratic congress has restored and strengthened these programs. And after restoring the damage done by the 80th Congress, the 81st Congress moved forward with new programs needed in the public welfare. This is proof that the people of America knew what they were doing when they voted Democratic in 1948. This is proof that wherd the 80th Congress sold out to the big lobbies, the 81st Congress restored government of, by, and for the people. The Demcoratic Party remains the Party of the American people. Fleming Deserves Apology Secretary of State Charles F. Fleming says that the photostat of a petition which he is supposed to have signed in 1946 asking the state to put the Communist Party on the Indiana ballot is a forgery. We believe him and because we do, we think he is deserving of an apology from the Republican Party of state for whatever part it played in disseminating the photostats. This newspaper did not reproduce the photostatic copy of the alleged signature, but we were innocently taken in to the extent of printing a speech in which the speaker treated the photostat as authentic and to the extent of commenting editorially on the accusation in a manner that attached credence to it. Whoever is responsible for what we believe now to be a forgery should rate a public punishment. God knows there is no lack of ammunition to throw against both the state and the National Democratic administration. Why in the world then should anyone stoop to tactics that are discreditable? As far as we are concerned, Mr. Fleming, we are sorry it happened.

From where I sit... Ay Joe Marsh

We Ask That "Fares" Play Fair

Judge Cunningham was telling about a taxi ride he took over to the County, Seat last week. The cab was all littered with cigarette butts, plus candy and gum wrappers. This annoyed the Judge and he spoke to the driver about it. To his surprise the cabman answered right back. "Don’t blame me,” he said "Fast as I cWar this taxi out, the fares just mess it up again. I like a clean cab as well as anybody, but a man has to have some co-operation! ” Judge figures the fellow was in the right, and maybe we ought to

do a little campaigning with the public. I agree with him—that’s why I’m writing this article. From where I sit, it’s important for us to remember the fellow who’s going to get in the cab after we leave it. Because he pays the same as we do, he’s got the same right to a clean, comfortable ride— just as he has the same right to enjoy the beverage of his choice (be it coffee, beer, lemonade, or what have you).

(Continued from Page One) cities of Indianapolis, Gary. South Bend, Fort Wayne and Evansville for two full days of meetings, lectures and discussions on Thursday and Friday they will be faced with the problem of drafting legislative resolutions designed to help meet the difficulties in operating Indiana schools in the face of rising costs and inreeasing enrollments. A survey of school enrollments in Indiana public schools just completed by the State Association reveals that the total number of pupils in our schools is increasing by approximately 15,000 pupils a year in grades one through twelve. It is estimated that this trend will result in an approximate increase of thirty per cent in the enrollment in the Indiana public schools in the near future. The increasing enrollment alone would necessitate approximately 500 additional classrooms and 500 additional teachers each year for the next several years, it was revealed. Robert H. Wyatt, executive secretary of the Association, stated that the Association Research Service, the Legislative and Resolutions Committee, and the Indiana School Study Commission are exploring this situation thoroughly with the view that adequate financial assistance will be provided by the forthcoming Indiana General Assembly to meet the school needs of the boys and girls of this state. The situation is described by Mr. Wyatt as acute. He stated thrt the problem is general throughout Indiana and that in order to take care of the situation properly and in time that a substantial increase in the state appropriation for public schools must not be delayed. Mr. Wyatt pointed out that the State of Indiana now appropriates 53 million dollars a year to local school corporations. This amount, he explained, is 12 million dollars short of the 65 milion dollars recommended by the State Association and the Inoiana School Study Commission to the 1949 Indiana General Assembly, the amount that was then

required.

He said that data compiled by the Association indicate cleariy that many of the children of Indiana have been denied certain educational opportunities these last two years because the necessary appropiation was not provided. In hundreds of schools throughout the state, the Association executive secretary points out, the classes are badly overcrowded. Many of them have 45 and 50 pupils per ropm. Over fifty per cent have more than the accepted standard for an efficient learning situation. Thirty per class, he said, is considered an absolute maximum by most

educators.

HOOSIER (Continued from Page One) be the boss of the Republican Party, however, does not rest with either of the Senators. It rests with the voters and with Alex Campbell, the Democrat wo is bidding strongly to dump Mr. Capehart out of the Senate —money or no money. The GOP has been enduring factional pains for several years, now. Mr. Campbell may prove to be the doctor who will cure the pains for them. While GOP supporters would be unhappy, they could count at least one blessing in defeat—they would have two whole years to devote exclusively v to the question of who is going to be boss.

QUESTIONS (Continued from Page One) will surely pin his ears back with the charge that he is against good medical and hospital care for everybw — The truth is that both questions are unfair. They are the kind of questions only asked by somebody who has already made up his mind what the answer should be. In the case of virtually every questionnaire put out to politicians, the group that puf out the questionnaire chose the questions and asked them in such a way that their own party would loofc best. The questionnaires are carecarefully planned, as were the two examples above, to make reply easy for one who shares the questioner’s point of view and difficult for anyone who takes the opposite view. The solution to the dilemma of the wife-beating questions, fortunately, is simple. Again let us use the example of the health issue. Democrats, while they may differ on how it should be done, are committed solidly to one basic idea. They believe that the medical know-how in this country is terrific, but there isn’t enough of it to go around, it costs too much, and something should be done to provide more care at lower costs. Republicans are committed to the idea that, whether there is a problem or not, Government should stay out of it. They favor letting the medical profession solve the problem, if any, in its own way and at its own speed. The simple solution, then, is for each voter to ask himself, on this issue and on every other campaign issue, just what each party offers, if anything. Then all he has t6 do is to decide which offer he likes best. Anyway, it sounds simple, doesn’t it?

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Everlasting Punishnient” is the subject of ,the Lesson-Sermon in all Cnurches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, October 29. The Golden Text is: “The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity’’ (Proverbs 10:29). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (James 4:8, 10). "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any shoufii perish, but that all should come to repentance” (II Peter 3:9). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “The moral law, which has the right to acquit or condemn, always demands restitution before mortals can ‘go up higher.’ Broken law brings penalty in order to compel this progress” (p. 11). "Belief in material suffering causes mortals to retreat from their error, to flee from body to Spirit, and to appeal to divine sgurces outside of themselves” (p. 405).

® Is It really ‘free’. . . something for nothing? Or will it cost you more than you’re-paying now? If Socialized Medicine comes in, going to the doctor as you know it will be a thing of the past. The government pays for every call, every patient, every pill. But, as a taxpayer, you foot the bill. For example, if the payroll tax is 4 per cent, a truck driver making $3,000 contributes $120—oyer and above his already staggering tax burden. If it is 10 per cent, which is more likely, it means an extra deduction of $300 from his pay. And all you get for the money is second-rate medical care—cheap medical care palmed off at a high price. Our Nation’s health is at an all-time high under the present system. Let’s keep it that way. Let those who represent you in Washington know you are against government control of medical services. Remember, it’s your health . . . and your money.

That’s not just idle talk—the average housewife works 63 hours a week. And she performs 70 different tasks in one day’s work. Which is proof positive (if anybody needs it!) that housekeeping is a rugged job! Of course, today’s housewife has electric helpers to lend a hand and take much heavy work out of housework. But even the finest gadgets need something else —cheap, dependable electric service to give them life and usefulness.

That’s why it’s a compliment that housewives take electricity for granied. You flip a switch and know electricity is ready. You can take its economy for granted, too. For electricity is just about the smallest item in your family budget. It costs less than a pack of cigarettes a day, yet it helps you sew, cook, clean/wash and iron, guards your health, entertains you. What else gives you so much living value—at §uch little cost?
