W. havi- t-ied from tirmfe to ttone
1n It's co'utun to provide a more
<r-ccc r -lure of our public ser
vants. and so this week we are do
ing a brief sketch of one of our
favorite Congressmen, Sen. Willis
A. Robertson of Virginia.
&n. Robertson is chairman of
the powerful Banking and Currency
Committee, which has jurisdiction
over the Securities and Exchange
Commission Small Business Ad- i
ministration, Export-Import Bank.
Export Controls. Price and Wage
Controls of the Defcnst Production
Act, Consumer Credit Controls, i
Sousing and all Securities Legisla
tion. the Federal Reserve Board,
and the National Banking Act.
What Are Senators Made Of?
At a public meetbig of the Ways
and Means Commits of the House t
in 1941. my wife remarked: "The
fourth man on the Democratic side
has such a sp!endid personality; it j
accents kindliness and even a de
gree of serenity. WTio is he?"
When I called on this gentleman !
his sixth term as a member of the
other Representative Robertson in
House) I learned hat his father
father was a Baptist minister, a
ripe scholar who could read the
Bible fluently in Greek, Latin and
Hebrew; that he devoted the best
/ears of his life as a home mis
sionary serving mountain churches
in southwest Virgina, or as Rep.
ary serving mountain churches in
Robertson expressed it at that
tone, "He rode a mule all over
those mountains so as to preach
in small Churches."
As a result of this heritage Sen.
iRobterson has been an active mem
ber of the Senate Wednesday
1 breakfast group which discusses
: Bihlical teachings, and he tries to
serve the Nation in a mammer
p .-asing to the Lord.
While a member of the House
Ways and Means Committee, in
which all tax legislation must ori
i ginate. the Virginia statesman help
ed write 12 tax bills, . steenad the
I Hull Reciporal Trade Agreements
i Program, was largely responsible
for simpificatioo of income tax
forms, and for tte "pay-as-you-go"
tax plan.
Economy la Government
His fiscal studies first aa a
member and then as chairman of
the House Ways.; and M^ans Com
mittee, served him well on the
Senate Banking and Currncy Com
mute on which he served 12 years
before becoming Chairman, and in
bis work as member of five Senate
Appropriations subcommittees
which handled 96 per cent of the |
total budget.
I know from long personal rela
tions with the Senator, that he has
consistently worked for economy
and a balanced budget , while at
the same time sporsoring relatively
inexpensive but vital items which
have been of great assstance to
farmers.
Although Son. Robertson has re
ceived numerous plaudits for this
effective work on the several im
portant financial committes of
Congress, in the opinion of this
writer his religious heritage and
religious activities are responsible
for his absolute integrity and fair
ness at all times.
.We are most fortunate in having
such a large number of men and
women as Congressmen and Sena
tors who likewise have religious
backgrounds and who are noted for
their honesty, and devotion. Just
to list the names of these men
would more than fill this col
umn.

Urges Lower Taxes
To Create
New Jobs By 1965
A lowering of income taxes and
changes in the capital-gains tax
are urged by a financial expert to
Keep our presctn 67 million workers
employed and to find 20 million ad
ditional jobs for Americans who
will be added to the labor force in
the next 16 years.
Roswell Ma gill, former Under
Secretary of the Treasury and
now President of the Tax Founda
tion, outlines thfs^ proposals.
Magill says it takes about $14,000
I in new capital to create one new
I job in industry and that tax chang
es to encourage rather than dis
courage the starting of new enter
prises are needed. He points oat
that the peak 91 percnt In the pres
ent Income tax schedule is the
"highest personal-income-t a x-rate
known in the world."
"The government can stimulate
economic growth," he writes, "by
adopting a tax system that leaves
private investors with enough sav
ings and enough encouragement to
promote vigorous private enter
prise . . .All rafos should be re
duced. Setting the range of rate*
> at 16 to 64 percent would be a
great improvemnt over the present
span of 10 to 91 percent.
"We know that such a cut In
tax rates would encourage econo
mic expansion, for K has done bo
wherever K has been tried In the
past. A reduction In rate* alio
would produce mow itin? lor

Sell -Employed Farmers Musi
Report
If a self employed farmer has
earnings of P00, he must file a
social security tax report. Ev??n if
his actual net earnings are less
than $400, he may file a report
and have bis earnings credited for
aro at least $600. He still has time
social security if his gross earnings
to report for the years starting
with 1956. If he doesn't report these
back years, he will loose social
security credit. His benefits will
be lower when he applies. Farmers
who reached retirment age in last
January will need more than two
years under social security to get
benefits.
Will you please remind your
neighbors to make his performance
report.
Savings Bonds Sales
Near 35 Million
The sales of Series E and H
Savings Bonds in North Carolina
during September totaled 13,498,
613.
In Cherokee County, sales for
September were $8,109.65. For the
year. County sales amount -to $172,
131.95. which is 70.3 per cent of the
county's quota.
"Every indication points to an
ncrease in savings bonds as the
public becomes fully awane of the
new Interst rate of 3% per cent,"
said F. D. Wtiitaker, County Vol
unteer Chairman who released this i
report. i
government tax 'take'."
Magill also urges revision of the
capital-gains tax, perhaps applying
to the sale of investments the same
treatmen now appild of sales of
dences-to the extent that the pro- ,
ceeds are reinvested, no taxable is
recognized. "Thus new investments
would be made possibl," he ex
plains, "and new jobs would re
sult."
