.When D*ris Wall dis
misses his platform as a
»unty commissioner can
lidate, it’s unique. '
Perhaps his stand an a
micameral government
or Charlotte-Meckjen
Hirg is something the
►ther candidates Have
ipokenfoflSr against,
ttscussion abb 1
on isn’t too ^
dther. However,
Vail’s issues p
joverament are i__r_
be national level. (
“The time has com3 for
is to establish* new goals
dr our nation that will
*P*nd our- productivity w
apacity dp our social and
noral conscience into the
texy^ntury as well as into
■mHitless reaches of our
War system/’ the pipe
pelder for Oopes-Vulcan
f He feeia the federal go
vemment is losing its
ability to direct the
growth of the economy.
“When Jack Kennedy set
for us the national goal of
sending an American to the
moon, the American spirit
and economy soared. It
disproved the notion that
dirigist economics should
only be applied in time of
war,” he pointed out.
Wall explained he is run
ning for county commis
sioner because it’s the lo
cal governments across the
nation that influence the
federal government to take
the jneasurm which are
best for the American
public. According to the
(CM^^Vtetnam ended
'wwrase smaller govern
ments put “pressure on the
federal government'’
pall proposes the new
goals which need to be es
ta Wished should provide
Third and Fourth Worlds
with the “infrastructural
. and educational networks
Da vi* Wallx
.Propose* saw goals
that will allow them to use
the technology that's avail
able today to feed their
starving population.” An
other goal includes build
ing space platforms not
just for defense but for
research and development
in communication.
The Democratic candi
date assured none “of this
can be done as long as the
banking system Is allowed
to operate outside the con
fines of the Constitution. As
long as interest rates are
kept artificially high, it will
be more profitable for busi
nesses to invest in buying
---' „■
each other out, consuming
our productive capacity,
rather than investing in
new technology, new re
sources, and expanding our
productive capacity.”
So, while Davis is con
cerned about many local
issues, he concluded, “If
elected officials on a local
and national level don’t
address these issues, the
loeal issues won’t be
city-county consolidation
and refuse problems but
what to do about dysen
tery, typhus and the mob
of unemployed in the
street.
