SECTION TWO By WILBORNE HARRELL Took a short bus trip the other day, and I couldn’t help com paring the bus I rode in with) the ones that were operating l several years ago, when I was' working in the bus station. | Frankly, the improvement ini buses is so great, it is a waste of time to draw a comparison. Time was, a bus trip was some-1 thing of an ordeal. No conveni ences or concessions to a pas senger’s comfort, or to make his r trip enjoyable, was given the slightest consideration. You load ed a bus with passengers like • loading a truck with logs, the! driver climbed into the driver’s! seat, and away you went—willy,! nilly. Today’s buses are design ed with the passenger in mind, . his comfort, and to make his * trip a pleasant ride, and not just * a means for getting from one * place to another as painlessly as possible. A few innovations are comfortable, adjustable seats; better visibility; tinted, non-glare d'indows; heating in winter and ur-conditioning in summer. And The National Outlook “Growthmanship” By Ralph Robey Vice President Nixon made ai spefech in St. Louis before thej Junior Chamber of Commerce in [ which he spelled out in morei detail than ever before his views on economic growth. It was a good brief analysis in its own righi but even more important it attempted to distinguish be twccfci the thinking of Nixon and v hat he maintained is the op position viewpoint. His first point was that every one is in favor of growth—that this i£ a game which may well be called “growthmanship”—but that equally significant is the kind of growth and how it is > brought about. . Secondly, Mr. Nixon turned to the comparison of our growth. rate with that of Russia, and such comparisons obviously rath er annoy him. He thinks that we must never unded-estimate. the “fanatical purpose” of Rus-' sia. but'that it is inaccurate and meaningless to use the Russian growth fc-ate as a basis for ap praising that of this nation. He cites three reasons for this: The vast difference in the eco nomic advancement of the two nations', the basic and fundamen- 1 Jefferson Standard a UFE INSURANCE CO.

I. 1 One fellow told another dur-| ' ing the run-off for governor, | | “If you don’t vote like I do, | I you are a danged fool!” Hei was absolutely right, because he was going to vote as he pleas- I ed, and he was telling the other fellow to do the same. But the point is, he WAS going to vote, which was probably more than the other fellow was going jto do. The franchise is some ■ thing we take too much for [granted. But if we were sud denly deprived of our right to vote, we’d raise a howl, and rightly so. It is everyone’s duty to vote. Compare an election I to a snow storm, which is com-| posed of millions of tiny flakes. 1 No one single snowflake is im portant within itself, but in company with other flakes it can help to bring on a blizzard. Your vote, that tiny piece of paper you mark, is not import ant or has much power or' I tat variation in philosophies of ] Russia and the United States; j and the enormous difference in i total production of the two na tions—or the fact that Russia is only producing about 44 percent as much as we are; and that rate is not becoming smaller as the years pass and cannot be in creased enough to overtake the United States during this cen tury. Next, the Vice President turn ed to the proper function of gov ernment in relation to growth. . He listed six points on this: 1. Avoid as much as possible , interference with- decisions made in the private sector of the econ i omy. 2. Pursue a sound fiscal policy and prevent inflation. 3. Ant vigorously against abus ; es and economic power which I hinder efficiency and greater • * productivity. 4. Have a tax structure which will not frustrate new and crea tive enterprise. 5. Pursue economic policies abroad which are compatible with our domestic ‘philosophy. i 6. Prevent and correct wide ‘ swings in business activity by /worth as a single unit, but mix j ed with hundreds of other votes, jit can control a government. ■(That’s why communists and to ,j talitarian states have either , | outlawed the vote, or so cir ; i cumscribed it with controls that ; it becomes a hollow mockery. ■ So exercise your right to vote • every chance you get. It is not [ only your duty as a citizen— < but also a great privelege and : your right. [ THE WEST—BiII Tilghman. a , great friend cf Wyatt Earp and one of the old West’s great law , men, always made an arrest I without going for his gun. . Tilghman said an outlaw always j knew he was wrong and therc- I fore was a trifle slower than a ( lawman, who knew he was on | the right side of the law. Thej lawman always had a moral and a psychological advantage over the outlaw. Tilghman seldom , drew his gun, and then only when absolutely forced to. I *No compromise with communism' | intelligent use of fiscal policies and sensible provision against widespread unemployment. Finally, Mr. Nixon summariz ed his belief as td the proper role of government in general, not just as related to economic growth. It is his view that “where private enterprise can t or won’t do the job, government activity is not only justified but 1 essential.” But by government| he emphasized he meant Federal, state and local. He also em phasized that whenever we con sider government spending or government investment in the public sector, we must apply the test of whether the benefits will exceed the cost. This particular Nixon speech was short and unquestionably we shall hear more from him on many of these points before the campaign is over. This is high ly desirable becaues there is room for serious argument on some of the statements he made. To cite merely three examples: He polishes off the Russian com parison a bit too easily; the use of fiscal policies to prevent and correct wide business variations smacks of compensatory spend ing (which docs not work); and Seagrams VO IMPORTED CANADIAN 0 Hjj?INCE nsvjyl Seagra# I ’ *>LE»D I K.ICTEO VW»V>«* . ■§ .
