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

even rest rooms they have got,:

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

THE MEN WHO

Behind every Presidential can
