Three P’s: There are a great many loose statements being made by poli ticians which have an emotional appeal to the people who do not understand the economic results of the proposals brought forth by politicians seeking to be nominated and elected. I am a moderate and it gives me some •concern that basically the whole answer to our problems is spend ing of more and more money by the Federal Government where it is not needed regardless of the source from -which the money is to come from, the tax- 1 payer. What is your idea on these so-called panaceas? —Luciana. Dear Luciana: There are old basic truths we cannot escape and which have been clearly demonstrated over the years, such as you get what you pay for and eventually somej one has to pay for what is pro-j duced or given away and that bad money drives out good money. In the coming cam paign for the Presidency and Congressional offices there are going to be some fundamental differences between the parties. One of these differences is the normal growth of the country. The Democrats are going to claim 'that the present admini stration has been backward and lagging in the fostering of the natural growth of the country. Senator Kennedy's basic theme is that we have been living in a period of stagnatiion and re treat; other liberals of the Dem ocratic party are claiming that ■we are behind Russia in our growth, although there is no basis for an equitable compari son. The Democratic party spokesmen claim that there should be a conscious assump tion by the federal government ct the responsibility to see that the U. S. economy shall grow at a pre-determined rate. On the other hand the spokesmen fbr the conservative element of jthe Republican party claim that the fundamental issue is to keep ..within the budget and to reducb 'the national debt and reduce taxi es. This is going to be one of the principal differences be tween the candidates of the op posing parties. In considering the situation i( is really a battle between the left wing liberals and the ultra Conservatives. Growth has tak en on a new meaning in that it does not mean normal natural growth due to increase in popu lation and the demand for con sumers goods, but an interfer ence with natural economic growth by the government as serting itself into the economic field. What it actually means is that the government should spend more and more money in fields where it has never pre viously had any jurisdiction or responsibility. Just as an in stance; in considering the bill to help school districts in need it was found that only 276 Taylor Theatre EDENTON, N. C. Thursday. Friday and Saturday.

But ev ery Senator wanted to get some ; benefit for his state and the hill ' was enlarged to a tremendous extent to spend money in areas where it was not needed. There will be demands for : more and more money for slum clearance, for the development of sewage authorities, develop ment of metropolitan areas all to be financed by the Federal l Government. In the meantime! our federal debt is increasing ] at an alarming rate, inflation is i continuing and consumer is pay- ■ ing through the nose for con- : sumer goods at a steady increas- i ing price, which means in es- ' feet that the purchasing price, 1 which means in effect that the < purchasing power of the dollar, is going down each month. If; the government were in private': industry it would be facing : bankruptcy, but being a govern ment it can issue more and ’ more notes and bonds at the,' expense of the taxpayer who is; ' paying over eleven billion dol- , lars per year in the servicing i of the national debt. Then there*is another side to, the picture and that is our goldj reserve. At this moment there) is a greater foreign credit against' ( our gold reserve than the amount \ in the vaults at Fort Knox which , means that foreigners are look- | ing at the value of the dollar j with a skeptical eye. What a ] demand on our gold reserve I ( would do to our economy people ] do not realize. It would mean! t an increase in the price of gold ( in terms of dollar and the pur-J chasing power of the dollar j | would decrease further. I ( Regardless of party affiliation ( the voter should seriously con- ( sider in what direction he wants to go. If he is a liberal and wants all out spending by the ( federal government then he should seriously consider the, consequences on himself and his j family. If, regardless of party you are conservative enough to want to live within your income!' then you should ask the politi cians some pertinent questions) as to when is the government go-j ing to reduce the debt and in come taxes and where is the! money coming from to meet allj of the spending the politicians)< propose to spend for the benefitl of mankind. | Dear Three P's: I belong to an organization of men and women and we usually! have an election of officers each two years.

There are a number of people suggesting a number of candidates for this office and I believe, although I do not know, that there is something wrong in the picture. What do you say? —Doubtful Dear Doubtful; It is an old political trick in various organizations where there is some competition for of ficers to have a number of peo ple nominate different candi dates. This weakens the candi dacy of a strong candidate by spreading the vote. But the sponsors for these different can didates really do not back them but rather concentrate on their one candidate. By nominating a number of candidates the vote is spread and the group spon soring their own candidate has a greater chance of winning. You should look over the field with a jaundiced eye /and pick the candidate who would bet ter represent your organizatiion. Smaller Cars Cut Big Slice Off N. C. Gas Tax Revenue The swing to smaller cars may cause North Carolina’s gasoline tax revenue to fall far short of estimates in the next few years, the chairman of the North Caro lina Petroleum Committee says. In fact, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1960, the gaso line tax fell $1,507,907 under the estimate made by the 1959 General Assembly. G. S. Willcox, Jr., noted that U. S. auto makers built their one millionth compact car of the year during June, and that compact cars now constitute 29 per cent of auto sales. It has been estimated that to tal national gasoline tax receipts will fall well below anticipated levels if the present trend con tinues, he observed. State gaso ine tax revenues will also show a substantial drop, he noted. Tobacco Crop Up Above 12 Percenti Based on reports from produc ers as of July 1 ,the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service has forecast 1960 flue-cured to bacco at 785,100.000 pounds. Such a crop would be 82.158.000: pounds or 11.7 percent greater i than last year’s crop of 702,942.- 000 pounds, though falling be-1 | low the 1949-58 ten-year average) by 8.5 percent.
