fDITORIAL COMMEWT
A Greater Louisburg
How often have we sat in a ban
quet hall and listened to a speak
er, with a full head of steam,
painting rosy dreams and see
ing visions of a greater Loiiis
? burg?
* Quite often, to be sure, we have
; heard of this sort of speech.
; After it is over, however; how
many of us acted upon the sug
gestions, meeting together and
? planning the building of a great
er community?
I A greater community can be
i achieved by us if we work to
? gether In the hope that future
; generations will enjoy this town
and if we are "determined to
crown our efforts with success.
We want our community to be a
-? . X ' '
thriving, progressive and glo
rious place in which to live, and
we owe much to those wht> have
gone before us who have lived
here.
It must be remembered that
we have accepted not only what
the former citizens of our oom
munity have left us, but all the
gifts of all the men who ever
lived, and this is a considerable
fflheritance-for which we have
paid nothing.
We think that every citizen
should accept in his heart this
debt; and should find a way to
contribute something to his com-r"
munity and to his country, and
to the human race.
r
Two Tax Bills?
* There is growing sentiment on
Capitol Hill to write tax legisla
tion this year in twoljills, rath
er than the one, combined bill
President John Kennedy has ask
ed for. The President wants to
combine^tax "reform" with tax
reduction.
In the House of Representa
? tlves, where tax legislation
starts. House leaders are not
backing President .Kennedy.
Speaker John McCormack has
not come out in support of the
President.
But the House Democratic
Leader, Representative Carl Al
I bert, of Oklahoma, "is in favor
of writing separate bills. He
wahts tax reductions included in
a bill passed this year and tax
reform to wait until next year,
if necessary.
The question which arises in
this process is whether the Con-.,
gress can vote a 13.5 billion
dollar tax reduction without vot
ing the "reforms" which the
President believes will earn
back some three to three and a
half billions of the revenues
lost.
It'tax reductions are stagger-,
ed as to the take-effect time, it
may be passible for Congress
to trim billions in fat off the
budget, such as in the foreign
aid field, vote sizable reduc
tions, and await results, per
haps until next year, to write
the tax reform bill.
Editors And Their Views
From time to time we editors
comment On the news and its
significance.
While some editors may be un
der the Illusion that their opln^.
Ions are profound and that their
. morning or afternoon comments
are world-shaking, we have nev
er been under any such im
pression. ?> -
?C As a matter of fact, very fd?V
editors In the United States to
day (or elsewhere) have suffi
cient trarnrhg~l"n""Tocal govern^
ment, state government, nation
al government, and internation
al affairs, to comment intelli
gently, and wisely, on the ma
jor news events of the'day each
day.
All editorials should be an ln
, -"telllgent presentation of facts
^\jjjnd opinions, with the editor giv
ing both sides of the question as
honestly as he possibly can. He
will be better informed than the
average reader, naturally, be
cause he has made a life work
out of it.
Thus the modern editor, who
does his Job in the best modern
tradition, offer's his readers as
much in refraining from super
colossal conclusions, positive
statements which are unsound.
and over-simplified solutions of
complex Issues, as he does in
providing basic and fundamen
tal knowledge and facts, and tils
own conclusion which the reader '
can use in developing his own
thinking, philosophy and Intelli
gence.
