Inflation is rampant over all the civilized world, due principally to the same cause. If that is true, and we have the word of David Rockefeller, international banker, to back our conclusions, one wonders how the Federal Reserve system could believe inflation could be cured by increasing the interest rate, and throwing the country into a depression? It costs less to live in April and May than it does in February and March, due to lower heat costs and the lower cost of vegetables. Has there really been any reduction in inflation since the Federal Reserve system adopted its principal of high interest rates? When interest rates of 8% were imposed, we wrote an editorial saying that high interest rates were inflationary. The only comment we heard was from the president of Carolina Power and Light Company who said that our views were correct. When interest rates reached 12%, we wrote another editorial again saying these rates were inflationary. We received no comment about that editorial. For the third time we say that high interest rates are inflationary. But now it is no trouble to find indignant citizens who say that the policy of the Federal Reserve System is crazy. American business is running on credit. When Carolina Power and Light Company has to borrow money at high interest rate that rate is reflected in their cost of producing energy just as fuel and materials and labor are costs to be passed on to their customers in higher prices. This morning an ad from Sears stated that this giant store was still offering credit to its customers. It did not say so, but of course at a higher price, based on what money cost the firm. The price of money is not only a part of the cost of conducting a business but also has a bearing on the dividends a company must pay if it is to sell its stock, which are added to the cost of a product. These things should be perfectly obvious to everyone. Cars are being priced out of the market and high interest is a part of this cost. In view of this condition we were surprised and somewhat dismayed to read in the daily press that the N. C. banking industrv, in what it calls a consumer's bill, will ask the Legislature to increase the interest rates on credit cards from 18% to 21%; to remove the 12% interest rate on single payment loans of $3000 to $25,000, and to raise the interest rate of 14% on installment loans on amounts less than $5,000 and 12% on amounts more than $5,000. It is all confusing. The Federal Reserve System declaring that high interest rates are necessary to cool the economy while business interests are pleading with Congress to cut the tax rate to stimulate the economy. Since no one seems certain, we would suggest that some good old 6% money be tried.

Dick says he's seen many a motion tortured and twisted, but never a one entertained. — Burton Hillis in Better Homes and Gardens.

(Staff Photo) Mostly Personal 'Visiting' Other Countries ll\ lil<;\ \i i io\i:s In comparison with the sufferings of those engaged in the tabulation of Warren County ballots last Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, our tribulations caused by the delay in obtaining tally sheets are hardly worthy of mention The registrar and judges of elections, and a few other attendants at West Warrenton precinct, the largest in Warren County, went to the polls at r> a. m.. and some of these completed their work around 10:30 on Wednesday morning One of these pollholders. when I asked him if he had ever voted where they used voting machines, said that this was the first time that he had ever voted w here they did not have voting machines. He said he went to work at 6 a. m. on Tuesday morning and at 7 3ft p' m the polls were closed Then, he added at that time. • our regular work completed." after 131 hours, a new crew should have been brought in to count and tally the ballots By midnight, he continued, many of those trying to count ballots were so groggy that they were unable to work efficiently. One can well imagine their difficulty. In other days when there were fewer candidates and only one party, first returns w ere usualiy in before 8 p. m.. contrasted with 1ft: 30 p m on Tuesday night, and at midnight only three precincts had reported Around lft:3ft a m. Wednesday morning West Warrenton precinct had finally reported and we sent our bookkeeper over to transcribe the vote from four or five sheets to one sheet to be used in The Warren Record. About an hour later she finished her work, and about noon a penciled copy was in the office, about an hour before the paper should have been sent to Roxboro to be printed. I^ack of time did not give us the time to properly process the penciled sheet, but it came out mostly legible but in a condition that caused us no pride But due to delay in receiving the election results, it was around 3 p. m Wednesday afternoon before negatives were sent to Roxboro and about 7 p. m before the van with the printed papers rolled to the mailing room, an hour and a half after the postoffice deadline for our paper To make matters worse, this was the week for our A&P insert, and inserting by hand always delays mailing Anyway, at 8 p. m part of the mail was loaded in my w ife's car. and Grace.
