When you pick up the telephone and dial “0”, you are about to pay the federal government ten per cent of the cost ot the call. When you start out on a trip, via plane, bus, or train, the federal government takes ten per cent of the cost of the fare and makes you pay that, too. World War II was over August 15. 1945. Yet these are the taxes that were put on communication and travel methods as temporary measures during World War II. And they have not been removed. May we remind you of the date? 1959. That probably doesn’t disturb you much, does it? It should. For these are but a few of the many examples in which the federal government has thrust its hand into private business for ‘the time being’ or to assess a ‘temporary tax’. The ‘time being’ is apparently for ever and ‘temporary’ is just as long. The frightening part of this is that the federal govern ment has asjumed so much of what was once proprietary rights of the citrten that one more infringement is hardly noticeable.. . Yet, “there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent enroachments of those in-power than by violent and sudden usurpations”. The wordaof James Madisom^efore the Virginia Convention in 1788 are as true now as then. It is tha-l^tlo that are cdangercuis. The govern ment places a temporary tax. Well, that isn’t so bad, the people apparently say. ' What is bad is the fact that we grow accustomed to the government doing, this or that or the other for us.

They may never wake up. —Jay Woodard DmUi Wears A Striped Bandana ‘The road maps are being read again. The papers blossom with attractive ads from the resort towns and beaches. At the office, feelings are ruffled when three or four want the same week for vacation. Again it is the time of the year to save for traveling and ior being very nice to the neighbor so you can leave the dog with him. When the country begins its annual week of relief from the job, death tolls go up and the statistics mount as the “ac cident you read about in the papers” happens to too many and, sometimes, to you. The family car is loaded with baggage, ice chests, cam- cru, picnic baskets, loud, squirming children, and adults dressed in lively vacation togs. A pretty sight, you say. And it is. After two or three hours on the road, the children begin tiiouting, “How much farther it is?” Mother berates the driv er for ogling the blonde in the convertible. And Daddy says grimly to himself: You’d think these truck drivers own the read. And then it happens. Worn out with driving, hot, tired, and irritated, the man at the wheel takes the long chance that turns out to be too long. And here is another accident, with more statistics. Warnings of the dangers of vacation travel are as num erous as the rules for highwsy safety. We will avoid repeat ing the usual ones and give only a little advice. Take plenty of time to get where you are going and don’t try to cover tiie eastern seaboard in one week. You’ll get another vacation next year. If you are alive then. —Jay Woodard ——0 “Sometimes it seems to jolt religious persons to hear newspapermen say that the Bible is the greatest reporting job m history. These people seem to forget that while the Bible contains the word of God, it was reported in the words « man. tec of the reasons the Bible has remained a ‘best arilar” (which really has little to do with its actual import- aMc) has hwn the fact it was written with such magnificent iy aniTMartty.*—Ontario-Upland, Calit, Daily Report thoughts in passing.... Can Governinent Spending Stop? Government spending is coming in for the lion’s share of publicity these days. It is a subject that should command the attention of every citizen. We are hearing a great deal of talk of late to the effect that the final'battle between our way of life and communism will be one of economics. We are being taxed to the limit of our abilities. The current deficit of the U. S. government is 12 billion dollars, more than the total expenditure of the gov ernment 20 years ago, according to a report of the fax Foun dation. Yet spending by the government is at an all-time high. Daily there are reports of new ways the lawmakers and the public have dreamed up to spend the government’s money. Figures reported are not encouraging. The dollar is now worth 48 cents. If the rate of depreciation that reduced it to less than half its worth keeps up, in twenty years the dollar will be worth only a dime. The only name by which this can be called is inflation. The time has come for some good, old-fashioned common sense. We can avoid disastrous financial straits by following one simple rule: Ciit out what cannot be afforded. The sal aried worker,- concerned over his outrageously high taxes might bear in mind this statistic from the report quoted ear lier: Every reduction of one billion dollars in federal spending is equivalent of a $20 bill in the pocket of the average family. Maybe it sounds like a tall order to reduce government sfjending by one billion dollars. It is. However, our lawmakers have to know how we feel on the subject. You will have to write your representatives in the government to let them know that you object to too much government spending. If enough people write, there will be an effect. The Puppy Creek Philosopher Finds Good Reason Finally For Going Ahead And Conquering Space This Is The Law By Robert E. Lee (For N. C. Bar Association) SUBLEASING OF PROPERTY Jones has leased real property from Smith for a term of ten years. May Jones transfer his rights under the lease to Taylor without the consent of the lessor? In the absence of an express restriction in the lease or proof that the lessor made the lease be cause of reliance on the personal characteristics of th^ lessee, the lessee may freely transfer his"* in terest in all or any part of the premises. In effect, the lessor has sold the property to the lessee for the agreed period of time and he can do with it as he pleases. When a farm, a houae, or a building is leased at a fixed rate of rental, the lessee can transfer to another his rights under the lease in the absence of an ex press provision saying he cannot assign or sublet the premises. Where the rent is paid in terms of a percentage of the lessee’s pro duction, profits, or sales, the lease is said to be personal and there exists no right to transfer even in the absence of an express provi sion. The lease of a farm on shares is regarded penerally as a person al contract and not assignable without consent of the lessor—as the amount to be received by the lessor and the care of the property depends upon the character, in dustry and skill of the lessee. Editor’s note: The Puppy Creek Philosopher on his Ber muda grass farm must have some bills he can’t pay, his letter this week indicates. Dear editar: From time to time I have pok ed a little fun at all the excite ment some people work up over exploring outer space. I’ve been contending that when we finally get a man out into space, he may find there’s nothing out there at least nothing half as interesting as what he al ready had on earth, and all that money we’re spending may be in vain. But now I wish to revise my o- pinions a little. After long thought and me ditation, I have figured out a roaion why we ought to go ahead and explore ■pace. I thought of It the other after noon whUe I was rnding a news paper I picked up a day or two before. Some people think they don’t read a newspaper the day it’s published, it’s not worth read ing, but I’ve found you can wait two or three days and read it and sometimes get more out of it than you could the day it was printed, especially if you’ve read another one or two in the mean time and subsequent reports have correct ed the earlier ones. According to this article, nobody knows how much money the world owes. They have a pretty good idea what a given country owes, nationally, but nobody has figured up all the debts of all the states, all the counties, all the cities and towns, all the school districts, wa ter districts, etc. And also, nobody has figured up how much indivi dual families owe. But everybody agrees if you added up all of it, the figure would be overwhelm ing, flabbergasting. In fact, some people are contending the world if it keeps going in debt will wind up bankrupt. Now here’s where exploring space comes In. I’m not a lawyer, but I understand that when a man gota bankrupt, and wanta to settle his debts by pleading bank ruptcy, he has to at least find a court that’s solvent to hear his plea.

Thank you very much.” ’The note ia signed: Parents of a child. Dear Folks, Thank you for everything, but I am going to Chicago and try to start some kind of new life. You asked me why I did thoee things and why I gave you so much trouble, and the answer ia easy for me to id^e you, but I am wonder ing if you will understand Remember when I was about six or seven and I used to want you to just listen to me? I remember all the nice things you gave md for Christmas and my birthday and I was real happy with the things for about a week at the time I got the things, biit the rest of the time during the yeir I really did n’t want presents. I just wanted all the time for you to listen to me like I was somebody who felt things too, because I remember even when I wu young I felt things. But you said you were busy. Mom, you are a wonderful cook, and you had everything so clean and you were tired so much from doing all those things that made you busy, but you know lome- thing. Mom? I would have liked crackers and peanut butter juit as well—if you had only lat down with me a little while during tie day and said to me: “TtU ma all about it so I can maybe help you understand.” And when Donna came I could n’t imderstand why everyone made so much fuss bccauae I didn’t think it was my fault that her hair ia curly and her teeth so white, dnd she doesn’t have to wear glasaes with such thick lenses.

Bf PAUL DICKSON All of US have heard about the salesman who wu so good that he could sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo. Actually, the idea is not so far fetched. Refrigerators are used to good advantage in Arctic regions to keep foods at constant tempera tures. The salesman only had to show the Eskimo how he could benefit from the use of a refrige rator. The trader jyho shows the native how he can make' life fuller and his time more profitable by the installation of new equipment en riches the native, himself, and the people engaged in manufac turing the equipment. Such is the function of good salesmanship—or good advertising, which is mus salesmanship. When an Eskimo buys a refri gerator, or when a native of New Guinea buys a fishing net to use instead of a spear, advertising has played a basic part in the creation of wealth. In more complex ways, advertising is continuausly stimul ating the same proceu in medern society. New marfcAts are net cre» ated until advertiging convincea 'the public-.that the purchase ef a product will result in some bene fit. Without advertising, moct new nroducti. would not be adopted WF.'Thany years nftsr devSlAp- mMl But advertising makes it 'poenble for our economy to bene fit from new inventions almost immediately. , How many billions of n^omcn- hours at the ironing-board has been saved during the past few years by the introduction of wuh- and-wear clothing? Yet we would not be using these goods today ex cept for mass advertising. The merchant who uses his ad vertising to crests wealth through the introduction of new. and bet ter goods does not have to worry about competition. For in the new markets that his advertising are constantly building competition does not have a chance to form. cember 31, 1960. On April 1, 1951, the leasee sublet the premises, without the consent of the lessor, for a term ending November 30, 1960—a term shorter by one month from the original lease. The Supreme Court held that thp ex press provision of the lease had not been breached. There was a restriction against assignment, but no restriction against subleasing. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE What is the difference between an assignment and a sublease? Where the lessee transfers the whole of his term, there is creat ed an assignment. The assignee thereby becomes the tenant of the original lessor and subject to all the covenants or provisions in the lease, which run with the land, just as the lessee was. The as signee is placed in the shoea of his assignor. Where the lessee transfers lesa than the whole of his term, there is created a sublease. In a sub lease there is reserved for the lessee some portion of the unex pired term of the lease. For ex ample, if B leased a building from A for ten years beginning Janu ary 1, 1957, and B rents the build ing to C for two years beginning January 1, 1959, there is a sub lease. B is the landlord of C. The reation of landlord and tenant be tween A and B remains unchang ed. The original lessor and the sublessee cannot sue each other, upon the terms of the lease, be cause as between them there is no contract. An express covenant or provi sion in the lease against assign ment is not broken by subletting of the premises; and a covenant or provision not to sublet does not preclude an assignment. A lease contained the following provision: “The lessee is not to sell or assign this lease or any part thereof without the consent of the lessor.” The lease was to run from January 1, 1950 to De- Did You Know That MOVIES are Bettor Than Erer? and Yoir RAEFORD THEATRE It Playing The LATEST aid BEST!
