DEAR MISTER EDITOR: I come to town last week to I 1 haggle with my banker about these times in my health, my fitting my semi-annual loan. He's crops, how I was paying my bills, 1 i always mighty interested at if my old lady was in good health, if my Social Security checks was coining regular, and if my land titles was still clear. They aint nothing like having ? good friend like this that was 10 interested in yore welfare. Anyhow, after these preliminar iea was took care of and he was figgering out the interest, I pick ed up one of them Wall Street Journal papers off bla desk and waa giving it a glance. I run into some interesting items right off and my banker give it to me to bring home. After I got home and while my old lady was checking up to see if he had run the interest up proper and was cooking sup per I started reading in this Wall Street Journal. The piece that impressed me most. Mister Editor, was about a feller in Atlanta, Georgia, named Joe Jones, Jr. Joe want ed to start a trucking business but he didn't have no money. He went to that Guvernment agen cy called the Small Business Ad ministration, outlined his plans for a trucking business and they loaned him $28,000 to git it un derway. Joe, so this piece said, then manufacturer that was willing to give him all their hauling. On account of most of their stuff had to be carried across state lines, he had to go git a license from the Interstate Commerce Commission, that had a office in the same building with the Small Business Administration office. They turned him down. In fact, by the time this piece was wrote in the Wall Street Journal they had turned him down seven times. And ever time It was fer the same reason, that they already had enough truckers In the Atlanta area. This piece said Joe was mighty shook up over the matter. One Guvernment agency loans him $29,000 to start a business and another Guvernment agency won't let him operate it Re wrote a letter to President John son about the situation and ask him if this was the "free enter prise system" he fought far in World War R and his Pa had fought fer in World War L A? 25?
