the rich or moderately rk couki afford to attend Y t public education
Is socialism
tOUNttY tOITOK
ONE OF TULIAS chief sources of income Is lis power plant Without
the power plant we would be in much the same situation
as the Oty of Canyon
Without our power plant either taxes would have to be Increased
sharply or else we would have to get by ttfch fewer city services
Without our power plant the profit that now provides many of our
local needs would be going into the caffors of Southwestern Public
Service
Yet when we want to keep this profit in TWIa tobe used for
Die benefit of all 1ilians we are socialists
couniiy tenet
WHO IS WISE enough to pinpoint the exact spot on the dial where
socialism becomes undesirable Who is sufficiently wise to
determine the fsract point where private enterprise becomes undesirable
Our personal opinion is that private enterprise is more efficient
and should be encouraged until the point is reached where it refuses
to serve the public or irsists on doing so at unreasonable
profits If a privately owned utility hi already serving a community
with efficiency and at a reasonable profit we do not think it desirable
to refuse to renew its franchise even though the community certainly
has the right to do so if anyone wants to make an issue of that point
coumiir tone
BUT PRIVATE ENTERPRISE also has a history of wanting to
run everything it can get its hands on when everything is running
smoothly and profitably but when times are not so smooth or
where there is an element of chance it can cry Uncle Sam just
as loud as anyone else
When REA Was first established for the purpose of making loans
to anybody including private enterprise wo would serve rural areas
with electricity private enterprse just wasnt interested in accepting
these loans and serving the rural areas So it was up to the rural people
to form cooperatives and p > into the electrical distribution business
or else do without
But if the time should eer cime when electric cooperatives become
profitable we can expect private enterprise to step in and
want to reap the profits
Private enterprise is perfectly willing for someone else even the
government to ep into somi new and untried venture to take all
the risks to prove its profitableness then step in and take it off the
governments hands if die enture proves profitable
Were no enemy of pmate enterprise But we simply dont be
lieve it has yet sprouted wings And it is our observation that private
enterprise often has its hands out for government handouts when
some of the people it calls socialists only want loans
Shipbuilders and the airlines piously ask for subsidies because It
Is for the public gwd that we have air mail service and merchant
ships and such senice just isnt profitable for private enterprise
The federal government pays 55 per cent of Uie cost of every
merchant ship that is buit and
becomes the property of private enterprise
Braniif Airways alone in 1957 received over a million dollars
in subsidies from the federal government for maintaining air mail
routes they contended werent profitable for private enterprise
Electric cooperatives on the otier hand get no gifts They borrow
money frpm the REA since private enterprise wouldnt deem such
loans gooa business at the rate of interest the coops can pay They pay

this money back with Interest Yet wo arajtold these cooperatives
are socialistic while the shipbuilders and airlines believe In The
American Way
Private enterprise was also first in line outside Roosevelts offlicc
in Washington back In 1933 It asked for and got assistance Agatn
duringWorld War II the government was overly generous In assisting
privpte enterprise as It converted to wartime production The
government saw to 1t that business wasnt hurt In fact it was the
war that saved many lagging businesses
But the moment private enterprise gets big fat and self sufficient
it is also first in line to bite the hand that sustained It
COUNTHY IDItOI
S WE READ the disgraceful hews dispatches coming out of Ala
bama last weekend our first impulse was to wish a plague upon
the Deep South Then we thought of cur trip through that country
last fall with Lyndon Johnson We recalled the scores of Southerners
with whom we talked who assured us that the masses of reasonable
people were embarrassed by the ditUens Councils the Ku Klux Klan
and the other radicals who have resisted the extension of the federal
constitution to all the people
We recalled that it was In Montgomery Ala tliat Johnson proclaimed
his belief in civil rights for all people regardless of race color
or creed The applause from the crowd was deafening
We feel for these loyal Americans who must hang their heads
in shame as Southern radicals bring disgrace and shame to the South
by their barbaric and unAmencan behavior

URING THE CAMPAIGN President Kennedy promised to close
some of the loopholes in income tax laws as one means of
raising needed revenue without asking for new taxes It would seem
that this should meet with the approval of everyone
The Treasury Department has documented with amailng authenticity
a society of kept men a privileged class living off the liberality
of our tax laws charging everything off to the company
while always seeming to work and conduct business whether dining
at Sardls sailing on the Riviera sunning at Acapulco betting
at Pimlico hunting in the Blue Ridge or fishing n the Gulf
A funeral director was found charging a yacht to business expense
When questioned he explained that he entertained ministers on his
yachf and they In turn sent business his way
A dairy outfit successfully deducted 16413 for an African hunting
safari taken by its principal shareholderpresident and his wife
A brewery company got by with 10481 for a cabin cruiser it maintains
to entertain distributors
Over a three year period a manufacturer charged off 187418 for
a hunting lodge with a tax base itself of some 230000 and cared for by
his wife
One manufacturer was able to deduct not only the cost of maintaining
a beautiful resort facility on a subtropical island but also
the airplane expense traveling there and the depreciation on the plane
as well
A road builder successfully de ducted 2600 for the expenses of
his wifes trip to Alaska on the ground that the customer being
woded would not go without his own wife and she In turn would not
go without the builders wife
Another charged off 200 for dinner for five
counihy toito
f 0 CONTROL these abuses the President wants to limit deductible
business gifts to 10 wipe out virtually all deductions for
entertainment limit tax allowable spending on business lunches to
7 and permit the traveling businessman1 a mxximum dally deductible
expense of 30
The 700 million reportedly squandered on lavish deductions each
year could build two wings of B53 bombers or construct almost
1000 miles of interstate superhighways or finance the research for
further space exploration
COUNW ioitoi
KINDS of abuse Is being hurled at the Administration for
ALL its efforts to crack down on these ridiculous deductions
And much of it is coming from conservatives who say that
their businesses will be ruined should these deductions not be allowed
Just goes to show what a job a President has in keeping everybody
happy
