It is especially tough when two horses stand out so much as to make it a two horse race- Such a race was seen last Thursday when True Spencer and “Doc” Mc Millen raced against “Slim*’ Shilling and his record-break ing speedster, Chief Long. We think Doc drove a fine race even though True Spencer broke at a little over a half mile. Chief Long has plenty of speed at the start. There are few horses who can beat him away from the gate. From where we stood True Spencer and Chief Long are just about an even match with Chief Long getting the edge for good manners and a speedy getaway. Nevertheless, Doc did the only thing he could do in order to win the race force Chief Long all the way and try to tire him or beat him in the stretch. Unfortunately, True Spencer broke on the third turn and was overhauled but recovered and came in second anyway- Keep in mind that Doc knew he could get a second but that he wanted to win if possible. The only possible Way he could win was to race True Spencer in the exact manner that he did. After all, it was pretty obvious that if he could get True Spence®, on top, Chief Long couldn’t overtake him. So there you have it, a swell horse race and a new track record. With all due credit to Slim Shill ing and a great horse we still thing that Doc McMillen and ‘-a game little colt, BASEBALL is ANNOUNCE BIRTH Mr. and Mrs. Max Allen (Re becca Gray) Jeffersonville an nounce the birth of a daughter, Mari Roxanne Aug. 22 at City Hospital Springfield.

South Vienna Man Cleared In Trial William R. Foulk, 26, of South Vienna, Route 1, has been ac quitted on a charge of participa ting in the robbery of the River side Calif., Western Union office of $525 in February, 1949, ft was reported Monday from River side, where the trial was held, The presiding judge in the trial, which was held last Friday, said that the only evidence against the Clark County youth was the wurd of two other men, who pleaded guilty to the charge, that he took part in the crime. This was not enough evidence for conviction, the judge ruled. Mr. Foulk, who was arrested by deputies of the office of Clark County Sheriff J. Arthur Shuman London, O May 11, attempted to block his extradition to Cali fornia for trial, but Avas unsuc cessful. He was taken to River side by an officer from that city. Lt- E. K.

She is very broad in the front and rear, has a short snout, and is a good feeder. Now Naybor Jones bein very proud of her thought he would dress her up and take her to the stock show down at the fair grounds. So he scrubbed her up and polished heF"BT"f§. lie put a blue ribbon around her neck and a shiny ring in her nose and I think he put a ribbon on her tail—which has a natural permanent wave in It. But you can imagine what the sow did the moment he let her out of the pen? You guessed it—she made for the first mud hole she saw and wollered in it, as hog nature_has been doin ever since hogs was created. That made me think of the Scriptures Wierc it refers to the hog that has been washed returnin to her woller. It matters little how you dress up a hog—it dont change their nature one iota. You just cant make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Now, too you can send a boy or girl off to college and try to give them an education, but if they aint got intelligence, they are nothin but polished pebbles. And with all their education they revert to their natures and habits. What this here Holler and the whole world needs is a little more intelligence and common horse sense. Yours for more intelligence, “Uncle Sam” Stille SUFFERS HEART ATTACK Charles Allen of Dayton, son in-law of Mrs. L. D.

Member Rtiervt System (COPY* DEADLINE FRIDAY NOO1MT Calendar For The Communist aggression in Korea, with its indication of the increased posibility of a third war, and the President’s request for $10,000,000,000 for additional armament—both added to a situ ation, .already somewhat infla tionary—have raised problems of the most serious concern to the American economic system. Al ready they have resulted in rapid ly increasing prices in some fields, and a general fear of greater in creases. This has produced a good deal of hoarding and hysteria which, at least for the moment, make this trend more severe. The President has suggested an elaborate plan of controls granting him complete, arbitrary power over all agriculture, industry, and transportation with certain notable exceptions and he has suggested that, “at an appropriate time” some part of the additional ex penses should be covered by in creased taxes. Dismissing at this moment the blame for the situ ation which has arisen in the world and the mess in which we find ourselves, it seems clear that at this time we have no altern ative except to take every possible measure against the further ex pansion of Communist influence in the world to the point at which it may threaten the freedom of the people of the United States. There is a good deaj. of misun derstanding, however, as to just what/it is, from an economic standpoint," that we face at the present time. There are two dis tinct problems. The first is the Korean War, which accounts per haps for from two and one-half to four billion dollars of the ad ditional appropriations requested by the President- This alone is not a tremendous factor, nor does it require any great economic ef fort, when we consider that We now have a national production of $270,000,000,000 a year and a na tional annual income of $222,000, 000,000. The increase directly at tributable to the Korean war can not justify many controls, ex cept possibly the control of steel and scarce materials required for the manufacture of munitions. Second, however, the Koren war has impressed upon the people the necessity for increased mili tary forces to deal perhaps in other parts of the world, with the ty up of war started by the Com munists in Korea, and a better preparation for a possible all-out attack by the Russians throughout the world. This accounts for the balance of the President’s request fop expenditures......... All of this indicates, Mr. Presi dent, that we face a new status in this country, something which Tfe Kpjrft NOTE This feature mill rtrn regularly and will be published each Monday and Tuesday.

Finds SummerJJnbearji,ble Economic Situation The Korean Crisis Produced 1?« "5 (Speech by Hon. Robert A. Taft) in U. S. Senate July 24) Mr. TAFT. Mr. President, this time I wish to discuss general question before the Sen ate, namely, that with relation to the additional controls and the new economic situation produced by. the Korean war. at the 5 It is not all-out war, because the Russians may never make the at tack which so many fear, but neither is it a'state of peace in which we can develop our civil ian progress and an increased standard of living tp the extent we would like to dq. Even the United States is not productive enough to pursue both policies to their ultimate end. If we are to spend as much as is now proposed on guns, we cannot spend so much on butter. The change to this new status is one which we cannot make without sacrificing some of the progress and some of the luxuries which have been our ideal. So far as we can see, this status may exist for 10 years, and we may as well face the problem and adjust ourselves to it. Some say the Russians will attack at once. Some put the date at 1952 or 1953. Last week I saw one es timate that the attack would come in 1956. Perhaps it may not be un til I960- I am not at all confident, Mr. President, that the Russians contemplate an all-out military attack at any time, or that there is any certainty of a third world war. The point that I am trying to make, however, is that now we have to plan for a type of ec onomy entirely different from the one for which we have plan ned heretofore, and so far as we can be certain now, the new one may last for 10 years, According to present estimates, the military expenses are to& be increased by $10,000,000,000 year. With further thought, total bill may perhaps be an in crease of $15,000,000,000 a year. Even assuming that there is a sub stantial reduction in Government domestic expenditures, that means a budget of $50,000,000,000 to $55,000,000,000 instead of $40,000, 000000. From an economic stand point, however, this is. still a very difficult position from all-out war. In the Second World War we expended about $100,000,000, 000 a year for Government act ivities, or about one-half of the to tal civilian production. In a new war, production would be greater, and one-half of the national pro duction, If that is perhaps the limit of what we ’would set aside for war, might be $150,000, 000,000 a year. In one case, we would be taking one-half the na tional production iti what we contemplate and facg today, we shall be taking only one-fifth. a the One big difference between these two conditions is that if we take one-half of the national pro duct for war, it is almost impos sible to cover it by taxes. That means, therefore, a /substantial amount of borrowing, and inevit ably it means price control and wage control and rationing, and— even then—probably/'later" it would mean inflation/ such as followed the Second World War. During the world war many people thought that we should pay our way as we went along,- but I could never see how this could be done by any form or taxation cause taxation must He uniform and taxation of such tremendous weight on a uniform basis is bound to intolerable hardships on some.. It seemed to me that the only possible theoretical way to pay for all-out war by taxation would be by rationing income and tax ing away everything over the as signed amount. Mr President, you can imagine what tremendous ad ministrative and political, dif ficulties that would involve, if in fact, it did not infringe the Con stitution of the United States. I But this is not true of a Fed eral expenditure of fifty to fifty five billion dollars.. This can be paid for out of taxes. Those taxes would be very heavy. They would cut somewhat all civilian stand ards of living. They would inter fere with the i /^development of civilian production and improved methods. But it can be done, and it is the only way to prevent in flation by reaching its principal cause, It has been repeatedly proved by experience that it is impossible to borrow vast sums of money and then hope by the imposition of controls to prevent the inevitable inflationary ef fects, Sooner or later the must break. If we want to inflation, we have to stop the source. If we can pay as we go and restrain the increase of private credit, then I see no rea son for any over-all price, wage, or allocation controls. I see reason to look forward for years to a dictatorial control Government of every phase agriculture, industry, end merce. Fourth. The right to guarantee any loan or to make any loan to any corporation. That seems to me to be an unlimited power of lend ing. We have seen the magnifi cent results of the RFC in three or four very cases, and it certainly questionable whethec. we loan money to any corporation which the President would like to assist to produce some product desired by the Army..

On page 8 the President is given power to make provisions for purchases of metals, minerals, and other raw materials, which might be any farm products for Government use or for resale so the Government could buy and sell to an unlimited extent, take a loss, or buy high and sell cheap, and, of course, stand the difference, which would amount to a subsidy on agricul tural products and on food. Furthermore, the bill contains power to establish any kind of corporation to buy and sell, and whatever powers are necessary to carry, out the Brannan plan or any other plan for the control of agriculture or industry. It seems to me that it is almost unlimited. Third. The power to requisition any property, plant, or other fac ility in the United States, any plant anywhere, or any property the President chooses-to Requis ition. lending notable seems should Fifth- The right to set up Gov ernment corporations to go into business the Government wants to go into, up to a total of $2,000, 000,000. Mr. President, I cannot quite see why, so far as additional equipment is concerned, whatever it may be, the American indust rial plant i® not perfectly com petent to make the things that are needed. It seems to me that if the Government wants to go into the business of making things, it should specify those things. We recently passed a bill providing that the Government could raise hemp in £entral America, there is any special thing only the Government can do, I have no great objection to author izing it to do it, but the general power to go into any business it wants to go into seems to me to be wholly unjustified. If that Sixth. The control of real-estate credit. The chief difficulty with that is that it is rather difficult to pick out real-estate credit from other credit..I think we can sat isfactorily control real-estate credit by the general control of the banks. The Federal Reserve Board has not taken any steps, so far as I know, tp try to ‘re strict the inflation which started before the Korean war, and cer tainly there has been no effort to restrict the over-all amount of bank loans. Bank loans have in creased approximately* $3,000,000, 000 within the pas. to months. That is, perhaps, not extraordin ary, considering the increase in general business activity, but, nevertheless, if we do not want to go on with inflation it seems to me that bank loans should be held at about where they are in total. Real-estate credit, I think, is in cluded. Seventh. The control of margins on commodity exchanges Last year we examined that and did not feel that the exact amount of margins on commodity exchanges had anything to do with the price increases which oc curred 2 or 3 years ago. I think Congress rejected the request for a further control over margins for fear a higher margin would entirely destroy the hedging mar ket. The ^ower to go Into Eighth. "And Before You Know If../* anybody’s business and subpena any information, confidential or otherwise. I do not think I have ever seen such broad power to go into anyone's business and re quire him to bring all the evidence which .the President might de mand* It is significant that some of these powers were sought in peace time in the Spence bill, and there is at least a suspicion that the present crisis is being used to se cure powers long desire^ but unrelated to present necessities. AH these powers as well as price control, wage control, and rationing might well be part of a general grant in case of all-out war. I havr“rmphasired th? fact tfiat all-out war means taking such a large proportion, 50 percent, of all production that it cannot pos- Again, Mr President, what I de sire to emphasize is that what we are facing today is something that we have not faced before. It is a special state of semiwar. It is a condition which calls for a great sacrifice on the part of the people. But it is, not as in the case of all out war, a condition which can be financed on a pay-as-you-go basis, a condition to which we can adjust our economy and still maintain as large a part as pos sible of the freedom and the lib erty and the progress which are essential to a free economy. I suggest, is The program which therefore, at this time lows: 1 as fol- on the ln During have First Impose controls crease of private credit, the past year, bank loans increased $3,000,000,000. Consumer credit has increased $2,500,000, 000. The inflationary effect of housing credit is hard to calculate in figures, but it has been sub stantial. Without doubt these to creases in credit plus the Gov ernment deficit of more than $3, 000,000,000 in the past year are responsible for the increased prices and the inflationary trend which developed even before the Korean war. The President has already moved to check toe Gov ernment stimulation of. 'housing credit, although he seems to have done it rather to save materials for the war than as part of any general move to check inflation. I favor also the granting of power to control consumer credit, which has become such an im portant factor in modern life Government has always controlled credit through the banks. Every responsible government controls and prevents the development of excessive credit, which builds up purchasing power without corres ponding production, and therefore tends toward inflation. It seems to me proper, today, to extend it to consumer credit, in order that the whole field may be covered. I do not quite see the need for checking private real-estate credit, which is covered specially in the bill, because I believe it can be controlled through the general control of bank lending. I see no reason to turn over the whole control of credit to the President, as proposed in the new bill- In my opinion, it should be retain ed in the Federal Reserve Board, which already has full power over bank credit. Second. The Government should reduce domestic expenditures. Just as civilians generally will have to make some sacrifice in their plans, so must also the Govern ment and the communities, as far as their own domestic expendi tures are concerned. levied to expendi be levied Third, Taxes must be cover all contemplated tures, and they should at once. A week ago the Senator from Virginia (Mr. Robertson) proposed a general increase of 10 per cent in all income taxes. That would produce oqly about $3,000, 000,000. Merely to give an idea of the volume of what we are faced with here, an increase of 20 percent on all corporation and personal incomes would only pro duce about $6,000,000,000 a year. An increase of 25 percent would only produce $7,500,000,000 a year. Of course, the increased expendi tures will not begin immediately, so it requires no more complete calculation to determine just how much of an increase is necessary to balance expenditures during the next 8 months..By that time Congress would be in a position to enact a more fermaneul tax Fourth. With such a program, I believe it is unnecessary to grant any such arbitrary and dictatorial powers over industry as is pro posed in the bill recently intro duced. The President’s message is comparatively mild. The bill it self goes far beyond the messagp. It includes some controls which did not even exist in the Second World War. It is perhaps signif icant that it omits onl ythose con trols which might be unpopular namely, detailed price control and consumer rationing. Also, it puts off the levying of taxes, apparent ly, until an “appropriate time/’ But if the other controls are granted in this present bill, it seems to me those final controls must inevitably follow after the election. It also omits immediate taxation which might be consider ed unpopular. I do not think the people realize how extreme the controls proposed in the bill are, and I point out a few of those which are now requested: First. The right to* require any one to accept and perform any contract apparently on terms to be fixed by the Government. At least I see no machinery set up by which it can be determined how the price is to be fixed. Second. The right to "allocate materials and facilities.” The “allocation of materials’* I think were the words used in the Second War Powers Act, in the World War, to justify a general ration ing. Consumer rationing is ex pressly excepted in this bill, but apparently we could ration right down to the grocer, and the gro cer would have to invent his system of rationing among consumers. It seems to me this language would enable the Presi dent to shut down any industry in the United States by refusing to allocate materials to it, to re quire any industry to shift from one kind of manufacture to an sibly be financed by taxation, and therefore, we have to treat-it on a different basis. own the I would not object to working on a draft of a statute which could be promptly enacted in case such a war occurred. Even then it seems to me that powers given are much too arbitrary and with out the proper safeguards of ap peal which are necessary to as sure justice, even in time of war. But there are two principals which I want to assert as stren uously as I can: First. Arbitray powers should not be granted unless they are necessary for the particular crisis which we face. Second. Arbitrary government control is not a cure for inflation. We fool ourselves if we think that these controls prevent in flation. They attempt to prevent the results without striking at the cause- The way to prevent in- 9 —4 I ■flation ts to go on' a pay-as-you* go basis.
