The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country Right or Wrong BETTER BUT STILL BAD The new price control law is better than its predecessor-for the reason that it modifies and eliminates some of the powers of the controllers. But it is still a bad law-for the reason that any- thing which permits political dictation of the economy, and political tinkering with the na- tural law of supply and demand, is bad. Shortly before the new law was passed, the house of representatives did the right thing by voting for a measure which would have lifted virtually all controls on consumer goods. How- ever, strong pressures were brought to bear and the compromise bill was accepted. It will be a sad day for this country if we ever forget that controls deal only-with the symptoms of the economic disease called inflation, not with the disease itself. Controls are based on the theory that all we have to do is to tell the mer- chant and manufacturer and others concerned that this article or that must be sold for such- and-such a price. They conveniently overlook the fact that the true causes of inflation are found in such menaces as unbalanced budgets, an ever- growing federal debt, and wanton waste and fis- cal irresponsibility- in every branch of govern- ment. It's one thing to tell merchant and manufac- turer what can be charged for goods. It's a very different thing to make people buy and sell the goods if the politically-established price is too low to pay the costs and leave some kind of a profit. And that is why, in nation after nation, controls have bred scarcity and reduced living standards. Congress should have abandoned the controls entirely. And everyone who believes in a free, dynamic economy should keep on working to- ward that end. Some married folks get along because they do as she likes. Soon .. No Barrel! IKE'S NOMINATION (Reprinted from Holmes County Advertiser) The action of Republican delegates at Chicago in nominating General Dwight D. Eisenhower for the presidency gives the Republican party a popular hero with which to battle the Democrats in November. If the public opinion polls can be relied upon, General Eisenhower has a greater popularity rating among American citizens than any other candidate, Republican or Democrat. Obviously, this belief was the greatest asset General Eisenhower and his supporters had in their battle to win the nomination for the gen- eral. Many Republicans who thought that Sena- tor Robert A. Taft deserved the nomination be- cause of his generally-accepted position as "Mr. Republican," and because of his long service and courage in the party's darkest days, nevertheless were persuaded to support General Eisenhower on the assumption that he would be a better drawing card. General Eisenhower has an opportunity to crack the Solid South, depending partly on the Democrats, and he has high hopes of winning independent and former Democratic voters to. the Republican party this year. His nomination means that the Democrats have a less clear-cut case against the opposition and that the Demo- cratic candidate will be up against one who might attract large numbers of Democratic votes. General Eisenhower himself believes he is re- juvenating the Republican party and once again making it the party of the average voter. It is probably accurate to say the Eisenhower threat is the greatest challenge to the Democratic party in the past twenty years. Unless all the polls, and most of the experts, are wrong, General Eisen- hower is going to be a tough candidate to defeat. ACT TWO With his usual flair for timing, John L. Lewis sent his contract termination notice to the coal operators the day before your friend (he aint Sours) Harry Truman announced the steel settle- ment. Thus, there could be a coal strike any time after September 20, when the 60 days of required ,notice are up. The workers' demands, or more accurately, Mr. Lewis', were still a profound secret as this was written. Regardless of the extensive negotiation talks that will ensue, only two points are significant. The steel workers got theirs, didn't they? . And you can't make steel without coal. Latest available figures show that there are 1,307,000 civilian employes on the federal pay- roll working in the.defense department to serve our military personnel of 3,500,000. Can you wonder why our taxes are ever mounting? People who long for "the good old days" would hate to read this stuff with a candle or a kero- sene lamp.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE FIVE Seasons This Year Game Commission Ties In With Federal Setup; Open Season for Other Game Set Florida will have two state-wide hunting seasons for mourning dove this fall and winter. One will run from October 1 through 15, and the season will then reopen from De- cember 15 through 29. The state game and fresh water fish commission announces it has accepted the dates set by the fed- eral fish and wildlife service. Last year, dove hunting was permitted in most counties from Decenber 15 through January 13. However, for many years there has been an early October season in Dade. Broward and Monroe counties. The game commission says fed- eral authorities declined to permit the state to set up different hunt- ing seasons for the southeastern counties and the rest of the state, so the split season was agreed to as the one that would be fairest to all hunters in all sections. It has been found that Florida gets a big early flight of young doves in October, then a gradual buildup in dove population to a peak in late December, and the early October season in the south- ern tip of the state was allowed on the strength of an old theory that doves in that section cane from Cuba, where there are no shooting controls; and it was thought to be just as well to let Floridians as Cu- bans shoot the birds. However, says the commission, recent experiments with dyed and banded birds have shown many of the birds reaching South Florida in October have been in Northwest Florida just a few days earlier and "the original opinion that those birds are Cuban birds is apparently erroneous." Although the season will be split it will provide 30' days of hunting,: just as the single season did last CARD OF THANKS TO ALL THE VOTERS OF GULF COUNTY: I wish it were possible that I could sit down and talk with each of you today, whereby I might be able in some way to convey to you my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to you, the voters of Gulf County, who made it possible for me to remain in the runoff election for your Tax Collector.
