The Great Game Of Politics

The defeat of the Democratic party in the
recent general elections has caused a number
of fairly influential Democrats to suggest
that President Truman resign and permit a
Republican leader, such as Senator Vanden-
burg, to succeed him as president.
Senator Fullbright, an influential younger
member of the Senate, is one who suggests
this course. Harold Ickes, former secretary
of the interior, is another. Marshal Field,
wealthy northern Democrat and owner of
the Chicago Sun. daily newspaper, has also
given his endorsement to this movement. All
of these men, it should be remembered, are
old-line Democratic supporters, and even
New Dealers" or were in the days when
the New Deal was alive. Why then do they
suggest that the Democratic president resign
and yield his place to a Republican?
These reasons are easily understood and,
while we do not agree with them, We must
admit that they have something of a case on
their side. Let us look at their reasons. First
of all they say that Truman has followed such
a weak and inconsistent policy that he has
lost the confidence of the people. The people
have given control of the House and Senate
to the Republicans and these particular
Democrats think the president should resign,
as the British prime minister always does
when his party loses control of Parliament.
The Conservative party of Prime Minister
Churchill, for example, was defeated at the
polls by the Labor party a year and a half
ago. Churchill, following British custom, i'm
mediately resigned. A Labor party leader,
Mr.. Atlee, was appointed prime minister in
his stead. Those who consider this system
more responsive to the democratic will of the
people suggest that Truman now replace
Secretary of State Byrnes with a Republican,
such as Vandenburg and resign; this sue
cession would of course be automatic since
there is no vice president under Truman,
Messrs Fullbright, Ickes and Field point
out in undeniable justification. that history
teaches US the opposing parties will block
Truman's efforts at every opportunity for
the next two years. We now face a deadlock
etween the president and the Congress in a
critical period of history when we can i'll af-
ford a deadlock.
Mr.. Ickes carries the argument further to
assert that things are going to be royalty
messed up in any event by the time the next
presidential election rolls around in l948.
Let the Republicans get control of the whole

Vote For The Bond Issue

bank, but it cannot be touched for this pur-
pose, even if the schools were unable to open
because of lack of funds.
Funds for operation and maintenance can
be obtained only through the millage tax
and the only way these funds can be in
creased is through upping assessments, or
placing the FPHA property in Pascagoula
on the tax rolls. {
1t is estimated that if the bone issue is
passed the bonds can be sold for from one
and one-half to one and three-quarter per
cent interest. School bonds issues of other
county districts sold during the past several
months bear out this estimate as accurate.
With such an interest rate a tWo-mill levy
would be adequate for interest and retire
ment. This would amount to So per $1,000 of
assessment, on the basis of the districts
present total assessment. A fixed sum would
be needed for interest and retirement for
the bonds and a raise in assessment rates
would simply mean that the millage would
be lowered to where it would produce the
same amount as did the higher millage on a
lower assessment.
These constitute the major objections that
we nave heard, and we believe that the facts
make gr~oundless the objections.
We believe that Pascagoula has a brighter
future than any other city on the Gulf Coast.
We believe that such a structure forms a
definite part of that future. We believe that
an affirmative vote will show the confidence
of Pascagoulans in the future of their city.
And finally, the most important factor in
voIved in tomorrow's voting is to vote!
II you are for the bond issue, but fail to
go to the polls and vote, you have in reality
cast a vote against it, for the proposal must
have a majority of the districts qualified
voters VOTE FOR 1T in order to carry.
