IT'S NOT INSURANCE

The Chicago Tribune observes that to
call the Presidents proposed con1pp195sf9fIfsy'
health program insurance" iso4a u mis-
homer. :" The fundamental principle
of insurance" says the Tribune, lis that the
rate or premium is prOportlonate to the
risk involved, and that all policy holders
who offer the same risk pay the same rate.
The so-calIed health insurance pro-
gram embOdies neither of these principles,
common to all insurance The man with
record of good health gets no rating ad-
vantage over the man who has record
Of chronic i'll health. Furthermore, pay

1T may be a legitimate public purpose
TO tax people in order to, provide medical
care for their less healthy, less prosperous,
or less capable fellow citizens. That in
fact. is already done through unsupported
hospitals. and clinics. But such a project is
not insurance. It's new form of taxation
and very heavy one, and its proponents
ought to acknowledge that fact in the be-
ginning.

CHEAP" MONEY, HIGH PRICES

It is a common occurrence to hear per-
sons recoil with a muttered curse at the
Outrageous prices they are asked to pay
for scores of necessities and luXuries. Cen
orally their minds run belligerently back

Que spectacle of all is the way various
groups will charge each otherSWith. being

they are all robbers. The farmer cuSses3 the
merchant; the merchant cusseS the farmer
and the consumer cusses them both-when
he is playing the role of consumer. If he
also plays the role of family breadwinner,
he. too. is rObber of some sort during
office or work hours. This apparently is
the normal behavior of a people in a land
being visited by initiation.
No one ever curses our annual Federal
deficit of tens of billions when he looks at
the high price of a desired article, but it is
AT the heart of our price problems. Nor,
50 far as is ascertainable, does anyone ever

As long as the government continues
to function on borrowed money, just so

rowed money has meant cheap money
and high prices.

THE STATES CAN'T TAKE 1T

An item from an Oregon newspaper
reports that high costs peril highway work
plans. Recent bids for proposed projects
were million dollars in excess of esti-
mates of the State Highway Commission.
And heSeq eStlmates@ had been. pitched so
,,1eS, cent above -theeeOst levels of jdS41 to
make WaNofoi' Increased ocosts.n Bids 'reT,
'eeived ranged from4 z to- rs perYcent alb pve
the Commissions estimates. AS RESULT,
it was stated that lit is impossible to pro
coed with the road program on the basis
of the bids received. :"
1t seems the officials of the state of
Oregon have never heard of OPA's cost
absorption policy which, in effect, says
that it is okay for costs to rise so long as
the public doesn't find out about it. OPA
states its policy another way: Manufac-
turers' costs and prices may rise, but not
so the retailers. Retail prices must not re-
fleet increased costs. The OPA is proud of
the fact that it is sticking to this program
like dog to a root The retailers are criti-
cized as promoters of initiation if they dare
to cry impossible" in protesting cost alb

says>it is impossible for the state treasury
to absorb inflated costs but serves noe
tfce that road Construction viii be stopped.
What would happen if the. retailers, of the
country lay down in this fashion ? The up
roar would rival the blast of an atomic ex-
plosion.
There are over a million retailers
faced with the dilemma of rising costs and
frozen retail prices. These retailers are
being asked to carry the main burden of
initiation. This is neither fair nor workable
The only possible result is lowered produc-
ton as thousands of merchants are slowly
forced to drop the distribution of neces-
sary items.

Assistant State Attorney William V.
Albury, shortly before he left for Miami
to attend to official duties there, suggested
that The Citizen issue warning about the
necessity of placing markers at dead-end
streets in Key West.
1--WE are familiar with those Streets"
he said, "but the strangers coming to town
are not, and they run the risk of driving
beyond the dead-ends and being injured
or killed" 81. .:e.r.} s,uods:o., -"
We informed Mr. AIbury that The
Citizen has published several editorials
about one dead-end street alone = the
southerly end of Whitehead street. Not
only have we said that marker should be
put there but an electric light also, so that
a driver at night would be able to see that
he was coming to the end of the street.
Whitehead street is so dangerous that
even several Key Westers have driven over
the foot-high wall there, and their cars
plunged into the sea.
There used to be a marker at the
southery end of the Roosevelt boulevard
on the south shore, but Peace Justice Es-
quinaldo informed us that it was blown
away during the October Is hurricane in
1914 that passed 40 miles west of Key
West, and the marker had not been re-
placed up to New Years morning. when
a man drove over the dead-end and was
killed and his brother was badly iniufd I'D.

directed, by a friend, to the Mon
roe County Clinic. Before l had
chance to tell the clerk there my
case l was told, in a very uncivil
manner, that l could not receive
any treatment there, l was not
interested in receiving something
for nothing" I was only concerned
with my injury and was willing
to pay for treatment received but
the clerk there acted as though !

entering the building.

in about her neck and ears. Her
