Resistance to Presidents Spending
Regarded as Congress- Measure Of Greatness

Regarded as Congress Measure Of Greatness
To the Editor Of The
AS the 81st Congress meets again. this
plain citizen would like to express his views
of government in your fine paper.
The 80th Congress was. and the 81st Con-
gress so far has been good Congress simply
because it resisted the demands for power
by power-hungry little man from Missouri.
The history of free governments indicates
that men became free as their representa-
tives acquired greater power to resist the
executive power of the king or other chief
executive. The source of the executive
power is in the tax collector AS the people
learned to diminish the executive ability to
deprive men Of their earnings, so their free
dom increased.
President Truman's continued insistence
on greater taxes and on more and more Fed
eral Government projects and bureaus is an
ominous indication that we have not learned
the bitter lessons Of history and that we
gradually are losing many Of the freedoms
for which men have died. When Mr.. Tru-
man. in effect, tells us that he and his dog
catcher-level cohorts know better how to
spend the peoples money for them than they
know themselves, he is abrogating the Dec
Iaration of Independence, which said plainly
that "all men are created equal" That can
only medu LII tIllS Case, tlldt CIlc CoLiIuoH
people are as good judges of how their
money should be spent as are Mr.. Truman's
ward-heelers. When the people delegate
their judgment on spending their money to
the politicians, they are, in effect, saying
that they no longer are fit for self-govern-
ment.
The 81st Congress resistance to Mr.. Tru-
mans demands must be the measure of It's
greatness. To whatever extent the Congress
yields to Mr.. Trumans demands to increase
taxes and the national debt, to that extent
will it deserve the condemnation OF rosterity
which will have to pay for Mr.. Trunan's
greed and Congress folly

Year Old Anti Sufhoqist Votesin MARYLAND

A 100-year-old Takoma Park
MD woman who once opposed
suffrage for women voted yester-
day in the Maryland and Mont
gomery County primaries.
Mrs. Abbie K. Cleaveland, of 614
Flower avenue, voted as Repub-
lican as she has done every elec-
ton since women were granted
the right to vote in August, 1920.
Mrs. Cleaveland, originally from
Marietta. Ohio, has lived at the
Takoma Park address with her
only daughter, Mrs. Elon G. Sails
bury, for the last seven years. Un-
til the death of her husband,
Frank N. Cleaveland. in 1922, she
had lived most of her life in Can
ton, N. Y. 1t was while living
there that she vigorously opposed
voting for women and was an
active member of an antisuffrage
organization.
Asserting at first she did not be-
lieve women should have the re-
sponsibility of voting, Mrs. Cleave-
land added she later changed her
mind after the suffrage measure
was passed and now believes it's
a privilege and duty" for women
to vote.
Mrs. Cleaveland voted for D.
John Markey for Maryland Sena-
tor, and added later she thought
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower would
make the "best man" for the next

Augusta ParochiaI Pupils
Denied Use OF School Bus
BY the Assoeioted Press

STAUNTON, Va, Sept. 19.-The
Augusta County School Board yes
terday turned down a request of
Catholic patrons for bus service to
transport number of pupils from
the county to parochial schools in
Staunton.
John j. Tracey. a Middlebrook
School patron, presented the re-
quest and condemned the Middle
brook School, which he charged
was inferior to the parochial
schools and where he said his
children were the subject of jeers
because they were Catholics.
The board pointed to provisions
in the State code which prescribe
that transportation shall be pro-
vided only for pupils attending
the public schools. The board last
year refused similar requests sub
mitted by the Mennonite and Amish
sectS for the same reason.
