LISTEN AMERICANS!
. by George S. Benson
President Of Harding College

The five big private electric companies in New York
state doing what the economic planners in this country
SAID couldn't be done They proposing to build $500
100000 power producing project the Niagara River, fl
nanced with their money! The economic planners, whose
goal has been the Specialization Of the entire L. $. electric
industry have contendod the federal government must
build the big power projects because private companies do
not have the necessary financial resources.
1t is true that single private company match the
federal governments ability to spend tiblion-doar
amounts collected from the taxpayers But groups of private
companies operating single state region finance
any feasible project And that what they proposing o
Congress nevertheless want the government and not private
enterprise to build and and operate the proposed new
Niagara power plant. The issue therefore, is cearcut
choice between government and private ownership.
Government ownership would mean the spending of
S390000000 and probably great deal more, of the tax
costs VIGOROUSLY high Usually project estimated by!
people S100000000 actually about
twice that amount before the T. s. Treasury gets through
paying the bills. With the government doing it, the Niagara
project likely would cost 100000 O00-half billion And
in operation wouldn't be taxpayer like the pryae
companies.
If the private companies permitted to build it, the
hundreds of millions paid by taxpayers will be available for
other heavy OF government And when fully com
peted the Niagara project if owned by private enterprise
would pay estimated $23000000 in money each
year!

An article concerning Deep Greek

NOTHING TO BOAST
ABOUT

We had a peculiar request this
week from lady from Jessups. In
a letter she explained that during
showing on TV. Sunday of snakes
was told by a person that Garrett
county had no rattlesnakes OF
water moccasin. know several
years ago that David Glaze caught
a number of rattlesnakes and one
very large, and had the skins
tanned. Also he caught cotton
mouth water moccasin which was
to have young.
"Will you please try to see David
Glaze, who still resides there, see
those skins and verify in your
newspaper that Garrett county has
rattlesnakes and water moccasins
so that the person | was telling
this to won't think I had a pipe
dream. I also recall some years
back of a couple boys on a horse
coming upon a den of rattlers at a
place called Offutt's old mill sec
ton, out from Oakland VIII be
waiting to see an item in The Re
publican on snakes"
Now having snakes in Garrett
county, especially rattlesnakes, is
nothing to boast about, but the
back issues of the paper are spot
ted with accounts of persons who
have killed them, large and small.
They have been caught in many
sections Of the county-and cos
perheads too. We sort of doubt the
one about the cotton mouth water
moccasin but maybe David Glaze
will see this and come forth with
his proof which this woman seems
to desire so strongly.
Or if anyone has killed any rat
tiers lately they can let this office
know and we will pass the word
along to that woman from Jessups
Really, they are nothing to boast
about. We have lots of other things
here we'd rather praise.

FROM MONKEYS?

quoted the following poem which

Three monkeys sat in a coconut

Discussing things as they're said
to be.
Said one to the other, now listen

There's certain rumor that can't
be true,
That man descended from our

The very idea is a disgrace!
No monkey ever deserted his wife,
Starved her babies and ruined her

And you've never known a mother

SERVING WITHOUT FANFARE

There has been little fanfare but he has gone

We speaking of the bills which sponsor

for the village of CALDWELL
The preliminary report has been compiled by the
division of water, CALDWELL visited the

The report is very detailed with excellent
dations which the village officials will follow in sup

1t not necessary for Rep James to do single thing
about the local water supply for certainly it did not
under his category.
But he didn't let that stop him and for several weeks
now this project has received his undivided attention
Rep James will step out of the picture the village
officials under the splendid leadership of Mayor Homer
Johnson will take and the recommendations will
be followed out to the letter.
Several months ago, Rep James felt that the state
highway from Sarahsve to Pleasant City should receive
attention He contacted the proper officials they sent
representative down to Caldwell and with Rep James, he
went the entire route.
1t only few weeks ago that the road prepared

stage of the 1854 election it appears that he might be

James Dutton, Alden F. War

to drill on the banks of Duck
Creek, near Macksburg, where
Dutton had observed a show of
oil on the waters of the creek.

that on the 18th day of August,
