THE AMERICAN WAY
CONQUEST

The increasing volume of pub
lie discussion regarding the
Proposed 23rd Amendment, ;"
designed to prohibit the federal
government from competing
with the enterprises of its citi-
zens, is beginning to produce
some surprising results.
Sustaining the need for this
proposed amendment, the Hoov-
er Commission reports are de-
failing the amazing degree to
which the properties and enter
prises of the American people
have been the target of political
conquest.
So great a controversy has de.
veloped regarding this conquest
that many federal groups are
now involved in making surveys,
the asserted purpose of which
is to discover exactly how much
land the federal government has
taken over. We may possibly
assume that these inventories
are now being undertaken with a
view Of selling these lands back
to the American people from
whom they were taken.
The various federal agencies
have long Dragged about their
| growing empires. Three of these
agencies have published state
ments regarding the volume of
their land holdings in the 1885,
u. S. Government Organization
| Manual.
On pages 1877 and 1913 of the
Manual, the Department of the
Interior describes its vast empire
saying: "The jurisdiction of the
Department extends over the
continental United States, tc
islands in the Caribbean anc
South Pacific, and to lands ir
| the Arctic Circle. 1t includes Gus
tody of $50 million acres Of
land"
The Official land area of con-
tinental United States is 1905,
361 ,920 acres, and the total lane
and water area of the u. S. anc

Patriotic Season

Patriotic Season
May 20 was Armed Forces
Day. May 80 is Memorial Day.
June Ia is Flag Day and it is
followed two weeks later by the
GLORIOUS 4th". On those days
we raise the bunting and the
Stars and Stripes with justifi-
able patriotic pride.
Sometimes we criticize our
Nation for limiting patriotism to
holidays. However, it has been
my observation that such criti-
cism does our people a gross in
justice. America is peopled by
patriots, who in their lives prac-
tlce their devotion to their Ma
ton, 365 days a year. Our his
tory shows clearly the love we
have for our country. On the
holidays we give public recogni-
ton to the kind of America and
Americans that made our Nation
great.
Subscription TV
All of the controversies on
public issues are not necessarily
focused in the Congress. Many
are argued over long periods of
time and decided by the Gov
ernment's various regulatory
agencies whose job it is to pro-
tect the public interest. The
agency which was established
to provide orderly processes in
all our communication industry
is the Federal Communications
Commission.
At this time, the FEC is con-
sidering the problem of grant
ing authority for pay-as-you-see
or subscription television. This
issue has inspired bitter argu,
ments. The effect of the ultimate
| decision will reach into virtually
| every home in America. Briefly
| the problem arises from the

SIaie Highways
Will Be Oiled
For Dust control

All traffic bound roads on the
state highway system in Noble
County viii receive an applica-
ton of oil or, more correctly,
liquid asphalt material as a
means of combating the sum-
mertime dust problem.
Contracts have been awarded
to Walter H. Jones, Ohio Valley
Paving Co. and John G.. Witten
for the furnishing and applying
of this material. Work will begin
during the week of May 9th.
Max r. Farley, Division Engi-
neer, announces that the follow
ing routes are scheduled for
treatment: State Routes 146, 215,
260, 285, 563, 564, SOS, 566, STA,
5l3, $40, and 724.
Some two or five days, de-
pending on weather conditions,
will be required for the oil to
soak in, states Mr.. Farley. Only
essential traffic and at a reduced
speed over these roads during
the drying-in period will result
in a better and longer lasting
job. Cooperation of motorists
will be beneficial to proper and
speedy completion of this work.
