long"
Further along he said:
And let us not deceive our
selves: just as an era of
scarcity created one set of
values and institutions. so an
era of abundance will create
new values and new institu-
tions."
Stevenson did not try to
spell out the effect of this era
on politics. However, he did
claim that the Democrats had
laid the foundations for the
present period of expansion
and abundance in the many
measures of the New Deal
and Fair Deal that increased
the purchasing power of the
great mass of our people.
What has happened polit-
ically was put in more honey
phrases than Stevenson
usually uses by a vigorous and
salty Democrat, the late
Maury Maverick of Texas,
former House member. Speak
ing of the 1852 Eisenhower
avalanche which engulfed his
own State, he said of many of
his fellow citizens and voters:
Look at EN-. When they
were fiat on their backs we
gave them Hole Home Own

New Deal ed ergency agency
and saved their homes for
them. Then we gave them

'Quoifyinq the LA

I read with deep interest
your editorial on Qualifying
the ILA," referring in part to
the evil record of the Inter-
national Longshoremen's As
ISOLATION. The most striking
part of this editorial was con-
tanned in the last two SEN
fences, which I quote:
THE real interests of the
employers, of the port COM
munities and even the national
economy itself are left now at
the mercy Of the disreputable
union. We think there is
something very wrong with a
law that permits such a
result"
Yes, there is something very
wrong with a law that permits
a corrupt union to dominate
the shipping of the Atlantic
and Gulf ports. But the real
wrong lies even deeper. It is
the law that permits strikes
that can cripple our national
economy. The period of 80
days so-called cooling period"
is absolutely worthless if not
invoked, as in the recent steel
strike. And even if invoked.
there is nothing to prevent a
union from continuing a strike
after that period. The strike
is a terrible weapon in the
hands of union that can
cripple the national economy.
and it should be outlawed.
The country has a right and
a duty to protect itself against
the predatory operations of a
labor union.
Many years ago the evil Of
monopoly in industry and
other enterprises was recog-
nized, and outlawed. 1t was
a good law in the interest of
all the people. Is there any
good reason why labor monop-
olies should be permitted to
exist in essential industries
and public utilities? These
labor monopolies are not only
permitted to exist but are ac-
tually protected by law. It
Just doesn't make sense to per-
NIT labor monopolies to place
a moose around our necks and
permit them to tighten the

are met. Here's hoping the

thing about it.

1HoMAs [. STOKES

NEW YORK.-During the
Franklin D. Roosevelt era of
reform, relief and rehabili-
tation from depression, the
industrial East that stretches
out away from this city was
an almost impregnable strong
hold of the Democratic Party.
On recurring election year
pllgrlmages up this way,
Franklin D. Roosevelt rode
confidently through a CRATE
full populace.
This week Republican
President came riding, in ad-
vance of another election, on
a visit to the East which
all of it-left the Democratic
Party four years ago and fell
into line behind him.
While President Eisenhower
did not get the ecStatic well
come once accorded the man
who put him in command of
our armies in Europe, never
theless he rode in confidence
that the bulk of this Eastern
and New England area again
will stay with him-at least
so the polls tell him. Excep-
tons might be Pennsylvania
and Rhode Island.
What has happened to bring
about this change?
Adlai Stevenson, who got
out of town after a two-day
visit just as the President ar
rived, gave diagnosis before
he left of an economic change
that has affected our politics.
He said: Our society is in a
state of transition. In a
speech to businessmen, he
elaborated this way:
I'VE have moved out of the
bleak past, when our problem
was scarcity and our task
the hard one of distributing
too few goods among too many
people. We are finally enter
ing that age of abundance of

pie who tremble on the sidelines

ger.
Just because this administra-

make any progress toward safe
disarmament or even toward

Eight years ago today I was
running for Governor against a
Republican administration that
had lost the confidence of the
people of Illinois-and for good
reasons. And. you know, from
what's been going on here in
Illinois again under another Re-
publican administration, / have
a feeling as l stand here today
that this is where I came in. I
also have the feeling that this
is where the Republicans go out
again-and for even better
reasons.
Those years as Governor were
the most fruitful and satisfying
of my life. It's hard to believe
that they could have torn down
so fast and so sllamelessly what
the whole State took such a pride
in. for it seemed to me we all
felt that way about tin build
ing up. And vet I'm reminded
Of the old couplet-that what it
takes the builders years to do,
the wreckerS can wreck in a day
or two.
Recalls 1852 Speech
I can only say that we served
due notice four years ago. ]
came across the other day a
speech I made during the 1852
State campaign. And because
the present Republican candi-
date seems to have shown a
special interest recently In his
tory-which he rewrites with
contempt for truth-I'm going
to read paragraph of that
October, 1852, speech.
1t notes that after four years
of Democratic rule the Job of
giving Illinois decent govern
ment had been well started, but
by no means ended. And then
said that 1.-THE State govern
ment of Illinois could slip right
back to where we found it in
l948." that the Republican cam
didate for Governor represented
the same misgovernment the
people had voted against in l948
THE same ola crowd. using
the same old methods and with
the same old political designs
in their hearts. They have no
program or purpose-except to
get back in Office. Shamelessly
careless with the truth. they
count upon the voters having
short memories, or being too pre-
occupied with other things to
worry about who runs the gov
eminent in Illinois"
Only One Cure
Well, it doesn't do any good
to say. Il told you So There's
just one cure for corruption and
Observation-Disclosures the good
old American phrase. Throw
the raScals out That's the cure
We administered in l948-and
it's the cure we're going to ad-

/ 1t is evidently common knowl-
edge in the insurance business
around that country that, if you
do business with the Department
of Insurance in Illinois, you
better do it through a particular
channel.
Once again politics, patron

sentative Of the new" Repub-

anyone suggested that this

I understand that President

his services to the party.
wonder what the press of
the country would say if it had
been a Democratic national
chairman who took his holiday

But for that matter, there
was little comment when this

And it is this same Mr.. Leon

to testify before a congressional
committee about the serious
charge that large Government

And it was this administration

Bricker And Henderson
Support FuIbrighi Bill
Which President Vetoes

President Dwight d. Eisen
hover vetoed the controversial
Fulbright-Harris natural gas bill
Friday.
The bill, which would exempt
natural gas producers from
direct federal controls, has
been a hot issue for the past
several weeks during the Senate
debate. A full scale investigation
is now being waged to determine
how much graft or bribery was
used in forcing the passage OF
this bill.
In the Senate, John w. Brick,
err voted for the Fulbright-H Harris
bill but Senator George Bender
voted against it.
Last July %, 1855, the House
of Representatives passed this
same bill, 209 to 203.
1t was supported at that time
by Rep. John E. Henderson of the
18th district who voted yes or
this controversial bill.
1t also marks the first time
that Henderson and the Eisen'
hover program have not beer

Personal Tax Forms
Are Beinq Mailed Out

Personal property tax returns
are being mailed this week in
Noble county, according to
Auditor c. r. Atkinson, who said
the collection would continue
until March 81.
Taxpayers are again being
urged to return the forms with
them when they come to the
auditors office to compile the
necessary data. There is only a
limited number of these forms
and each recipient must have his
own when he comes to the
auditors office for help in filling
them out.
Announcement was also made
today by Treasurer A. r. Hicks
that the tax books in this county
for the first half Of the 1855 real
estate tax would close as OF
Feb. 30.
His records on Monday, Feb
20, revealed that $93,653.13 had
been collected as of that date.
This would indicate that many
more have yet to pay their taxes
for the total collection usually
amounts to approximately $780,
