SCIENTIST BLAMES SCIENTISTS

KENT, Ohio Up A Kent State
professor says scientists them
selves are partly responsible for
the small number of young people
attracted to careers in science.
DR.. Ralph w. Dexter, biological
researcher, says "in spite of the
role that science has played in
developing modern civilization, the
the public has little knowledge
and little appreciation of science
scientists"
He saws scientists themselves
could improve the situation by
giving more attention to social is
sues. A more sympathetic press and
a more sympathetic public could do
much to correct unfavorable i'm
pressiOns."

HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS

School days have arrived once again, even
though millions of youngsters were probably
willing to do just about anything to prevent
the fateful day-the first day of the new
school year-from arriving.
However, in spite of all the pangs of dis
tress and despair, the cOuntry's youth will
survive another school year and emerge the
better for it. What is more important they
will have a great deal of fun during the
school year and have the satisfaction of
knowing that they are attending the great
est school system in the world.
1t is interesting to note that there are
those today who feel that school should be a
twelve-month proposition. They believe that
in the current shortage of class rooms and
teachers more pupils could be accommodated
on a twelve-month schedule and facilities
could be used full time-thereby alleviating
the shortage.
However, we are inclined to string along
with the old system-nine month of school
and three months of vacation.
So, as the 1888 school year gets under
way we encourage the school children in our
community to apply themselves so they can
get the most out of our local schools. And we
assure them that next June will eventually
arrive and that another summer vacation
is inevitable-though the road may seen
long at the present time.

A SPECIAL SESSION?

President Eisenhower and Republican
leaders in Congress have been talking quite a
bit about a special session of Congress this
fall. The President has limited he might call
a special session to consider either foreign
aid or civil rights.
In addition, some of the Administration
leaders on Capitol Hill have openly threaten
ed to recommend a special session if Con-
gress does not comply with the Administra-
ton wishes. This is not the first time this
has happened, and President Eisenhower is
not the only President who has had to use
this weapons in manoeuverings with Con-
gress.
However, the principle OF threatening
Congress with a special session if the legis-
lative body does not approve the Executive
Departments recommendation is not sound.
In about ten per cent of the cases, where the
emergency arises or where enc fgency funds
are needed for national defense or security,
the President might be justified in calling a
special session.
However, on questions like civil rights
and foreign aid, the President has no consti-
tutional justification for calling Congress in
to special session merely because Congress
did not pass the kind of bill he wanted pass
ed In other words, Congress has the au-
thOrity and the function in our government
to decide on such matters.
In recent years this principle has become
somewhat confused. The Executive Depart
ment has obtained the right to use the "Car-
ry-over funds" system in its departments,
thus eliminating Congress- constitutional
role as the spending branch of the govern
ment. In additions, by threatening special
sessions and the Withholding of patronage,
the Executive Department has sometimes in
timidated congressman into acting against
their consciences.
Our system should not be handicapped by
4.
or threats of special sessions on domestic or
non-emergency bills. Such procedure, if car
ried to the extreme, could eventually mean a
further lessening of the power and authority
Of the one branch of the government elected
by the people-the legislative branch.

SEPTEMBER

1t is always hard to believe that summer
is coming to an end and September is upon
us-when the day arrives-but that day is
here and one of the most memorable months
of the year is at hand.
One of the most nostalgia things about
September is that it is the month of the Har-
vest Moon. This is the moon which rises
nearest to the autumnal equinox which comes
on September % at :27 a. M, this year.
Since the full moon on September 8 is the
nearest to the autumnal equinox by just a.
few hours, the full moon will be September
rather than October 8-the next full moon.
The Harvest Moon derives it's name from
the fact that the moon at this time of the
year rises several nights as about the same
time, rather than approximately one hour
later each night as is customary. In earlier
years before the time of lighted tractors, and
so on this afforded farmers extra time at the
end of the day to gather their crops
Historically, September has fewer histor-
ical anniversaries than most of the other
months. President Mckinley was shot in
1901, on September 6, dying eight days later
The New York Stock Exchange closed its
doors on September 20 in the famous 1878
panic.
In 1910, on September 7, the Rome-Berlin-
Tokyo Axis was announced in the Berlin
Chancellory, and on September l, 1889, Hit
Ter marched into Poland, touching off World
War Ill.

SHARP CONTRAST


1t is widely believed that just about all
farmers and farm organizations are enthus-
iaStically in favor of high, fixed price-sup-
ports. However, that is no longer the case.
More and more farmers and authoritative
farm spokesman recognize the urgent need
for less dependency by agriculture CT gov
ernment
A few months ago President Charles B.
Shuman of the American Farm Bureau fed
GRAFTON said in a speech: To-day the effects
of price-fixing in the government-supported
crops such as cotton, wheat, rice, and corn
furnish sharp contrast with the free live
stock market In January 1856, the aver
age farm price of hogs was $1,000 per hun
dred. Farmers cut hog production per
cent in 1856. AS a result, the farm price
of hogs was up to S17.30 per hundred in
January 1857, or 58.7 per cent higher than
the same month a year earlier. The hog
market, free OF the price-fiXing influence of
government program, was able to make an
adjustment and clean the market
Since Mr.. Shuman spoke, livestock prices
have held to levels that are favorable to the
producer-and, at the same time, these lev
els make possible retail prices for meat that
are attractive to consumers. In other words,
prices have been fair to all. And these prices
are established, not by fallible human beings,
but by the natural law of supply and de-
mand, working in free and open market.

HOPE FOR RELIEF BRIGHTER!
The nations taxpayers hope for relief
from the discriminatory, excessive federal
income rates shines brighter now that legis-
lation to that end has bipartisan support in
Congress.
Representative A. S. Herlong, Jr., Florida
Democrat, has introduced bill identical to
one previously introduced by Representative
A. N Sadlak, Connecticut Republican.
The identical bills would reduce individ-
ual and corporate rates-now as high as 81
per cent and 50 per cent respectively-to a
maximum of AZ per cent by series of an
nual reductions during the next five years.
The legislation introduced by both the
Northern Republican and the Southern Dem
ocrat takes note of the growing, nationwide
revolt against the high tax rates which are
eating away at the country's economy.
Relief certainly is long overdue and the
Sadlak-H -Herlong companion bills should be
an early order of business at the next ses-
sion of Congress

POWER OF THE PRESS

An 81-year-old country newspaperman,
Chet Lampson, editor of the weekly Jeffer-
son, Ohio, Gazette, has provided the country
with a dramatic example of the power of
the press. Mr. LampsOn's paper is small, and
its power was exerted against one of the
biggest organizations in existence-the u.
S. Treasury Department. But David slew
Goliath!
FL Here's what happened: Mr.. Lampson re-
ceived a notice from the Internal Revenue
Service demanding payment of an alleged in
come tax Indebtedness of So. The notice sent
his blood pressure soaring. First of ALL he
didn't believe he owed the money. But that
was a minor consideration. What really ang-
cred him was the insulting wording of the
notice, and its threats of attachment of in
come and seizure of property unless the
claim was paid at once.
Mr. Lampson didn't confne his views to
the columns of his own paper. He wrote the
President of the United States and various
other officials, including members of Con-
gress. He stated that, mo agency of Gov
ernment should be allowed to insult any citi-
zen, or deny him his constitutional rights or
infiict cruel and unusual punishment on
mere assumption that the taxpayer is a will
full viOlatOr of the income tax law" To make
a long story short, Mr. LampsOn got results.
The Internal Revenue Service is changing
the wording of its form, and you can bet that
the new version will be cOuched in much more
courteous language.
So a Small-tOWn neWSpaperman took up
the cudgel against branch of a great gov
ernment-and won a battle that affects the
rights and dignity of all our citizens. Honor
to him!

GOOD NEWS FOR TAXPAYERS

The Federal-Aid Highway Act-the mea-
sure authorizing a multi-billion dollar inter-
continental highway systen-contains sec
ton which may prove of the highest impor
tance to all highway users and to the taxpay
ers as a whole. This section orders the Bu
reau of Public Roads, in cooperation with
other agencies, to make certain studies con-
nected with highway-user charges. The pur
pose, in the Acts words, g. =. is to make
available to Congress information on the
basis of which it may determine what taxes
should be imposed by the United States, end
in what amounts in order to assure, insofar
as practicable an equitable distribution of
the tax burden among various classes of per-
sons using federal-aid highways or otherwise
deriving benefits from such highways"
The Bureau has issued preliminary re-
port in which its study plans are disclosed.
Among other things, it will look into the eff
feet vehicles of different weights have on
highway design requirements, taking into
account the element of road use. And the
Bureau noted thai heavy trucks are the sole
reason for building costly second and third
layers of pavement, in that the single top
layeris IS ADEQUATE for passenger cars and light
trucks Therefore, all vehicles will be con-
sidered responsible for the top layer in pro-
portion 10 usage-while the other layers will
be alOeated to the heavier vehicles.
Such studies are certainly needed The
vehicles, which make extremely costly stand
ards on highway construction necessary,
