| Your
Election
Laws . :
BY Ted w. Brown

Secretary of S'ots OF Ohio

One Of the great concerns of
Boards of Elections, especially in
the more populous counties or
those counties experiencing
great expension (and most Ohio
counties are having population
increases), is ways and means
of coping with the situation.
Boards of Elections in many
counties are not only having to
readjust their sites because of
population increases but also be-
cause of population fluctuations
some caused by location of new
industries in areas adjacent to
cities and some brought ABOUT by
efforts of city residents to move
20 the suburbs.
AT a recent meeting of Ohio
election officials, the matter of
increased demands upon Boards
for election service was discuss
ed. We pointed out that some
how the county election systems
would have to find an answer of
maintaining efficient, adequate
and honest elections without
overbalancing the cost. And, we
added, that this is difficult to
do, too.
Ohio now has more than $4,000
polling places and ranks second
only to California in the num-
Der. Past elections, especially
those in the Presidential year,
have pointed up the need for
revision of boundary lines of
precincts, resulting in more poll
ing places in one precinct or ad-
ditional precincts. This all adds
to the budgetary problem-cost
of places to hold elections, where
rental must be paid; extra equip
ment and supplies and additional
personnel.
1t is good to know that Ohio's
Boards of Elections are taking a
long-range look at these matters.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1957-01-31

One by one labor unions whose
members are made up of work
ers engaged in the production
and distribution of electric pow
er, are declaring their preference
for private over public produc-
ton. Read what J. c. Epperson,
Business Manager, Local 66,
IBEW, Houston, Texas, has to
say:
LAS American citizens, we be-
lieve that the facilities of private
enterprise should be utilized
wherever available because 0)
to do so will avoid an increase
in the public debt and the pre-
sent staggering burden of taxa
ton, and (2) the Government
should not invade the field of
private enterprise where citizens
and companies can and are will
ing to do the job. :.
Twenty years ago the IBEW
was a strong supporter of public
power as a check and a yard
stick on the private power COM
panies. We stood on that position
because we believed it was in
our own interest and in the in
terest of the public. Our expert
ence in recent years has con-
vinced us that it is now neces-
sary to have check and a
'yardstick' on public power"
An Eggleston accolade goes to
Mr.. Epperson for SO forthrightly
admitting his change of mind
and a hearty welcome to the
growing ranks Of those who
know that the electric power
needs of Americans can best be
served by privately-owned, pri-
vately-operated electric utility
companies.

STOP FOREIGN AID

1t has been reported to this
viewer of THE American Way"
that President Eisenhower Is
going to ask the Congress for
the staggering sum of S4 billion
additional foreign aid funds for
the next fiscal year. And that
further he will request Congress
to give him still more discretion
airy power as to when, how and
to whom foreign aid" is to be
dished out.
It's high time we begin to
wake up on this foreign aid''
foolishness. Since World War II
we have squandered over $50
billion in futile attempt to buy
friends around the world. Oh,
yes, the avowed purpose has
been announced as help for the
less fortunate peoples of the
world, but the basic reason has
been to strengthen these peoples
as potential allies against Red
Russia.
A calm appraisal reveals that
we not only have failed to help
these people with our misguided
philanthropy, but we've bought
no friends. Senator Byrd is on
record as opposing any further
continuation of foreign econ
omic aid. The good Senator from
Virginia is generally right on
economic affairs and never has
he been more right than in de-
manding a halt to this give
away" nonsense.
And what is more, Congress
must not grant the President
further discretionary powers. 1t
must stop dodging its constitu-
tional responsibilities-it has al
ready relinquished too much of
its control over the nations
purse.
| suggest that you write your
Congressman and two u. S.
Senators to stop this willy-nilly
scattering of American tax dol
lars around the world. They'll
do it, if they hear from enough
of US.

The average young man or
woman today is an idealist. They
want to work for a company that
stands for something besides pro-
fit making" says w. Rowland
Allen, personnel director Of l.. S.
Ayres & Co. of Indianapolis.
And a recent survey of the
nations teen~age girls, made for
the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.
by the University of Michigan's
Institute for Social Research, re-
portedly found today's girls
"idealistic," ambitious" and
consistently conservative"
Considering the appallingly
low standard the majority of us
adults set for them, l consider it
amazing that our young people
are, on the average, so fine and
wholesome.
Children are the most "ideal-
istic" and conservative people
there are. They want everything
done right; and any variation
from the norm brings from them
exclamations of protest. If we
could have one generation of
parents as determined to main
tain a norm of living worthy OF
being followed as their children
| are determined to follow it, we
could transform this anything
but-perfect world into veritable
| heaven upon earth.

UNIFORM EXCISE TAXES

1t is generally conceded that
our excise taxes are a ''mess,"
and that they must be made
uniform to establish a better bal
ance in the federal tax system
between income and excise taxes
and to provide the maximum
opportunity for income tax re-
duction. The National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers proposes
what makes sense to this colum-
mist. 1t is that:
Except for the alcoholic bev-
erage, tobacco, communication
and transportation taxes, and
except as provided below, the
present system of federal excises
should be replaced by a uniform
excise tax on all end products
Of manufacturer except food for
human and animal consumption;
drugs, seeds, fertilizers and
associated agricultural items;
raised print material for the
blind; and religious articles.
''The tax should not apply to
any manufactured article solo
for use as a component in fur
ther manufacture of another
article whether taxable or not.
"A uniform excise offers op.
portunity, not available under
profits taxes, to establish ta>
equality between private enter.
prise organized for profit anc
| competing agencies organized as
co-operatives or as subdivisions
| of federal, state, or local gov,
ernment. An indispensable con,
dition of this proposal, therefore
is that the uniform excise mus
apply to all products within the
scope of the tax, whether manu-
factured by private, government
| cOOperatiVe, or other agencies.

Quaker City - A system for
dialing fire alarms, replacing a
makeshift set-up put in opera
ton this summer when dial
phones went into operation in
the Quaker City exchange, has
been installed and tested. A
number of phones used only for
receiving fire calls have been

phones ringing when the fire
number is dialed, it is considered
as near certain as possible that
the call will be answered i'm.
