water, increasingly important
to industry, is major resource
of the Middle South-Arkansas,
Louisiana and Mississippi.
He said a second reason for
the regions growth is its low
cost, reliable electric energy.
Concerning transportation, he
said the region is well served
with inland waterways, high
ways and railways. He said he

Pocketbook Issues Dominate Politics
DY SYLVIA PORTER

The pocketbook issues-the
cost Of living. unemployment
and the recession--will DOM
mate and decide November's
political elections.
This is the view of editors
and Republican and Democrat
ic members of Congress polled
by Congressional Quarterly.
The research organization
received replies from 1926 edi-
tors. In first place on their
list of the 10 top political
issues was the cost Of living;
in second place, the editors
placed the recession and UNI
employment. 1t received an
swers from SO Democratic
members Of Congress. On the
Democrats list. the recession
was first. the cost of living was
second. The agency heard
from 70 Republicans. The top
issue on the @. o. P. list was
Federal spending and taxing
but the cost of living and the
recession were in third and
fourth place.
Every day front-page head
lines are about school integra-
ton. But this issue made only
the editors list and it was in
ninth place.
Far down on the lists of
Democrats and Republicans
were ethics in government (the
Adams Goldfine CASE and for
eign policy.
Paradox Pointed Up
To me, this is not a bit sur

a family's living costs, a bust

What strikes me as of pos
sibly profound significance
though, is the fundamental
paradox pointed up in the top
two choices. Think about them
for an instant and you'll grasp
what I mean.
Concern about the cost of liv-
ing means concern about infla-
ton.
Concern about unemployment
means concern about deflation.

National Association of Ac-

He declared: 1.-THE destabi-

thing - for the economy, for
the unemployed man who needs
to get job to support his
family, and for the municipali-
ties and States, as well as for
the Federal Government, which
have only one means Of bor-
rowing money - the sale of
bonds-to raise funds needed
for construction of schools,
hospitals and like community
improvements. The hardest,
most tragic way to prove the
folly of the notion that there
can be any such thing as per-
manent imitation is to let a
little imitation SNOWFALL into a
big one that must in time col
lapse with consequences heavy
in human hardship"

A Virginian is urging tighter

Mr.. Poff has offered q bill to

held otherwise" he added.

InlllIOu ana recommended
capital outlay of 100000.
Based on present taxable
property values, the spending
proposals would require about
a Ascent increase in the prop
erty tax rate. The present rate
is 1925 per 500 property valu-
alton. Budget proposals for
other county departments have
not yet been released.
Effect May Be Smaller
However. Robert Walker, as
sistant superintendent, who ex-
planned the school budget to
the board. said the effect on the
tax rate cannot be determined
accurately at present. He said
the amount of taxable property
in the county is not known def
nitely yet and that the amount
Of tax increase necessary to
carry the budget may prove to
be considerably lower than it
now appears.
The budget proposal is 26
per cent higher than the cur
rent school budget of STAT
million.
The biggest increase is in
Institutional costs, which will
go up SIT million, according
to the proposed budget. In
structional cost is estimated at
$11.3 million, compared to $9.6
million in the current year.
More Teachers, Pupils
The budget calls for a per-
sonnet increase of 298, which
includes 204 teachers.
The number of pupils is ex-
pected to be 1880. an increase
of $500. A total of 1877 new
claSSroomS are expected to be
opened during the 1889
school year.
Another big increase is in
debt service, the fund for pay
ing back construction money
borrowed through bond issues.
Interest and repayment costs
on bond issues will total $2.8
million. an increase of more
than 100000 over the current
budget item.

item would be for the purchase

items are included in a $3.50, 900
