Termination. Connecticut. On
February "a, 1859, the AS
sociated Press sent out a story
regarding the Pennington High
School reTusing to accept a
National Freedoms Foundation
Award for an editorial carried
in that school paper's annual
brotherhood Week Issue
The award. which carries a
GEORGE Washington honor
medal and 500, was rejected
because it was based on an
article contr buted bv an adult,
and not by a student, as re-
CURED by the rules of the
Foundation.
Superintendent of Schools
Robert E. Saunders, in declin-
ing the award had this to say:
II assume that the judges in
making the selection figured
that it was written by a stu
dent, overlooking the credit
line. To accept the award
would be unethical, and | mott

cause of this, we cannot accept

drawing the award, expressed
appreciation for the fortnight
honesty of the school and its
officials. and said he hoped
the Foundation would get
another nomination from the
Pennington High School this
year.
The editorial was written by
Louis E. Ball. Jr., editor Of the
weekly Pennington Valley
Herald. We can think of
nothing better to pass on to
the readers of this column,
than his editorial. which was
carried in the Feb 81, 1858
issue of the FATRVTEW BFA-
CON. Farminoton hioh schoo's
paper, and which inspired this
praiseworthv display of hon
esty. 1t follows:
BROTHERHOOD - 1853
Not long ago, a sociologist
made the statement that the
major social problem of the
Nineteenth Century was the
achievement of equality, while
the major social problem of the
twentieth Century is the reten-
ton of individuality. Historic
ally, there can be little argu-
ment with the first premise.
The second premise contains
perhaps the greatest challenge
that any of us will live to see.
You have but to stop a
moment and consider life in

the year 1858. Mass COM
munications. limitless travel,
and a universalitv of teaching
have combined 10 give us what
we like to call "the HIGHEST
standard of living ever known
in the history of the world"
Concurrently, it appears that
each of us is caught in the
cruchine mesh of conforInitv.
We must all look alike. talk
alike yes, even think alike
Those who do not conform to
the mode become outcasts, or
worse. Yet. few of us are aware
that the ultimate in conformity
is Communism. Sold under the
falee label of "peace. equality
and brotherhood" it poses
grave threat to freedom and
libertv, not onlv in Europe and
Asia, but In our own America
as we'll.
Experience has shown us the
only effective means to halt
its insidious growth is throuph
brotherhood Therein lies the
greatest challenge that any of
us will live to see, for true
brotherhood iS the RECOGNITION
Of individuality. Individual

x,,J ,o.,D~.,I ;1,<,, n,n A. ro,.x,
corneretones of true brother
hood. Further all freedom and
liberty hang from these tenets.
Every totalitarian form.
every instance of tyranny, and
every mass Injustice has re-
uuired denial or deprivatinn of
the traditional home of free
true brotherhood. Conversely,
dom was born with the de-
mand for Individuality in its
manifold forms. and will con-
tinue to exist only through
preservation of brotherhood,
according to its true definition.
Manv wears ago, when Amer
ira was founded, it was rela-
tivelv easier TO practice broth
erhood, and manifeStlv easier
TO preach that doctrine than TO
exemplifv its prinrirles. Today
in 1853. the very future of the
United States yes, even
that of the world itself - lies
in your very hands. The future
will be decided on the degree
of understanding, of individual
freedom. dignity, ability and
responsibility. and on the ex-
tent Of orr adherence to them
in our dailv lives.
The Fairview Beacon can re-
view the past with pride. 1t
can look about itself in the
present with confidence. It
must look into the future with
resolve, as all Of us must.

Three important bills designed to help
financially hardpressed municipalities have
been introduced in the House of Representa-
tives by Rep. Edmund G. James of Noble
county
Two of the bills would give municipal-
ties authority to levy local taxes which are
now barred to them because the state has
preempted these tax fields.
The third would increase by year the
amount now allocated to local governments
from the state-collected sales tax revenues
and would increase the amount allotted to
Noble county by $4,000.
The two tax measures are "permissive
only, Rep. James pointed out.
"There is nothing compulsory about
either, he said. "a municipality could levy
one or both, if it needed the revenue for gov
ernmental purposes, since they are merely
tools or implements.
One of these bills would permit a munich
pality to levy consumers utility tax. Tax
rate could not exceed three percent on the
ret rate charged by electric, gas, water and
telephone companies, whether private, CO.
operative or public-oWned.
The other would permit levying local
automobile license tax( not to exceed SIS a
year, on the operation of motor vehicles by
resident owners.
All money collected under the authority
of these municipality initiated measures
would remain in the municipality, where
they are collected for the exclusive benefit
of the citizens of that village or city.
These measures would tend to alleviate
the present ever pressing burden of taxation
now on the general PROPERTY owners
Briefly these bills introduced by Rep.
James are not new taxes that can be enacted
bv legislative procedure from a state level
but they are directed and soley intended to

Self-cmployed people in Noble county
shop-keepers, farmers, professional workers
and others-are about to get some Federal
tax relief, it appears.
They are to be allowed to make deduc-
tions, up to specified limits for money they
put away each year into their retirement or
pension funds.
The relief measure, which has cleared
the House Ways and Means Committee, is
expected to be passed by big margin when
it reaches the floor of the House shortly 1t
is conceded a good chance of getting Senate
approval as we'll
The bill seeks to place self-employed
workers on a par with the millions of other
workers, who pay no taxes on funds placed
in pension pools for them.
The number of self-employed in Noble
county, who stand to benefit from the tax
break, was set at 1866 in the latest Census
Bureau survey.
They amounted to 423 percent of the
total number Of people with jobs, high pro-
portion compared with the III percent in
other United States areas and the 14.6 per-
cent in the East North Central States.

Private Rights and F.E.P.C.

The right of an employer to
hire for a lawful occupation is
very simply the right of any
man to dispose of what he has,
to spend his money for that
which he desires. The right of a
worker to organize voluntarily
with other workers in free
union is nothing more nor less
than the basic freedom to as
sociate. Short of war or the most
terrible disaster, it is difficult
to imagine justifiabla interfer-
ence with either.
Under F. E. P. c. legislation,
however, such rights are to be
taken away because certain self
seeking persons feel that en-
ployers and unions should not
be free to dislike their group.
What has never before been
even wrong, to help and as
sociate with people like oneself
before people somewhat differ
ent is to be made crime, the
basis for a denial of free choice
and free association. BY force of
statute, charity and friendship,
no longer, may begin at home.
But in this "idealistic" situa-
ton, one may consider, at least,
little pity for those among us
unemployed, soon to find fewer
jobs with more applicants, and
one may sigh, perhaps, and
shudder for the soon to be over
worked police, trying to keep
law and order in this great State,
as the droves of privilege seek
ing migrants arrive by bus and
rail, muttering in endless mono
tone. discrimination, discrimina-
tion," even as they leave the
station.

Locally, therefore, more of the working
population is affected than is the case in
other sections.
The bill provides that any self-employed
person may deduct from his taxable income
as much as 10 percent of his self-employment
earnings, up to ceiling of $780, provided
that the money is put into specified types of
retirement plans.
This deduction could be taken for as
many as 20 years, making possible a lifetime
total of $4,000.
A special provision of the bill would en-
able those over age so to defer taxes on even
more than $1,000 year.
No tax would be paid on this income un-
til the individual retires and starts drawing
his money back. At that time, presumably,
he would be in tax-free position or, at least,
in low tax bracket.
According to figures released by the
Treasury Department, the measure would
give the self-employed a cut of 1866 million
year, averaging $32 per person.
This average, if applied to Noble county,
would yield a tax saving, locally, of $4,000
year.
