Letters To Editor
Additional Income
No Sales Tax

As most of us well know. during
recent years the purchasing power
Of our dollars has steadily declined
until now a dollar is only worth
about forty, seven cents In purchas-
ing power compared to the one hun
dred cents it was worth q few years
ago. The government is trying TO
combat initiation that now prevails
so that our dollars will not con-
tinue to decline In purchasing
power. Yet our great honorable
governor Almond is recommending
that sales tax law be put into eff
feet to take another three or four
cents from the purchasing power Of
our present sadly debated dollars.
If he has his way, our dollars in
purchasing power. will only be
worth about forty-four cents. How
any level minded intelligent citizen
can be in favor of doing this. is be-
yond me to understand.
Almond claims that our state
needs additional revenue but be-
cause he makes this assertion. it
does not necessarily have to be
true. He has shown us in the past
that we cannot always rely or what
he tells u.s.
Just for the sake of argument,
let's suppose that our state will
/ need twenty to twenty-five more
million dollars to do some of the
| things Almond has in mind. is that
valid reason for having state
sales taxes that will take about a
hundred million dollars from the
people of Virginia?
If our state must have some adj
ditional revenue, there are ways to
raise 1t other than by an iniq,itous
sales tax law saddled On our backs
The state is in the liquor business
selling a poison to our citizens who
are foolish enough to buy 1t and
drink it and I have been told that
Virginia sells whiskey at a lower
price than prices charged for it in
other states. If the state must have
more revenue why doesn't it In.
crease the prices that are now
charging for alcohol beverages be
ing sold to the public? If they
would do this. many fools would
still continue to buy the stuff even
though they would be far better off
without it. Raising additional reve-
nue. through increasing the price Of
intoxicating beverages would moi
entail the expenditure of several
million dollars as would enforce
ment of sales tax law.
Then too. the state might sanction
Pari Mutuel betting and from this
source obtain much additional reve.

SO low as to engage in the liquor
business, we shouldn't mind obtain.
ing revenue from legalized bets
placed on race horses. It is my
opinion that the liquor sold to our
citizens by our state does far more
harm than would a law permitting
Pari Mutuel betting.
! am not convinced that our state
must have additional revenue il
they will wisely use that which
they now get from us, but if they
really do need more, for the sake Of

state who are struggling to exist

National Cooperation Possible
The companies making these mo-
bile factories might agree to sell
only one of a kind to each CITY
depending upon the size of the
city,. Then all the mobile bakeries
could form an association to buy
their supplies cheaper than it
would cost the Independent units.
A similar plan could be followed by
the mobile candy factories. etc.
Not only could such a plan be
set up to give qualified young
people a chance to 60 into business
profitably for themselves: but any
mobile factory could easily be NOV
ed to another city. or sold. This
would be an especially valuable
feature not enjoyed by fixed fac
tories. In fact, l forecast that these
mobile factories will have a great
growth during the Wonderful Six

Seeking 4 Solution

IN the face of momentous decisions all
shades of opinions must be expressed
in order that conclusions can be reached.
Certainly the people of Prince Edward
have had their share of such decisions to
make within the past six or more years
In the main these decisions have been made
after thorough discussion of the facts
privately and in public. The decisions have
been clearcut. and once made have been
executed freely, openly and successfully.
Relationships between the races have
been maintained in a friendly and under
standing atmosphere, relationships between
people of differing opinions have been
maintained to an amazing extent. This is
as it should be- Problems can not be settled
successfully unless there is every right
for free discussion granted in the true
spirit guaranteed to us by our Constitution.
AS we are forced to meet other problems
which are certain to come, may we protect
with tolerance our right Of free speech
which right more than half the people OF
the world have lost. or never have enjoyed.
Free speech can be maintained only for
people who are intelligent enough, who
are tolerant enough. and. who are careful
enough in its use. Free assembly. free
speech. free press and right Of petition are
guaranteed in the First Amendment to the
Constitution. To abuse these rights. is to
threaten their very existence. The right Of
freedom carries with it attendent RESPONSE
bilities. Those who embrace it must remem-
Der not to abuse it; be able to take opinions
as we'll as give them and in all be tolerant
Some minority opinion was expressed
in the open meeting last Monday, when the
school board was considering the sale of
the Farmvile High School building, mostly
by individual members Of the Longwood
College faculty. That is as it should be If
there is basis for minority opinion it should
be expressed. 1t should be received by those
of contrary opinion with tolerance These
citizens were speaking their individual
opinions, not that of the college per Sc
While a vocal minority Of contrary opinion
was expressed at the meeting by individuals
who were Longwood College professors, it
does not follow that these individuals speak
for the institution
Long historic relations between the
people of this area and the colleges have
existed to the mutual benefit of each, and
OF the community as whole. We need not
review them for they are we'll known. No
other college community can boast Of finer
cooperation and relationships than have
existed here. The interest in education by
the pioneer citizens Of the community led
to the establishment of both colleges, and
many local citizens have dedicated their
lives to the furtherance Of the institutions.
Let us not now fail to maintain these long
civic, religious and social associations so

BY ROBERT E. CLARK
Star stan Writer

The Federal Trade CommlS-
sion is investigating about 100
'payola" cases and will file
charges against more record
manufacturers and distributors
shortly, its chairman revealed
today.
Earl w. Kintner, head of the
FTC, also disclosed that the
agency will ask Congress for
a 10 per cent increase in its 81
million annual budget to help
finance a stepped-up campaign
against both payola and false
advertising.
The agency already has
charged % manufacturers ID
distributors with giving il
Ipayola to radio and television
disc jockeys. The 100 additional
cases under investigation in

Industry.
Hearings February 8
Hearings on payola in radio
TV will begin February 8 by
the House Legislative Oversight
Committee. Chairman Harris,
Democrat of Arkansas, an
nounced yesterday. Witnesses
will include some disc Jockeys
and perhaps officials of record
manufacturing and distributing
companies.
The hearings also will probe
into complaints Of misleading
advertising in radio and TV
commercials, Mr.. Harris in
dicated.
The FTC now spends about
$2.5 million a year policing
false and deceptive advertising
in all media. Complaints from
the public have stepped up
sharply in recent months, Mr..
Kintner said in an interview.
Urges Self-POIicinE
The FTC chairman has been
pressing a campaign for self
policing against deceptive
practices by the radio-Tv net
works and other segments Of
the advertising industry.
In a speech prepared for
delivery before the annual
meeting of the Institute of
Distribution in New York
today, Mr.. Kintner called for
cooperation from business and
industry against practices that
deceive and defraud the pub
| lie.
Referring to FTC efforts to
educate and encourage busi-
ness TO comply with laws
against deceptive practices, he
said:
1T must deserve and receive
the active cooperation OF
business in prosecuting the
slick operator who has only
contempt for the law and by
means of chicanery does not
hesitate to exploit those with
whom he deals, including the
public"
