To every­ body, except possibly a thinking few, it is merely a holiday—a Ted figure on the almanac, and a long weekend. Independence Day is lhe right name for it. “ Our fore­ fathers, who brought forth on this continent a new nation, first took a forthright step .by declar­ ing their independence from any other nation. It was a dangerous thing to do, and brought on a costly struggle in lives and for­ tunes. But it paid off. From that Declaration o f Independence came the United States o f America,. With liberty and freedom its. cor­ ner stones. But freedom is an elusive possession. Having it and; keeping it are two different grati­ tude but a deeper sense of ob­ ligation to preserve the freedom that we inherited by the foresight, plus the blood and sweat and tears, o f our ancestors. EFFICIENCY It is easy to see that the dif­ ference between business success and failure is the ability to make a little more than is spent. It takes good management and a lot of hard work to accomplish that in any enterprise. Efficiency in government is not different from efficiency in any business. Government is the biggest busi­ ness o f them all. No more com­ prehensive study was ever given an enterprise than the Hoover commission gave to xeorganiza- ... tion o f the executive department o f the government. White some o f the remedies suggested have been put into effect, many o f the others are being adopted with difficulty. Efficiency means elim­ inating ineffectual methods and dropping many unnecessary em­ ployes. And that means, always, stirring up trouble. But nobody can present any argument why government should not be oper­ ated economically like any other business. BUYING POWER Down in Washington where most o f the talk goes on, they are talking now about doubling the buying power o f the average American in 30 years. They think it can be done, despite the shor- ter-honrs system. But that is not surprising to any o f us. We’ve 3een it happen. Buying powers has doubled during the pa3t 20 years. The farmer here in our section o f Greene county buys an automobile and pays twice what he paid fo r it 15 years ago, and does it with the same number o f bushels o f corn. Wages are double ' what they were—but so are prices o f commodities. What is not being explained—as usual what we really want to know is never explained at Washington—• is what doth it profit a man to make twice as much money if it takes it all to live as it did be­ fo re ? f OUR SERVANTS > Factually and gratefully—and * a bit proudly—-we speak of our servants—our Greene county rep- | resentative—at Washington, D. C. i Our neighbor, Clarence J. Brown, by long experience and native ability fo r such work, has become a. leader in legislation and thought, both nationally and in­ ternationally. While Senator Rob­ ert A . Taft gets more publicity than does Senator John W. Bric- ker, he is very influential in the Upper House. Sincerely we be­ lieve that no section o f the coun­ try is better represented than We Greene countians are by honest, honorable, wise, experienced and capable servants in both houses. LAYING IT BY It’s a farmer’s expression— “ laying the corn by.” It’s a shor­ ter process now than it used to he in the days o f the double-shov­ el, one-horse plow, when the com rows were long and had to be plowed a row at a round. Now plows, tractor-drawn, move faster than a horse used to be able to tret, and a round means four rows plowed with mechanical per­ fection. Cultivation o f com is ranch easier, much faster and much more efficiently done than i t used to be. “ Laying the torn by” is: reached as in stage and accom­ plished. in a few hours, compared teethe tedious days o f a few years *IP> f I e s h f f f f t t !

ROBERT H. HARPER Jacob , a xms o f striking contrasts. Lesson for July 2 : Genesis 35: 1-7# 9-12. Memory Selection: Genesis 28:15 H a v in g f o r s t u d y the third quarter groat men and women, of the Bible, we begin today with Jacob. His early career was marked by craft and deceit which led him. into great difficulties but fortunately turned him. from depen­ dence upon his own scheming into an enduring reliance upon God. The reader is asked to review the life of Jacob, as found in Genesis, to the point where our lesson be­ gins. After his conversion at Peniel, where he received the blessing of God. and was given the new name of Israel, which means Prince, and had settled near Shechera, where tragedy befell his daughter, Dinah, he removed, at God's command, to Bethel, Preparatory to this, he required the members of his house­ hold to put away the foreign gods they had brought from Padan- aram, and, reaching Bethel, he builded there an altar unto God. Thus did Jacob, the supplanter. come the second time to Bethel as Israel, the Prince, Bethel was the place where the fugitive Jacob had the vision of the ladder of blessing. There is significance in his return to that place of Ms earliest experience cf God. He returned to the simple faith that had,been his in the days of his youth, and he held it from then on, dying at last in Egypt, after he had called all his sons about him and told them what should befall them in the latter days.

BROWN Writes The house will have before it this week the administration b ill. to reduce excise taxes by approx-1 imately $1,010,000,060 per year, plug tax loopholes so as to in­ crease other revenues by approx­ imately $560 million a year, and increase taxes on corporations n the higher earning -brackets by 0433 million per year. The mea­ sure will probably he considerd under a closed or “ gag” rule, pro­ hibiting the offering or consid­ eration o f any amendments, and requiring members to vote for or against the measure in its entirety. Under the measure the new, corporation tax rate will >e 21 preent on annual earings un­ der $25,000 and 41 percent on all earnings above that amount. The net result would be a slight re­ duction in taxes for corporations with earnings o f less than $167,- 000, and an increase for earnings above that amount, with 330.000 small corporations ob t a i n i n g slight benefits and 30,000 compan­ ies with larger earnings paying more taxes.

R. 8000, o amend the social security act, a hill originally ap­ proved in the house last Octo­ ber. Senate amendments make the first $3600 of annual arnings sub­ ject to social security taxes, in­ stead of the $3,000 as at present. Minimum benefits of $10.00 a month under the present law will he increased to $25.00. Maximum monthly benefits to an individual will go to $80.00, and to a mar­ ried couple or family, $150.00. Average benefits will be about double those paid under the pres­ ent law. The payroll tax rate will remain at 1% percent each on both the worker and his em- use of certain commercial ferti­ lizers and insecticides may have on food stuffs. A conference committee has settled the differences between the house and senate bills on rent control, and the measure has gone m to the president. Under it federal rent contfol will end Dec. 31, 1950, in areas which do’ not vote to continue'controls until June 30, 1951, when the federal stat­ ute will finally expire. If you have had a $10.00 bill REPORT BY SENATOR ROBERT A. TAFT SOMETIMES resent ee that their children are so time-consuming. If they would only'look ahead to the day when their family is grown, and realize how short the years will be until then it would be easier to accept the lack of leisure now. If you w e r e studying painting you .wouldn’t resent the hours spent at your easel, oblivious of everything but the canvas in front of you. Children are rarely that engross­ ing—if you plan you can squeeze in a lot of personal interests in the course of a day’ s child tending. You might even get in a few strokes j with a brush if painting is your hobby. Most couples resent their children at times because children interfere with some ] accustomed recreation, some j cherished pleasure. There : seems to be. two courses here.' ‘ ,^ One is to leave the children in 'j» competent hands and plan for i ]i a free day or evening now and . | then. Many husbands and i if wives find this concentration ’ if on having a good time together • i| a tonic they need regularly. ^ f The other solution is to examine your favorite recreations careful­ ly, sorting out and concentrating on those which your children can sometimes enjoy with you. If you think you have no such interests perhaps you should develop some. Whole-family camping trips have :tbeen managed with wonderful suc­ cess—provided a bit of planning is hidden away since 1939, it will today buy only $5.49 worth •>£ food and other normal necessi­ ties, as compared with the full $10.00 worth of 11 short years ago. The answer can he found m the fact the American dollar is no longer exchangeable fo r gold, and in the deficit financing and the growing inflation o f the past decade.

The president of, the company is 76 years old; the chairman o f the board o f directors is tw o years past the century mark; the man who serves as both vice-president and treasurer also has passed his allotted three-score years and ten.

As a result, a storm o f protest has arisen from a doz­ en or so Central and South Amer­ ican nations, and-the state de partment has publicly “ chastized” the senate committee. Howeve» the facts seem to back up the charges made by the senate group. Coffee prices had been dropping as a result o f the senate inves­ tigation, but after the state de­ partment announced its position prices jumped rapidly last week and the housewives 0f the natios will pay the bill. The house last week almost un- ammously approved a resolution establishing a speeial committee to study and investigate the use o f chemicals, compounds, an(j synthetics in the preparation and packaging o f food products, ail(i also to. look into the effect the dom consulted regarding Latin America until he went to Rio. T h » Republican party, o f course, was never consulted with regard to the secret agree­ ments at Teheran and Yalta, subsequently confirmed at Pots­ dam, which have created new injustices and new dangers throughout the world. Many of., us have differed fundamentally with the policy in China and with some o f the foreign eco­ nomic proposals since the war. Only recently, the Secretary of State sent to Congress the charter o f tjie International Trade Organi­ zation (ITO) without any prior consultation o f any kind with the Republican senators who had. given long study to the subject. Republican senators were not con­ sulted about the Point Four proj­ ect or the further reduction in tariffs proposed in September. . * * • rjPQ THE Administration and its partisans in the press, bi-parti­ san foreign policy seems to mean any Administration foreign policy to which the adherence of some individual Republican is obtained. Any _Republican who differs with that policy is-at once accused of isolationism and sabotage of this imaginary bi-partisan policy . Whether the President chooses to consult Republicans or not, I am sure that the Republican party w ill co-operate with the State De­ partment in the support o f those policies directed toward the at­ tainment o f peace, subject always to the overriding necessity of maintaining the freedom and se­ curity o f the people of the United States; I have avoided and as, far as possible will continue to avoid carping criticism o f current for­ eign policy. •> . ' I cannot, however, carry this .so far as to acquiesce even in current, policies which violate fundamental principles I con­ sider necessary for the peace and security o f our people. Nor do I see why any bi-partisan foreign policy should interfere with proper and legitimate criti­ cism o f paist foreign policy, the dangerous results o f which have now been made apparent. m 1.
