To The Voters Of Holt County We are faced with a problem that is becoming far too preve lent for the good of our form of government. Why don't we have more qualified candidates for our county offices? Correction of this siluation would be beneficial to all of us who value our treasured right of choice. It is distinctly to the credit of the voter to have the opportunity to choose be tween two qualified candidates. Let’s encourage qualified candi dates to pursue public office against the incumbents by lend ing a hand to Kieth Abart’s sup port. The record indicates such action would stimulate interest and give us reason to go to the polls liecause a choice is offered. The right stroke of the pencil on election day for Kieth Abart i will serve as an inducement for other qualified men to pursue public office thereby giving us reason to go to the polls and make a choice. This right we should cherish dearly in our country. Your support in behalf of Kieth A. Abart will he appreci ated by the family.

Report from Washington By Congressman Dave Martin Fourth District, Nebraska On Aprill 11th, in a speech on the Floor of the House, I asked: “How far has our country gone down the road toward Socialism? We are supposed to be living un der a free economy in this coun try, but the President has chal lenged this concept with threats of reprisals against the steel com panies because they raised their prices. The main question involv ed here is more basic and funda mental than the $6 a ton steel increase. The fundamental question involved is — can the Federal Government completely dictate to our economy; and if they do not accede to demands, then threaten them with repri sals? This is exactly what hap pended in the recent steel dispute, j This is what has happened in his- j tory to countries that went down the road to Socialism. Do we j want complete control by the state | over all forms of our economy? ! Let’s take a look at some of the : President’s proposals now beforej our Congress: 1. The Freeman farm program — Complete regimentation of ag riculture. 2. A request from the White House to give the President the power (through legislation) to raise and lower taxes as HE SEES FIT. This is an abrogation of the powers of the Legislative Branch of our Government. 3. A request that the Congress give the President sole authority to regulate tariffs on goods im ported into this country. 4. A request for a five-year foreign economic aid program, with the President as the arbiter on where and when the money is to be spent. (This proposal was killed last year). 5. A request for a $2 billion P.W.A. program on a standby ba sis to be used at the sole dis creation of the President, when and where he feels it is needed. The Majority Leader of the House, in remarks on the Floor, called for immediate investiga tion of the steel companies to see if a violation of the Sherman An titrust law was involved. In view of the fact that the courts have only applied these laws to indus try and business, it seems to me that this is a one way street. I FRITZS Body Shop 24 Hr.

R. 92711 some time ago which would amend the Sherman Antitrust Act and related statutes to make them applicable to labor unions, as well as to business. We have complete monopolies in the large labor unions which control entire industries, but these anti-monopo ly laws do not apply to them It is time to treat all segments of our economy equally. The President recommended re cently, and the House passed, a postal increase which will result in postage increases from 2i‘» to almost MW*, How does the Pres ident justify an increase of this magnitude when compared with a proposed 3‘• steel price increase? Quote of the week: iThoniss Jefferson) "I place economy among the first and most impor tant virtues, and indilic debt as the greatest of dangers to be fac ed. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with |>erpetual debt.
