She Craggy Sfribtme EDITORIAL PAGE Page 4 THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1962 It's Time We Mustered Intelligence To Solve The Reapportionment Problem AFTER ALL THE fuss and fury on inability of the legislature and the governor to come up with a solution to fair representation, it about time that we muster our intelligence and find a better way to handle this chore every IO years? The evidence is at hand in Wisconsin, and in the legislatures across the nation, that we seem incapable of rising above partisan allegiance to do the kind of fair and impartial administrative job the Constitution expects. The United States Supreme Court finally decided it -was time to step in, for lack of anyone else to do the job of protecting the rights of proper representation. Whatever the method, there should be some relatively simple, automatic process of apportioning legislative seats fairly and according to law, without suffering this bitterness and divisiveness each time the job is to be done. The politically charged atmosphere of state legislatures is hardly the place to expect calm and dispassionate consideration. The courts are farther removed, and they ought to have the responsibility permanently.

A matter so simple as proper representation is all that is at stake. Let the politicians be shed of a responsibility they have proved themselves incapable of shouldering fairer, and let it be assumed by impartial authority. That way we also will be shed of the motivation of partisan politics and futile debate, which in this session has proved how chaotic it can And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my 10:28. Controlled Access Makes For Safety INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS are safer, according to statistics presented in an article in Business Week. The number of traffic deaths on limited access highways (Interstate) stands at about 2.2 per IOO million vehicle miles.

The rate for all highways is about 5.3 per IOO million. It is the controlled access that makes the difference. There is no intersecting and crossing traffic from city streets, motels, hamburger stands and gas stations. This contributes to more safety for the motorist. Nationally, the massive, mile, $41 billion web of super-expressways also is taking shape.

One- High Hopes THE DISAPPEARANCE of green spaces around the cities is one of the well-known problems of our time. But most folks would be surprised to learn that there is a growing demand for real estate on mountain tops. The need is not for scenic views from living rooms, however, but for sites for microwave relay towers, used in telephone and radio communications. In 1955, according to Business Week, there were only 400 of these towers. Today, there are over 4,500.

Not all are on mountain peaks because easy access has been needed for maintenance. But the development of improved and miniaturized equipment promises a real boom in the mountaintop market in the future. third has been completed, another third is in the works, and the remainder still on the board. Business Week, in a review of highway development, says that busy as the roadbuilding industry has been to reach the present Interstate progress, it seen anything yet. For this promises to be a spectacular summer, in terms of employment, steel, concrete and well as irate motorists snaking through detours.

THE INTERSTATE system will bring a new way of life in that industries, service areas, entire communities will grow up along them, particularly where two such highways happen to cross. Many cities are in that very fortunate position and can expect to profit handsomely from it. It's Up To You EACH TIME THERE is a forest fire in this country, an average of 32 acres of timber are to build 75 homes. The loss cannot be measured in economics or board feet alone. Recreation, wildlife and watershed damage also enter the picture.

Tremendous as this wastage was, however, the 1961 figure was the lowest ever. There were nearly 5,000 fewer fires than in 1960, when 5.5 million acres burned. A responsible public contributed to last good record. Only a tinuingly responsible public can repeat it or better it this year.

Is it possible that modern science that can cure tuberculosis and other nothing to offer those of us who suffer from this embarrassing condition0 in the case of ringworm, trichomoniasis presents two problems. The fast is that of getting rid of the causative organism. Tile second, that of preventing reinfection since effective drugs do not have a lasting action. And an attack confers not the slightest immunity.

In consequence, both you and your husband must be treated simultaneously. Your doctor will prescribe mouth doses of one of several related trichomonicides, such as nitroimidazole or nidazole, marketed under various trade names. Unless there is some very' unusual circumstance, you should be within a matter of a few days to a few weeks according to reports just issued from the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Pa, and from British physicians. Recurrences then may be prevented by taking regular doses for a day or two every week or two. WHEN YOU VISIT your dentist, call-' to his attention any pressure areas in your mouth, such as those due to jagged teeth or ill-fitting dentures.

If you have a sore or a white spot (leukoplakia) where pressure has been exerted, ask whether referral to a specialist is advisable. If you are exposed on the job to a cancer producing chemical (carcinogen), follow instructions for prevention as detailed by your employer, your union agent or a government official. If you do not work in an organized industry and you think you may be exposed in your job to one of these dangerous chemicals, make inquiry of your local health officer or write the state or federal Department of Labor.

And conduction deafness can be improved by one of several delicate operations. If the conducting mechanism is normal and the hearing impairment is due to failure of the nerve endings to register sound, of nerve cables to transmit sound or of the hearing center to register messages carried by these cables, the hearing impairment is classified as nerve deafness. And nerve deafness is not helped by surgery.

Again and again, however, critics of current government policies are saying that governmental intervention is excessive, and that often the share of the earnings of a pri- LAWRENCE vate company amounts almost to confiscation. But more important than all this is the existing practices will or will not stimulate an expansion of the national economy. Inasmuch as Congress is considering various kinds of to increase governmental important point that emerges is whether is going to throttle or stimulate the American economic system. it it MOST PEOPLE WHO TALK glibly about or even as somehow greedy, selfish, and inconsiderate of their employes do not realize how much of a risk the creators of a business enterprise run, and how they are discouraged sometimes from even starting a business because the risk worth the small return that is likely to be obtained these days.

Perhaps the most striking example of what is meant by lack of given in an illustration recently developed by some economists to show how a businessman can build a successful enterprise only to find that the bulk of his earnings is going to the government. The basic assumptions are that a man starts a small company which develops annual sales of $2 million, and that the corporation pays him a salary of $25,000 a year and pays to IOO other employes a total of $500,000 a year in wages.

My husband is a traveling salesman and recently he bought a quantity of the drug for much less than I pay at our local pharmacy. But it seem to work as well. I have two questions.

I You and your husband can help in this campaign by notifying the Food and Drug Administration of the source of the that has failed to help you. And you can protect your- i self by buying from your local pharmacist, whom you know, and by purchase of an unopened package that has been sealed by a reputable manufacturer under government license. If your prescription calls for a quantity that is less than w'hat is contained in the sealed package, your local druggist will be pleased to show you the original container before he measures out the amount ordered for you.

Out of such visits would not only grow understanding and friendships, but probably an international gathering of like minds to thrash out the problems of peace and to contemplate its terrible alternatives. It would be so easy in the West for people to exchange ideas, visits and letters. But it had not occurred to the young matron, it developed, that a people-to-people campaign, such as she envisioned, would never be permitted behind the Iron it was rigidly supervised by the Communist hierarchy.

At precisely that point, of course, it would cease to be a people to people campaign on the other side of the wall and become an instrument of Communist power politics.

Pass 2 N.T. Pass 3 N.T. Pass Pass Pass Opening 6 Here is another situation where the play of second hand high is essential. South has reached game in no- trump after an opening heart bid by West and West has led I the six of hearts.

South sees that he must establish the club suit in order to bring home his contract and it is obvious to him that West will hold both the ace and king of hearts. If he plays the jack from dummy it will hold the trick and leave queen as a second stopper. That is exactly what does happen if Soqth plays the jack of hearts. He will wind up making four no-trump against any defense. If South plays second hand low things be so pleasant.

East will play the nine and South will have his choice of taking the trick or holding off. In the first case, when West gams the lead with the ace of clubs he will have four good heart tricks. In the second case, East will return suit and again the defense will set the hand. Funny how an old friend can slap you on the back and knock a five-dollar loan right out of your wallet. A cop can impress a traffic violator with a few words, or a judge with a long sentence.

There is one thing that is sure to make you out of money. Some political speakers are easily floored by questions from the floor. BUT WHAT DOES government take from this corporation? First of all, $30,000 in state and local levies, excises and other taxes have to be paid. Second, the government takes $15,000 in social security taxes, and this is assumed to leave the company with approximately $100,000 profit before federal income taxes. Third, the government takes $46,500 out of the profits for federal corporate income taxes.

This brings the net profit down to $53,500, and it is assumed that the sole owner of the corporation puts 20 per cent of this new equipment and takes the remaining 80 per dividends for himself. Fourth, the government then takes $28,500 from the owner in the form of personal taxes on his total income -of $67,800 in salary and dividends. Fifth, the government takes from the employes of the corporation $57,000 in personal taxes on their pay. When all this is added up, it is found that the corporation owner has realized $39,300 in net income, while government in all its forms has realized $177,000. To put it another way, for every dollar that this businessman gets in income, government-federal, state and more than $4.50, it it it NOW, IN THE ABOVE illustration, it happens that one man is the owner of the company, But it is unlikely that a single individual would always be able to supply the money to build a corporation that would have annual sales of $2 million.

The chances are that the promoter of the enterprise would have to get other people to share the financing with him, and they would naturally become part owners. In that case, of course, the entire $42,800 of dividends would not be paid to him, but perhaps only a small part of it. What it amounts to, in the end. is that the individual has to make up his mind whether he will take a job that pays him $25,000 or more in some other enterprise perhaps one of those whether he will go out on his own, invest personal funds and money borrowed from others willing to help him, and take the big risks that are involved in the actual operation of a business. In the final analysis, the risk is considerable.

There is competition to be met plus the danger of unlooked-for conditions which could wipe out the business or render it unable to make a substantial profit. HOW MANY PEOPLE IN the United Stales would be willing to take the risk of accepting a salary of perhaps $25 000 each year in a business that they have to own and operate themselves, as distinguished from being paid a salary of that amount in a business in which somebody else takes all the risk? The answer is that the larger businesses are today absorbing more and more of the men of talent, ingenuity and enterprise in America. Sooner or later the in the economy will have to be assisted by a governmental stimulus in the form of lower taxation. Copyright. 1962.
