WE HAVE HAD six years of
unprecedented prosperity. Amer
icans have more and better
goods than ever before. But the
economic measures which have
nurtured and pushed the econ
omy are not perfect and un-
I
fortunately, an «
inflationary ;
trend is taking 3
place.
This subject
is on every
one’s mind, .
and people in |
low-to-middle |
income brack- 8
ets are especially concerned.
Reactions range from anger to
bewilderment. Generally, over
the past 10 years real wages
have increased faster than the
cost of living so that people
have more money to spend than
ever before. However, at the
present time, prices are now
rising so rapidly that hardly
a day goes by without the price
of some food or commodity go
ing up, and one home in four
has postponed the purchase of
some major items.

INFLATION is most severe
for people living on fixed in
comes, Social Security and oth
er federal assistance programs.
People whose earning capacity
is either limited or ended due
to age or disability depend on
small savings and Social Se
curity retirement benefits for
their daily needs. Yet the buy
ing power of widows who re
ceive Social Security benefits—
because of the declining value
of the dollar—is down 2.8 per
cent compared with 10 years
ago, and for retired workers
on Social Security “real” bene
fits are down 3.9 per cent. Bills
to deal with this problem are
now pending before the Senate
Finance Committee on, which
I serve, and hopefully will re
ceive. attention this session.
Interest rates in the past six
months have been manipulated

in an effort to regulate the
economy, and this action has
had a disastrous effect on in
dividuals seeking reasonable
loans and on many segments
of business. For example, the
building industry, one of the na
tion’s largest employers, has
become almost stagnant in
many areas because of high
interest rates.
A HARRIS SURVEY shows
that, by far, the most popular
anti-inflation measure would be
to reduce government spend
ing, a position which I have
held for a long time. Other
alternatives are wage and price
controls, and possibly a tax
raise.
In my opinion, we no longer
have the luxury of speculation
about what should be done. A
course of action must be chosen.
To my mind, there are two
remedial actions that could be
taken immediately to help sta
bilize the situation and bring
some semblance of order to our
economy. First, it must be real
ized that we cannot carry on
a war costing $2 billion a month
and at the same time expand
domestic programs of all types.
Priorities must be established
because our economy cannot
long stand the strain.
It seems to me also that we
should reduce our troop com
mitments in Europe very dras
tically, and call on those coun
tries which have greater gold
reserves than we to assume a
greater responsibility and a
greater share of the burden in
defending themselves. Our
European commitments cost
about $2.3 billion a year—much
of it being converted into a
dollar deficit and a gold drain.
These are steps that can and
should be taken without further
delay.

Asks Support of
Pierce, Brantley
County Voters
To the Citizens of Pierce
And Brantley Counties:
This is to announce Aat I am
offering myself as a candidate for
Member of the House of Repre
sentatives, District 84, Pierce
and Brantley Counties, in the
Democratic primary to be held
Sept. 14, 1966.
My purpose in offering as a
candidate is in the hope that I
may render a genuine service as
Representative of the two coun
ties in this district I sincerely
believe that in this capacity I can
be of help in obtaining some of
the benefits and services our a
rea needs.
I have raised a family of two
sons and two daughters, one still
being in high school and two in
college. Therefore, the youth of
our area have always been of
special interest and inspiration to
me. If elected as your Represen
tative, this is an area that will
be close to my heart. The edu
cation and welfare of our young
people must never be secondary
as we plan for future progress.
Since my business and liveli
hood have always been directly
dependent on the prosperity of the
farmer, I can certainly pledge
myself to work for the best in
terests of farm people as Repre
sentative.
I am sure i can work harmon
iously with your elected local and
state officials, whoever they may
be.
In humility I solicit your con
sideration of my candidacy, and
if you see fit to give me your
vote and support, I will ever be
grateful.
Respectfully,
STEVE NIMMER

Roscoe Emory Dean Jr.
Dean Fights
For Low Taxes
Lower TAXES have been and
will be Senator Roscoe Dean’s
biggest concern. Roscoe Dean
has never voted for any tax in
crease. Roscoe Dean has fought
against all tax increases. Ros
coe Dean voted AGAINST his own
salary increase. Dean voted again
st the people having to pay their
taxes at the same time they re
ceived their car and truck tags.
This would work a hardship on the
people.
Roscoe Dean advocates the for
mation of taxpayer association,
whcih will help lower the cost of
government.
On September 14, vote for lower
taxes and economy in government
. . . Vote for Roscoe Emory Dean,
YOUR State Senator, “The Peo
ple’s Candidate.”
