Overdue House
Cleaning
Newsweek recently devoted a
page to the expected house clean
ing in the Department of the In
terior. It observed, “Through its
dams, ditches, transmission lines,
and officeholders, Interior became
the prime instrument of New Deal-
Fair Deal assertion of federal
authority as opposed to state, lo
cal, and private responsibility.
Thus, it also became the depart
ment most likely to be done over
by the new Administration.” It
added that Interior’s biggest unit,
the Reclamation Bureau, which ac
counts for close to hair of the
half of the department’s total bud
get. “looks for a mapor recasting.”
It is devoutly to be hoped that
the new Interior Secretary, former-
Governor McKay of Oregon, will
do a bang-up remodeling job in
the shortest possible time. Interior
has not only waste tremendous
sums of the taxpayers’ money but
has advocated a political philos
ophy opposed to every American
concept of government.
Interior has been the bellwether
of the socialistic drive. The most
conspicuous example has been its
unremitting effort to natitotnalize
the electric power producing re
sources has been its unremitting
effort to nationalize the electric
power producing resources of the
natiton and to block development
by the publicly-regulated, heavily
taxed, business-managed utility
companies.
Interior, as it has been admin
istered, is 100 per cent ttypical of
the philosophy which the voters
overwhelmingly repudiated last
I November. The housecleaning is
long overdue.
Up To "The
People Bock Home"
Taxpayer’s Dollar, a publication
of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, recently had
this to say: “Beonomy in Wash
ington is possible only if the peo
ple back home genuinely want it,
and work for it. There are two
ways in which the people in the
cities and states of the nation
can work for economy:
“First, they can set, that no
pressures are put on the govern
ment for more spending. Almost
everybody wants economy, but al
most everybody also, has some pet
projects on which he thinks fed
eral money ought to he spent. An
$80,000,000,000 budget is made up
in large part of these pet pro
jects—a million here and a million
there. By refraining from such
pressures, and by urging others
to do the same, the people back
home can ease the burden on the
taxpayer.
“Second, they can urge action
for economy on the government,
both in the executive branch and
in Congress. In a democracy, it is
the right and duty of the citizen
not only to vote, but to take an
active and continuous interest in
his government. Federal spending
—and taxes—are certainly among
the foremost concerns of every
citizen.”
In the long run, the people get
the kind of government they want
and deserve—whether it be eco
nomical, efficient government, or
wasteful, corrupt government. One
of the most indefensible practices
of the last. 20 years has been the
way all kinds of local groups, in
cluding most chambers of com
merce, have demanded government
economy — and then demanded
right along with it appropriations
that would put tax money in their
pockets. If we are to have eco
nomy, there can be no exceptions.
Records
Fall Again
In 1952, for the 10th straight
year, production, processing and
distribution of oil soared to all
time peaks.
As a result, 1952 witnessed the
establishment of new high records
in almost every phase of the com
plex business of supplying us with
a multitude of oil products.
During the year, total demand
hit the almoat incredible figure of
2,800,000,000 barrels. More crude,
natural gas, motor fuel and dis
tillate crude oil were produced than
In any other comparable period.
A record number of new wells were
drilled. And refinery capacity was
greater than ever before.
These accomplishments cost
money—huge amounts of money.
The industry’s expansion budget
last year was in the neighborhood
of $4,000,000,000—a jump of near
ly 25 per cent over the 1951 figure.
Total capital expenditures since
World War II ended are approach
ing $20,000,000,000.
In the foreseeable future, the
demand for oil products is expect
ed to continue to increase, though
at a slower rate. Whatever hap
pens, almost no 'one doubts the
industry’s ability to make the sup
ply balance the demand, and to
meet every need promptly. At, the
same time, the industry will lo
cate new sources of all under
ground in preparation for the re
quirements of many years hence.
This is the way free, competi
tive enterprise works. It. marks
a tremendous contrast with condi
tions in those nations where the
government bosses everything —
and where there are shortages of
oil and any number of other ba^ie
commodities.
Voice Os
The People
The advocates of socialized elec
tricity always claim that the peo
ple want their power service to
be provided by government—and
that they are blocked by “selfish
interests” which put special
privilege above the public good.
That argument suffers from one
little fault. It has been true for
many years that when public pow
er proposals have been voted on
by the people, the vast majority
of them have been roundly de
feated.
Two typical examples of this
long-term trend occurred recently.
In an Arkansas county, an act to
create a public utility district with
power to condemn tax-paying busi
ness-managed utilities was massa
cred by a four-to-one vote. In a
Washington state county two com
missioners who campaigned on the
platform, “Keep our tax-paying
electric company at work for us,”
won by a two-to-one margin.
Various national polls have been

taken in an effort to find out if
the people want the government
to take over the power business.
The verdict has always been no.
This being true, why has social
ized power gone so far in this
country—to the point where it ac
counts for something like 20 per
cent of the total ? The answer is
simple: with few exceptions, it
has been bulldozed by socialistical
ly-inclined political groups and by
government bureaus which have
grown so large and complex as to
be beyond the effective control of
Congress. When the American
people have a chance to register
their opinion of any socialistic
idea, the odds are long that- they
will turn thumbs down.
New Diet Book Helps
Heart Patients Enjoy
Food Despite Restrictions
Publication of “Food For Your
Heart,” the first complete, low
priced handbook in the field of
diets for heart patients was an
nounced today by the Georgia
Heart Association. The book pre
sents nine diets, sample menus,
and the latest information on nu
trition in relation to heart disease.
Endorsed by the American Medi
cal Association’s Council on Foods
and Nutrition, the new guide will
be available to heart patients in
Georgia as a service of the Geor
gia Heart Association—but only
on their doctor’s order. The diets
menus, and other information
were complied by the staff of the
Department of Nutrition, Harvard
School of Public Health. Dr. Fred
ric!; J. Stare, chairman of the de
partment headed a special commit
tee of the American Heart As
sociation which supervised the
preparation of the handbook.
“Food For Your Heart” super
cedes the “Cook Book for Low
Sodium Diet” provided for heart
patients by the Georgia Heart. As
sociation during the past year.
The new manual still provides
necessary information on the low
tractors have with the throttle wide open!
You can set the throttle of the Ferguson
"30” at a safe, economical speed and leave it
there all day long. You can slow to a
creep in heavy going without stalling or
shifting gears. You can slow down to
cross a headland furrow without stopping
or shifting.

sodium diet but also covers de
sirable weights and how to reach
them, cholesterol and heart dis
ease, and general dietary prin
ciples in tab-indexed form for easy
reference.
The. manual makes clear that
"neither a low codium diet nor
weight control nor any other treat
ment should be considered a cure
pressure. No cures have yet been
discovered. But diet therapy will
probably help the patient, es
pecially when started early. Low
sodium diets have helped many
hypertensive patients and have en
abled others with weakened hearts
to lead fuller and happier lives.”
No one yet knows, “Food For
Your Heart” points out, why. over
weight favors the development of
heart disease and high blood pres
sure. But it is known that extra
pounds mean a heavier burden on
the heart and blood vessels. Many
physicians think removing excess
weight, even when no disease is
present, is good preventive medi
cine.
Publication of the diet guide is
a part of the Heart Association’s
program to combat heart disease
through research, education and
service to heart patients. This pro
gram is supported, by the Heart
Fund Drive each February.
