GUY LINES
That Warmn Poverty, sodear
to the hearts, if any, of the
Administration, seems to have
turned into a war on the bed=
raggled taxpayer likee you and
me. It has obviously turned into
a mass giveaway as LB] us
his lieutenants out everywhere
robbing Peter to pay Paul, try=
ing to lift all the have-nots up
to the status of the haves, whe=
ther they deserve it or not.
The President
and his henchmen
evidently have ne=
ver read the Bible
passage that ‘‘The
poor ye shall have
with you always.’
Jeses’ word s
not convincing to
them so they are
going to prove he
was wrong,
Actually, without putting all
poor people on the handout pay=
roll poverty will never be el=
iminated, even if the popula
tion remains dormant, which
it doesn’t but instead is in
creasing by leaps and bounds,
producing more and more poor
people who, according to Mr.
Johnson, must become the re=
sponsibility and the wards of
those who are able to get by
without going on welfare,
As the burden uponthe middle
classes, who pay the most taxes,
becomes greater and greater,
one of these days they will
not only be unable to continue
discharging these responsibili=
ties to their poorer neighbors
but they will have to join up
with the poor themselves and
ask for the same handouts.
It seems that almost daily
Mr. Johnson is forcing another
bill through Congress that will
cost the public-=that partion of
the public still able to pay=-
billions of dollars. If it isn’t
costing them that amount ini=
tially it will over the course
of a few years.
THE THREE THINGS
WE HAVE BUILT
OUR BUSINESS ON:

PHONE 366-3080
The latest gimmick to clip
the taxpayer is the multi=bil=
lion=dollar ‘‘renticare’’ plan,
which makes some taxpayers
pay part of the rent of others.
Sen. Harry Burd of Virginia
called it ‘‘opening another big
door to the welfare state, It
is a landlord’s and builser’s
subsidy. Builders will put up
the housing with FHA=~insured
mortgages, sell it to so-call=
ed non=-profit, limited dividend
or co-operative corporations or
public agencies.”’
Under this bill, which has
passed both Senate and House,
a tenant earning S4OO a month,
thus will pay one-fourth or
SIOO, a month rent and, if his
apartment costs $l5O , the
federal subsidy will pay the
SSO.
According to GOP Senator
John G. Tower of Texas, John=
son’s original proposal pro=
vided for federal rent subside
ies for families of ‘‘moderate
income,’’ ranging up to SB,OOO
or SIO,OOO a year., This caused
such hot protests that the De=
mocrats avoided certain defeat
by restricting it to persons
‘‘eligible for public housing.’’
The Republicans appear tobe
the only thinking people in
Washington today. Their meme
bers on the federal banking
committee declared, ‘‘No mat=
ter what income class is to be
the beneficiary, such a pro=
gram is not desirable.”’
Sen, Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina, now a Reupblican
warned Southerners that ‘‘the
rent subsidy program would
lead to more housing intergra=
tion by scatteratmn.’’
He added that the subsidized
housing would have to be ‘‘ra=
cially mixed and would be plac=
ed in presently all - white
areas.”’
Six of Georgia’s House de=
legation voted for Johnson's
rent subsidies, thus giving him
the six=-vot majority he needed
for a squeaker victory, 208
to 202, In the Senate Dick
Russell and Herman Talmadge
were both on record as oppos=
ing the Johnson subsidy plan.
So, now, you and I are going
to help to pay other families’
monthly rent even though we
may be having a struggle to
pay our own rent, OWr OWNn gro=
cery bill which has gone out
of sight, out own gasoline bill,
which is being increased by an=
other cent taxation per gallon.
Plus meeting the steadily re=
serve cost of living bill,
It isn’t only the federal go=
vernment with Mr, Johnson's
great desire for everybody to
get financial help in the lower
brackets so they will be sure

address by D. W. Brosnan, a

Railway system, which with
Central of Georgia, has a
big stake in Georgia’s fast
est growing county.
Mr. Brosnan, who was in
troduced by William J.
(Bill) Lee, who also repre

spoke glowingly of the fu
ture of Clayton County and
assured his listeners of the
all-out support of the two
railroads.

having purchased a million
dollars worth of land,

“We will always be a
member of the Clayton
County family and hope to
have a big part in future in

Mr. Brosnan pointed out
that in addition to land,
water, labor and transporta

in other words, are the citi

this respect Clayton County
is well off and he challenged
the Chamber to do every
thing it can to assure in
dustrial prospects that Clay
ton County has everything
to offer.
He alluded to the tax
climate, and Clayton Coun
ty certainly doesn't gouge
industries. As suggested,
Clayton County has every
thing to offer.

State Representative Bill Lee told this newspaper a most
significant day for Clayton County and Georgia was when
the cities were mailed their first sizeable checks by the
State Treasurer which represents direct state grants for
street and traffic control purposes.
Lee remarked that he was delighted to have had a working
hand in this as a member of the House Appropriations com
mittee that initiated and appropriated this money to our
cities and which was approved by the entire General Assembly,
Lee gave it his wholehearted support just as he did the initial
smaller grants which began year 1963,
The respective amounts mailed to cities and Clayton County
totaled $62,201,08, broken down as follows:
Forest Park $38,694,42; Jonesboro $8,212,45; Mt, View
$6,294,21; Riverdale $3,000,00; Morrow $3,000,00; Lake City
$3,000,00,
Additionally Lee pointed out that in the year 1960, 8,306 Clay

portionate share of their grant in the Clayton County side of
College Park,
