IS AGAINST BIG PENSIONS TO RETIRED POLITICIANS - Benefit
all equally instead of the favored few.
Willie Huddleston wonders what happened to the idea of office holders
serving the State without expecting large pensions. Where is the stateman
instead of the politician? He proposes to introduce legislation to the effect
that no one elected to public office after Jan. , 1969, be eligible to a pen
sion larger than career workers for the state. He also proposes that all State
employees be covered by one pension plan benefiting all alike.
IS \GAINST TAX INCREASES —Get more from the lax dollar
Willie Huddleston believes that if tax dollars were spent like business in
vestments, they would not only go further, but could even yield a return.
For instance, some departments of our government do not pay their bills
on time and are not eligible to take advantage of 2% discounts. Even
worse, they often have to pay late charges to suppliers. These practices
have led to higher bidding by those seeking to sell to the taxpayers. Willie
Huddleston is opposed to endless spending and any tax increase.
IS FOR BASING BUDGETS ON NEED —and saving dollars
Willie Huddleston believes that State budgets should be determined by
the need of each department, after careful study, regardless of the budget
for the previous year These budgets are now often determined by the pre
vious year's expenses plus a flat 10% increase. This practice has result
ed m unnecessary spending during the last months of the year to assure
spending the budget and getting an increase in the following year. Using
this system, our budget will double in eight years on a regular 10% in
crease yearly, yet it would take our population 50 years to double and sup
port this tax burden at our present millage rate. Willie Huddleston feels
this is no basis for establishing a budget.
Willie lluddh -ton is a successful business man who believes that Gov
ernment is also a business and should be handled according to the
same principles that make private enterprise successful. Study his
ideas —they make sense.

master W. H. Phillips of For

postmasters from throughout
the United States who at
tended the annual conven

WEED FACTS
Herbicide treatments range
in cost from $2 per acre for
small grains to more than S2O
per acre for ornamentals, lawns
and noncropland, according to
Dr James F. Miller, agronomist
with the University of Georgia
Cooperative Extension Service.
On many farms empty pesti
cide containers can be found at
this time of the year. Maxey
Nolan, entomologist with the
University of Georgia Coopera
tive Extension Service, says
these empty pesticide con
tainers should be destroyed.
Fire Danger Cited
By Forestry Head
Macon With the first killing
frost just around the corner,
Kay Shirley, director, Georgia
Forestry Commission, urges all
citizens to use extreme care
with all sources of fire in or
near woodland areas.
Shirley, in making the plea,
cited the acute deficiency in
rainfall during the past 21
months. From Middle Georgia-
South, the rainfall deficiency
ranges from approximatley 20
to 33 inches. He emphasized
that the long range weather
forecast indicates that the fire
weather danger will continue in
general with only isolated re
lief.
Shirley pointed out that be
low normal rainfall, coupled
with a brush and grass killing
frost, will make our fire danger
IS FOR EDUCATING CHILDREN ACCORDING TO NEED AND
ABILITY—The more we learn, the more we earn.
Willie Huddleston believes that State funds should be made available to
counties to educate all children according to their needs and abilities. We
need trade schools to teach a marketable skill to those whose abilities and
ambitions do not anticipate college, for the mutual benefit of industry and
labor. We need schools to concentrate on a more effective college prep
aratory program, and a stronger program to teach the retarded. School
budgets, he feels, should be based on a survey of the children in each coun
ty under 6 years of age, to anticipate future needs.
IS FOR WATER AND SEWAGE SYSTEMS—necessary for more in
dustry
Willie Huddleston believes that when government is run on a businesslike
basis, we can provide, from budget surplus, the funds needed to help cities
and counties establish and improve water and sewage systems. He does not
favor giving tax money to them for this purpose, because granted money
has not been successful. Instead, he favors lending the money, thus requir
ing responsibility by the cities and counties. This practice would elimi
nate political maneuvering for the State funds. Investment of State mon
ey in this way would not only benefit those using it, but would earn a re
turn on State funds at the same time.
IS FOR BRIDGING HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS
Willie Huddleston would propose the construction of bridges to carry traf
fic over our major highways. These roads crossing our highways have been
the cause of an increasin gnumber of serious accidents and death. He also
proposes that these bridges be a minimum of 24 feet wide.
After you study these ideas, if you agree, discuss them with three
friends. If you don’t agree, discuss them with Willie Huddleston,
phone 478-8181. He wants to represent the people.

In August, 531 fires blazed
through 2,201 forest acres.
This is 41 more fires than the

Shirley added that more
