I-’ 0 A COMPLAINT IN REGARD TO STATE HIGHWAY NO. CONDITION For some time. The Dade County Times has published various articles in regard to the condition of the above condition, and at times a few loads of crushed stone has been scattered over some of these bad places. There have been various statements as to signs, such "Road Slick-When Wet,” ’ Stop! while school bus is loading or unloading children" I do not see a single sign in regard to the road being slippery when wet, and only tv c _r three in regard to school bus STOP signs. We have had many wracks this winter and not a sin* !e load o. crushed stone has been pul on the road. Some serious have been caused by the road being slick Many cars have gone off the road, with little damage done. Yet the danger c people being killed, did happen yesterday, when a man killed just north of Rising Fawn What can be done? A Put crushed stone on slick places. B Put up signs. E J. Bible. A citizen who lives in south end of the county who is interested in all in the county. OBITUARY MRS ADDIF HISF Funeral services for Mrs Voiles Hise. 72. who died January 6th at the home of daughter.

A completely “new look" has I turned the tormerly dull and al¬ most dismal House of Represent¬ atives Into a thing of light and Dtauty. Gone are the huge steel girders and beams that made the Hall of Congress look more like a factory than a legis¬ lative hall. Gone are the dim lights and bad acoustics. In their places are a beautifully lighted and oblong demed ceil¬ ing, and tasteful decorations on the gallery walls. The seals of the States were preserved, and placed as a border for the domed ceiling. The acoustics have been improved by the scientific con¬ struction of the ceiling and the new wall treatments. Truman In Fine Fettle On Wednesday, January the President delivered in person his annual message on the of the Union. “The State of Union is still good." said a con¬ fident, poised and Truman. Absent was the ing insistence that marked of his messages last year. lie was firm in his Deal program; but his tone was friendly and his approach milder than in former addresses to the ; Congress. Especially noteworth was his attitude toward business whi h was distinctly friendly There was nothing new in his message, except possibly his in- ■ slstenee upon the importance of curbing monoply in the interest , of small business. He visioned a rapidly expanding economy : during the next fifty years of our century, and in this growth he said "lie possibilities for hundreds of thousands of new and independent businesses." He added that if the number of new businesses did not increase it would signify that a few dom- I inant economic groups have be¬ come a challenge to democracy "We must curb monopoly and provide aid for independent businesses,” he said. Monopoly A Threat To Private Enterprise During the vacation period following the adjournment of the first session of the Eighty- first Congress I had the privilege of speaking before many civir and patriotic groups. In many j of these speeches I stressed the ' danger of monopoly to our free enterprise system, and the ne¬ cessity for enforcing and 1 strengthening our anti-trust laws. At the last session of Congress the House passed a bill which would tend to prevent monopolistic mergers I express¬ ed the hope that the Senate would early in this session act on this bill which would plug the loop-hole that has long ex¬ isted in our laws intended to prevent monopoly. Mr, Truman in his message on the State of the Union, expressed the same hope. It is in this way only that we can keep open the op¬ portunities for our young people to enter business for themselves and establish independent or¬ ganizations that will make them free to order their own lives, rather than be forced to work for some iarge corporation that has monopolized the field it serves. President Asks Moderate Tax Increase In this connection he said. “To further improve our fiscal outlook, we should make some changes in our tax system which will reduce present inequities, stimulate business activity" i re¬ peal of war rates on excise taxes, for instance “and yield a mod¬ erate amount of additional rev¬ enue." He promised to make specific recommendations in a future budget message All in all his speech was in such general terms that little fault could be found with it He was suggesting ultimate goals for our economy and our demo¬ cracy which all have to admit are desirable Differences come when we are called upon to im¬ plement and seek to accomplish these objectives. Of course, all of us from the South differ with him on his so-called Civil Rights program, for we are certain that it is the wrong approach to the problem posed by the existence of minority groups in our midst. la ton Allotment Law To Be Amended I am sure that everyone real¬ izes that if the government is to continue to support prices on farm products at ninety per cent of parity, which I have always advocated and voted for, the government must have some way cO control production. It was for this reason that the Congress passed at the last session the a .cage control law. It is always difficult to draft and enact such a law that will not develop in¬ equities and unfair situations. The law we passed is no excep¬ tion to this rule. The trouble has arisen because of our de¬ sire and efforts to be fair to those who shifted from produc¬ tion of cotton to other crops during the war years. In pass¬ ing the law we included a war crop credit, which has proved larger than we expected, and which has tied up acreage in many instances that farmers who have .hanged their crop practices and program do not want to plant.

It is hoped that this can be done before planting time for the 1950 crop.
