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.

WEEKLY
LETTER
• YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS
“New Look" Greets Us.
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. This has result¬

To correct this situation,
Committee on Agriculture pro¬
poses to amend the law promptly
