The Newspaper and A Book
Today is the first day of a
week-lona observance of Nat-
tonal Newspoper Week. The
theme this year is “Your News-

It s66iTis to us, that hoth th6sc
national weeks respective themes
are so closely tied as to make
proper, an editorial in tribute
to both of them. 1
For most of us take the Bible |
to be a textbook and since the,
newspaper is freedom’s text-

Don t Whip A Watchdog
We thought nearly everybody
knew that a watch dog, if it is
to effective, must not be whip¬
ped for barking at a thief. A
good watch dog ought to get an
extra biscuit instead of a beat¬
ing.
Now, as far as we know, most
'folks treat a watch dog with re¬
spect. But not the U. S. Senate.
In the last session the Senate
approved a resolution permit¬
ting the Rural Electrification
Administration to grant loans to
farmer co-ops even when they
compete with other utility ser¬
vices.
And this was done after the
General Accounting O f f i c e,
which is our fiscal watch dog,
held that a loan should be dis¬
allowed for the reason that the
proposed service—to an indust¬
rial power consumer—was avail¬
able from a private utility. The
Senate thus, in effect, whipped
our watch dog for doing exactly
what it’s supposed to do.
The resolution was adopted
without debate. We may never
know the thinking back of this
move, but the principle involved

should gravely disturb us. REA
was started to help bring elec¬
tric power to farmers lacking it.
It was specifically designed to
provide power to farmers in
isparsely settled regions, where
it could not be provided on a
commercial basis, due to high
costs.
Rural electrification is virt¬
ually complete in this country,
so now REA is out to move into
fields of service—urban and in¬
dustrial—far from the original
concept. When this happens, it
takes the business away from
private, taxpaying enterprise.
REA is being used as an in¬
strument in the forward drive
to gradually socialize this
nation’s electric industry and re
place it with tax-free, tax-
favored government monopolies.
And that, as socialist philosop¬
hers have said often, is the pre¬
lude to overall national social¬
ism.
We’re disturbed because we
know that Dade County’s treas¬
ury would be crippled if the
taxes from our private electric
utility were cut off.
