Those th at have driven on the newly-oiled stre e ts of Brookings will perhaps have experienced a joy th at comes from long wish ing, long w aiting and at last realization. How happy hom em akers m ust be, not to m ention the ta x payers to actually see results accomplished. It has been m ost difficult for everyone—this w aiting period. The City Council is to be congratulated upon the speed and apparent ease w ith which this job has been m aneuvered and be gun. Nowhere is there an apparent “hitch.” It may be th a t the “City Dads” have many a parental conflict am ong them selves and within their group, but to the onlooker all is smooth sailing, which only loyalty can accomplish. They have worked long hours and in some cases neglected their businesses to give tim e for this parental job. Mr. Arp, city inspector, has perhaps born the blunt of the city street program . However, he does not m ake final decisions until the council passes upon them . He plays much the same role as the fem inine m em ber of the family that forages forth in Brookings for a home to ren t or buy. W hile her “b etter half' is busy “bringing in the bacon" she does th e leg work. ^One consolation exercise is good for the figure) and when she finds a fte r perhaps nays, weeks, or perhaps m onths of search, a suitable place for her brood, fath e r then sails forth, gives his OK, signs the check and takes too much of the credit when showing oil to his friends. Mr. Arp. we, as citizens, will be taking too much of the credit when showing the new Brookings off to our friends. You must forgive us. In exchange, perhaps, we will show our appreciation to you and the City Council, who have m ade this program possible by taking care of th at which has been provided for us. We realize that this first application of the asphalt emulsion on the surface will not stand up if cars and trucks are driven w ith sjieed. “O ldsters” as well as youngsters, will be cautioned to please drive as though they might be expecting a hole just around the corner. True, It is a tem ptation to speed on streets free of ehuekholes and dust, but if Brookings people are to have the streets in good condition for any length of tim e they m ust care for them. ! ! Letter From Washington , HARRIS ELLSW ORTH. M.C. T H E P R E S ID E N T S message on expenditures and taxes will serve t o clear the air a little bit on one subject. It seems to me he Reed hill to reduce income taxes «luring the last six m onths of this year is now dead. At least It should be T here would be little point in passing such a bill when it is prety obvious from President E isenhow er’s sta te m e n ts on the subject th at he would veto it. I am p retty much in agreem ent with the President on the subject of taxes. I feel that we should m ake every pos- sible effor to tak e in m ore than we pay o u t—in other words, bal ance the budget. Every penny tii?t our governm ent runs in the red —every penny of deficit- is paid with w hat in plain term s am ounts to printing press money. T hat m eans m ore inflation. In flation m eans devaluation of the dollar Devaluation of the dollar m eans that you can buy less with the dollars you earn or the dol lars you have saved. It seems plain common sense to me that we are m uch b e tte r off to pay for governm ent out of income ra th e r than to have both our savings and our incomes devalued by def icit financing. In other words, no one, no taxpayer, will be ahead if his governm ent borrows money 11 IK w r a iu c i v a i iir iv in ington. Already in four and one- azaleas.

The first was this: under the form er ad m inistration expenditures for the fu tu re w ere so scheduled as to reach their peak during 1954 and 1955. The second fuct was this: these are precisely the years when — under exist ing laws — Federal revenue from taxes, under scheduled reductions, will fall sharply downward. If we do nothing about this, the results of these facts could only be: bigger def icits, g re a te r governm ent bor rowing, ever increasing cost of living. depreciated savings, higher and higher cost of the n atio n /s security.” The obvious way of geting out of the tra p he describes is to cut governm ent expenditures as much as possible and continue ihacs until the strain is eased CH ETCO rnis has been a record break- PHILLIPS Lad & Dad Shop INN y “5L* 3 Day Service Latest Most Modern Equipment Plenty of Free Parking A M SUMMER SAFETY FOR VALUABLES Family vacations and open windows add Io s u m m er opportu nities fo r thieves.
