REPORT CARDS
GET AIX)NG
It does not appear that Mr
Truman should have~’difTicuity in
getting along with a Republican
congress, at least no more trouble
than he had getting along with a
Democratic congress last spring,
Action taken by Truman in re-
cent weeks meets pretty much the
announced policy of the Republi-
canW The in-coming party seems
to want to get rid of the govern-
mental controls that have been
restricting our economy and al-
ready Truman has removed“ most
of them by himself.
He has announced for economy
and while he hasn’t done much
toward that end he seems well
intentioned. There may be a con
flict about the reduction of in
come taxes; the présidait has
suggested that taxes might be cut
as much as ten percent and the
Republican leaders (some of them)
have spoken for a 20 percent cut.
The smaller the cut the larger
part of the war debt will be paid
out of war profits.
If the executive and the legis-
lative branches of our govern-
ment will forget politics for the
next year there Is no reason why
they should not get along very
well and do some good for the
nation.

There’s an ancient way
in which a purchaser might satisfy
himself of deer title to land. That is
through an exhaustive review of all
deeds, wills, marriages, heirships and
other documents by which the prop
erty has been conveyed, mortgaged,
leased or transmitted over a long
period of time. The purchaser of
land who protects himself with a
Commonwealth Insured Title avoids
this endless detail, knowing, too,
that no flaw will exist in the title
to cause loss.
