On of th resolutions csllrd (or n end to wasteful government spending. THOMAS JEFFERSON would lin approved that You will remem ber that ha said, among many oilier wins things: "I plsos economy among lha first and moat Important virtues, and .public debt aa tin OREATKST o( naugers to be (eared. ... To pre , aerva our Indriwndence, we must '' not let our rulers load us with per petual debt. . . . Wa must make our choice between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. 'If wa run Into such debt wa must be taxed In our mrat and drink. In our necessities and our comforts. In our labors and In our amusements. . . . K we can pre vent the government (rum wasting the labors of the people, under the PRETENSE of caring (or them, they I the people) will be happy." T his regular weekly newa con " ference In Washington this morning, President Truman got In same good licks. At his last con ference, ha talked about a possible Increase In taxes. Whereupon aev ral members of congress called loudly (or a CUT In spending. The President repealed today that he knows of no way la wipe out the federal deficit without Increasing taxea and recalled a suggestion by Democratic Senator Lewis of Illinois that (our and a half billions could be lopped off the budget next year. Ha then remarked that the place for member of congress to mske suggestions Ilka that IS ON CAP ITOL HILL. HES dead right there, f T...4 it.tlttill.m II Is the right and duty of congress to hold the nation's purse strings. When a member of congress com plains that the President la spend ing too much money and ought to spend less. It's like a parent com plaining that his child won't mind and calling on the legislature to pssa a law to maka him mind. When swthlld. won't mind. It Is up to the parent to REQUIRE obedience. Wa have plenty of law to uphold the parent's authority. When lha President insists on spend ing too much (or tha country's good. It Is up to congress to RE PUS!! TO APPROPRIATE THE MONEY. Wa hsva plenty of law to uphold the right of congress to refuse to provide money that It thinks shouldn't be spent. ' WHEN congress cries about too much spending, but refuses to use Its constitutional authority to HALT THE SPENDINO. It merely makes Itself absurd. TP you sincerely believe our (ederal government Is spending loo much and would like to know how to work on your congressman and your sen ators to get them to oppose It, here Is tha way to go about It: WRITE TO THEM. Writ good, nor.est, sincere letters ON YOUR OWN INITIATIVE. Tell them In your own words Just what you think about It. If our congress gets enough letters like that (rom sincere constituents, our national spending WILL BE CUT to (It our national Income. U.S. May Ask Russ Aid In Ward Case WASHINGTON'. Nov. 18 (AI) New effort, to end the imprisonment of Consul (Jcncral Angii. Ward by the (.'liiiH'so Communist! termed an outrage by Pres ident Truman apparently will be based on the power of the pen instead of the big slick. One possible move by the department is dispatch of a note to Moscow asking Russian In tervention with the Red Chinese government. ' Another Is a new American appeal direct to the Communist government at Pelplug to Iree the American diplomat and permit him and hit whole aiaf( to leave Mukden as soon as possible. President Trumsn told a news conference yesterdsy Inst he thinks the Communist treatment of Wsrd Is an outrage. Charge The consul general, ranking American diplomat in Mukden in Manchuria, was arrested along with four staff members on October 24. The Communist rsdio said he was accused of having physically beaten a Chinese employee of the consulate In a wage dispute. The American government has hsd no direct word (rom him since. OUier members of the consulate staff hare been permitted to send him and his lour aides food and clothing for which Ihey have been given receipts. Their reports to the state department on the alleged In cident which caused the arrests have been suppressed by the Com munists. Silence The American government has been unsble to obtain sny esplana tlon direct from the Chines Com munist authorities at Peiplng. In fact those authorities simply Ignored a letter they received from Consul General O. Edmund Clubb asking Ward's relea-K. There has been no official Infor mation as to what the Mukden Com munists really Intend to do with the American diplomat. Price rive t ents I' -ly 1 KLAMATH PALLS, OREGON. FRIDAY.
