A thought: IF LOUISIANA REACHES THE POINT WHERE SHE HAS ONLY ONE MAN FIT TO SERVE AS HER GOVERNOR, SHE WILL BE IN A BAD FIX. Jumping from politics to the eco nomic state of our nation The dispatches this morning tell us that business groups, with qual ifiedjsupport from the administra- uuu, pidu lu upen a unve in con gress tomorrow for a tax relief program designed to SPUR PRI VATE U.S. INVESTMENTS ABROAD. In three days of hearings by the house of representatives ways and means committee, this group will back a bill to postpone in come taxes on earnings from over seas investments as long as these earnings are reinvested abroad. Hmmmmmmmmmm. American private investments abroad are admittedly better than manna-from-hcaven money show ered down indiscriminately in the form of foreign aid. But Our BIG need is to keep condi tions at home such that U.S. in dustry won't be driven to the need to build industrial plants ABROAD in order to meet the competition of foreign producers whose costs are lower. That would amount to EXPORT ING JOBS. We need to export THINGS. If we're forced to start export ing JOBS in order to stay in busi ness, our industrial goose will be cooked. ' Chicago goes all out today to greet Queen Elizabeth II with a spic-an'-span. spit-an'-polish clean liness and tidiness. The dispatch es tell us: It's doubtful that there was speck of trash along any of the miles of streets the Queen trav elled, and even the .pigeons on State Street seemed to have flown in from a bird bath. Forty horses of a Medinah Shrine troop that escorted her majesty and Prince Philip on one leg of their procession ' were washed down in water and alco hol to eliminate offensive odors. ..... Cleanup crews, fitted out in fresh work clothes were assigned to follow the mount ed procession and scour the streets. The Queen and her consort came down from Canada via Lake Mich igan in the royal yacht, the Brit tannia. Ten workers toiled all day, Sun day adjusting a floating landing dock so the Queen wouldn't have to step a fraction of an inch up or down in debarking from her yacht. The job cost $8,000. The Windy City's general clean up is above reproach. Chicago can stand a little cleaning up and sprucing up. But I can't help thinking that $8,000 expended to keep the Queen from having to step up a quarter of an inch or down a quarter of n inch mav have been overdoing It "gilding the lily," to use an expressive phrase of our Mgnsn literature. nuoen Elizabeth II is an active. healthy young woman, according to all accounts. It wouldn t have hurt her to step up or down a fraction of an inch in order to gave the taxpayers of Chicago some $8,000. u was different when Sir Walter Raleigh spread his cloak to save Queen Elizabeth I from muddymg her pretty shoes.
