The news today?
A surprising lot of it has to
do with schemes to raise money
enough to pay the bill for rising
cost of government.
The little state of New Hamp
shire started something the other
day when it legalized a lottery
in the form of a horse race
sweepstakes from which it hopes
to collect some four million dol
larswhich will be allocated to
. communities throughout the state
for support of schools.
The New Hampshire governor
called it a "legitimate fiscal ex
periment" that has the backing
of a majority of the state's citi
zens. That brought from the gov
ernor of nearby Massachusetts
a statement to the effect that his
state would have a lottery also
if voter sentiment was followed
In Sacramento yesterday. As

Washington, Representative
Paul A. Fino, of New York, wasi
encouraged by New Hampshire's
action to call in the reporters
and tell them that in his opinion
there is only one way to cut
taxes, reduce the national debt
and still have money enough for
schools, housing, disabled veter
ans and health care adopt a NA
TIONAL lottery.
He added:
"There's no question that the'
New Hampshire action will have
a tremendous impact on mem
bers of congress. It will provide
impetus for the congress to take
a second look at the national ml
tcry bill."
Maybe.
Bul-
The Conuress of the United
States of America has another
way out equally simple and just
as ellcctive. The Ways and
Means committee of the U.S.
House ol Representatives voted
yesterday to RAISE THE NA
TIONAL DEBT ceiling to a new
high of $.109 billion dollars. This
latest hike in the debt ceiling
would become ellcctive on July
I. During the interim the debt
ceiling, now $305 billion, would
4e set at $307 billion, and some
lime before August 31 Congress
would be asked to set a new,
and presumably higher, ceiling
for the coming year.
Simple, isn't it?
You spend and spend and spend
putting it on the cuff until the
lime comes when there is no
longer any room lelt and then
you put through a bill to BUY
A NEW CUKF.
It's a wonderful system. I
It beats the national lotlerv
