A Bribe of Vi of 1%!
In an appearance before the Ontario Chamber of Com
merce last Friday, following the highway dedication
ceremonies, Mrs. Maurine Neuberger praised the efforts
to control billboard advertising on the new interstate
highway.
She pointed out that there was much opposition to
this legislation and emphasized that the new national
policy could be put into effect only by laws within each
individual state.
It was further noted by Mrs. Neuberger that accord
ing to federal law, “States have only until July 1, 1961,
to enter agreements with the Secretary of Commerce in
order to come under the provisions of the national bill
board control law.’’ She further explained that “States
which agree to regulate billboards along the new inter
state highway system will receive a federal bonus of
one-half of pne percent of the cost of highway construc
tion.”
Another quote of Mrs. Neuberger’s was, “America’s
taxpayers, who are footing the bill for our new federal
highway system, are entitled to have their investment
protected and to enjoy an uncluttered view of the coun
tryside without the ever present intrusion of billboards.”
We have no fuss with those who are circulating the
petitions to control this advertising by the outdoor bill
board industry but we thoroughly dislike the “BLACK
MAIL” feature of the law giving the Vi percent reward
for states who control it.
If this highway system is built primarily for military
purposes and is to be financed by federal funds, then the
laws controlling the construction should be the same
through all the states. If control is good it should be in
all the states. And why should any of these highway
funds be used to buy votes to control lining these high
ways with billboards?
This bill, sponsored by the late U. S. Senator Neu
berger, was passed by the same congress that approp
riated a few hundred thousand dollars to make a study
of juvenile delinquency.
This report has just been released and gave absolute
ly no information that was not already available. It
showed a vast increase in crimes by juvenile delinquents
—a much faster increase than the rate of population
growth. It also noted that there was a lack of trained
personnel familiar with handling this type of problem.
If the congress should learn that crime, based on
population, had reached an all-time high, while church
membership had also reached a similar peak, we feel
sure they would appropriate a few hundred thousand to
make a study of this anomaly.
It is time we made a study of what our lawmakers
plan for us and not what they plan for themselves It is
not sufficient that they are willing to help the potato
growers, the beet growers, or the grain growers. They
must be for the welfare of all the people and we don’t
mean economically. We must not sell our votes for a
“mess of pottage.”
.
Back to the Classroom
Let’s do some arithmetic.
Advocates of federal aid to education say we need
$975 million in federal funds to build new schools in the
next three years. They have a bill in congress to approp
riate the money, at $325 million per year.
The House Education and Labor committee, which
studied the bill and reported on it, placed the yearly need
for new classrooms at 52,700 for 19o0-64, and fewer there
after. If federal funds are needed to build these class
rooms, it would seem that local sources are not able to
construct them at the desired rate of 52,700 a year Yet
the fact is that over the last 10 years—without any fed
eral aid—the construction rate has averaged 59,400 class
rooms a year. Since 1955, the average has been 66,900
Under the congressional bill, 42 percent of the federal
tax money would go to just seven states. Far from being
the seven “neediest” states, these are seven of the richest
—New York, California, Pennsylvania. Texas, Ohio, Illi
nois and Michigan.
When you add it up, the argument for federal school
building funds isn’t very convincing.
