Regulation Bv Edict The Federal Communications Commission has ruled that radio and TV stations which broadcast smoking commercials must provide air time to anti-smoking programs. The FCC will permit the stations to try to sell time for the anti-smoking programs, but will require that if no sponsor can be found the time must be provided without ch. 'je. Of course, the first thing that come to mind is, when will magazines, and newspapers, including this one, face similar coercion? Will we be ordered to furnish equal space for anti-smoking advertisers, free, if we accept tobacco adver tising? And if such an edict can be imposed with respect to tobacco advertising’,' what product or industry will next be singled out for attack? Candy, maybe? There are those who make a strong case against eating candy, alleging that it causes overweight, cavities of the teeth, a tendency to diabetes, etc. Will the FCC or some sister club of bureaucrats in Washington tell radio, TV and this newspaper that if we accept candy advertising we must make equal space available to the critics of candy eating? Prohibition, which President Hoover described as “an experiment, noble in purpose,” provided abundant proof that man cannot be coerced into goodness by legislation. So the FCC is going to try a new approach: the bureaucratic edict. Clearly burearcrats can issue more edicts than Congress can ever find time to pass into law. Already the proposals tossed into the legislative hopper of the Congress far exceed the capacity of Congressmen to give intelligent consideration to more than a fraction of the measures upon which they must pass judgment. The bureaucratic edict will by-pass Congress and speed things up. Whether or not such edicts are dis criminatory, or even constitutional — why that determination can be stalled for years in the courts through appeals, re trials and delaying tactics. In case you have forgotten, we remind you that the anti smoking controversy was initiated by none other than the United States Government, through the office of the Surgeon General. And Assistant Attorney General Donald F. Turner, of the anti-trust division, has been wanting to regulate corp orate advertising anyway. The FCC has shown him how to do it simply by edict.

The out to have been the wrong present budgetary situation, thing to do. military situation and economic N. A.

Riding Club Plans Yearly RodeoWorkday All - Time Record The developing budgetary sit uation indicates that we are headed »or a federal deficit In the coming fiscal year which would beat all previous peace time records. We are almost compelled to do something about it -- either by beefing up rev enues or by cutting government spending. The military situation is still full of unknowns. In January, President Johnson suggested that peace “could return sooner than we dare expect.” Recent headlines indicate that there is an equal possibility of things going the opposite way. The economic situation is also surrounded by an area of doubt. The business slow down in the first half of 1967 has turned out to be more severe than anticipated. The general expectation is still that the economy will turn up with out an intervening recession but so far there are no clear signs that the upsurge has started. Meanwhile we ar« warned that the rising price trend has not been ended. It has briefly been held in check by temporary factors. We have to face the possibility of a con tinuation of the slowdown, a re newal of inflation, or even both together. Our instincts warn us to be cautious in choosing a line of economic policy for dealing with this situation. The government’s kit of pol icy tools offers a number of choices. For example, mone tary policy Is often viewed as an alternative to fiscal policy. Policy makers might let the budget drift in its present direction and attempt to offset its inflationary effects by tightening money and credit This is the policy which was followed during most of 1966 and it almost led to disaster. The 1967 business slowdown la largely its aftermath and in any case, it did not prevent prices from rising in 1966. Monetary policy should play its part in coming months, but no body seriously thinks we can put the entire burden of econom ic policy needs on it. Choices Listed If fiscal policy is also to play its part, the choice lies among: increasing taxes, cut ting expenditures, or a com bination of the two. At some point along the line an increase in taxes may become unavoid able. It would be silly to rule that possibility out uncon ditionally. But an Increase in A sponsoring member of Owyhee Riding Club announced that a work day will be held June 18 at the rodeo grounds. The queens drawing will be held at 2 p.m., Sunday, June 18 at the City Park, with a potluck dinner at 7 p.m. These events are taking place in preparation of the rodeo and carnival which will be held July 14 and 15.
