Today it has come to mean a refuge for the persecuted, down trodden people of the earth. Here they come to find the peace and security for which every human eternally strives. It is here that they find their pot of gold after a long trip to the end of the rainbow. The United States, which was first begun as a haven in the wilderness for the religiously perse cuted English, still welcomes the homeless or oppressed people of the homeless or oppressed peoples of the world to seek their fortune in her ever widening horizons of business, commerce or agriculture. This America, just a small col ony called Jamestown in 1607, is sow the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. To whom can we look for making this rapid progress possible? Perhaps it was the Irish cops, the German scientists, the Jewish businessmen, the Danish sailors? Or perhaps we could just say the peoples of all the countries of all the world who have come to America and become Americans. We, as Americans, know what an unexplicable thrill of pride passes through one's body when we see the stars and stripes waving proudly against the sky. But what people often forget, are the duties that come of living in a nation in which one is part of the government With privilege come obligation! For centuries men and women have struggled for mou freedom from the tyrannies of medieval feudal lords, freedom from the slave owner who regarded human life merely as his property, freedom from autocrats, kings, em perors, czars and princes who ruled as despots in order to maintain their power and prestige. But the human spirit cannot be long held in bondage. Eventually these tyrannized masses will revolt and insist that they be free to Written govern themselves. across the pages of history is the story of man's desire for freedom The Magna Charta, French Re volution, free schools, universal suffrage all these were steps towards what we know and live a democratic existence. It is wrong to think that free dom is the right to do just as one wishes; no matter the consequence ''VW?.-T- f "Prior to the time I took office In 1949, the State government was embroiled la scandal and there wis little evidence of any effort toward efficiency or economy in governmental operation. There hat been no scandal since I took office and virtually every department under my Jurisdiction ha reduced it adminittratfv costs, despite inflation. "One of the direct results of this economy effort hu beeu the greatest n dollar public building program In this State' history. The bulk of the surplus funds that have accumulated because of reduced operational costs have been channeled into project at almost every State Institution. "Because of this, more fund have been allocated and expended for building purposes during the last three and vears than was done in the ll entire twenty year previous," he continued, Oovernor Lee cited the cleanup of the State' liquor operation, the elimination of politic from the welfare pro gram, the revamping ot the state purchasing policies, and an accelerated road building and maintenance program as other highlights of his administra tion. Fundamental Principle Discussing his belief in fundamental principles of government, Governor Lee was convinced, he said, that good government could be obtained only when it was based on fundamental . truths and administered by officials of integrity capable of carrying out promised intentions. "A party' platform of a candidate's pledge cannot be more important than the intention to fulfill it," he said. "I believe that a public office is acred trust, that public officials have both a moral and legal obligation to uphold and defend the constitution and that eovemment must accord equal consideration to all with special favor to none. believe that the power to tax is the power to destroy, that power tends to corrupt, and thst present high taxes which have concentrated power and wealth In a centralized government are the underlying cause for the deterioration of our moral standards and the Incrrese of corruption.
