I Ve think that the Board of Education is taking the Land proper view. 1 The 1951 state legislature recognized a need for an Ward trend in school taxes, in order to accommodate i ri-iite school population in the state.

The least we want is a voting chance! ON RICHES When is a man rich ? When he has a private yacht? Or when he has a pair i shoes? An American schoolboy might give the first answer, Chinese peasant the second. And that leads us to the United Nations survey which Wes that average incomes in the United States are tearly five times more than in Russia, nearly 30 times 'sore than in Asia. One important fact we would point to here is that, according to these figures, the average Russian income is about six times as high as the average Asian. Does this suggest why American propaganda on that continent may sometimes overshoot the mark ? To the 'average Asian visiting Russia the Soviet standard of living would be very impressive, while still remaining .within conceivable attainment by Asian efforts. But ,the fabulous prosperity and luxury of American life 'eaves him untouched. Surely, he is apt to think, the 'democracy preached by Americans can have no conceive-able conceive-able relation to his entirely different needs and problems. prob-lems. J It is not enough, therefore, to point with pride to American Am-erican accomplishments any more than one would pad a threadbare workman shopping for bargains to a (Fifth Avenue show window. If democracy is not to look (Se a luxury article fine for those who can afford it .'ten it must be presented on terms adapted to the re-prces re-prces and earning power of the Asian masses.

Watkini The controversy over price and wage controls still raiges even though the Congress has passed the 1951 price and wage control act and the President has signed it. Current statements by Mobilization Director Wilson and Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston predict a cost of living liv-ing increase in the very near future. They are but following the lead of the President who has predicted the law's fail ure.

My neighbor raises the most lovely flowers all her dwarf flowers turn out to be giant plants. I know a man who swears he raises the best corn in the valley. And so it goes.

Louise P. is a trained RN and has published a novel so she has laurels to her credit. I ask my self: what possible reason could I have for wanting to write a better column than they do. It's not conceit. It is a desire to do one thing better than anybody else.

Control Dubious j Frankly, short of absolute dic-atorial dic-atorial power such as they have in Russia, in my opinion no price and wage control can stop inflation when every act of the administration in the economic, financial and spending field is highly inflationary.

Despite Des-pite th!s situation, however, I believe the administration, by exercising the powers it has under un-der the Defense Production Act, by controlling credit, by allocating allo-cating and controlling materials mater-ials and goods, and by adhering to a rigid economy program, can do a great deal to lessen the inflationary in-flationary presures on our economic econ-omic system.
