Inflation is a top issue. Economic prosperity that will last in a free world requires a sound dollar. Governments like to spend. When, in this ' Country or in any other, ; there is a persistent inflationary bias, the centTal govem--? ment is always to blame. It not .only controls monetary ) policy, it can unbalance the budget by promising all sorts of things that cost more money than it cares to collect -; : .. .in taxes. , with Of bills these It pays course, printing press money. with a little sleight of hand, concerned with selling bonds to banks, etc.) You may be sure that the government, will, blame others for die rising cost of living. It would be far more difficult to buy votes with promises of ; public money if more people understood inflation. That's your job to help them understand. Only the people can stop this practice of the Supreme Court in changing the Constitution to suit its own fancy and the democratist variety of politics. As long as there is liberty, we shall not lack for issues, nor for the need to understand them. The threat to freedom is clear. We are part of the decision as to what shall be done about it. ! -- - : . ; : ! , . ! , : ; , : , ' ' v . : By Laurence Burton Thomas Jefferson once said, "Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it" That fact is one of the great blessings of a free society such as ours. However, in the matter of the war in Vietnam it is difficult for most of us to know which is "error" and which is "reason" and to find out who there is among us that can tell the difference.
