wr era n*wmmnu_r Vol. 34 — No. 29 NORTH CANTON, OHIO. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1960 10c Per Copy <watmy «* nrt rirtwt** rtKfiSAltm What's His Record? The political' contest is well under way. Candidates are popping up all over the horizon. Favorite sons are getting promises of support and probably making as many promises as they get. The political news is encroaching more and more on both foreign and domestic happenings on the pages of the newspapers. We are becoming better and better acquainted with the voices and looks of the candidates on radio and TV. Overseas, commentators in both press and radio are explaining, describing, and prophesying "the United States Elections." And in the case of the Communist nations and their satellites, castigating most of the candidates, and damming with faint praise a few. And all this is going to steadily increase as the months go by! There is one advantage this year. All the candidates this year have been in politics long enough so that they have records. There won't be any valid alibi for electorate ignorance. Of course the easy way out is simply accept what the candidate says and what his friends - and - followers say about him. But to do that would be shirking on the jiob of citizenship. The United States is a Republic — "a state in which the sovereignty resides in the people and the adrtiinistration is lodged in officers elected by and representing the people; a representative democracy." Freedom of choice is not only a right but a responsibility. Therefore, while there is still time, we must study the records. And that means not taking summaries and statistics, but looking at the record itself. Statistics are all right in their way, but they can be misleading.' I saw a record once that marked a man right in ten votes and wrong in one. When I dug deeper, I found the markings were all on one bill — he had voted down ten amendments and for the bill as originally written. In short, he never varied from the side the statisticians called "wrong." So look at the record of the candidates yourself, with the following questions in mind. Has he been consistent in his views? Has he shown opportunism by switching when it could help him? Has he shown loyalty to the party program on which he was elected1? Has he been absent when he didn't want to declare his position? How does his record fit in with his present position? Does he spend more time condemning what has been done than he does stating what he would do? Is he constructive, logical and fair? Does he keep his promises? Is he apt to be swayed by pressure? It is all there in the record. Now is the time to study it. Our Freedoms and Taxes Every time there is an easing pf tensions, there are outcries, over our high taxes and the demands made upon us for money to adequately defend our nation, and to keep our allies — we hope they are that — away from Communism. As a nation, and as individuals, we take defeat with bettp r grace than we do success. We have to know WHY before we will give up any of our advantages. When things are going well, we seem to forget that the only things we cannot afford to give up are our basic freedoms. What are these basic freedoms? Do you remember "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's — and unto God the things that are God's." One would like to add: Give unto man the things which are man's, give man his freedom and personality, his rights and religion." Those are the basic ideals which we as individuals, which we as a nation, must put first. Until they are assured to all peoples, they are not assured to any. Ih order to keep .these basic freedoms' we must give up many of our false notions such as that our comforts are idur essentials. Without the basic freeodms there is nothing of real importance. Ask those who have suffered when the Cojnmunists marched in. They know what is really important. The basic, things that are man's are his freedom — to speak and to think as an individual; his personality — his ability to make the best of himself; his rights — both as a citizen and as a man; and his religion, without which he has nothing. When \ye cppiplain about taxes that are the price we pay for the preservation of our way of life, we are forgetting what would be our lot were these basic freedoms to be torn from us. Taxes are one of the few yvays. in which every citizen can participate in the government. Taxes are the price of liberty. To pay taxes is a privilege, not a penalty. It is a proof of fitness. Slaves do not pay taxes. Only free men pay them. : I do not mean you should pay taxes blindly. It is your duty to keep a "watchful eye upon your legislators, lest they be tempted to spend your tax money on non-essentials. That, too, is but part of your responsibility as a citizen with a vote. , But let's stop complaining. If we want to be sure of retaining our bp«ic freedoms, we must be willing-to pay ior ttiera* And -freedom is worth, the price. Mrs. Rodemeyer To Head PTA Mrs. Peter 0.
