every cotton
grower,” he emphasized, noting
that Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan in recent testimony on
price control legislation said that
the fair price for cotton this year
'Question Box” should be at least 40 cents.’
A water scarcity prevented
farmers in much of the Southwest
area from making a bumper cotton
crop, the Cotton Growers Associa-
Ex- tion head said. This shortage oc-
curred because of extemely dry
weather due to the fact more acres
were in cotton.
“Our cotton farmers answered
the government’s call for higher
production and increased their cot-
ton acreage to do so. Then the dry
weather came along with the re-
sult that we just didn’t have en-
ough water to go around,” the cot-
ton industry leader stated.

nent. We continue spending, year-
after year, more and more, on pro-
grams meant to be temporary.-
We should not quit necessary
spending” to meet emergencies, at
home or abroad. But, when we be-
gin to spend, we should know how
much the total cost will be — and
how long our payments will run.
Imagine your personal financial
position if you were still paying
on every installment purchase you
ever made. You would be bank-
rupt by now. But when you go to
buy—a new car, a new stove, a
new tractor—you get the total
price, make a down payment, and
pay for a specific number of
months. While you are carrying
the payments, you tighten up on
other spending—to stay within
your budget.
That is common sense budget-

Everybody talks about economy.
But, in polities, most candidates
don’t get specific.
Walter Jenkins—the candidate
who knows the job—has a specific
plan for cutting government
spending.
Here’s his plan:
I. Give Congress control over
the Federal Budget.
Today the pursestrings on the
' taxpayers’ money are held by the
Bureau of the Budget, an Execu-
tive Agency. This agency pre-
pares the Federal Budget, decides
how much money shall be asked
for, determines what is needed,
what is not needed.
Thf director of the Bureau of
the Budget is appointed by the
President and works for and with
the President.
The result is we have a budget
the President wants, not necessar-
ily a budget the people want, ‘
Congress is closest to the peo-
ple. Congress knows what the peo-
ple want, what they need, what
they can afford to pay for in
taxes. Congress ought to establish
a staff, of its own, supervised by a
committee of Senators and Con-
gressmen, to examine every item
in the Budget—and cut out those
that aren’t needed and those that
can wait.
Under the present set-up, the
people who spend the money are
the ones who decide how much to
spend. Wo must change that. The
people who pay the bill—the tax-
payers—ought to hold the purse-
strings.
To do that, Congress must con-
trol the Budget.
II. Put cut-off dates on al]
emergency aid programs.
One great fault with present
practices is that once the United
States begins a spending program
on an emergency basis, the “emer-
gency” seems to become perma-
Thompson PTA Has
Special Meeting
A special meeting of the Thomp-
son Parent-Teachers Association
was held on Tuesday morning in
the school auditorium in the inter-
est of securing an electric water
cooling fountain.
Mrs. Howard McDonald, presi-
dent, was in charge. Mrs. Dan
Grier gave the treasurer’s report.
Mrs. Henry Culpepper, vice presi-
dent, read the recommendation
made in a special executive meet-
ing held on Sept. 3 to install this
fountain. The recommendation
was accepted and it was voted
unamiously to have the securing
and installation of this water
fountain as the project for the
coming year 1951-52.
Mrs. McDonald appointed a
committee consisting of Mesdames
Henry Culpepper, Homer Fish and
Harold Marsh to handle the de-
tails.
The meeting was adjourned af-
ter an announcement was made
that the first regular meeting will
be held on Sept. 20 at 3 p. m. as
an informal tea honoring the fac-
ulty. Arrangements for the tea
will be under the direction of Mrs.
Arthur Cambron, hospitality chair-
man. Each mother is urged i- at-
tend.

data on all smsrgsncy spending.
in. Provide incentive* for Fed-
eral employees to ent spending.
At present, it is standard prac-
tice in Washington for all Federal
agencies to spend every cent of
the money appropriated by Con-
gress. It’a a rare agency that
turns up with a surplus at the end
of the fiscal year. The tradition of
free spending is deep rooted.
Substantial savings could be
■ realized if Federal employees
H were given bonuses—as private
■ employees in industry often are—
■ for any action, recommendation, or
■^decision that resulted in a saving.
H ' Federal employees are now re-
■ warded solely on the Jbasis of sen-
■ iority. This bonus for economy
■, would give them real, incentive for
saving. No one can save more,
more quickly, than the people who I' •
spend the money.
♦ ♦ ♦
, The road back to a balanced
-spending program—where the
Federal outgo matches the Fed-
eral income—is a long, hard one.
Spending is- azhabit, not easily
cured.
The meat-axe approach will not
succeed. You may cut off some
program that is unpopular, but,
for every dollar saved that way,
another dollar will be spent in
increased appropriations for so-
called “popular programs.”
We.have got to save money, not
only onxwhat we spend abroad, but
on what we spend on ourselves
here at home. We must save
money on operations, save money
on administration, save money
by increased efficiency.
This requires thoughtful, pains-
taking, tireless endeavor on the
part of your Congressman—to do
the job right, your Congressman
needs to know the job.
