Defense Without Penalty
Common sense and common justice dictate that
defending its right to stay in business is a legitimate
expense for any enterprise. But the Internal Reve-
nue Service has ruled that the cost of institutional
advertising which might influence legislation is not
deductible as operating expense.
Legislative measures have been introduced in
Congress which would correct this situation, and
would allow as deductible expense, money spent
supporting or opposing legislation, which would
affect the business of an individual or company.
During its recent annual convention the Mon-
tana Press Association adopted a resolution to
. . inform the congressmen and senators of Mon-
tana we would appreciate their support of the Boggs
Bill which deals with the Internal Revenue’s mis-
taken views, which the Resolutions Committee feels
constitutes censorship by taxation, thus hindering
business from expressing its views on proposed
legislation.”
Although the ruling applies to all businesses,
investor-owned private electric utilities, which have
been the main target of socialization advocates find
themselves in an especially vulnerable position.
Government-owned power projects can beat the
drums for socialism with no penalty attached be-
cause they are exempt from Federal income taxes.
Private power companies, on the other hand, are
penalized by taxation for every dollar they spend in
combating efforts which would ultimately put them
out of business, and in the process, take a long step
toward destroying the free economic system, on
which the opportunity and freedom of every last
one of us depends.
It’s time to even the odds and the Montana
Press Association and others taking such action
should be congratulated. Let’s give back to private
citizens the right to defend without tax penalty, the
foundation under our house of freedom.
Are You Disfranchised!
Will you disfranchise yourself?
Millions upon millions of Americans do that,
in effect, each election year. They do it by failing
to vote. They’re too lazy, too indifferent, or “too
busy” to spend the brief time and effort it takes
to go to the polling booth.
The result is that people are elected to office,
and often the highest offices, by what amounts to
minority vote.
We all pay lip service to the right of free
franchise.' And that’s as it should be—it is the
greatest single defense we have against dictatorship
and political oppression. But it is meaningless un-
less the words are matched with deeds.
The future of freedom depends on men and
women who will analyze candidates and platforms,
choose those they think best capable of guiding the
nation’s destinies in the stormy days that lie ahead
—and vote accordingly.

“Best in the long run” is a good slogan except
for the makers of women’s hosiery.

One great trouble with living too fast is that
it may lead to having to fast to live.

When the life aim is happiness, just don’t
aim too high.

IT OCCURS TO ME
CC-COMMISSION
COOPERATION PRAISED
By LIN MILLS
Taylor Press News Editor
JOHN SMITH, president told
his Chamber of Commerce di-
rectors this week he was en-
couraged at the way the city
commission is cooperating with
the C of C.
He had specific reference to
the city’s OK on the trial plan
for free parking on Saturday
afternoons.
But he also mentioned the
city’s approval of right of way
agreements with the highway
department on the construction
of the proposed redevelopment
of U.S. 79 east.
THE RECENT Taylor Press
picture of Joe Stiborik taken at
the VFW convention here is re-
produced in the latest issue of
“Texas V.F.W. News” circulat-
ed throughout Texas.
Stiborik, a member of the
crew of the Enola Gay, first nu-
clear bomber at Hiroshima,
was made Aide de Camp to the
Commander-in-chief, you recall.
He’s pictured with Sen. Ralph
Yarborough and other VFW of-
ficials.
I HEAR RUMORS that Tay-
lor is going back to work today
. . . right after the last world
series game.
I’m probably exaggerating.
Working people probably don’t
goof off much during the world
series. How could they, with
their bosses having first pri-
ority?
Seriously, it never ceases to
amaze me at how much interest
the series generates, in this
country and around the world.
It’s wonderful that we can fo-
cus our attention on baseball
long enough to forget about
Khrushchev for a while.
And speaking of that so-and-
so, I’m glad he was here dur-
ing the world series. Just hope
he was impressed with the
magnitude of these baseball
games. He should have gotten
the idea that Americans that
are interested in baseball could
hardly be called imperialists.
HOW? IS RIGHT. The oldest
man in the small community,
always something of a prude,
was addressing the local Boy
Scouts. After a long speech
about honesty, decency, etc.,
etc., he said:
“Boys let me tell you this. I
have never taken a drink. I
have never smoked a cigaret.
I have never gone to bed after
10 p.m. I have never looked at
another woman but my wife.
And you know what? Tomorrow
I’ll celebrate my 87th birthday.”
There was a pause, then a
voice from the back asked:
“flow?”
REJECTION. “Father doesn’t
approve of my seeing you,” the
pretty young lady told her cur-
rent boy friend, “so I’m afraid
we won’t be able to see each
other any more.”
“But- on what grounds does
your father object to me?” the
young man asked.
“Well frankly,” the girl re-
plied, “on any grounds within
a mile of our house.”
THAT’S TELLING ’EM.
Everyone is familiar with the
dull and deadly legal documents
that lawyers write when collect-
ing bills, giving notices and
induging in routine legal mat-
ters.
A lawyer in India, however,
has broken through the barrier
and recently wrote the follow-
ing letter for his client:
“Dear Sir: Unless you ‘ pay
the 1,000 rupees that you owe
to Mr.--within seven
days of this date, we shall take
such steps as will cause you
the utmost damned astonish-
ment.”

Senate watchdog committee for
the TV networks which hasn’t
done much watching lately should
take a look at the way the Ameri-
can Broadcasting Co. carried the
statement of Congress Adam
Clayton Pov/ell that he was com-
ing out for Kennedy and Johnson.
The Negro congressman from
Harlem announced with consider-
able whoop] a from the White
House steps in 1956 that he was
for Ike and Nixon. So the fact
that he was officially for Ken-
nedy and Johnson this time was
national news. Especially news-
worthy was the manner in which
Powell phrased the announcement,
because the congressman is the
pastor of the largest Baptist
church in the world, the Abyssin-
ian Baptist Church of Harlem,
and the southern Baptists have
been among the leaders in attack-
ing Kennedy’s religion.
When Congressman Powell held
a televised press conference
therefore and announced that the
“bigots of the south have turned
in their white robes tor minister-
ial garb,” it was picked up by
the ABC news staff in Washing-
ton as headline news and carried
via the network on the regular 6
p.m. newscast.
Following this a taped record-
ing of Congressman Powell’s news
statement was carried by ABC
at its regular newscasts at 6:15
and 6:30, just as his 1956 state-
ment for Ike and Nixon had also
been carried.
John Daly is vice president in
charge of news for ABC and a
great rooter for Vice President
Nixon. He had a news show at
and since the tape on Congress-
man Powell was fed to him auto-
matically from Washington, it was
used on his 6:30 show. He had
not had time to review it first.
However, after 6:30 it was a
different matter. Daly promptly
expressed disapproval of Con-
gressman Powell’s remarks in
support of Kennedy-Johnson and
sent word to the ABC news staff
in Washington to break up the
tape hitherto fed the network
from Washington and to censor
the Powell statement.
Mr. Daly’s word on news is
law. So Congressman Powell’s re-
marks were promptly eliminated
from the ABC network. Possibly
more important, the effect on the
news staff is to do a little volun-
tary censoring. Knowing now that
Daly doesn’t like news deteri-
mental to his friend Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, the news staff tends
to save itself trouble by not feed-
ing him this kind of news in the
future.
Note—Executives of the ABC
network were financial contribu-
tors to the Eisenhower - Nixon
campaign in 1956.
Hate List
Two men are now at the top of
President Eisenhower’s hate list,
whereas there used to be one.
The old member, as everyone
knows, is Harry Truman. The
President has hated Truman
with a passion, ever since Tru-
man pointed to Eisenhower in a
speech in San Francisco in 1952
as commander-in-chief in Europe
who had been responsible for
letting Berlin get encircled by
Communist territory.
Truman and Eisenhower once
had been old friends, but after
that speech Ike refused to get out
of the car in front of the White
House on Inauguration Day to go
inside and greet Truman, then
retiring as President. Ike long
refused to invite Truman to the
White House and even refused to
see the ex-President in Kansas
City, when Truman called up and
wanted to pay a courtesy call.
But now, those conferring with
the President find that Truman
has a rival—-Nikita Khrushchev.
The two men left the Camp
David talks a year ago apparently
quite good friends. There was
even a glow of warmth in the
President’s voice when he talked
to advisers about Mr. K. after
Camp David. But since Khrush-
chev disinvited Ike to go to Rus-
sia and since the humiliation at
Paris it has been a different story.
Ike has been unalterably irrevo-
cably down on his old friend of
Camp David.
He will simply have nothing to
do with “that guy,” as he calls
Khrushchev.
When Prime Minister Macmil-
lan flew from London to try to
get the UN Assembly back on
the track for peace, he confer-
red especially with Prime Minis-
ter Nehru of India and President
Nkrumah of Ghana who had pro-
posed that Eisenhower and Khru
shchev meet. He found them dead
ly serious in their belief that the
only thing that could ease world
tensions was a face-to-face talk
between the two leaders of the
world’s chief rivals. He also
found them and other leading neu-
trals fearful that Red China would.
attack the island of Formosa all-
out right after the U.S. elections,
and that this might touch off
World War III.
However, Macmillan did not
carry out the neutral’s advice.
He did not even suggest to Eisen-
hower that he sit down and talk
with Khrushchev.
Macmillan did emphasize to Ei-
senhower his belief that the neu-
trals were becoming more and
more important, that they now
held the balance of power in the
UN, but he carefully avoided tell-
ing Ike: “You should sit down
with Khrushchev.”
Working for “Little Man”
Some Congressmen bow out of
the halls of legislative turbulence,
unmissed, unmourned, not even
mentioned. But as Gordon Can-
field, long-time Republican con-
gressman from New Jersey, re-
tired from the House of Repre-
sentatives this year there was
genuine regret on the part of both
Republicans and Democrats.
Congressman Canfield is best
known as father of the Coast
Guard Reserve and author of the
amendment that enables nar-
cotics Commissioner Harry Ans-
linger to send special agents
abroad to break up mafia, nar-
cotics shipments to the United
States.
Less publicized, but possibly
more important, Canfield spent
his years in Congress working for
the little man. Once a Democrat
who ran against him in northern
New Jersey hurled the derisive
accusation, “All Canfield thinks
about is the little man.”
So when it became known that
Congressman Canfield, weary of
the sometimes futile bickering in
the “monkey house” on Capitol
Hill, was going to retire, thous-
ands of men, both big and little,
turned out in Paterson, N. J., to
express belated appreciation.
