y f Party Koles Anybody who makes a flat- out prediction that Jimmy Carter - after less than ten months in office - is going to be a one-term president either has a very good crystal ball or premature judgment. Probably the latter. Just the same, Mr. Carter is~* in trouble on nearly all fronts. r^In fact, be has yet to get a jungle legislative initiative through Congress in anything like its original form. What's the cause? Poor c o m m u n i c a t i o n s w i t h Congress? Partly. Inex­ perience? Partly. Stubborness? Partly. Inconsistency? Partly. But there is also a strain of negativism that runs through many of the Carter initiatives, and it may hand the Republicans their ^best op­ portunity in years. In fact, the parties seem to be in the early stages of role reversal. For as long as many of' them can remember, Republicans have been "aginners," and negativism doesn't win elections. Historically, the party of op­ timism has taken the high ground in American politics. From just after the Civil war until early in this century, the Republicans were the party of growth, expansion, progress. They were, again, in the '20s when America waxed prosperous. But, after the stock market debacle of 1929 and a Republican administration's miscalculation of how to deal with it, it was the Democrats who took over not only the rhetoric of optimism but the policies of it as well. The Message Their message was that we would tax and spend our way back to prosperity (with a boost from World War II), and it continued on into the '60s. We would get the country moving again. We would close the missile gap, land on the moon, win the war on poverty. But the liberal wing of the Democratic party has been growing in influence (if not in numbers) and has been trying to put the optimism genie back in the bottle since at least the days of George McGovern's candidacy. Its message is: lower your expectations from life; smaller is better; wind down the economy; stop growing; withdraw from in- - ternational commitments; retreat from the challenges of communism (life isn't worth the hassle); spend less on defense, don't have children: Easy Access For easy access in the kitchen, alphabetize spices on a storage turntable and store canned goods together according to category of food group.

Ass't Secretary and Public Relations Chairman Old Chicago Bus Trip For Church Student don't produce energy and don't use it either; and, if anything goes wrong pass a bill requiring that it be fixed - at someone else's expense. This glaqmy view of life finds expression\in tax "reform," too/ There is the perpetual search for mythical loopholes and the vindictive rhetoric that a c c o m p a n i e s i n c o m e redistribution schemes. This is sometimes called "populism" (which is another word for ignorance) and it is reflected in the negativism of the Carter tax "reform" package now being readied. The Biggest 'Loophole' Its unfavorable treatment of capital gains, for example, would discourage capital formation which is needed to create jobs. And, it would play havoc with the biggest "loophole" of all - deduction of home mortgage interest (on which the middle class relies). By comparison, the Republicans (and some congressional Democrats) are pushing the Kemp-Roth tax reduction act of 1977. This would give permanent across- the-board tax cuts - averaging nearly one-third - to every worker over a three-year period. Corporate taxes would go down, too, especially on small business profits. All this spells i-n-c-e-n-t-i-v-e and not the shopworn tactic of "stimulation" created by temporary tax cuts. The last president to put through hefty permanent tax cuts was John F. Kennedy. His cuts ended up bringing the treasury more, not less, revenue. He was simply taking a leaf from the book of two Republican presidents, Harding and Coolidge, whose tax cuts had the same result. The Republicans are on the right track with the Kemp-Roth plan. It speaks the language of incentives, optimism and Continued growth (the only way America's ,:haves" got to where they are). If the GOP can drive that message home by November next year, the role reversal may be complete and Carter and the Democrats will be stuck explaining why they are "aginners." Tr - ' f* it "MEANWHILE BACK AT THE COURTHOUSE" Kristin Stuhr and Cassie York discuss a trip to Old Chicago Sunday, Nov. 10, for senior high students of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church. A bus trip to Old Chicago highlights this weekend's events for the senior high students of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 N. Green street, McHenry. Luther leaguers and their invited, guests are to meet at the \ church Sunday at 11 a.m. and x are encouraged to bring a sack lunch along with $6 for bus and admission fees. \ The Bolingbrook center features many shops and large amusement rides, an unusual setting for pre-Christmas fun. Forty students and sponsors attended the popular hayrack ride - bonfire night held recently at Chardon farms. Other recent activities of the group have included a suc- essful. paper drive in November and election of new officers. The 1978-79 slate of officers reads as follows: Cassie York, president; Terri Mai, vice-president; Linda Alton, treasurer; and Tricia Boyd, Phone committee chairperson. Sponsors for the group in­ clude Howard and Yvonne Alton, Paul and Shirley Gilbert, Lee Hartwig, Steve and Mary Peterson and Parish Worker Kristin Stuhr. Area Library Hosts Display By Artists Nippersink district library, Richmond, is hosting a display of pastel, charcoal and mixed media drawings and paintings by members of the Nippersink Art league. The show opens Friday, Nov. 18, and will be open to the public through Dec. 14. This is the second show given by the Nippersink Art leaue' (a small group of amateur artists who meet the first and third Thursdays of each month from 1 to 4 p.m. in the library). They have been meeting for three years, and in that time have learned to handle several methods of drawing. When one considers that they have no teacher - just learn from each other - it is easy to see how well they have developed their talents. Members come from Woodstock, Hebron, Richmond, Spring Grove, Wonder Lake and Lake Geneva. t The more we read the less we know; the less we think we know, the more educated we become. Some of our citizens are so organized that they haven't time to mind their own business. Model 031 AV THIS ISTHE BIGGEST SELLING UGHTWEIGHT PROFESSIONAL CHAIN SAW IN THE WORLD.
