First, "a nonâ€"revoâ€" cable provision, one that investors would trust, that no controls would be applied to new dwelling units, and second a comprehensive plan for the removing of all contr~i~ s fast as they can be taken off : ithout causing real hardship to tenants who really could not get along with smaller or less expensive quarters. The plan might be complicated and cumbersome, but its one great virtue would be the fact that it was deâ€" signed for the eventual elimination of all rent conâ€" trols, and the hope (perhaps Utopian) that at least one government bureau might be folded up. Removal of rent controls would also inflict hardâ€" ships. In some cases the "hardship" would merely conâ€" sist of a single person being forced to give up a dwellâ€" ing of several rooms which he had been able to afford because the rental was held at an artificially low level. In other cases removal of controls would mean that some families might have to cut their food budget below the adequate mark because zooming rents took too much of their income. In the long run, the control is inflicting hardship on another classâ€"the wouldâ€"be renter. He can‘t find a place to rent because few people are willing to build rental property when they don‘t know, with at least some degree of certainty, how they may be affected by new control laws, what new laws might cover, or how much horsesence will be possessed by the persons chosen to administer the law in their area. The imposition of rent controls, of course, inâ€" flicted, at least at first, hardship on the landlords. In some cases, this "hardship" consisted merely in preâ€" venting a landlord from collecting several times as much rent as he could have otherwise. In other cases, it has meant that the landlord couldn‘t get enough out of lng property to pay for its upkeep. _ _ _ Any imposition of an artificial factor in the naâ€" tional economy, whether it be rent control or price control imposed by the government or a Product.ion control imposed either by a "big business" or a "big labor" mg:;;;ly, will inflict certain l}ardshth ips,uldf varying , on various segments of the populaâ€" tion. The relaxation or removal of such controls will, in turn, be marked by the infliction of certain hardâ€" ships, likewise of varying degree, on other segments of the population.

If the cacus devotees are now over the shock, let us proceed to have an electionâ€"a There is plenty of reason for an opposition group‘s existence and the caucus group should know it! The wonder is that there are upon some unsuspecting solid citâ€" izen. The big issues of outrageous taxes, needless and wasteful building. programs, inexcusable treatment of teachers and their needs, and many other vital matâ€" ters are completely ignored! With a peculiar kind of provinâ€" cialism, there are some who seem to view nominating procedures as a sort of tea party at which the cozy little honor of School Board membership will be conferred ._ This little group of 16â€"merely members of an unofficial organâ€" izationâ€"has for years chosen one person for each School Board vaâ€" cancy and those chosen were autoâ€" matically elected because of lack of opposition.

Why were the PTA caucus nominations made in a closed meeting? Why were none of the people suggested by those outside the caucus group chosen for nomination? If the purpose of the caucus is merely to make sure that qualified people are proposed, why couldn‘t it nominate candiâ€" dates of differing views and let the voters decide some of the vital issues now being so widely discusâ€" sed in District 1087 to be regarded by some particiâ€" pants as having specially delegated powers that it is practically treasâ€" onable to question. Really impartial voters‘ leagues, whose only interest is in the qualâ€" ifications and records of the nomâ€" inees, often endorse several canâ€" didates for the same office. But in the present case the PTA caucus is functioning as both judge and contestant in the race!"It is one thing to investigate and advise. It is quite another to sponsor candiâ€" dates and become a partisan poliâ€" tical group. When the apologists of the PTA caucus represent it as the only or the best qualified group for passâ€" ing upon the fitness of candiâ€" dates, it may begin to take over some of the powers of the voters. And when they question the proâ€" priety of another group‘s action in even proposing opposition canâ€" didates, we wonder whether we are not encountering some kind of monopoly ready to destroy oppoâ€" sition by attacking its motives.
