,ftj. 6, Set. 2 - Plaindealer - Wed., Max 29, 1968 GUEST EDITORIAL From The Dixon Evening Telegraph RONALD REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT The Republicans can win the Presidency this year if they run the right man. We think Governor Ronald Reagan is that man. He could unite the Republicans and Democrats together who are fed up with crime, corruption, high taxes and glib meaningless political promises over the past 30 years. We can think of no greater remedy for our sick, sick nation {han to have a Ronald Reagan as our President and a Richard Nixon Z' as our Secretary of State. It is time and long overdue that some one in Illinois spoke up and urged that Governor Ronald Reagan should be a candidate for President of the United States. His old Home Town newspaper, The Dixon Evening Telegraph is proud to do so. Ronald Reagan is not an announced candidate but we would most certainly be disloyal and ungrateful ifwedidnot support this most fine and outstanding native son of our wonderful little town to run for the Presidency. When a young boy grows up in a small town he certainly is known by everyone in that town. "Dutch" Reagan, as he was affectionately known here in Dixon, has always been held in high esteem and admiration. There are those who say he has not had enough experience to become President. Our answer to that is that we had a bankrupt necktie salesman from Kansas City who was elected President and he made a pretty good President - in fact, better, in our opinion, than any we have had since his time. Harry Truman was not afraid to say what he thought and had the courage of his convictions. Abraham Lincoln had no experience as a President when he went in. Eisenhower had no experience when he went in as President. Try and name one who has. So lefs look at the man for what he is instead of what he has. Governor Ronald Reagan most certainly has the courage of his convictions and he is showing it as Governor of California, the largest state in our nation. A state that is approximately two to one Democratic, yet the people of California elected him overwhelmingly by over 1,000,000 plurality. This should make everyone in the nation stop and think. Governor Reagan has restored and renewed citizen confidence in California in their state government. He has made people aware of government affairs, and we must remember that he took over the leadership of a state that was almost bankrupt because of the spending of Governor Brown, the man he defeated. Governor Reagan has invoked stringent economies to save his state. He has restored action and decision. He inherited a financial mess and has skillfully met all the issues head on. He has a purpose and he doesn't duck the issues - and you say he would not make a good President? If Ronald Reagan was President we could rest assured that there would be no suicide of the constitution of the United States. The time has come when our country should unite and return at the earliest day to a safe, sound Nationalism, and Governor Reagan is the one who could most help to bring this about With two past world wars and Korea and now Vietnam it is time something shoulcfbe done. The Delegates to the Republican National Convention from the 16th Congressional District - Reagan's old home district - gave their word to the writer they would support Reagan if he was a candidate. We know our Delegates to be men of their word. Ronald Reagan has many virtues, but his greatest virtue is humility, which is part of his body and soul. Should the Native Son of Dixon and Illinois choose not to run we Would wholeheartedly support Richard Nixon for the Presidency. We think both of these men are truly great Americans. _____ .... by THoMPSoN £$HE mi£t£6r PLACE M THE WORLD, ACCOKPING TO THE OLD TESTAMENT, WAS THE TOWER OF &A&EL WHEN GOD CAUSED ALL THE PEOPLE TO 6>PEAK DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.

Illegal gambling, which is reputed to garner as much as $50 billion from the American public, levies its heaviest toll on the nation's poor. While there are many affluent citizens who can afford to indulge in such elite activities as roulette and baccarat, or an afternoon at the neighborhood bookie^ the principal victims of the syndicate-operated gambling activities are those who can least afford such luxury. In the Negro sections of every large city of America, we find a flourishing "numbers racket." This gambling system preys upon the poor and dis- Long Run Benefits "I have only real strong piece of advice about advertising, only one statement I can make with certainty: "Once you start your advertising, don't stop. Keep it up. Keep it regular." This advice is offered by an experienced and successful retailer to young merchants. The retailer was emphasizing a basic principle of advertising and selling, but one which is more often violated than observed. Each year, every community is blighted by the failure of promising new enterprises. The promise of the new enterprise is usually signalled by vigorous advertising. And just as often the failure is signalled by gradual curtailment of advertising. Two major mistakes of judgment concerning advertising are common among unsuccessful retailers. In the first place, it is often assumed that once a business is- started, it may continue to thrive without consistent advertising. This mistake is made by people who would never go to a movie, or a PTA meeting, or even to church, except for the influence of repeated advertising. The second major mistake concerns expectancy from first efforts. A sudden spurt is never a good test of advertising. Occasionally, a few advertisements may bring remarkable results. But ordinarily, repetition of efforts over an extended period is the only sound approach to selling. Thus, no firm has really tested advertising unless it has been used with constant regularity over a long period of time. The Number One Killer Excessive speed continues to reign supreme as the number one killer on America's highways. Exceeding the speed limit accounted for nearly 40 percent of the 52,200 highway fatalities in 1967. The vice monarch, reckless driving, was responsible for approximately 15 percent of the deaths. Other major factors involving actions of drivers resulting in deaths and injuries include not having the right-ofway, driving off the roadway and driving on the wrong side of the road. Almost one third of the drivers involved in fatal accidents were under 25 years of age. More than 9,500 pedestrians marched themselves to the grave in 1967. The most common causes of death «were crossing between intersections, walking on rural highways, crossing intersections against signals. This grim report has one bright corner. The total number of deaths was 300 below the number killed in 1966 and the number of injuries was down by some 200,000. The deaths of more than 52,000 people and the injury of 4,000,000 others in one year is small cause for rejoicing, even though it represents some improvement over another year. Comparisons are odious unless they afford some ultimate betterment of the human condition. Caution is urged this Memorial Day as a start toward that betterment. Charlie's Taxes Charlie Green, our representative American taxpayer, will pay : $2,200 in federal taxes for fiscal 1969, this figure including the estimated burden of indirect taxes. For this story our representative American taxpayer is married, the father of two and earning $10,000 a year. Of the $2,200 in all federal taxes that Charlie pays, the largest amount goes for national defense. This category costs him $934, or 42 percent. About One-fourth, or an estimated $614, will go to finance federal health, labor and welfare programs. Another big piece of his tax payments, $168, will go just to pay interest on the federal debt. The following table, shows where Charlie's federal taxes, and the taxes of all others paying an equal amount, go in terms of the record-breaking $186.1 billion Federal budget for 1969: National Defense $934 Health, Labor & Welfare 614* Interest 168 Veterans' Benefits & Services 86 Agriculture & Agricultural Resources 66 International Affairs & Finance 60 Education 55 Space Research & Technology 53 Commerce & Transportation 47 General Government 33 Natural Resources 29 Miscellaneous 55 TOTAL ""Includes social insurance taxes. $2,200 3B9S3SS5S Get a better job-earn more money.

From Washington advantaged with the false promise that a winning nunfiber will make the player rich and permit him to emerge from the ghetto. The proposed federal antigambling bill appears to be a modest response to charges that the Administration has been lax in moving against organized crime. In an apparent burst of action, the Department of Justice may have attempted too much. The pending bill (H.R. 16666) presupposes that interstate commerce is involved in a gambling operation in which an aggregate of $2,000 or more is waged within a two month period. Federal jurisdiction is based upon this presumption of interstate Commerce. Violations would subject participants in such a gambling business to a fine of not more than $10,000 or five years imprisonment or both. However, the bill does not require any proof of interstate communications or other interstate activities as a prerequisite for asserting federal jurisdiction. In addition, the bill would exempt all gambling operations which are lawful under state statutes such as the New York and New Hampshire lotteries and pari-mutuel betting at race tracks in various states and certain other "legal" gambling operations. The proposal contains a provision for a court to grant immunity to witnesses who turn State's evidence -- a perfectly valid means for securing information concerning membership in the crime syndicate. One may ask why the measure does not also provide for securing evidence by electronic eavesdropping or wiretapping under carefully circumscribed court authority. The President's Commission on Organized Crime recommended that our law enforcement .officials should be armed with sjciM wiretap authority in cases involving organized crime. In any event, the anti-gambling measure comes to the Congress with the blessing of the Administration and appears to meet with an enthusiastic reception on the part of most members of the House Judiciary Committee. In light of the fact that organized crime imposes its most serious burdens on the poor of America, it would seem well for the supporters of the "Poor Peoples March on Washington^ to give support to the objectives Of the proposed federal antigambling bill. Indeed, all champions of the War on Poverty should give high priority to this bill in order that the announced program of novviolence might be combined with a meaningful program of law Observance. Such legislation, would provide benefits to all of the people of America, particularly the poor people who are the principal victims dt organized crime and the" numbers racket." V. F. W.
