Taut Advisor) 1 spent, a veigr profitable day in OHeago last Thursday. It was a day I wished hundreds of people in McHenry county could have spent. Every time I go iomewhere Uke that I get the idea I must do '•^ter, I must learn more. I uess I get Inspired. In my small wey, I'd like to tell you what I heard. Do you always read this stuff so it's worth while going ahead? As a guest of Frank Green of tile First National Bank of Woodstock, I was present at the luncheon at the Sherman hotel, which was part of the state Chamber of Commerce annual convention. tfkAlIen Kline, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, who incidentally should be our next president of the U.S., gave a real talk. He said we are short of man power in this country, we could use more production and the only way we can possibly win in a cold or hot war with Russia is to out-produce them. Further inflation will hamper '* our production tremendously. 8[ice controls, rationing and *11 e red tape involved proved that such government regulations had ot effect on controlling inflation. Kline's recommendations in light of. these facts art- to put every > man to work producting all he can with the best available technical "know how" in a free economy. He. says if controls are set up it,'will take a whole army of men out of production to make tople follow the rules and give em the tools to follow the rules with. Russia has t}»e handicap of controls, why load ourselves down with the same thing if we want to win. I think that makes sense, don't , frOu? I heard state Senator Arthur J. Bidweil of River Forest say something about local support of our *ipte£ted representatives. He said on4 day he was invited to meet with the executive legislative committee of a local industry last year. Pe came in where about fifteen men were seated and was introduced aronnd. Then the chairman got up «.nd gave a fifteen minute tirade about politicians and what louses they were. After that-' was over he asked the man /^ow many of his representatives the state and national government ^he could name. He could name. none nor £ohId finy one of the other fourteen men name any, except one who had heard one name because a ward* healer had asked him to vote for the man. Charles Clabaugh, state representative of Champaign, said one day he got a letter from a town's Chamber of Commerce secretary eoing into great length on taxes ^Betting too high. The next week he got a letter from a member of the school board in the same town asking for his support in further state aid for schools. The signature was that of the same man. He folded both up and sent them back to him and suggested he make up his mind. , Other people have problems too, even though it isn't the price of milk. Some one there said, "Bad public servants are elected by good people who fail to vote." There were about 40,000 people in Kane county last year who failed to vote--enough to swing the state election. McHenry county record; for the past three primary elections is heartening though. In 1946, there were 969 Democratic votes and 8,131 Republican, a total of 9,100; in 1948 there were 637 Democratic and 6,146 Republican, a total of 6.7S3: and in 1950 there were 2,136 Democratic votes and 10,018 Republican. Our state government cost $8 per person in 1900 and $57 per person in 1949. The population has doubled and the state employees trebled in that same time, however, the people demand many more costly services.

ATTACK AGAINST TRAFFIC DEATHS BY Illinois' 1960 traffic counter at* tack was launched this past week. Governor Adlai E. Stevenson announced that substantial increase in traffic deaths and injuries in the state have made it necessary to intensify traffic law enforcement. This will be done through more rigid enforcement of traffic laws by state, county and municipal police and stricter handling of traffic violators by traffic courts. In. his statement launching the counter attack on Illinois' dangerous drivers, Governor Stevenson THX XtUftT MJUHDEALEl * :a . i SC V' » - ' - K.C. mm called the state's 11 per cent inless employees now than there ' crease in traffic deaths^ not only were two years ago. Rune Stipes, Champaign, president of the state Chamber of Commerce, in speaking on the supervisor of assessments law, said in Champaign county, f4,«00,000 ia real estate had been addeVto tax rolls. Much of thl# was houses over two years old. Farmers had been paying taxes on the same car valued in one township at $650 and across the road $200. Hogs varied from $3 to $15. The county treasurer is supervisor of assessments, but has not done the job in most counties. Stipes said. Dr. Ralph Campbell, in speaking about Britain's socialized medicine the British certainly must have cast iron bellies to drink all the free medicine they have consumed since July 5. 1948, when the program was put into effect. He says that if a doctor goes along with the program ^e is assigned about 4,000 people, for which he gets $2.40 each per year. In his three hours office time he would take care of twenty patients and the rest of the day he would make about twenty house visits. There is a $1 per week withholding tax on workers to pay the bill. With an average of five per family, the worker pays $52 per year and the doctor gets $12 of this. Expensive insurance. For false teeth it takes three months to get an appointment, one year and three months for glasses, a year to wait for major surgery, and six months to get into the hospital. a threat to the life of all who use the highways, but a blight on the morals of our times". He promised redoubled efforts by state police and other state agencies in meeting the challenger. Letters have gone to mayors, chiefs of police, sheriffs, constables and traffic court judges asking them to take the initiative in curbing dangerous driving practices wherever posslbftj The letters point out that most of the deaths and injuries are occurring in rural areas and smaller municipalities. The statement said: "Most of the deaths have resulted from callous and irresponsible actions by drivers who shonld--and who do--know better. It is our responsibility to apprehend such drivers and through court action remove them from our highways." The state Department of Public Safety reports 1.049 traffic deaths through July 1950, compared with a total t)f 949 for the same period last year. ^Statisticians estimate, in addition to the 1,049 deaths, 40.- 000 injuries and $68,185,000 economic IOSB from Illinois traffic crashes so far this year. We don't have to put up with this slaughter," Governor Stevenson said. "The public officials of Illinois, in cooperation with the officials of our cities, are taking action now. We are confident ot the full support of our citizens. Christ the King church in Wonder Lake. In these times, when we "are standing at the brink of a third World War, none of us should hesitate to make a little extra sacrifice to ask God's help.

PROPOSE AID INCREASE An increase in state aid to Illinois public schools from $100,419,- 000, the present two-year appropriation,, to $124,000,000 for 1951- 5.1 .has been fecommended by the trucks, tractors and trailers. Illinois School problems Commission. The 66th General Assembly, acting on the request of Governor Adlai E. Stevenson, established the commission to study school financing. The commission set up as an ultimate goal the attainment of a "foundation" educational program which is said is higher than about one fourth of the school children of Illinois are now getting. The $20^000,000 increase in school fund appropriations would not be enough 4b pay the whole cost of the suggested program, but would be "a satisfactory step in that direction," according to the commission's report. .
