But after a year or two it is expected that the cost may rise to $5 billion or more. The "poverty package" is "considered an urgeht matter by the Administration because poverty is said to plague 20 per cent of our population (measuring poverty on the basis of families having an annual income of $3,000 or less). No! special study has been made of 1 the scope or degree of such poverty. The estimates are largely guesswork. Yet, we are told that a far-reaching federal program is mandatory. What the "poverty package" fails to include is any real awareness of the philosophy of j government under which we j operate. Jobs don't develop | from government programs j (except for those of the bureau- j crats who administer such pro- ! grams). Jobs are created by ! new businesses and industries; i by investments in new .plants and equipment; by the development of improved products and expanded markets. Two sections of the bill give superficial recognition to our "free enterprise" economy. Title III provides small loans to farmers for equipment or for non-agricultural enterprises. Title IV grants to business where long-term unemployed persons are to be benefited. But what , about the existing Small Business administration whose function it is to provide loans for marginal investments in farm and business equipment? And how many responsible employers will want to stake the success of their businesses in plants operated by employees who have been least successful in holding down previous job:;? Under Title IV a business merits" a loan of $10,000 for each new job it provides. Why not instead give employers a tax credit of $500.(5 per cent of $10,000) for each new job added during the year? This would save millions of dollars in appropriations, avoid the creation of a new federal bureau and result in additional permanent jobs. The main excuse given earlier this year for the federal tax reduction was to encourage consumer buying, thus creating a need for new jobs to absorb the four million unemployed. The "poverty package" appears to be an admission that --at least in terms of jobs--the tax cut and planned deficit theories of 1963 are not even worth a trial. It is rather strange, moreover, that the "poverty package," \vith its lip service to private enterprise and our traditional federal system, all but ignores the private economy as well as our state and local governments. The Administration has remained noticeably quiet about other federal programs already in effect. Such programs and their annual cost include: the Food Stamp Plan, $51 million; Vocational Rehabilitation grants, $100 million; Student Loan program, $135 million; Vocational Education acts, $190 million; Public Works Acceleration, $214 million; Area Redevelopment Administration, $222 million; Indian education/ REPUBLICAN CLUB WELCOMES WELL KNOWN LEADER Members and guests of the McHenry Township Republican Women's club, on Tuesday, May 19, will welcome as their guest Mrs. Phyllis Schafly, President of the Illinois Federation of Republican Women.

This was earned by the club as a result of programming, membership and several ,other categories on which clubs applying for awards are judged.
