C!>G. 6, SEC. 2 - PLAIN DEALER - AUGUST 10, 1967 "Haggling's" Substitute There is little similarity between business today and that done by individual trading posts during the settling of American wilderness by pioneers. Hie pioneer traders and businessmen were just as interested in being financially successful as are today's retailers. The early retail merchant settled in a location which, for a while, would allow him personal freedom and a virtual monopoly on trade. Soon, however, one of two events happened: either the settlers would move to another locale and leave the merchant with few sales, or other men would set up nearby businesses to compete with him. A progressive community cannot exist long with monopoly trade, for it is impossible for one retailer to keep on hand all the various implements and goods needed by people of varied occupations. As a community became large and prosperous, other local businesses were' soon established. Most original traders were chagrined at first, but changed their minds when they saw an active, competitive market form. No longer did the trader have to stock a wide range of items, and he soon formed a specialized triads, with variety and quality within his specialty. True free enterprise was established only after the trader had competition locally. And the early settlers were well-known conservative spenders and "hagglers." Modern trade still serves the "hagglers.*' Shoppers go miles out of their way for a better deal which they learn about through advertising. Advertising is, in fact, the modern substitute for "haggling." It is far more efficient and more pleasant as a method of establishing fair prices than squabbling with a monopoly merchant. For An Open Primary (Guest editorial from Dixon Evening Telegraph) The Republican Party in Illinois had better profit by others' mistakes or it might not live long enough to make them all itself. the laws of the State of Illinois provide for selection of party nominees for state offices by the direct primary system. Selection of candidates by the direct primary is the rule in most other states. A number of states, including New York, which heretofore have been legally bound to hold party nominating conventions, have abandoned the plan because it has created bitterness and problems which have plagued both parties. The direct primary law was adopted to take control of government from the smoke filled rooms and from a handful of political bosses and to place that control, instead, in the hands of the people of the State of Illinois. At this very moment certain political leaders headed fay Skinny Taylor are attempting to put over a scheme which would put the selection of Republican nominees for state offices next year in the hands of a so-called rigged convention. Taylor is president of the state county chairmen's association »nd some who are associated with the effort are state central committeemen. Their activities could wreck our party's search far unity. We know who these people are. This scheme is being peddled, particularly to down stateas a move for harmony. It is suggested that Downstate Illinois will benefit from holding such a convention at the expense of Cook county. The only beneficiaries of this "closed conference" would be a few wheelers and dealers who are attempting to set themselves ig> as king makers. The political records of most of these advocates of a "rigged convention" are nothing to write home about and they have not distinguished themselves as political seers. In fact, there are a few of them that we would dare to suggest if you could put their brains in a Jay Hawk we are if you could put their brains in a Jay Hawk we are sure it would sure it would fly backwards. A free and open primary gives the people in Illinois the right to select their choice of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General and Auditor. It will encourage more interest on the part of voters and would give the nomination to the strongest candidate. This is essential to victory and we must, for party unity, blend the strength of Cook county and Downstate Illinois. This newspaper has been for open primaries and the people's right to their voice in selection ever since the Republican party was' founded, and we will fight for the plain people's right as long as we live. i SEND COUPON BELOW FOR FREE COLOR BROCHURE H O L I D A Y in the family fun Wisconsin DURING YOUR VISIT cruise the lush scenic splendor of "Dells Country."

But it is high time such business experts began to expose the "sacred cows" (called state colleges) which the oppressed taxpayers have "wet nursed" too long already! CASE D-526: Joe T., aged 45, is an able state senator. "Dr. Crane," he began, "the worst lobbying grotq> we confront is the small band of presidents of our state colleges. "For if we suggest that they apply a little efficiency engineering to college operations, they act horrified, as if we have attacked motherhood and God! Government Revenue According to most recently available figures, almost 35 percent of all general revenue of all local governments came from the states. In total, this state money amounted to $14 billion out of the $47.5 billion total local government revenue in fiscal 1985. Illinois local governments received 20.6 percent of their general revenue from the state, receiving $521.3 million of the total of $2,528.0 in that year. However, the amount of state revenue afforded local governments varied widely on a percentage basis. It ranged from 51.0 percent in Delaware down to 9.4 percent in New Hampshire. Was It Sudden?

"For example, the president of one such college recently went on TV to browbeat us legislators. "He read a supposed letter from one of his faculty who was ostensibly resigning because of a better offer from an Eastern college. "And this young professor proudly gloated that he would also have smaller classes and fewer students to handle! "Dr. Crane, aren't educators supposed to be dedicated men who wishto inspire MOREyoutig people, instead of less? "Wouldn't it be equally presumptious for a clergyman to want FEWER conversions and SMALLER congregations? "Our state colleges have been nursemaided long enough by the oppressed taxpayers. "That's especially true since they already have their vast campuses, gigantic football stadiums, plus elaborate classrooms and dormitories. "And they are tax-exempt, so why can't they stand on their own feet henceforth, like the dozens of private and church colleges in our own state?" COLLEGE WET NURSES Taxpayers have too long had to "wet nurse" their state colleges! If those schools would employ a little of the business efficiency typical of American industry, they could operate henceforth without a single penny of taxes! And Pm not exaggerating, for they could easily schedule a 4 p.m. second educational shift ( or even a midnight third shift), thus using the same classrooms and science halls! Besides, the extra tuition from those second and third shifts would amply pay increased faculty salaries, plus i^keep and all overhead! When a factory wishes to produce double or triple its output to help in the war effort, it doesn't demand double floraspace, but simply adds a second or even a third shift! Besides, the state colleges are unAmerican in competing with the private colleges via legislative "wet nursing." And it is grossly unfair for them to undercut the private colleges regarding tuition. Furthermore, thousands of shrewd Eastern youth are now taking advantage of the lower tuition levied by state colleges in the South and West. So they flock to these state cjolleges, where the local taxpayers must then make up an average of over $1,000 per year to finance the cheaper Twice Told Tales Forty Years Ago (Taken from the files of Aug. 11,1927) A collision of boats occurred on the Fox Riyer when the motor boat of Math J.

Yoder, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, has said that "when Gov. Otto Kerner signed Senate Bill 516, which requires the fluoridation of all public water si$plies in the state, it marked one of the most important steps in the health history of Illinois. The fluoridation of public water supplies is the most important preventive health measure inaugurated since general acceptance of immunization against diseases," Dr. Yoder added. "The people of the state will receive immeasurable benefits from fluoridation, which has been shown to reduce dental cavities in children by almost two thirds. Fluoridation will also provide health benefits to the teeth and bones of an entire population." Mi. Kilmanjaro, Africa, is one of the world's most useful mountains--it reaches up and catches moisture from the clouds, and brings it down onto the surrounding arid regions, and thus supports the forests, grasslands, and the millions of grazing animals that frequent that area. CD ldcm en• r~inrini in P*ofE>v education of these astute Eastern youth, who are bargain hunters regarding tuition! Free education is a late luxury in mankind's 100,000 years on this planet! George Washington, Jefferson and our other astute Founding Fathers never had even free grammar schooling! Many economists figure free schools are the "cake" in a lush era that is fast disappearing, so we may soon have to cut back to "bread." Meaning what? That even public grammar schools may ulimately need to charge tuition, at least after the sixth grade!
