IN CLOSING In case many of you are wondering why there has been no columns in the recent issues, the reason was there have been no phone calls. The future of this column depends on the residents of Lilymoor and Lakemoor. If more calls do not start and continue to come then this column will die a slow and painful death. So its future depends on you. PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this column as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community. Our only request is that writers limit themselves to 300 words or less - signature, full ad­ dress and phone number. We ask too, that one in­ dividual not write on the same subject more than once each month. We reserve the right to delete any material which we consider libelous or in objectional taste.) RTA OPPOSITION "Gentlemen: "I have several reasons why I think RTA legislation is unfair to people in outlying county ai<;as including the suburban areas of Cook county. I will enumerate some of them only in order to be brief. "No. 1 - RTA was created as a solution to the financial woes of the Chicago Transit Authority. "No 2 - It guarantees that two-thirds of the taxes collected in a county would remain in that county to buy trains and buses. Why not all of it? We would be able to do one-third more for ourselves if we were allowed to keep all that we collect. "No. 3 - The bus routes suggested by RTA supporters that 'could' be provided, would be remote to most people in all suburban areas of the six counties and could only be reached by car or some other form of private transportation, causing many people to park in unprotected locations making their cars susceptible to van­ dalism and theft. Also, if and when such service did become available, the number of units would be limited. "No. 4 - Fares on the Nor­ thwestern railroad are already high and benefit from stabilization. Too, there is speculation by authoritative people that the Northwestern would get no help from RTA because they are making a profit now. So any relief for Northwestern riders is highly improbable. "No. 5 - Reference to gas shortages and rationing by RTA supporters are scare tactics. If people cannot or do not drive because of a gas shortage and the taxes placed on shopping plaza parking lots, then RTA is going to be in trouble because they will be vitally dependent on the taxes they would gain from these sources. "No. 6 - If RTA becomes a reality, total taxes on a gallon of gasoline which are now about 26.4 percent will rise to 31.4 percent with the proposed parking taxes adding even more to that percentage and there will be more rising taxes ahead. The increase in salaries for CTA employees which supporters are trying to put off pending RTA approval by the voters, and whatever expense is left over and above the federal grant for the dismantling of the "L" structures and building new subway tunnels in Chicago which Mayor Daley inad­ vertantly sounded off about until he was advised that it was indiscreet to mention this prior to the March 19 referendum, will all become the obligation of every taxpayer in the six county area. "No. 7 - Get out and vote NO on March 19 against this new layer of government which, if approved, will have unlimited taxing powers, will be authorized to float bond issues without referendum and whose jurisdiction of their operation will supercede that of all local governments in the six county area. "Harry F. Breen "Wonder Lake" I PAUL MASSON PAUL MASSON BRANDY DUAL SYSTEMS "Dear Editor: "Now that we're being subjected to Catholicisms caterwauling and prof erred prehensile hand into the public's purse once again...- time is now...to erect a wall of resistance and repair...to our wall of separation between church and state! "For Wm. J. Buckley, Jr., that staunch Catholic, now proposes a constitutional amendment that will be the wedge for parochial aid. "I'm adroit at speaking for myself...but have the quirk of (I Thess. 5:21) Proving all things. . . Now winnow what you will. "And first of all, Education belongs preeminently to the Church: by reason of a double title in the supernatural or­ der,., confer red exclusively upon her by God Himself: . . absolutely superior therefore to any other title in the natural order. The Church is in­ dependent of any sort of earthly power.. as well in the origin,.. as in the exercise of her mission as educator, not merely in regard to her proper end and object, . . but also in regard to the means necessary and suitable to attain that end every form of instruction, no less than every human action, as a necessary connection with man's end, and therefore cannot be withdrawn from the dictates of the Divine Law, of which the Church is Guardian Interpreter and Infallible Mistress,.. It is the duty of the state to protect in its legislation, . . the prior rights already described, . . of the family as regards the Christian education of its offspring, . . and consequently also to respect the supernatural rights of the Church in this same realm of Christian Education. "Pius XI, Five Encyclicals, ppgs. 40-41, 48. "So, I think. . It's judicious and propitious to remonstrate: 'Once bitten, . . twice wary'. "Insincerity, "Evelyn Gustafson "7111N. Oak Street "Wonder Lake" THE LANGE CASE "Editor: "As a concerned citizen I wish I had the ability to organize a Citizens for Duane Lange committee to combat City Hall. I am not a resident of the city of McHenry in that I live in the boon docks, but I do feel that when a man is found innocent of charges he should not be removed from his duties to prevent departmental problems. How can a depart­ ment allow itself to get in the position McHenry did by permitting one officer to persecute another, I do mean persecute. "Many of the officers, not on trial, have committed the same acts as Officer Lange but they cannot come forward as their positions, too, would be in jeopardy. I believe the officer that brought charges against Officer Lange can no more afford the legal fee than can Officer Lange. I only hope that when his turn comes he remembers his unjust action.
