Yet, remember if you will, at the same time we are obtaining an equal amount of federal money, free of any interest costs. Therefore, in effect, we the paying nothing in the way of interest as one will offset the other. The whole fifty million dollars will be used to build and improve some thirty-four million dollars of primary roads and bridges, six million dollars of secondary state highways and ten million dollars will be used in cities through which our roads pass.
The Farm-to-market road program is not affected in any way by this bond 1 issue. Farm-tomarket road money comes from an entirely separate gasoline tax. I placed at the head of the Highway Department Mr, Guerry Pruett, an outstanding career engineer. Mr. Pruett, I believe, has the utmost confidence of everyone who has had dealings with him.
This is the best way I have of telling you the money will be wisely expended. Our primary and secondary road system as well as those through the cities have been sadly neglected. There is no motorist, whether he lives in the cities or in the rural districts, who does not use these roads. As you know, the Legislature passed this Bond Issue by 32 to 0 in the Senate, and 92 to 0 in the House. The passage of this legislation, with no dissenting votes, something unknown in Alabama's legislative history and reflects, I believe, the thinking of the Legislature that the bond issue is needed by our people.
You will, I hope, pardon this lengthy letter. However, I have to give you the answers to different questions which might have arisen in your mind as to the desirability of the Road Issue. We intend to conduct an aggressive campaign, headed by Representative Karl C. Harrison of Shelby County, as we believe it to be to the best interest of the State that it be passed. However, if I have overlooked any point, will you please feel free to write me.
Although this is a personal letter to you, it goes without saying that you may use it in any manner which you desire. With kindest regards, I am Very sincerely, Gordon Persons. STATE OF ALABAMA of which can be used to retire the Executive Department new issue. Montgomery, Ala. Of course, we would have to October 22, 1951 Mr.
P. W. Campbell, Publisher The Progressive age Scottsboro, Ala. Dear Mr. Campbell: On December 11th, the people will vote on a number of amendments.
Among these is No. 1, which is 25 Million Dollar Road Bond Issue. Frankly, I hope we can count on the support of you and your papers. In the final analysis we believe the decision is quite simple. want roads and we need roads.
Automobiles, are increasing at about fifty thousand year and this means wider roads, safer roads and more roads. Many of our highway accidents can be traced directly to narrow and curved roads. At the same time, it must be remembered that the Highway Department's dollar will now buy only about half as many miles of roads as could have been built for the same money two or three years ago. Of course, this applies to everything that anybody has to purchase. Now, about the bond issue.
As you TWO probably know there are ways of building roads. The first is for the Highway Department to build what is known as state financed roads." Here the State pays the entire cost. The past administration saw fit to use nearly all available money to build this kind of road. Please understand, we have no quarrel decision. After all, every, administration has different ideas as to the best procedure, and I respect.
their ideas. The second method of building is for the administration to use most of the available money in matching federal funds ON A DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR BASIS. This is the way we prefer. Presently we have some twenty-five million dollars available in Washington, some of it being as much as four years old. This money, it must be remembered, is actually OUR OWN MONEY.
The Federal Government has no way to obtain money except from the citizens and business firms of all the states. Last year Alabama sent two hundred and eightynine million dollars to Washington. Therefore, I think it behooves us to get back as much of this money as can be constructively and soundly used. Road building, I believe you will agree, will come under this definition. Certainly we have no assurance that the available federal funds will not be recalled.
Our Congress is looking for money and if it finds that certain states are not using their allocations, recall would certainly be in order. Should this happen our road program would never recoyer. It is easy to say "let's pay as we go." That is precisely the policy this administration is following in connection with future road program and everything else. But, for us to match the twenty-five million dollars already available to us in Washington (which as I mentioned is up to four years old) simply is not possible with our current revenues. The reason is simple.
Our buying power is just about half of what it was a few years ago. Yet, as you know, there has been no increase in taxes in Alabama except the new one cent sales tax, and every penny of this goes to education and nothing else. Then, there are those who oppose any type of bond issue. Here, I think it should be pointed out that America was built on bond issues. Our cities, counties, the State and the Federal Government have always built on bonds.
Likewise, with taxes as high as they are today, no private ness firms can possibly expand on their profits. High income taxes makes this certain. When the Telephone the Alabama Power, Company, the railroads business firms as General Motors, Sears Roebuck, and many hundreds more want to expand, they issue bonds. In my way of thinking this method of financing is the backbone of America. Although the Legislature could have raised the money for tHe present bond issue without a vote of the people, we decided that this was a right which the people should exercise.
We, therefore, requested the Legislature to permit the people of the State to vote on this 25 Million Dollar Road Bond Issue. This money, due to Alabama's excellent financail condition, can be obtained at from to What is most important of all is that this money can be obtained without extra taxes in any shape or form both now or in the future. It just so happens we have some expiring bond issues, the income President Backs Off On Vatican Envoy Washington, Oct. 23 The White House announced late today that President Truman has decided not to carry out recognition of the Vatican as a temporal power until Congress has acted on the controversial issue. The President has decided not to make a recess appointment of Gen.
Mark W. Clark as dor. His nomination for the post was sent to the Senate a few hours before it adjourned on Saturday and consequently was not acted upon. It was announced also that there is no plan to establish a diplomatic, the mission Senate in acts the on Vati- the confirmation of Clark as ambassador. White House sources said that the act of recognition of the Vatican as a temporal power was an action which the executive could take without consulting Congress, but that the President did not wish to set up an embassy, perhaps headed by a charge d'- affaires, until the issue of confirming Clark is settled.

For corn placed under the warehouse-storage loan and for shelled corn placed under farm storage loan, the moisture content shall not exceed 13.5% regardless of when the corn offered for loan. A P.M.A. official will be equipped to determine the moisture content of corns offered for loans. What kind of storage bins will be approved? Approved farm-storage shall consist of storage structures on or off the farm, provided no warehouse recept is outstanding.
These buildings must be of such construction as to afford safe storage of the corn. Officials of PMA will determine whether the building proposed is satisfactory for safe storage of corn. What does it cost you to get a loan? Where the corn is under a farm-storage loan, you must pay a service fee cent per bushel on the number of bushels placed under the loan or $3.00 which ever is greater. Under warehouse loans, the producer must pay cent per bushel or $1.50 whichever is greater. These service fees will not be refunded.
Do you pay interest on the loan received? An interest charge of per year will be made on the loan. It will cover the period from the date loan is made until delivery of corn is made or redeemed. When will delivery of corn be expected? The delivery of corn produced in this area will probably be demanded during the first ten days of May. However, the lending Agency, C.C.C., can demand delivery earlier if it chooses to do so. What is the loan rate on corn? The loan rate on Alabama corns, both yellow and white, provided it grades at delivery time, U.S.
No. 3 or better will be $1.74 per bushel. The corn will have to be shelled and delivered by the farmer. The loan support rate on soybeans in Jackson County will be $2.39 per bushel. Stevenson News Items MRS.
