Opinion column by Paul Harvey arguing voting should be tied to taxpayer status. It criticizes welfare dependence and census recounts, calls for limiting voting rights to taxpayers, and suggests using tax rolls for a precise head count to determine eligibility. The piece labels welfare as a continuing political tool and warns against universal franchise.
The Sunday vote leaves Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's coalition intact but shows discontent with both Schmidt's Social Democrats and Strauss's Christian Democrats. The Free Democrats surge, adding 13 seats to their 39, becoming the clear beneficiaries as the government may lean more liberal to balance the left. The piece notes foreign policy implications and cautions against vitriolic campaigning.
Column argues President Carter misstates Court rulings and blames others for economic woes. It notes his false claim about bilingual education, attacks on the Federal Reserve, rising rates, and a 16 percent money-supply growth, framing his campaign as negative with few targets left.
Letters urge against U S uranium sales to India citing risks of weaponization and strained Pakistan ties. Readers criticize policy makers including Sen Hollings and call for electing strong leaders like Frank Galardi to enforce laws and curb drug abuse in Aiken County.
