The Anderson city administration faces criticism for failing to enfranchise 8000 voters after annexing substantial farmland in 1957. Officials offer no comment and defer to the election board, despite a Supreme Court decision this month, leaving new residents taxed without voting rights and prompting calls for accountability.
The piece explains that since the New Frontier federal payroll grew by 168 589 jobs in under three years, the payroll increased by 51 million dollars, raising the average tax for a family of four to 2183.90 annually. It argues spending cuts save taxpayers money and urges applying a simple yardstick to big Washington giveaways.

The article argues tariff law and rising imports hurt livestock producers and workers. It cites 1968 first-half red meat imports at 651 million pounds, 100 million more than last year, and 18 percent higher, leading to lower cattle prices and fewer meat jobs. It highlights a TV tuner maker, Sarkes Tarzian, facing foreign competition from Japan, pressing for tariff protections or cost cuts.
A reader asks how to allocate $125,000 cash plus $30,000 savings for tax exempt securities and growth stocks. They plan retirement at 62, seek inflation protection with high income stocks like Texaco Merck and rail/utility names, and wonder about tax-exempt bonds and senior notes. The advisor suggests a mixed approach balancing growth and tax efficiency, with conservative bonds and tax exempt issues, plus steady dividends.
Democratic leaders and the White House reaffirm the push for both civil rights legislation and a $11 billion tax cut this year amid reports only one or the other might pass.

A well dressed pair robbed a Winona jewelry store on Monday, taking more than 40 000 in cash and diamonds. The robbers bound workers and loaded trays into a bag while a second duo acted as customers. A watchmaker and two women were also restrained in a back room before the trio fled. Local police investigated the early morning heist as store staff reported missing cash, mounted and unmounted stones, and other valuables. The incident followed a separate political burst of comments in the Senate on civil rights versus tax measures during a tense 1964 year.

Purdue’s agricultural economics department reports 1962 average net farm income for 264 Indiana farmers with records. State Farm income rose to 15 861 from 12 691 in 1961 while cash income and inventory values increased. The main gain came from feed and grain inventories, with higher yields reflected in crop value per acre.
Senator Richard B Russell of Georgia accuses the Civil Rights Commission of prejudice against white Southerners as it studies farm income and land size. He cites farm count and revenue differences among small, medium, and large holdings and urges the panel’s expiration or abolition. The debate centers on commission recommendations and potential federal aid changes for Mississippi and other states.
Virgil Watson, 60, of Owensville, was found dead Tuesday inside a 100 foot corn silo near Mount Vernon. An autopsy was begun to determine cause of death, with authorities saying illness during elevator work is likely, possibly suffocation from corn piled atop him.

A fragmentary verse recalls a mythical realm called the Land of Nowhere where hopes may be fulfilled.
