Louisiana compares road plans with Mississippi pay-as-you-go
A Mississippi pay-as-you-go highway plan is contrasted with Louisiana’s $140,000,000 five year highway bond proposal. Mississippi rejects bonds for roads and decides to fund construction from current funds, while Louisiana would incur about $55,000,000 in interest and total outlay exceeding $200,000,000 for highways and bridges if the bond is approved. The article previews voter decisions in the November 7 election.

Referendum on Arizona school funding sparks tax debate
Westbrook Pegler argues against a ballot measure raising per pupil state and county funding from 115 to 170, labeling the Arizona Education Association and school teachers as a powerful, self-serving lobby. He accuses the education system of rapacity, warns that constitutional funding limits restrict legislative flexibility, and cites a linked controversy involving Draper and Adler to illustrate perceived abuses.

Emigration plan shocks Berlin officials
Berlin officials were shocked by a Washington report that the economic cooperation agency studies a plan to emigrate 120,000 skilled workers from the city. They said they had not been informed, while officials warned such a move would contradict allied aims to hold Berlin as a bridgehead and rebuild its economy with Marshall Plan funds. The city faced 294,000 unemployed, mostly unskilled or white collar, after losing government payrolls.

No Saving Seen In New System
Washington October 23 Senator J Kellar Democrat Tennessee said taxpayers did not benefit from wrapping appropriations for almost all government agencies into one huge money bill. He noted the experiment produced no saving and might have saved more if separate bills had been used. He plans further study next year and discussed with House Speaker Rayburn, whose views are similar. Chairman Cannon of Missouri commented on the 1949 Senate resolution favoring a single bill, which the House did not act on.
