Our Man in Washington
7 Frank L. Spencer
TODAY’S HOI HOI --Maybe the only way to get people to
drive 55 miles per hour is to change the speed limit to 4$,
DON’T KNOW how many read the smaU story in yesterday's
papers about the “quiet" admission by the Carter ad-
ministration concerning the budget deficit.
THE ADMINISTRATION almost silently whispered that the
estimate of this year's budget deficit will be 30.3 BILLION
dollars.
IN JULY at the mid-year point, the deficit was estimated at
$29.7 billion. That, in case you are like many people and
can’t figure with that many numbers, is $583 million dollars
difference. In other words from July 12 to yesterday the
country went an additional 583 million dollars in the hole.
In 42 days that's an average of 13.8 million dollars a day
extra!
AS WE said, it is difficult to figure that many dollars—or
thst many anything!, but the increased deficit estimate-
the lower of the figures above-equals probably aU the
money that Oklahoma and Osage County and Pawhuska
have had in their budgets since statehood. And Uncle can
go that much in the hole in only 42 days!
AND as usual, the Office of Management and Budget had no
immediate explanation of "what ‘boppin’' to the railroad
trainload of money. SmaU potatoes, I guess, in the eyes of
the bureaucrats. But guess who gets to make up the
money?
GOT TO thinking with an estimated 5,000 people in Pawhuaka
that comes to about (if we figured the zeros right)
$116,400.00 for each man and woman and child in Pawhuska
IN ONLY 42 DAYS! And that just represents the budget
overrun, not the total deficit—and we’ve got news for you,
that huge deficit is in addition to a TRILLION doUar
budget!
IT IS sheer lunacy! The entire government should be
working on the problem of inflation, which is caused by big
government. And it seems, when the Department of
Management and Budget can’t even explain the huge
additional overrun, that no one is paying any attention to
the whole mess.
AN YON E who votes next election for someone now in federal
office from the president to the first-year congressman,
should have his head examined!

TERRY WADE
J-C Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON—President Carter recently ascribed the
nation's difficulties to a “crisis of confidence” in the American
people.
This crisis the president laid at the altar of murdered leaders
such as Martin Luther King and the Kennedys and at the con-
venient root-of-all-evil, the Vietnam War.
It is the president’s opinion that the American people are no
longer able to make difficult decision, no longer willing to
sacrifice for the greater good.
Both his assumptions are irght. There is a crisis of confidence
and the people are no longer able to make the difficult decisions
nor are they willing to sacrifice.

RUFUS ACLEN WEBB
Word has been received of the death of former Pawhuskan
Rufus Aden Webb, 77, of Stillwater He died Thursday, Aug. 23,
in the Oklahoma City .
Mr. Webb lived in Pawhuaka from 1945 to 1948 when he was
farmer security administration supervisor. He is survived by
his wife, Berla Webb; one son, Dr. 0. Lynn Webb of Newcastle,
Ind.; three brothers; two sisters; and three grandchildren.

now frightening
But, blaming the assassinations and the war is too simple, if
they can be blamed at all.
What is wrong with the nation, what has caused this crisis of
confidence is much more complex and deep seated.
It has to do with a government grown so large it has become
frightening instead of reassuring. It has to do with-more wealth
and less fulfillment:
-what appears ro be success, but gives very little satisfac-
tion;
-moral decay, lost deams and beliefs that seem out of touch
with reality.
It is difficult to have confidence in a government that seems so
intent on taking. While most Americans care about those less
fortunate, those same Americanos feel their hopes and dreams
AAA
may be a price too high to pay as a demonstration of their
concern.
Certainly, there are more cars in the driveways of bigger
houses, with fancier furnishings and mayxe,' in some cases,
more money in the bank.
But, what have those things meant? A fad a month. America
is seeking fulfillment in wine, cooking, jogging, dieting,
whatever is the latest thing.
When we reach a goal the joy is too often fleeting., the
satisfaction almost unfelt. The definition of su ccess changes so
rapidly we can’t enjoy it for not knowing when it is attained.
The times have priduced a generation that knows few
restraints. Where once moral standards were strictly defined
we now approve of “victimless crimes" neglecting the eocial
damage in favor of the individual who we leave unfettered to do
as pleasure dictates.
Weare a nation raised and nurtured to live in one fashion bat
has chosen a different type of life.
Prepared for a hard-working virtuous life, we have been
swayed from that path by a government promising to care for us
and conditions that have not prepared us for less.
The president’s crisis of confidence is much more serious than
just a crisis of confidence and it must be addressed as such by
Mr. Carter and quickly.

Steer Clear - For A While
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — An
alert was issued for Oregon’s
capital city when a half-ton
steer bolted from the state fair.
The enraged Black Baldie
was followed Friday by Salem
police and fair officials as it ran
south along the railroad tracks.
The steer then dove into the
Willamette River forcing its
pursuers to give chase in ca-
noes.
But the fast-swimming ani-
mal outpaced the law enforce-
ment officials. City Councilman
Peter Courtney, who lives near
the river, says he's rooting for
the steer. “Our whole neighbor-
hood is going bananas," he said.
After reaching the other side
of the river, the steer was seen
charging an unsuspecting golf-
er. It eluded ground troops and
a helicopter and disappeared.
Sgt. Ray Steel said residents
of the area have been notified to
call police if they see the an-
imial, and “we’ll come out and
round it up.”

Letters to the Editor
DEAR EDITOR:
It appears that “Ma Bell" has not cleaned up her act much
since your confrontation with her some time back.
According to one of the repairmen and also one of their
supervisors, it is "Company policy” to give a commitment of
time and-or date when someone calls for a phone to be
repaired. It doesn’t make any difference whether or not they
know if the commitment can be met. They just keep on telling
you "your phone will be fixed between 8 and 5 tomorrow” until
someone finally gets around to sending a repairman or until you
have a stroke from the resulting high blood pressure.
A retired lady I know lost her phone service Sunday evening,
August 19, during the storm, as did most of us here in Pawhuska.
However, my phone was back in order within a couple of hours
even though a tree was still lying on the line. This lady was told
each day, Sunday through Wednesday, that her phone would be
fixed tomorrow and that there was something wrong with the
cable. She was also told that her phone had been fixed (while
she was using a neighbor ’s phone to inquire about hers.)
Richard Large, the man your editorial said we could contact,
wasn’t much help either. He told her that lightening had struck
the cable and it would have to be repaired. Her neighbors
already had phones at that time.
When I asked one of the Bartlesville supervisors why our
phones kept going our, I was told that our cables and equipment
were old and wearing our. Sure wish "Ma Bell” would spent
some of that money she used for advertising on television to
replace our old, worn-out equipment. You can’t very well take
advantage of all those special long distance rates if you don’t
have a phone.
Also, I hope you can come up with a name for all of us to call
or write and express our views on making appointments that
aren’t meant to be kept. It really galls a person to take off from
work to meet the repairman per "company policy" and wind up
sitting there talking to yourself. And, even if one doesn’t have to
take off from work, it’s still a very disturbing and irritating
experience to be lied to consistently day after day.
Sincerely,
Tina 0. Hutson

In order to carry on the
routine operation and be
able at all times to redeem
deposits on demand, all
commercial banks must
have on hand or subject to
all an adequate amount of
currency relative to the
volume of their deposit lia-
bilities and demands. There
must be vault cash to meet
the day to day demands
and additional funds on
hand or on deposit with
other banks to meet a sud-
den increase in demand for
cash payments. The ratio
of cash to deposits may
vary from time, primarily
depending on the type of
economy we are in, time
of year and size of the
bank.
You can now understand
why a bank must keep its
loans and other invest-

it is the depositors' money,
