THE TRIBUNE'S VIEW
Mark Twain forest
By HENRY J. WATERS III, Publisher, Columbia Daily Tribune
I am indebted
to Carl Freiling, a south-county real estate agent and longtime conservationist
who for some time has been discussing with the U.S. Forest Service its plan to
allow more intensive uses in parts of the Mark Twain National Forest not far
from where he lives.

Congressional solutions create more problems
By WALTER WILLIAMS
Most of the great problems we face are caused by
politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place.
Politicians and a large percentage of the public lose sight of the unavoidable
fact that for every created benefit, there’s also a created cost or, as Nobel
Laureate Milton Friedman put it, "There’s no free lunch."
