![["Marie Aldrich wrote to Congressman James R. Jones urging his support for wage and price controls due to a drastic rent increase. Jones sympathized with her situation but believed that responsible taxing and spending policies by the federal government, rather than controls, were the best solution to combat inflation. He mentioned his support for a compromise tax reduction package and balanced federal budget efforts. Jones offered his assistance to Aldrich and expressed his commitment to working towards saner taxing and spending policies."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Correspondence%20Series,%201968-1986%20/CAC_CC_109_4_22_1_0000-District%20Office,%20Jones%20Clippings,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_109_4_22_38_0019_thumbnail.jpg "Congressman James R.
