Capital la Full as Fcaplc Who Wont
“Their Rights.” r
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer |
■Washington, April B.—Folk who'
“want their rights” are the Curse of
Washington. T’ae town’s full of;
them, trying to get thingß out of the
government—money generally —that
they think they have legitimately |
coming to them.
They' clutter- up the departments.
They persecute senators and repre
sentatives. They try to see the presi
dent. They nag the life half out of
anybody and everybody they can get
to listen to them.
Pnmtigiated pests, that's what
they are.
» * •
The worst of it is that a lot of
these unfortunates have real griev
ances. It isn’t imagination on their
part. They've suffered actual in
justice.
Official promises they've had made j
:to them have been broken. They,
can't get tlicir pay for pub'ie ser
vices they’ve performed. They’ve j
been deprived of property withant due I
process of law. They’ve been tfiim-1
blerigged out of patent or copyright K
interests. Departmental rulings have,
been unfair to them.
Oh, there arc plenty, of ways of'
1 being run over and trampled on by
the government, or its factotums, but I
when it comes to getting any notice
taken of tile injuries you’ve sustained,
you're up against an awful propcei-i
tion.
* * *
Os course all this is assuming that
the kicker Is comparatively uninflu
ential.
Barrels of money or a strong po
litical pull get prompt attention even
in some rattier dubious cases. Folk
'with money and a pnll. however,
aren’t included among the nuisances.
They’re waited on and go off about \
their business.
The ones who hang around the
capital and pester everybody are the
ones with poorly-lined poeketbookß
and no vfttes to deliver.
