It remains to be seen, if the people will remember some of the "unsavory deals “pulled" back in the days of the Harding, Coolidge and Hoover. There's the old Teapot Dome scandal, a manipulation in which the big boys hoped 16 steal and carry away vital oil. pBack in the 1920’s, the big boys in the Re publican part} did not mess around with little old mink coats and deep freezers. Sec retary of the Treasurer Andrew Mellon, op erating under three Republican Presidents dished out tax monies to his pals to the tune of millions of dollars. The late Senator James Couzens in 1924 smelled a rat in the Internal Revenue Department, and he learn ed that tax rebates were made secretly to the tune of millions of dollars. The reports thawed that $15 million went to Mellon’s • cwn company; U. S. Steel got more than $55 million; Bethlehem was favored to the tune of more than $22 million; Federal Shipbuild ing came in for nearly $20 million, and (lull 1 Oil. another of Mellon’s companies, shared j $3 million of the secret hand-out. Then to climax it all, Mr. Mellon handed himseM a rebate, second to a $457,000 handout to John D. Rockefeller. Jr. < During the Harding administration, Mrs. Alice Longworth, a leader in Washington’s ijfgh Republican society, is quoted as saving following a visit to the White House while Mr. Harding and the Republican bigwigs were there: i*,“No rumor could have exceeded the real ity. The study (room) was filled with cron tes, Daughterly, Jess Smith, Alex Moore and others, the air heavy with tobacco smoke. Tioys with bottles, containing every unag Inabie brand of whiskey stood about, tPro hibition was then the law of the land, it will be remembered). Cards and poker chips ready at hand, a general atmosphere of waist coats ur* attuned, feel on the desk and the spittoon alongside.” It would seem that the corruption in Washington loday, and it is admitted that if stinks to high heaven, is small potatoes Compared with the deals pulled back yon der by the now holier-than-thou boys. And the Republicans have not changed. It seems that a fellow by the name of Gab kielson is under heavy suspicion right now. ft has been charged that Senator Styles Bridges, just recently promoted by the Re publicans, favored increasing the salary of a government man by the naim^jMJh^han^ about the time the Senator was trying to softpeda! around a tax problem for a big time New York gambler. Iloni Tit Suit Some of these in Washington who would have others believe the} are to be found >n the side of all that’s right and noble, appear to be hard to suit, and actually balk when some one tries to get good things mvm pl tehed. Our own Senator Clyde R. Hoey is list 'd as being opposed to the reorganization of ini: Btiiiid'of Interna! Revenue, exp.a.mug that the Civil Service should be limit -d to the local field for its chiefs. It would appear that Mr. Hoey is not yet ready to surrender t$te political plums, that even though Cwil Service is introduced into the high revenue fi^ld, the politicians could still deal out pa t linage The Constitution affords no guarantee against graft, but its provisions make pos sible for the people to do something about it. TJhe President’s organization plan for the Bureau of Internal Revenue may not remedy a bad situation, but it is a step in the right direction. Yet, Mr. Hoey and some few oth ers are against it. Roulnrr Fail It At the beginning of a new year, we ean think of no more important thing than a restoration to this state and nation of faith — “despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot.” We must have faith, as Sacramentans as Americans, ia-th-e Divit < -Prowldenee . in our free way of lift-, in our destiny, in ourselves. We should return to those traditions iu iv. gutot .by 5iv.s. jiir.ua? ••..is riruieipies whkrb have been for our country, through all the years, even when in the wilderness of war and of depression, a pillar of lire by day and a pillar of fire by night. Let us seek leaders, locally and nationally, in whom we ean have taith—leaders with every-day probity and v/ith intellectual in tegrity, with vision tempered by knowledge and common sense, with burning patriotism that rises above political considerations, with conviction that holds last to principle yet recognizes the essentiality oi the right to dis agree in a free society. Such potential leadership exists, for in this America, this land oi ours, the spirit of Washington and of Lincoln persists in the hearts of the people. Let’s dedicate 1952 to cleaning corruption out of government, and restoring to govern ment that faith w'hich is necessary for it to function in the interests of all the people.— Sacramento (Calif.) Union Well S/H’iil According to a story released by the Fed eral Reserve Bank of Richmond, the Com modity Credit Corporation has since 19311 through June of last year experienced a de ficit of one billion and twenty million dol lars in underwriting the nation’s Jarm pro gram. That’s a fairly sizable amount of cash, to be sure. We dare say that that r.o.'.ey was well spent, that because of it many billions were added to the economy of this nation, and that without it there could have been a depression, if not something even worse. Before the reactionaries shout about that billion dollar deficit, they should recognize the lasting values bought with the money. If the government can accomplish as much in the next eighteen years with a billion and twenty million dollars as it did with that amount in the past eighteen years, it | should do it by all means. Childish The actions of s.>me of the seekers of the Presidency is downright childish and re mind one of the two little boys playing mar bles. “If you don’t let me win, I won’t play,” ' one little boy says to the other little boy. One of the candidates says he’ll not enter | a primary in this or that state because he j doesn’t think he has a chance there. If he doesn’t have a chance, then it is foolish for him to enter the primary. But it is just as foolish for him to enter a primary where he is certain of victory. And what’s wrong with entering every potential candidate in every primary? To do so would at least bare the wishes of some of the people, rather than leaving it up to j the profession.’! ’ hotel I ream out in Chicago. Mistakes i on He llel/tfnl No day passes but what we can look back j and see some act that we would like to re- | call. Much of life is filled with misgivings and worry over mistakes committed in daily living. No one is immune from them; the weak perish in the struggle, but the stn ng use them as steps toward a happy tomorrow. ' The reward comes when we can make our | mistakes aid in building a more happy and j purposeful life for the morrow.- The Uplilt. The Stassen l‘lan Harold Stassen, self-mentioned candidate for the Presidency, estimates that if 100,000 people sent him $5 each, he could enter the primaries in fourteen states. It and when Mr Stassen finds 100 odd peo ple ready and willing to hand over $5 each to him, he can claim a direct right-of-way to the White House. Favorable Time Element I - Those who are sorely troubled because Congress is back in session, blowing hot air all over the country, should cheer up. Along about next June, congressmen can be ex pected to desert Washington in the interest of their campaigns back home. Things might look terribly dark, but the time element as it relates to the second ses sion of the 82nd Congress is certainly fav orable. 1 People who glory in parading their vir tues would do well to remember that it takes a considerable number to make a pa rade.” >>;?£S«%5sj«®e»SgSS©S8SSS3S8S!38s!8S3S3S®8SS58«33SeS333S 60 SECOND SERMONS TEXT: “Don't make excuses—make good.”—Elbert Hubbard A mid-westerner1 was sitting on the beach watching a fair and very stout bather enjoy herself in the surl He knew nothing of tides and did not notice that each sue Ci > *vVivi cciiiU'1 u jiitic ci'dsci to ins Uu extra big wave sploshed over his shoe tops.
