Show i This, That And The Oilier BY LES DAVIDSON ' Just a specimen ot the wastefulness waste-fulness of the war adminstration is seen in the dumping- of $60,000 worth of potatoes. We distinctly remember that for five weeks it was physically impossible to purchase pur-chase potatoes in Washington, D. C, even the government cafeteria and the hospitals couldn't pet them. Reason, the war food adminstration, ad-minstration, alais the Washington minstration, alais Ignonant Washington Wash-ington Wizards, said that all potatoes pota-toes were needed for the war effort Now that board is facing an investigation in-vestigation hope it investigates and may have a duece of a time explaining why $60,000 was wasted. Senator Arthur Capper is responsible res-ponsible for for the distribution in this part of the country (we should say nation) of the nine- point program of food distribution and the suppression of inflation, Needless to; say that this program will not be accepted. First, because be-cause it says that the muddling of wholesale and retail prices by the OPA will soon drive the small merchant out of business, second, because the powers that be insist I that all orders shall be issued by I the Washington Wizards, who know absolutely nothing of 'ocal concerns, instead of by' men familiar fam-iliar with local conditions. There is not much chance of expresident Hoover plans being accepted, for he is against the New Deal and all of its ignorant wastefulness. Hon. Joseph O'Mahoney, senator sena-tor from Wyoming, incidently a democrat, too, has an article in the latest Reader's Digest in which he uses the title "America Is Being Be-ing Made Over And We Won't Like It," in that article he opens by making this statement on the Jackson Hole Monument, "a liur-ish liur-ish of a pen on an Executive proclamation." This did what "Congress had refused to allow " and continues by saying that "this is typical of what is happening hap-pening in the Federal government in every phase of it's activities from the smallest local matters to the greatest internal national problems." pro-blems." The article goes on to say that in the last ten years the Executive Ex-ecutive deparment has issued about 4,000 of such orders, which is an amount equal to all the laws passed by congress in that pe'iod. He goes on to state that this om- inous state of affairs continues, and that "congress is not only I denied the right of final judge-1 judge-1 ment" but "is not even allowed to know the details of the agreements agree-ments in advance." This article should be read by every man who expects to cast a ballot at the next election, and is one of the j best expose of the turn to dic-tatorship dic-tatorship that the New Deal hr7 ever Mtempted since the preai-Ident preai-Ident tried to pack the supreme , court, i Sixteen million pounds of butter but-ter is to be released this month, according to the war food administration. admin-istration. This is good news for the housewife, but why should the ration points on butter be raised? There are several things that the Washington Wizards are doing lately which make the average American wonder, one of these is the senseless keeping down the gasoline amount in the west, where there is a plethors of that commodity because the East Is unable to get enough to supply the demand. Congress meets again on September Sep-tember 14. At that time the Bank-head Bank-head bill will come up in the upper up-per house. We wonder if it ever struck the limited minds of the IWW's in Washington that the paltry 25,000, 000 asked for in that bill would be better spent (Continued on page 5) enlightening the eyes" (Palms I9:SK The following' correlative passages pas-sages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures byj Mary Baker Eddy also form a part of this lesson-Sermon: "When man is governed by God the ever present Mind who under- ' istands all things, man knows that i I with God all things are possible."
