Show This, That And i The Other BY LES DAVIDSON , The Wyoming Press Association has gone or. record as favoring the Bankhead bill. Elmer Davis, head of the OWI ia against the spending of so much moncy "foolishly," but, we notice that he does not rush to a megaphone to stop some of the government leaks, nor does he handpick ele-quent ele-quent talkers to help kill useless expenditures. One case in point, an official in Casper, engaged in defense, too, had two stenographers stenograph-ers in his office. They kept busy, sure, but along comes an order from headquarters telling him to hire twenty-five clerks. He had no use for them, and said so, but, back came the order to secure the clerks, he wrote out his resignation resigna-tion and quit. Result, one good official lost by professional blundering blund-ering of the New Deal, a stick thrown into the cogs of the political pol-itical machine, bat no kick made about '"unnecessary expense," po, just make a soft berth for twenty-five clerks, build up 25 more votes for the ''God of the machine," another step taken towards to-wards a veriable dictatorship. Ask the country papers to donate for politcal advertising, under the guise of patriotism. Senator Hatch, (Dem.) of New Mgxico, is in favor of the campaign cam-paign expense of an election being be-ing settled by the government, the people pay the bills in the long run, so keep caandidates from buying their way into office, ban the pernicious political activity, activ-ity, outlaw all private subscriptions, subscrip-tions, and as the people pay the bill in the long run, make those payments direct, so that regulations regula-tions may be enforced, it sounds like a good idea. Southern Democrats have taken tak-en up the cudgels for the people of the west in the matter of thg allowance of gasoline which the car owners in the oil regions may have. The government says its wants 100 octane gas for its flying fly-ing machines, to get this gas there will be a plethora of lower grade gas, such as used to run autos. In California, storage space for the auto gas is at a premium, in fact some of it has been wasted. t Just because freight conditions are what they are, eastern drivers driv-ers cannot get gasoline for driving driv-ing just because they cannot get gas, they, demand that the west, with plenty and to spare, shall be put on the same ratio as them. It's case of misery loves company." |
