THE SPEED MANIAC

Under a Chickasha date line the
story is told of an automobile turn
ing turtle, injuring several young
people who We're JOY riding therein
Eye witnesses to the accident, state
that the car which overturned seem
ed to be racing with roadster, and
that in attempting to turn into a
cross street the speed was so great
that the drivers failed TO cling TO the
paving.
The story. the same sort OF a
story. similar in all essential details
is retold daily, from different towns
all over the country. Sometimes the
occupants OF the car which met
with accident escape without serious
injury, as was the case with th'
Chickasha speedsters-at other time:
the foolhardy ones are either KILLED
or crippled for life.
We have laws which regulate th'
speed at which cars shall be driver
in the cities of Oklahoma. We have
officers who are paid salaries to en-
force these laws and rigid enforce

traffic should be demanded by th'
people.

and has long since evaporated. Mo-
mentarily the people resent an attempt
to debauch the electorate with money,
but the ease with which they permit
their Indignation TO dissipate Is DIS
quieting.
The (> lger to the country OF mil
lion.dollar campaign funds does not
lie so much in the bribing of dele
gates and voters, for after al not
many delegates and voters are bought
outright. The danger lies in the patent
fact that men who contribute fortunes
for campaign purposes expect to be
repaid with usury. When citizen
contributes 100000 to elect sena-
tor or president it is loan and not
a donation. He expects TO get many
times his money back through some
special favor to be granted by the
official he helps to elect. The people
themselves are mulcted 10 pay these
campaign donations Thus the Shiny
trail of the corruptionist finally
reaches the statutes of the country,
and the law,making and law-enforc-
ing power is conscripted to repay the
men who have bought an election,
The tax payers after all must foot
the bills.
The man who pays his million to
help elect Harding expects many mils
lions in return. The five millions, or
ten millions, or fifteen millions con-
tributed to elect Harding will not be
spent to purchase votes. Little If any
of it will be spent in that venal way.
But once Harding has taken the oath
of office. the bill will! be presented
and will be paid. The people will pay
for Harding's election in 1920 just as
they paid for McKinley's election
twenty.four years ago. In 1895 the
Republican committee raised and spent
the most lavish campaign fund in
history and that fund was repaid
to the original contributors many fold.
But the men who drove the plow in
Illinois and Texas and the men who
died at Homestead paid the bill.
The money-grabbing campaign re-
vealed by Governor Cox furnishes the
public some interesting information
but it will be information without val
us if the public shows no more dis
position to check such practices than
the public displayed in the Newberry
and Hamon cases. Its only present
value is to show the people that i'm
mense sums of money are being sub
scribed, to show who the subscribers
are, and to show them that great
fortunes will be wrung from the tax
payers to reimburse the subscribers
in the event that Harding is elected
