The administration probably trusted
to public ignorance to soften the
shock. thinking the people are not
aware that Standard Gil of Indiana
now controls the Sinclair Company
through stock ownership, obtained
while Harry Sinclair was in Europe
on business. When he got home he
found that control of his company
had passed to the Standard. So it is

When Harding won the election one
Of the demands made Of him was that
Senator Fall of New Mexico, should be
Secretary of the Interior; the pred
atory corporations desired nothing
more than this, so far as the public
domain was concerned. They knew
Fall and knew what he would do. Ger
tainly they are not being disappointed.
With such a grab-fest proceeding
right out in the public view, men are
justified in wondering what is being
done with the public properties in
Alaska. where minerals of untold val
ue are known to exist, and in which
every citizen of the country has an
interest, as in the public oil lands OF
Wyoming and California.
And Fall is not alone; the public
believes that ether members OF the
cabinet are guilty of similar acts. IN
fact, the whole administration is per
vaded with this intense friendship for
the rich grabber of spoils. Secretary
Of War Weeks is alleged to have per-
mitted the selling of surplus war sup
plies to business interests at ridicu-
lousy low prices. All these sales have
been carefully engineered to prevent
the public receiving any benefit or Sc
curing any relief from the high cost
of living. Those corporations which
furnished these supplies to the gov

Swat the Fly.

Swat the flies folks, swat with care,
Swat till you see no more flies there.
Without a doubt the fly was created
for a purpose, but few people can
really see of what real use it is. As
an irritant, and multiplier, it can
not be eXcelled. 1t is said to absorb
much waste matter, and for that rea-
son we should not call it desirable
company in a living room. or where
eatables are kept, after it has absorb
ed obnoxious things. Some towns Of
fer rewards for certain quantities OF
dead flies. and the sales OF protective
screens. wire and netting, and vari-
Gus fly traps. and swatters, have in
creased wonderfully in the last few
years. In this age of enlightenment
there must be a reason for research
and activity to get rid Of the housefly.

WASHINGTON LETTER
BY Wallace Bassford

Specldl news pOuuSul
Washington. ID. C.. May S.-ThG
psople OF Washington. some OF whom
have seen many years of Republican
control. are used to seeing the higt
salaried attorneys of the corporations
come to Washington and go away
with what they came for, but surprise
is growing over the fact that under
this administration they not only ask
and receive, but, what's more, they get
il all. YEARLY the observers wait to
see Harding do some one thing for
the common good, rather than many
things for the good of the heavy cam
naign contributors. Again the words
Of the Bible come home with forceful
truth-"Unto him who hath it shall be
given" The great corporations nave
beep relieved Of the excess profits
taxes, the corporation taxes have been
81 re-adiusted that the big ones pay
less and the small ones of lesser IN
auence and ability pay more, the TAR
if is being so raised that the rlch
manufacturers will receive even more
profit while the consumer must pay
more for all he uses, the currency IS
being contracted at a rapid rate IN
order to make money, the merchan-
disc OF the rich, more powerful ana
lar-reaching. Encouraged by the ap-
PAUSE of the privileged classes, the
administration even goes so far as TO
turn over to the Standard Oil Com
panies the great ground reserves OF
fuel oil which the Wilson administra-
ton set aside for the use of the navy
in the years to come The great Tea
pot Dome region in Wyoming, known
to contain many millions of barrels OF
the precious oil, has been given to the
Sinclair Consolidated Oil Company.

PLAN FOR LOCKING NEW CAR
BY Removing Distributor Arm OF le-
milton System Owner Can Pre-
vent Robbery.

Many modern cars are fitted with a
battery ignition system in which the
distributor arm is removable. By re-
moving this arm the car owner makes
it possible TO steal his vehicle only by
towing it away or by fitting another
distributing arm. The arm may be
removed, simply by unclasping the dis
tribution cover to which wires are at
tached. 1t usually happens that there
is only one way in which this arm
will fit, so that there need be no
worry about replacement.
