Do You Remember These Tales

Some few years ago, the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany apoogzed for poor service by saying the govern
owed the road much money from federal opera
ton money it could not collect.
Time for settlement and the government owed
the Pennsylvania nothing The Pennsylvania the
rary paid the government S90000000 because the gov
eminent had "over-naintained" the road during the
period of government service.
Some few years ago the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
thru Daniel Willard complained bitterly that the gov
eminent had not maintained the road properly during
the period Of government service
Time for settlement and the Baltimore& Ohio
paid the government 100000 because the government
had maintained the road.
The New York Central settlement is approved
The New York Central will pay the government 3000
000 because of overmaintenance Fortunately for the
New York Central there is record of wild attacks
the government from that road because its president

period of government operation.

propaganda gets confession today from the railroads
that the propaganda either consciously uncon-

Tea pot Dome Facts

Let's not let this tempest stirred up by reports that
Teapot Dome oil not what IL cracked
up to be Sidetrack attention from the real wrong
done the public by the FaSncair deal The facts are
these
Teapot Dome was a public naval oil reserve 1t
transferred by executive order from the navy to the
department Of the interior. That was done without
authorization Of congress- which created the reserve
and without informing the public.
Albert Is. FALL secretary of the interior leased Teapot
Dome to Harry f. Sinclair II private deal between
the two men, made in the seeuson of Falls New Mexico
ranch and not at Washington Sinclair at the time
estimated the value of the lease ut Sl00,000000
This huge public resource disposed of by public
official to personal friend-Fall and Sinclair just re-
turned from European tour togeher-without permit
ting another prospective lessee TO bid for the lease.
Fall tells the senate committee investigating the
deal that he turned Teapot Dome over to Sinclair
in private because he felt he could get better contract
in private than by calling for public bids.
OF course Mr.. Fall knew that the only way TO test
his unique theory to call for bids and test is now
impossible He knew that the law demanded public bids
for all contracts except those for personal service.
He should have called for public bids for the
struction of the tanks to hold the nayys oil, but he
disregarded that precedent in the deal with his friend
Sinclair who agreed to construct tanks in exchange for
OIL
These are facts for the public to keep N mind when
FalSinclair witnesses come before the senate commit
tee asserting that Teapot Dome contains but onefourth
the oil Sinclair expected when he and Fall made their
deal
Perhaps Teapot Dome will fall short in production
Then again. perhaps it won't Time only viii tell. But
time will not change the fundamental proposition that
Fall dickered with Sinclair in private and let the pubcs
oil slip into the hands of private expoiter in
a way contrary to the law
