PAY-AS-YOU-ENTER POLITICS

IT MAY be something politics. but there is nothing
that calls for the adverse criticism of charging admission
to La Toilette and Wheeler meetings.
1t generally admitted that campaign funds in the past
have been contributed by those who expect profit by the
ton of the candidates they support
Sinclair and Doheny contributed the campaign fund
1920; and, verify they had their reward.
The protected wool steel other Big
terests contributed 1920 and verify they had their
in the tariff bill.
Senator Lodge said that 90 per of the contributions
the campaign funds Of the two old parties put up by Wall
Street; and, verify Wall Street had its reward
Sinclair and Doheny won't contribute to the Progressive
campaign fund Neither will Morgan and Gary Wall Street
owners Of the railroads won't contribute The packers
help La Toilette Neither will any monopoly other benef
eary of legislative and legal special privilege.
There Frank Munseys and George W. Perinses
play angel to the Progressive movement-of 1924.
That's because there will be special privilege handouts
coming from the Progeves when they Govern
ment for its rightful owners the people.
So is entirely proper that the plain people themselves
should the campaign Of THEIR candidates
1t costs millions of dollars finance presidential cam
paign for of the old parties These millions put
individuals and interests who expect it all back with
Orbitant interest
The people know how of them get their money
back They know about Doheny Sinclair Fall Daugherty
They know about Teapot Dome and the Bureau
They know how President Coolidge himself backed
the Mellon plan reduce the of the mumonaires
and the big burden of taxation the backs of small
business the professional for salaries
wages.
So the people who want their Government
hem and made again Government Of by and for the people,
quite willing to help pay the expenses of THEIR fight by
paying admission to THEIR campaign meetings
That's all there is to it.

The Oil Lamp
BY HAL COCHRAN

Just little old holder that's made
out of glass and a top-piece that's
blown of the same. There once was
the day when the oil lamp was class,
but it's passed, nowadays, out of the
game.
In years long ago grandma climbed
up the stairs with the oil lamp
clasped tight in her hand. She'd
shadow her way mid the flickers
and glares. as the old folks will well
understand.
At dusk, when the sunlight was
fading away, the OH lamp would an
swer the need. 1t flared up and
glared at the end of the day so that
grandma and granddad could read.
But now it is gone to the used-to.
be lands. More modern arc lights
that we know. So down in the Gel
lar the old oil lamp stands, just an
echo of long, long ago.
