Another Chapter in Oil Corruption.

After the decision of the United States supreme the
Doheny that deprived him of the Elk Hills
California obtained by fraud and corruption
only matter that the verdict would be APP
piled to Harry The unanimous decision of the
preme uphod the decision of the Eighth Court Appeals
the Teapot Dome oil land leases in Wyoming.
The decision emphatic in denouncing Mr. Albert
FALL secretary the interior in the Warren G. Harding cab
met than the Doheny decision The TRANSACTION by when
Mr. Fall received from the oil magnates some $230O0O in liberty
bonds condemned confirms the belief generated by other
circumstances the that he tlthes pubIc servant
The also persuasive evidence of conspiracy between

and make the goat Albert Fall worker be deceived
that this miserable whep is alone in his perfidy
Furthermore in connection with the disposal of these
always essential keep in mind the fact that thevery and

cessy Capitalism will stand for almost unlimited corruption
the of its political puppets long does not endanger

funkeys forget the necessity of maintaining invioate
powerful state machine with tremendous military
well material equipment they have to be checked 1t
much the brazen stealing that determined the court
verc but the fact that Elk Hills and Teapot Dome naval
and the ravagng Of these by private spectators enda
gered the predatory military machine of the greatest mperas
power earth
There objections the part of their masters to the
governmental puppets enrcng themselves but their first duty
to defend the interests of the mperasts class against
their enemies When ambitious individuals corporations
danger the interests of their class they must be halted in their
greed That the meaning of the supreme court decisions
that deprived Sinclair Of Teapot Dome and Doheny of Elk Hills
