Mass Government

Some fortnight back there was
a convention OF gathering Of
representative Southerners In
Washington to decide just what
was needed down here in this
wilderness country. Well, I got
all energized and, because I
dwell in these parts, I thought
maybe I could help by trying to
tell what part of the trouble
down here happens to be.
My suggestion for remedy fol-
lows. This will apply also to the
entire nation, but more so here
in the South.
While Mr.. Roosevelt reorgan-
izes the Federal Government,
why not consolidate the 48
States into II and consolidate
the 1000 odd counties into 800
an6 modernize the 48 codes Of
States laws into a practical
democratic government along
the JefferSonian ideas, retaining
the full constitutional benefits
there by retaining all sectional
customs and traditions and rip
ping the cost of government into
some one-tenth its cost today?
I wonder what would be wrong
with such reorganization? It
would give us better schools,
better government, and give us
a chance to do away with obSo.

On June %, 1888, Health De-
partment officials Of the District
Of Columbia broadcast over Sta
ton WMAL at 10 p. N. a talk On
milk in the interest of the milk
trust. It was certainly an insult
to the intelligence Of the Wash
ington public.
I would like to say Washing
ton has no vote and we are at
the mercy Of the milk trust,
aided by the D. c. Health De-
partment.
There are 10000 gallons Of
milk sold daily and the Wash.
ington public pays at least IL
cents per gallon more than its
neighbors in Maryland who have
a vote and can make their own
laws.
The only way that this can be
conquered is by a newspaper
campaign which would place
this affair sQuarely before the
public.

Milk and Votes

I am writing in reference to
the letter published in The
Times Of July Is, signed Angry
Consumer, and fully agree with
him about the price of milk here.
Washington is situated in
close proximity to the finest
dairy country in the world: near
ly all milk for fluid use is pro-
duced within a hundred miles Of
this city and the freight is very
snail.
Outside the District Of Co
lumbia in Maryland, Grade A
paSteurized milk is sold to the
consumer at II cents per quart,
while here it is IA cents.
Outside District
Reason for this is that the
milk trust has not obtained con-
troll of this territory and Mont
gomery county has about so dis
tributorS and Washington about
II. On action of the D. C. Health
Department these distributors
cannot compete in the Washing
ton market. These same regula-
tive actions were condemned by
the Senate committee of 1933-S4
and the chairman Of the COM
mittee said it looked as If there
was something crooked in the
D. C. Health Department.
I want to say here that the
Health Department has been &C
cused Of fostering laws to aid the
milk trust in various parts Of the
country (see report Of Federal
Trade Commission, 1880. The
law of February 27. 1925, which
is now in operation here, was, to

ably is better for the average
person to go through puppy
love, for it is only natural for
people, no matter how young, to

harm at all and helps to pre-
pare a person for real love later

His partner back home had
been more careful Of his money
and was able to make the Con-
gresham a cash offer for his
share of the practice. This his
financial condition compelled
him to take, and he now be-
came a legislator entirely de-
pendent on his pay. The fact
that he was no longer a lawyer
practicing in his home town
didn't do him any good there
and his former partner, running
as a New Deal Democrat in
the first Roosevelt landslide,
whipped him to a fare-you-weu
for his seat.
Now what he should have
done was to go home, reopen
his law office and attend to
local knitting. But both he and
the lady still possessed the
wrong perspectives as regarded
themselves. So he opened an
office in WaShington-and
sought to stick his spoon in
the gravy that is so often spread
by "the interests" before lame
ducks with good records. But
the trouble with our friend was
that he didn't have a good
record-either with the inter-
ests or with the horde of other
lame ducks who were swapping

flannel, obviously cut a dozen
years before because they were
almost skin-tight. They were
also well-worn. His shoes were
well, he had pride enough to
have them Shined but had they
been mine I should nave thrown
them away long since. All in
all, here was poverty trying to
put a bright face on things.

were managing a small apart

lived rent free. He had a desk
