The curiosity Of the Zoos
talking mynah bird knows no
bounds these days when it
comes to appropriations and
the cup of happiness is over
flowing for its captors.
What about the appropria-
tions? What about the appro-
priationS? I'm hungry, SOS
your old man. Good-by," shouts
the mynah bird and the smile
on the face of He'd Keeper NAL
colin Davis becomes positively
angelic.
MANN'S HAPPY IDEA
Because when the mynah bird
Is in good voice and its curios-
ity becomes rampant, DR.. Will
liam M. Mann, Zoo director,
does not have to worry about
hay for his camels.
Years ago DR.. Mann developed
the most influential two-winged
lobby in America when he
taught a mynah bird from In
dia to shout:
What about the appropria-
tionS."

THE INVASION OF MARYLAND

If David Lawrence knows what he is writing

such federal funds will be forthcoming

the Democratic primary elections seem to be waged
on the idea that United States senator is not sup
posed to have any convictions of his own but is to
follow the president bndly. If these tactics should
be successful, the independence of the United
States would come to an end the result being OBJ
tanned by processes of political immortality through
the use of public funds"
The president himself has raised the question of
political morals" in primary campaigns, but what
he says about others does not apply to himself. He
justifes his invasion of Maryland, and Of Georgia,
but there remains his opinion Of what constitutes
political morality. He is intent attaining his
detectives no matter by what means. His Mary
land candidate would not be promising 100000 900
in federal funds for bridge building unless he had
assurances from the gentleman in the White House
If he were not telling the truth the president would
smack him down.

power to distribute federal funds in his own dis

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE GAME OF GIMME"

We are IN the midst of wide open season for
the victims of gimme"
It is political maady IN sense, In another
It is sort of game. From the standpoint of the
game; however, there appears to be no winner, and
all losers,
Gimme" is simply the practice of those who seek
office to promise those whose votes they want to
give them practically anything under the sun from
$40 n week pensions such as some California can
didates advocate on down the line to $40 week
Job,
The practice has grown in recent years to alarm
ing proportions "You support me- says the can
didate, land I'll give you so and So"
so and so" is about all the promised ones get
in the end. 80"
1t is true there sincere candidates who ad
vocate really constructive ideas but even these
usually Favored literally with the give me" spirit
But. after all, can the candidates. except those
insult the intelligence of the voters, to blame for
all this. Or is it the fault Of guihle voting
public.
1t is amazing how they will stand wide eyed and
open mouthed to drink down the fancy and often
impossible promises poured out by candidate
with gift for CAB. The promises mean nothing to
enough to realize they are nothing but plain pfle
In other instances sheer ignorance dictates such
policy.
But observation leads to the belief that can
didate who does not offer the voters something.
even if it is an impossible something personal and
individual to the voters they stand little chance of
ever reaching public office.
The voting public demands that sort of practice
from candidate and 1t is unfortunately true that
the average candidate is in full accord. 1t is an
easy method of winning votes To promise man
job or substantial pension-a personal, indi-
vidual gain--will gain more votes in an hour than
pledges of constructive and economical adminstra-
ton will gain in months.
But the greatest misfortune to the country
whole of this vicious practice. is that of the
candidates attempt to carry out their fantastic
pedges Some of them which is more unfortunate
succeed at least in part. Thus the millions of gov
eminent expenditures of government funds, public
money, are multiplied
Most unfortunate of all is that the practice is
growing as the gulble voters are multiplied Real
izing what they are facing successful candidates
office holders seeking to retain their offices, vie
among themselves to promise those things which
call for huge spending Usually. by virtue Of the
office they hold they position to carry out
greater number of these expensive promises than
others .I.,..
Where and when Will IT stop
It will stop when the voting public wakes up to
the fact that it is being duped when the climax
is reached in one grand awakening that there IS no
more money to spend,-Shelhy Star.
