A POLITICAL ISSUE Among the many newspapers which have pointed out the absurdity of the “power trust” agitation by Senator Norris and others of socialistic leanings is the Atlantic City Union, which in an editorial sized up the situation most concisely. After quoting an authoritative state- ment to the effect that the electric bill of household users of electricity in the United States averages only eight and a half cents a day—of which half of the customers pay five cents and the other half pay 12 cents a day on an average—the Union says: “In other words, ten million Amer- icans receive all the advantages of electric power for the price of a daily package of chewing gum, and ten million more receive it for less than the cost of a package of ordinary cigarettes. , “For this reason, the battle over power might be said to be an absurdity. The coun- try is now perplexed by abundant import- ant problems—the tariff, foreign trade, unemployment, overproduction, the rising | cost of government, and the like. Any one j of these problems is of vital interest to all citizens. They must be solved, or social and economic chaos will result.” Compared with the really important problems which the Union mentions, the question of electric rates must ‘appeal ‘to thoughtful citizens’as being ‘an _ insignif- icant, if not entirély ‘fictitious isstie,,raised for political purposes only. “NO FOOLING” (Miami Daily News) Paul Mallon’s backstage observations of the show presented by the house on the bonus bill—he tells about it in News Behind the News today—is far from a flattering picture of congressmen in gen- | eral. He sees the whole play as political trickery—voting now to satisfy pro-bonus constituents and -placating the others later with failure to over-ride a veto, if it goes this far. A similar farce was enacted onee before on the same issue and many, |! many times in handling other touchy ques- tions. By clever manipulation of the record, the legislator hopes to retain friends in both camps, while actually serv- ing neither. It’s “just fun,” the observer of the Washington scene explains, but to veterans who discover they have been “kidded” it may not seem nearly funny enough. It‘is only fair to Florida congressmen to point out that four of them did not in- dulge in the political horseplay Mr. Mallon describes. These were Congressmen Wil- cox, Sears, Peterson and Caldwell. They voted straightforwardly against the meas- ; ure rather than attempt to take one side now and another later, with no benefit to veterans. Only Representative Green of the Florida delegation in the house can be suspected of a part in the trickery. ‘He voted for the bonus:and may have been sincere. We note, however, that he alone of the Floridians was not recorded as vot- ing yesterday when the house passed the | $99,000,000 compromise which would re- | store 29,000 presumptive war, disability to pension rolls at 75 per cent,of,the rate paid | héfore the economy act.
