When the votes were counted; ‘four were forgotten and the fifth almost. We should do likewise and adopt a slogan “Forget. the incumbents’ with the provisq that the newly elected would repeal said law providing the president sign it.

Retired businessmen would seek office only for the honor. and satisfaction of a job well done. This might solve some of our trou;bles:-It has ‘been done in other countries.

If $1 was taken directly from us we would cry to high heaven. A local officeholder who had collected: such money would be called before the grand jury and made to refund the money and he would escape indictment only iff he had good friends on the jury.
