Fraternizing Franks and the Lobby Frauds in Washington
The article discusses the franking privilege abuse by members of Congress related to printing anti free sugar and tariff arguments at public expense. It cites press commentary from Globe Arizona Record and San Francisco Chronicle noting both major parties exploited the system. It calls for ending the practice to save government funds and curb wasteful publications. It references Roosevelt’s lack of reform and argues for a sensible, selective public dissemination model used by other nations. It highlights the waste and vanity driving these prints and the potential reform benefits. It also covers Dr. Warren’s phenol treatment for tuberculosis and political reaction to Lane vs Volz Falwell in Texas, with Comptroller Flo promising a statement and possible appeal to the Texas Supreme Court.
