Editorial Page Opinion on Guaranteed Income Proposal
An Our Opinion piece denounces a Philadelphia plan to guarantee 1000 residents a 6400 annual income plus 840 for medical costs, noting corruption in similar programs and warning HUD could approve it. It questions precedent, feasibility, and the idea of subsidizing all with incomes under 7240, urging withdrawal and caution in a turbulent administration change.

The High Cost of Being Poor Reported to Congress
A Puerto Rican woman told a congressional subcommittee she would face 10 cents extra for a dozen eggs 20 cents more for a pound of hamburger and two cents for a loaf of bread. The committee found residents are often overcharged with mismarked goods frozen foods half thawed and predated items on display. Greater overheads pilferage and insurance premiums explain part but not the quality gap. The poor spend 33 percent of income on food vs 23 percent for most Americans. Dishonesty by a few business people and by some customers is condemned as unacceptable. God favors justice and compassion for victims and condemns dishonesty.

Competent leaders shared frontier roots in power shift
The piece compares Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon as two highly capable leaders, both shaped by frontier, small-town origins and steep climbs through Congress to the presidency. It argues their real strength lies in practical ability and instinctive governance rather than image, and notes widespread hostility they faced from entrenched elites. Both are seen as successors in a transition to new, capable leadership beyond mere ideology.
