The May 2 1973 editorial page from Cedar Rapids features the latest local opinion columns. It presents viewpoints on civic affairs and community issues with signature voices contributing perspective and critique.
Nixon's Monday night address, coupled with a broad top-staff purge, narrows the gap between appearances and substance while urging tough follow-through. The president accepts ultimate responsibility but insists on impartial probe and a supervising prosecutor from outside the White House to restore credibility.
Linn county supervisors urge changes to the unified court revision bill as counties bear most new costs. They note Linn County faces about 81 000 dollars for bailiffs and clerks and rental fees as municipal courts close July 1 and the state covers judges salaries. They propose directing 50 percent of Cedar Rapids police court fines to the county to help fund the new court, alongside existing shares. Cedar Rapids residents already pay most of the current levy, and taxes would rise to cover the shift.
A reflective column notes citizens dislike politicians yet questions why some seek office. It contrasts raw hunting in ancient times with modern dining habits and cites Walpole Johnson and other voices to frame ideas on power and pleasure.
The Form 4875 tax checkoff for the 1976 presidential campaign fund drew heavy disuse with 97.4 percent of returns not using it. Democrats push to restore page one placement. IRS cites taxpayer privacy. Legislation in both chambers seeks to repeal or fix the checkoff, with action lingering in committee and debates over impact on federal programs.
Theodore M. Bernstein surveys shifts in meaning and usage of foxy and both. He cites examples from common prose to show why both should not blanket two items and how phrases like and as well as fail clarity. The piece notes misuses such as both in improper, ill timed, or ill understood constructions and offers guidance for cleaner writing.
Roscoe Drummond notes McGovern and Kennedy moving back to electable Democratic center politics. McGovern shifts on convention quotas and drugs while tempering aid to North Vietnam and defense cuts. Kennedy plans to honor Wallace in Alabama, signaling a broader realignment.
An essay argues the United States must curb fossil fuel reliance and accelerate new energy sources including solar, nuclear, and shale oil. It warns of overdependence on Middle East oil by 1980, and proposes Antarctic ice cap disposal of radioactive waste, noting the Antarctic Treaty allows amendments and the need for disciplined energy use.
