Editorial argues Kansas liquor price law hurts economy
The court upholds minimum liquor price fixing in Kansas, but the piece criticizes the policy as poor economics.

It claims higher prices do not aid morality or trade and simply boost profits for distillers, wholesalers, and retailers.

Opinion on expensive public displays and royal weddings
The piece argues that costly public events such as a $60,000 royal wedding or a $10,000 publicity float are not shocking when viewed as national publicity. It compares American and British expenditures, noting propaganda budgets and royal ceremonies as government-facilitated publicity that saves elected officials effort, and suggests such extravagance can seem inexpensive next to massive TV spectacles.
