A fragmentary editorial condemns prohibition as taxing the public while praising President Roosevelt's stance on repealing the 18th Amendment. It argues wealth, notably the House of Morgan, exerts undue influence over policy via private favors and tax law, urging public opinion to curb such power and defend transparent governance.
The New York Work-Telegram cites a thoughtful critique of the Morgan investigation. It argues democracy’s foe is the money power which wields influence through publicity and opinion rather than force. The piece warns that a free press must expose alleged scandals to guard democratic duties.
The Clay County authorities slash costs dramatically with court term limits two days, telephone cut, and stripped office supplies. Tax rate falls from 15 to 3 per 1000, $50,000 debt erased, five year road tax suspension, and county crew do road work. Citizens rally as finances improve and redistricting is debated to aid corporations.
A fragmented Florida era column recounts gossip and reflections on public figures. It mentions Zangara and Roosevelt origin stories, Huey Long’s rising influence, and a parade of celebrities from Gable to Hepburn. The piece blends personal anecdotes, literary touches, and era slang in a bustling, gossip-forward tone.
West Virginia editors including democrats and republicans unanimously support Governor Kump's plan to fund the state's deficit through long term bonds. They cite reduced revenue in the approved plan and urge a gradual payoff over several years to protect services and schools while maintaining credit.
The writer endorses the Gazette issue opposing proposals to charge heavy tuition at state colleges in West Virginia. He cites Jefferson and the democratic value of universal public education, arguing state-owned campuses are essential for civic consciousness and that denominational or private colleges threaten public control and equality in schooling.
The column presents opinion pieces attributed to Arthur Brisbane and others, noting the Gazette's stance. It comments on labor, women’s employment, air travel with a robot pilot, stock market trends, navy caps, wage increases at General Motors, Cyrus Curtis’s health, a grim execution, and Adolf Hitler's ideas on women and labor. The tone blends editorial views with stock and politics of the era.
