The telegram opinion argues six months of wage and price controls fail to halt inflation. It criticizes selective application to workers not backed by pressure groups, comparing controls to prohibition and noting widespread faith despite evidence. The piece questions the system of democratic welfare state controls.
Economy Report editor Donald I. Rogers argues that postwar government welfare spending and partial tax increases fail to cover costs, creating deficits financed by more money printing. He suggests prices are unpredictable with millions of price rates, making effective policing impossible and questions if the government is fooling the public.
Norman Karsh argues that moving school taxes to state level fails to preserve local control and would raise overall costs. The piece contends true control lies with federal and state bureaucracies, not local boards, and questions the President's involvement in school financing policy.
An editorial criticizes political donations by businessmen to campaigns and the Lincoln Club backing Nixon. It argues backers finance candidates for their own interests, questions party allegiance, and urges directing funds to charities instead. The piece highlights perceived failures of politicians to honor promised tax positions.
A reader letter mocks the idea of prosecuting prosecutors in ITT hearings. It argues that memory lapses and changing testimonies are normal, not perjury, and explains how lawyers may correct records and refresh memories. The piece ends with a warning about intrusive scrutiny from Washington.
The Telegram cites the Declaration of Independence and Golden Rule to urge readers toward personal responsibility and truth. It argues political freedom grows from individual self-control and quiet adherence to moral law, as the April 20 1972 issue in Columbus Nebraska notes.

The column notes Chief Justice Warren Burger publicly urged Congress to assert authority under Article III to limit or remove judicial review, citing the Three Sisters Bridge case in Washington. It argues this signals a shift toward legislative supremacy and questions the Court’s enduring power amid public acquiescence.
The piece criticizes Vice President Spiro Agnew for labeling historians as biased allies of radical politics. It argues history is interpretive, shaped by methods and bias, and notes Agnew’s examples fail to prove his claims. The author contends strong men miscast history to fit political aims.
