A Bill That Deserves Defeat in Congress 1910 Editorial
The piece attacks a 1910 proposal to grant federal funds to private institutions in Washington, arguing it would endanger public education and set a dangerous precedent. It warns subsidies to George Washington University could force other private schools to seek federal aid, undermining public control and fiscal equity. It also condemns the broader impulse to privatize public funds and urges opposition to such sectarian endowments. It then shifts to a second topic noting rising food costs over a decade, attributing price hikes to consolidation and supply chain factors, and criticizing policymakers for inaction.
