The editorial notes the tax checkoff for presidential campaign financing remains a flop with about three percent of taxpayers designating tax dollars. It argues for continuing the plan, cites benefits growth since 1961, and links debate to party politics while urging broader public participation and possible White House disclosure on Watergate. It ends with a biblical quote from I Peter 2:21.

In 1967 the House refused to seat Adam Clayton Powell citing personal life and ethics. The Powell affair details how the House acted beyond a simple election challenge and the diary of Congressman Andy Jacobs reveals procedural debates over testimony and subpoenas.
The Select Committee recommended seating Powell and censuring him for misconduct with a $40,000 fine and loss of seniority. The full House rejected the plan 222 to 202, Powell remained in office, won reelection, and the 1969 Supreme Court ruling found the exclusion unconstitutional.
