The piece argues that judicial impropriety extends beyond the Fortas case and urges Congress to adopt a bill by Senator Joseph D. Tydings creating a board to handle complaints of impropriety and require federal judges to disclose financial assets and outside connections. It views impeachment as too harsh and supports disclosure as deterrence.

Whisky Ring exposed by former Butler County sheriff
Middletown author Thomas McGehean recounts the Whisky Ring of Southern Ohio, a corruption network with Butler County ties in the 1860s. The ring bribed Revenue Service officers in Dayton and Cincinnati, skimmed tax from barrels, grew to rely on canal boats and a Cincinnati office, and extended to several distilleries before a 1868 tax cut and personnel changes crippled it.
