Welfare Scandal Claims Threat to Economic Strength
A conservative critique links rising welfare costs to political manipulation. The piece cites Maryland up 50 percent and Massachusetts abuses uncovered by a state House Welfare Committee probe in Springfield. Examples include a recipient using 10 names to collect $18,000, airline tickets for fake returns to Puerto Rico, moving expense checks, bedspreads and sheets funding, and a student exploiting vouchers for two months in Europe. The author accuses liberal politicians of diluting accountability and wasting taxpayer money.

Conservation Needs Inventory flags land under pressure
A government survey covers 3 087 of 3 135 counties. It finds cropland down 10 million acres since 1958 while population rose 24 million. Pasture and range lost 3 million acres, urban expansion up 11 million, and 9.5 million more acres added to forests. Yet three fifths of cropland and large shares of pasture and forestland lack proper conservation.

Trudeau Acts For Good or All
Don Oakley argues that democracies must sometimes adopt totalitarian tools to survive threats from internal radicals. Citing Lincoln’s habeas corpus suspension, the piece backs Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau’s hard line against Quebec separatists as necessary, warning against leniency or blackmail and predicting future vindication of both Trudeau and democracy.
