FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
Another attempted encroachment upon the free
dom of the press is seen in a reported request of the
Federal Farm Board for action against a small Neb
raska weekly whose editor has dared to criticise the
workings of that body.
The board has asked the Federal Trade Commis
sion and the Post Office Department to investigate
the offending editor.
Regardless of the merits of the newspaper’s criti
cism, it seems that the marshalling of these formidable
government forces against a little country weekly is a
rather ridiculous proceeding.
With many other papers, The Gateway has always
taken the attitude that the board has been assigned to
a task which seems to be impossible. In any case the
board is a public body, and as such is a subject for com
ment, favorable or unfavorable, as every citizen has
a right to make with respect to other public bodies and
public officials, not excepting Congress and the Pres
cient of the United States.
The fact that the board has seen fit to try and
set up such a censorship will be taken by many as rath
er strong evidence that Chairman Legge and his asso
ciates are not sure of themselves. In any event it indi
cates that they are too emotional to handle important
jobs with calm assurance.
THEY SATISFY
There was much under-cover gossip, and stool
pigeon palaver about various U. S. District court
judges and U. S. Marshals who "were being investigat
ed with tht hope they could be removed if certain al
leged rings or would-be political bosses could pull it.
Underground gophering began long ago and many
depth bombs were laid ready to be set off at a given
timt. The bombs were exploded and sounded like a pop
gun.
Political racketeering in Alaska can’t get very far.
Gangland members are too well known. As long as the
good people of Alaska exercise their rights of franchise
few political favorites will be slipped in to the numer
ous juicey offices. With few exceptions the present
lineup of judges and marshals satisfy us.
FINE STORY ON HIGHWAY
If you arc interested in the International High
way which may some day connect us with the States
by auto, it is well worth your time to get hold of the
September number of Touring Topics, the official pub
lication of the Automobile Club of Southern California.
Jn it Douglas C. Mitchell tells of his trip “Through
the Land of the Golden Twilight/' which is an account
of the caravan conducted by Prime Minister Tolmie of
British Columbia from Vancouver to Hazelton over
that part of the International Highway already con
structed.
There are some fine pictures, that give a fore
taste of what is in store. If you can't find a copy local
ly, and care to go to the trouble, you can probably get
one from the editorial offices of Tuoring Topics, 2601
So. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles. Better send a quar
ter to cover mailing.
The 1930 corn crop is poor in many states. The
liquid form is said to be poor in all of them.
In a democracy the people rule, but too often it's
the wrong crowd.
The election produced a good many lame ducks,
but kept an even greater number of political quacks in
Congress.
