FEET OF CLAY
A gentleman from the Pacific Coast who had to spend some time in Washington, D. C- recently, trying to get cnsideratoin of needed harbor improvements for his community. came home a disillusioned man. He said:
“Every move made in Washington is based on politics first—facts second.’’ That is a pretty rough statement but the evidence leads one to believe that is not too much exaggerated.
A late and glaring example is the very evident swapping of votes by the “Civil Rights”—“Hell’s Canyon” Senators to pass their pet bills. Apparently principles involved in both issues were of secondary consideration-lawmakers on either side could change their votes as easily as a snake can shed its skin.
:t is a sad experience for a citizen to see the feet of his public servants whom he has considered a cut above ward politicians, suddenly turn to clay. Who would knowingly have dealings wth a man who followed these tactcs in private business transactions?
