Nixon and the $18,000
This past week's disclosure that the Republi-
can Party's Vice-Presidential nominee Richard
Nixon has accepted financial gifts of over $18,000
* 4?om wealthy California real estate men, oil in-
terest's, lawyers, and othjr businessmen has made
il most embarrassing for the Republican Party
\thich this year is largely basing its campaign on
Corruption in the present Democratic administra-
tion
No matter how much “Dick" Nixon tries to
Stjuirm out of it, the fact remains that he has
accepted money from special interests and has
thereby obligated himself to those special inter-
ests. The very fact that Nixon kept his private
fund a secret for several years before he had to
xj'n fp.'c up when three reporters discovered the
<*:«tewe of the fund, illustrates that Nixon him-
srdf n»pojmfaed that acceptance of the money was
im* m.orallv correct, cr otherwise he would have
***ade nnhlic the fact that he had accepted the
fr*r»H<a «-hen tliev were first put at his disposal.
Bribery is not a pleasant word. It is so impleas-
-■*nt that today it is an outmoded word which has
‘ lf)een replaced by the phrase “influence peddling.”
Sut, for a government official to peddle his in-
fluence for financial return is just a nice way of
Sfivinc that lie has been bribed.
Nixon has tried to explain away the $18,000
ft bv saying that it was used to carry on the
unctlpoa of his office for which his salary as a
‘ nator was not large enough to defray, and that
fh actuality the way in which the money was spent
Saved the gove'rnment the cost of much postage
grid the hiring of extra office help for his activi-
ties. That is bunk.
Nixon knew before fie ran for office what the
salary and expense account of a United States
‘ .Senator was. If he did not think he could get along
Cn such a salary and such an expense account he
should not have sought the office.
Nixon may say that the use of the funds carried
no obligation. Contributors to the fund may say
that they gfive the money expecting no obligation.
But, when people give elected public officials
money, there is implied obligation from which the
receiver cannot escape.
The tragedy of the Nixon case is not that the
l reputation of a "formerly much thought of man
, has been ruined or even that one of the great polit-
1 fcal parties of this nation has discovered itself in
a most embarrassing position. The real tragedy
is that among all Americans, in all walks of life
and in all political parties, a distorted sense of
moral values has crept into our way of living.
The five percenters and the influence peddlers
$re as aetive in the Republican Party as in the
Democratic Party. They are also active every-
where else—in the business world, in the churches,
tn our schools, in our state and local governments,
fnd fn our civic organizations and social clubs.
- The simple moral concept of honesty has been re-
placed by rationalizations to the effect that a
little lie, a little gift, or a little secrecy is all right
if it serves to achieve the best interest.
But who is to say what is the best interest?
A? to corruption, Americans need to recogn' j
End demand that public officials live and carry
On their governmental functions on their author-
ed salaries. In the business world we must have
free-competition in all fields, discarding the prac-
tice 6f gifts and entertainment as a method of
■ telling and obte.ining'business. In our churches
and civic organizations and social clubs, we must
Rave le^s hypocrisy and underhanded gossip di-
rected against others. In our schools, we need
more teaching of the simple fact that honesty is
gtw&TO. best. And it? all government, recognition
ft-O-O-K!
AT THIS PRICE
that secrecy b harmful—that what b right for
some to know i.« right for all the ptiblic to know
with the possible exception of items dealing with
the military defense of this nation.
It is to be hoped that the Nixon case will serve
a good purpose by waking upj;he American people
to the fact that dishonesty is today everywhere.
That the greatest need of this country is a return
to the high moral concepts held by our forefathers
which made this nation the great countiy it is
today.
Welcome to the Fair
Fair time for Grand Saline and Van Zandt
and surrounding counties will be here again this
Saturday. Arrangements which have been made
indicate that this year’s event will be better than
any of the last three, both from the standpoint
of entertainment and educational features.
Grand Saline citizens should be proud of their
fair. It is the biggest community endeavor put
forth each year in any town in Van Zandt Coun-
ty. Lots of work and lots of time has been spent
by lots of people in planning and arranging for
the fair. There will be good exhibits, and there
will be plenty of good wholesome entertainment
at the rodeo, the parade, the old fiddlers’ contest,
and the street dance Saturday night
There will be more visitors in Grand Saline
Saturday than on any other day within the next
year. It is the responsibility of all Grand Saline
residents to help 3how the visitors a good time
and to extend to them a welcome which they will
long remember.
Let’s send our guests home with the thought
which we know to be true—that Grand Saline
is the best little town in Texas. You can help make
this year’s fair a success by attending yourself,
by urging others to attend, and by being courteous
and pleasant to all visitors.

About Freedom
Sometimes we use our freedom badly—forget
about it—trade it cheaply—and fail to fairly give
as much to some as to others. But we know no
people on earth have more freedom, or love it
better, or will fight so hard to keep it.
Listen! Read! Look; Talk! Argue! Think!
Then VOTE—From Dos Falos, Calif. Star.
We note that the Chinese used umbrellas 3,000
years ago, so borrowing must be an old, old cus-
tom.
Grocery Stores to List

Van Zandt County^grocers start-
