Political Observations
of Downtown Solon
For the Inst 32 yenrs, in which I
hn,Vd had something to do with city

usually got what it needed.
Politics and offlcinl business seem
to bo drifting In the right direc
tion. It Used to be a question of
factional fights and when you
Wanted money you went to the
powers that be.
Even when I feel that a friend
is wrong I do what he has asked me
to do because ho is mv friend.

FACTIONAL TIGHTS ON WANK
He then philosophized on politics "I
believe the time has come when you will
begin to get everything sou are entitled
to, because It Is light," ho said.
"Politics and olllcinl business seem to
be drifting In the light direction. I don't

"I know It was my business to pnss it

WASHINGTON". Jan. 2:. Armor pale

Tho mnntifactnrcis had come before tho
committee at tho request of Senator Pen
rose to crlve tholr tensons for thinking
tho Government should not go into com
petition xxlth thorn l-'rom the llrst, Sen
atorn I'olndcxter, Sxxnnson nnd Plttman
queried them on cost. Tho mnnufactureis
alleged this xxns n Untie secret xvhlch they
could not disclose, anil xxhlch it xvns un
fair for the Government to nsk, sluco It
xxa.s contemplating entering tho business.
"This ends the hcnrlng so far ns I am
concerned," snld Senator Pohulpxtor to
the committee. "These gentlemen xxere
given this opportunity to state their side
of the case, and for reasons satisfactory
to them they declined to state n pirt
of It."
Following Polndcxter's suggestion the
armor pinto men offered to give the com
mlttoo members In pilvatc the cost of
production Hut this offer xvns rejected
on a protest by Senator Clapp that ho
would receive no Information as a public
olllcer which he could not communlc.xto to
the public.
President Dinkey, of tho Mldvnlo Com
pany, who xxns speaking for the armor
plate men, then said tho estimate made
by navy officers that tho factory cost of
armor should be about $202 a ton, xxns
very neaily correct. The icnl cost, bo
said, xvns slightly higher. Committee
members said the wanted the aimnr
plato manufacturers' oxvn books and Us
ui es on the business.
