...absurdity that forces Chicago to ask Springfield for everything down to the right to license peanut vendors. That absurdity is also forcing Mayor John Lindsay of New York City-whose $4.6 billion budget is larger than any state's-to go hat in hand to Albany to beg for the new taxes that he believes the city needs. No wonder that, after years of neglect by rural-dominated state legislatures, city after city has learned to bypass the state capital and go directly to Washington for help...

Birchites and Communists are probably bent upon the same goals, the main one of which is the destruction of confidence in our Government. I, too, consider myself a conservative. I stand for the old-fashioned principles of this country and will fight for them, but that doesn...
