...have "democratism" [May 25], is it not because Congress has so persistently lost face with us by enforcing the will of minorities, at our expense? We have inflation because Congress insists on spending, spending, spending, to gratify special interests. We have billion-dollar mountains of farm surplus because that woos the farm groups.
