The Ix)\v Dow n From Hickory Grove . . . With everybody s h o w i n g anxiety ubout jobs after the war, the Govt.,. I reckon, would like ideas. The folks running the she bang for us should know what we want ’em to do. We pay the check, so ought to do some of the ordering. It we care to eat hamburgers versus fillet mignon with mushrooms, we should drop a card to congress, and say so. I am writing mine—open letter— as below. Half or more of us live in smal ler places. The Dist. of Columbia has become so cluttered up and big, that if you live there a spell, you have no idea about what is going on elsewhere—or what people w ant So to make new em ployment and get our Govt, back onto the old U.S.A. basis, I pro pose moving the Capitol. Move it nearer the center of our country —some place like Topeka, Kan sas, or Terre Haute, or Keokuk. A billion dollars is chicken feed today, so tear down and sell the whole outfit, including roll-top desks,etc., at our present capitol. Build a new, clean place—but half as big-out West. That will make jobs—coming and going. With the fresh air of the West —with clear thinking—we could get back in the groove—be the U. S. A. again.
