Editor's Note: The Sabanna
Creek Philosopher on his
Johnson Grass Farm on Route
2 examines one aspect of the
nation-wide.bribery scandal.
Dear Editor:
Some people have been
Uumfu/zled by one aspect of
the latest scandal sweeping
the country, the one involving
bribery of public officials.
Taking a bribe, now that's
not a no-heard-of, except that
excusing raw cases, it's
generally called a campaign
contribution.
But what has floored some
people is the plight some
officials claim they're in. They
say sure somebody dropped a
big bundle of monev on their
desk, they didn't want it. they
didn't want to embarras the
donor by handing it back to
him right then, so they put it in
a sale andfor three months
have been trying to figure out
how.to return it. .
Some people consider this
laughable, ridiculous. That's
because they don't understand
politics. Although they've
struggled with the problem for
'"ve'a'fs,politicians have failed go
discover the proper procedure
for returning a bribe. There's
no precedent for it. it's an
uncharted course, Robert's
Rules of Order says nothing
about it, and it w ill take time to
work it out. It's not that
they're not working on it, and
you'll recognize they've solved
‘ half the problem. They 'vt
learned how to accept the
money, they just haven't
figured out how to return it.
There's an opportunity here
nice party at her home on
February 14. She is the
daughter ofRicky and Tenia
Koonce. " ' .......—

Unwanted Bribes. The bill wili

perhaps around the turn of the
century. Which century is

Yd there is an even more
serious problem resulting from
the FBI's posing as rich oil
