Before launching' into our main
top!c this week, I want to demon-
strate that if you hang around long
enough you can see history repeat it-
sdlf, case in point: federal revenue
sl aring.
Back in 1967, U.S. Treasury pet-
pie were shocked to discover that the
nation had more moneythan it could
spend. So they started talking about
giving some of this surplus to the
states and called it revenue sharing.
Well, the National Governors'
Conference was not about to pass up
free federal money so it quickly or-
ganized an l 1-member committee
headed by Governor George Romney
Of Michigan. Yes, the dad.
Representing Governor Bill Guy
on the committee, I headed for the
first session at the O'Hare Airport in
Chicago where we hammered out a
preliminary draft and agreed to meet
again in a month.
When we reconvened, we were
besieged by every vice president of
the National Association of Counties
who argued persuasively to include
counties in revenue sh iring. So, to
keep them in the boat, we promised
them a share.
At the next monthly meeting, we
were assailed by the National League
of Cities who claimed to be the back-
bone of American society. Besides, if
we didn't take them aboard, they
would oppose the plan and kill it. So
the cities were included.
Needless to report, the townships
heard of the scheme and demanded a
li

share. By this time, every'conceiv-
able government was standing at the
treasury door waiting for the payout.
But, as President Lyndon Johnson
said, it is better to have them in the
tent peeing out than to have them
outside of the tent peeing in. So we
took them all in.
(When you are around long
enough, you can even quote Lyndon
Johnson. In Lyndon's Johnson's day,
you didn't say pee, either.)
Now this governors process took
about a year, 1968 to be exact. By
that time the Viet Nam war had gob-
bled up the surplus so there was no
revenue to share. But the gears of
government were moving and could
not be stopped. So Congress bor-
rowed the money to fund a 6-year
revenue-sharing plan when there was
no revenue.
There is now muttering in Con-
gress about giving reparati.ons to the
victims of slavery. Pay reparations to
all African-Americans, sort of like
backpay. You can bet that if the idea
moves to implementation, we will
see a repeat of the revenue-sharing fi-
asco.
Every Native American tribe in
America will be filing for a share and
they probably have as good a claim
as the African-Americans. And if
they are not included in the distribu-
tion, they will scuttle the program.
Of course, when the Mexicans
whose land was stolen after the Mex-
ican War hear about this, everybody
south of the border will put in a bill.
These will be followed by the Japan-
ese-Americans who were robbed of
property in World War II.
By the time we tally up all of the
damage we have done, many will just
look at the price tag, tear up their
deeds and head back to Europe.

The Legislature held the bill for a
new ethics program until the last day

To control illegal immigration, the
United States is building a wall while
the Mexicans are digging tunnels and
never the twain shall meet.
We finally have a presidential
candidate everyone can support. You
haven't heard of her because the
Democratic field is so full of other
unknown candidates Marianne
Williamson announced twice before
she got noticed. She is for love and
peace. Who can oppose that?
The people who build bridges re-
port that 10.8 percent of North
Dakota's bridges are "functionally
deficient ."
So you can be assured that 90
times out of 100 you will make it
across the next bridge.
The president of the Board of
Higher Education is wondering how
many chairs should be set up for the
next meeting.
