On This Day | Editorial Flexing

“Nevertheless, blind Republicanism serves as little purpose as blind faith in Thatcher wheat.” | “These thousands of beer bottles, beer cans, and whiskey bottles lying in the ditches in that one mile are a disgrace to the people of Ward County.” | “The man was fined $50 and the woman $20. Each pled guilty.”

The Ward County Independent, November 26, 1953

Why We Chose It

There are too many reasons to fully articulate. But let’s settle on the fact that a $50 speeding ticket in 1953 is the inflation-adjusted amount of $586 today. The woman’s ticket would be $234 today.
