Soon after arriving, Bass sold subscriptions for the Eagle, a black newspaper founded by John Neimore in 1879. Fulfilling the deathbed request of Neimore, Bass became the Eagle's editor and publisher in March 1912, a career lasting over forty years until she sold the newspaper in 1951. In 1914, Bass hired and ; subsequently married Joseph Blackburn Bass, a Kansas newspaperman, who edited the paper until his death in 1934. They eventually changed the name of the paper to the California Eagle. The couple had no children, but Charlotta Bass was very close to her nephew John Kinloch, who worked at the California Eagle. Bass ran for several elected offices, including the Los Angeles City Council, Congress, and the U.S. Vice Presidency. She was also a founding member of California's Independe...
It's challenging enough to knock off an entrenched member of Congress in a primary contest. But California State Sen. Bob Dutton probably didn't count on the fact that he would also be picking a fight with nearly a million Realtors. The Rancho Cucamonga Republican is running against Rep. Gary Miller, a 14-year GOP incumbent in the June 5 open primary. The National Association of Realtors political action committee and a super PAC funded by the trade association have spent more than $709,000 on advertising and direct mail supporting Miller, a Diamond Bar resident.
Under the headline, "Racial disparity: All active ethics probes focus on Black lawmakers," the political website politico.com observed, "Not a single White lawmaker is currently subject of a full-scale ethics committee probe. Ironically, despite all the jokes about "Dollar Bill," cold cash and frozen assets, [William Jefferson] was not convicted on the charge associated with the recovered money. He was indicted for violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in connection with allegedly bribing then- Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar and other officials. According to federal prosecutors, Jef ferson was supposed to give the money to Abubakar on his trip to the U.S. in 20005 but the official left before Jefferson made the transfer. Jefferson was accused of taking about $500,000 i...

It makes good copy when two members of Congress from Colorado tell a member of Congress from California, House Resource Committee Chairman Richard Pombo, to stop trying to cram oil shale development down this state's throat. However, it rings hollow coming from politicians who rarely raise a peep about a host of other misguided federal mandates imposed on the West, frequently against our wishes. Pombo has a bill before Congress that, among other things, would help speed the development of the oil shale industry in the resource- rich Rocky Mountain region. But Rep. Mark Udall and Sen. Ken Salazar, both Democrats, last week went on the attack against Pombo, claiming his bill was rushing the state in a direction it didn't necessarily want to go.
Christopher Cox left his position as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission Jan. 16. At the same time his career of public service, which began in the Reagan White House and continued as a member of Congress from California, had its first interruption in almost 23 years. Chris has been controversial at the SEC. People on both the left and the right have been critical of him, and surely it cannot be denied that much has gone wrong with the financial markets during his time at the SEC. I predict, when the story is fully known, that the critics will be proven wrong.

This year we have lost two legendary veteran Black lawmakers, both of whom symbolized the promise and fulfillment of the struggle for political representation in the halls of Congress. Parren J. Mitchell, Maryland's first Black member of Congress, and Augustus F. Hawkins, the first Black to represent the state of California in the House of Representatives, were two pioneering figures who understood power and used their status to address inequities in our society. The lives of both of these men offer an important case study on why who represents us is still important. Augustus Hawkins and Parren Mitchell arrived in our nation's capital ready to work. When President Lyndon Johnson launched his "War on Poverty," Hawkins was one of the administration's most vocal supporters and used his pos...
Eva Havlicsek of the Women's International League of Peace and Freedom, the oldest women's peace activist group in the world, spoke of two women pioneers in US. government: Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to the US.

Last week, when William H. Donaldson resigned as the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, President Bush quickly selected a sitting member of Congress, Rep. Christopher Cox, R- California, to be the new chairman. Because Cox has had an admirable record in Congress and is a fellow legislator, there is little doubt that he will be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Last year, when there was a vacancy in the position of director of Central Intelligence, Bush also turned to Congress and nominated Porter J. Goss, a representative from Florida. Goss was also confirmed without much of a fight in the Senate.
