Carl Magee

Carlton Cole "Carl" Magee was an American lawyer and publisher. He also patented the first parking meter. [* "70 Years Ago. Tick Tick Tick." "Smithsonian." May 2008 page 18.] He was born in Iowa.

Magee founded the "Magee's Independent" in 1922, which would change its name to the "New Mexico State Tribune" in 1923 and the current "Albuquerque Tribune" in 1933. He was important in bringing the Teapot Dome Scandal to the fore. [ [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118574808780081653.html?mod=hps_us_editors_picks Crossen, Cynthia. When Parallel Parking Was New and Meters Seemed Un-American. in "The Wallstreet Journal." July 30, 2007. ] ] He was the paper's editor until he was transferred to the "Oklahoma City News".

Magee switched from Republican to Democrat and ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate.

He is best known in journalism today for the E.W. Scripps Company motto, adopted from Dante for the "Albuquerque Tribune" and which is now carried by all Scripps chain newspapers: “Give Light and the People Will Find Their Own Way.”

Magee died in El Paso in 1944.
