bill argued that dumping gravel into
chuckholes on the county roads at 80 cents
per day would abolish poverty and pre-
vent another French revolution.
Dibble denounced the bill as socialistic
and revolutionary and tearfully pleaded
that the poor man should not be cast into
slavery with all his sins on his head and
all his rags on his back, unshrlven and
unshaved. The bill, in his opinion. REIN

its taskmasters and Its scourges.
