Turn On the Light.

There is one that's right at hand
And right in sight.

For which honest men can stand
Turn on the light!

Any other things we'd ike to know
Investigation ought to show
Turn on the light!
Every Congress votes a billion;
Yes, but what becomes of it?
And is it right
That we spend a thousand million
AID still have a deficit?
Turn on the light!
It's time the people had a look,
It's time that every public crook
And derelict be brought to book
Turn on the light!
While the daily cost of living
Has kept going up until
It's out of sight,
Willing tools TO trusts are giving
Leave to do just as they will -

There is a way to check the greed
Of all that foul, predacious breed
And this is the first and greatest
need;
Turn on the light!

saved his homestead 10 miles from
Harrison, and that he himself had
escaped unscathed. He said 1t was
a majestic AND awe inspiring sight
to stand where he did, about half a
miles from his farm and look on Is
square miles Of solid, cracking,
roaring flames. This view, he said,
could be obtained from q nearby
mountain. The inspector said the
flames got within half q mile Of
his place on three sides, and that
all communication with the outside
world was cut off for several days.
The work Of incendiaries and in.
competent fire fighters was contin.
ually rumored to be responsible for

Finnsy said that although he be-
lieved such things happened, he had
not witnessed any personally.
