The Senate committees promptness
In eliminating some of the features of
the House war-tax bill tends to show
that Representatives fully expected the

THE MOTORISTS HYMN OF HATE


There Is a squire In our town
And he is thunderous wise,
He sits behind a bramble bush.
A spyglass to his eyes,
And takes the numbers of the cars
That pass before his sight,
Then notifies the owners
To appear on Friday night,
You pony up and do not swear,
But go your humble way,
Because he is the Law and you
Are only there to pay
SO that your contribution
May add to the amount
which gives to that old rascal
4 bulky bank account.
| do not thirst for carnage,
am not quick to hate,
But this is what I'd like to do
To that wise magistrate
I'd like to creep behind him,
And take him by surprise,
And shove him in that bramble bush
And scratch out both his eyes.
