Which was once my castle in Spain,
But my mind changed when ! entered,
No, never for me again
Sure, it's nice to chase the outlaws,
Ger mountain, hill and dale
But to live on bareback and bacon
Is quite another tale.
Oh yes, its nice to be a hero,
And wear the medals bright
So I'm down in the hills of Mexico
Don't know how long I'll stay
And don't know where I'm going next,
But I'm surely on my way.

For this is not the life for me
For love the cows and chickens.

WHO BEARS THE BURDEN?

More than one billion of the war
tax will be paid directly by the con-
sumner who will afterwards share the
burden of all but the taxes on resi-
dences and individual incomes. But
if the owner of the income be taxed.
isn't he the consumer of that portion
remaining to him? And from whatever
source derived, can't capital always
assess damages on the man below ?
Florida Times-Union.
Not only can, but does. The con-
sumner always pays and always will
pay, both for himself and the man
higher up, until laws are enacted to
regulate prices at the same time tax
es are levied. For instance, when
Jawndee recently gave $25.000,000 to
the foundation, the price of gasoline
Immediately went up cents per gal
Ion: if you tax the sugar magnate,
the price of sugar scars; tax the coal
baron and the price of coal goes up;
hit the railroad and the freight rates
iare increased-and so on. And don't
the consumer, in all cases, pay? Most
certainly, and the little consumer at
that The coal baron is taxed, the
railroad pays increased cost for his
coal, and he Immediately increases
the freight rates, the merchant adds
the increase to his goods and the lit
tie fellow buys them at the increased
cost Makes no difference at what
angle you look at it, don't you forget
it, the little fellow pays.-Largo Sen
tinel.

PITY THE RICH

John D. Rockefeller has subscribed
fifteen millions to the liberty loan,
and we presume that gasoline will
take another cent or two raise.-Lar-
go Sentinel.
Pity the rich Whichever way he
turns he is whacked over the head
and smitten on both cheeks.
If he buys a liberty bond he jumps
up the price os gasoline and forces
the little fellow to pay the price. II
he fails to buy bond he is held up
as unpatriotic and in different to the
welfare of his country.
If he increases the price of gasoline
he does so to increase the burdens
of the poor consumer. If he does not
increase the price he does so to put
his competitors out of business, so as
to monopolize the field and fix any
sort of price.
Perhaps 1t were better so. These
constant digs at the rich-this hitting
them chip and thigh"-may be calcu-
lated to make them feel infinitesimaI-
ly small, and were it not so it would
be impossible for them to crawl
through the EYE" or that needle" in
the last day"
This constant nagging bay be wise
ly ordained
