What Do You Know?

! That simple question can bring
blush of ignorance to lot of us.
We all consider ourselves wise, on
certain subjects. but have you ever
stopped to consider how limited
our individual knowledge is when
we try to uphold our side of an ar
gument covering some phases of
popular government?
After we get the voting age we
content ourselves with joining the
choir that sings:
| used to think | knew, l knew,
But now I must confess
The more | know | know l know
/ know | know the less.
Just think yourself back in those
good old school days when you
were asked to write theme" or
composition on one of teachers
pet subjects Here is recent
effort that comes closer to the
| truth aud covers the field better
than most of the older heads could
produce:
"TaXiS"
Taxis is sumthin that comes
round regular like meesles and
| choking pocks, only moar SO.
That's all | no about taxis, SO
| / asst paw for sum moar to put in
this here essay, and be sed that
somebody had oughta get busy
| purity soon and see that every
budy got the same kinda deal and
that what was Sass for the Goose
was Sass for the Gander, ct cetry,
He sed the way these here
sessmunts is made now days re-
minds him of the dinkus in the
st. car that SEES In and Out to
show how mulch the conductor is
In" and the companie is Out"
and that they is pile of folks
who don't pay no where near
what taxis they oughta because
sum a-sessmunt methuds is on
the blink which makes sum folks
way In" while other folks is way
Out.
Paw ses that these here ms
and outs is becaws the state tax
commission makes a sessmunt
on the fiscal value, net earnings
and values of stocks and bonds of
companie and gets a numbered
per cent a-sessmunt while actual
hggers shows that the average
value of propertie assessed by the
local assessor don't exseed IS to
10 per cent of its value here in
Colorado.
And SO everybody oughta get
the same kinda deal on assess
munts SO nobudy wouldn't be
"In" or "Out' and everything
wud be fare to everybody, Gus
Presidunt Wilson ses that the
Utilities had oughta have the
same square deal that every man
expects for hisself.
P. S.-Dear teacher, you oughta
give me a numbered on this, Gus
paw ses he can prove its true. So,
please give me a numbered.
