Soldier Bonus Condemned
Government regulation and control
OF industry to an excessive degree were
denounced as curtailing initiative, with
resultant falling off of production.
Government extravaganza was assailed
as material factor in the high cost CT
living. High taxes, especially the ex-
cess profits tax, were criticized as plac-
ing barrier in the highway of enter
prise and an unjust imposition upon
personal effort. A direct tax on sales
as a substitute was urged by speakers.
The proposed soldier bonus, it was as

with the assistance Of his muse has

in his own relations with the touchy
residents OF this city.
Senior lbanez entered Mexico City a

vieing to see which could give him the
mast caustic farewell Mexico, pre-
pared to doizc the senior, has dis
covered that she doesn't like him at
all. The lack of attraction is mutual.
lhahez doesn't like Mexico.
When word came that the author
of the greatest books in modern Span
lsh literature was contemplating a visit
to Mexico the whole city proceeded to
go wild about him, even before they
saw him. When he appeared in his
own plump person the entire city was
laid at his feet.
Fresh from his triumphs in the
United States, Senior Ibanez announced
