SouELcH THE KNockER

There is no creature on earth so
contemplate and generally low-down
as the chronic knocker Unable to
accomplish anything himself, he
hunts out others of his kind and or
sani2es a sidewalk committee for the
purpose of knocking the results
achieved by better men who are real
ly doing things. Being too lazy or in
efficient to have a business of his
own, the knocker interests his
puerile mind in the business of his
town, of his neighbors or of anybody
else who chances to come before his
attention. In his eye every public
official is an ignoramus or a crook.
He can tell the President how to run
the government, the Governor how to
run the state and, when other fields
of criticism are temporarily barren,
he even feels no compunctions in
complaining about the manner in
which God Almighty runs the uni.
verse.
Men OF that type often serve to pre-
vent better citizens than themselves
from taking active part in the opera
ton of local or community affairs. A
man of really worthwhile ability has
so many important interests of his
own it is matter calling for self
sacrifice when he consents to take
active part in the government Of his
own town. He is obliged to expend
on such duties time which could 9TH
erwise be used to his own advantage
by furthering his business and per.
sonal ends. Naturally, such man,
when he has expended hours and per-
haps days of hard work and careful
thought to serve his town to the best
of his ability, feels that he Is en-
titled to something better than the
carping criticism of men who do lit.

curb and street corners.

Almost any family can support six
hens, even at the present high cost Of
living. And If any considerable pro-
portion Of families should maintain
that many hens, the price Of eggs
would tumble merrily. Let's all try
this on our backyards.
The man who would fall for the
kind of confidence game the visiting
crooks usually put up is in the same
class as the fellow who paid SIS for
reserved seat to see the end of the
world. The gullibility Of people, how.
ever, is amazing, and 1t is surprising
how many people swallow the bait Of.
fered by these slick citizens.

RECREATION PERIODS
RAISE

MARLBORO, Mass, Apr. al
Smoking and chatting periods have
been introduced at a local shoe fac
tory in an effort to increase eff
cheney. Several ideas eliminating
unnecessary processes have been
adopted and other suggestions aimed
at time-saving are being tried out.
Some Of the operatives, 1t is said,
did not take kindly to the expert
ments and we're wondering obviously
what the next attempt Of the man
agement to obtain a shortcut to pro-
duction would be. 1t came In I'M
expected form and the employees are
now discussing the latest idea over
their pipes and their knitting ION the
company's time"
Their speculation yer the next
efficiency plan was answered by the
following announcement: "Produc-
ton must be increased. Quality must
be improved. Beginning tomorrow.

PRESENT AUTO AND GAS FEES WILL PAY
INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF $4,000, GOO ROAD BONDS

Approximately s4oooo,ooo of state road bonds can be issued under a
4o limitation On the present assessed valuation of the state, including
bonds already issued. The constitutional amendment to be voted upon
at the May IL election provides Tor this 40 limitation.
Interest and principal Of the entire 100000 of bonds can be paid
from revenues from auto license fees and gasoline tax, based on conservative
estimates OF that income.
Following is an official estimate o. the income to the State Highway
Fund from auto license fees and gasoline tax, compared with interest and
principal requirements for the entire 100000 of state road bonds.
This table has been audited and certified by Whitfield, Whitcomb s Co,
certified public accountants, whose attestation is subscribed below.
1t verihes the claim made that voting for the 40 state road bond limitation
sl not involve any tax on property, as principal and interest will be paid
from the auto license fees and the gas tax, leaving an actual surplus above
the amount required.
