hogs and the reds, The rent hog
opposes It because he never wants
to spend anything or pay any taxes
because he Is n leech on the COM
munity. The reds oppose II be-
cause they haven't anything and
they want to divide II with every
one else. The good Americans ---
the home loving men--in labor or
gaizatiOns are for 1t. II is the rad
