Cutting Expenses

eve must cut down ex-
penses," says Warren G., aloud,
and thus he charms the senses
of this tax-weary crowd; be-
meath our load we've drifted,
and hoped to see it shifted; we'd
like to see it lifted before we
draw a shroud. "What is the
use of working?" the heartsick
voters say; "the tax collectors
lurking to take our roll away !;
he watches what we're earning,
tax hunger in him burning, and,
when from work returning, he
jumps US for our pay. What is
the use of saving?" the weary
workers cry; "of pinching and
of shaving, to put a bundle by; !;
the tax collectors waiting, his
zeal is not abating, we hear his
teeth a-grating, he looks on us
as pie" The heavy burden
never will from our shoulders
drop unless there's an endeavor
to make expenses stop; the
foolish bonehead spending, the
wanton waste unending; and
Warren's slogans lending some
hope to souls that flop. 1--WE
must cut down expenses" No
wiser words been sprung since
Adam built his fences, when this
old world was young; until that
creed is taken, and wasteful
ways forsaken, we still must
lose our bacon, by tax collectors
stung. WALL MASON.

not perceive II he had inflicted
wounds.
