or course everybody who travels in
these days knows that railroad fares
are high Ohanks to the criminal
Esch- -Cummins law but those code
bill parasites must have travelled 20
the moon and back in order to pile UP
a SG1,OOO bill for railroad fare.
OF course everybody knows that
auto hire is expensive in these days
when the Rockefeller interests appear
to have such a strong grip on the adj
ministration at Washington. and upon
many state governments, but now TO
discover that i'm the short period Of
seven months those codc-bin parasites
drew from the state treasury a sum OF
money which would purchase 100
Fora=-wcu, that is speeding along
the financial pathway so fast az to
make an average citizen dizzy
OF course all white folks who pa
tronizo restaurants and hotels in these
days are well aware that such enter
taiumcut pulls on the pocketbook but
it puzzles most OF us TO even begin to
understand how those codc-hill para
sites could have slept and swallowed
away the enormous sum Of SG1,oOO in
seven short months.
Since nobody knows how many
code-bill parasites are now on the
state pay roll, it follows naturally
that nobody knows just what is meant

nance officers report. do not know
how to begin understanding that inn
mcnsc charge Of $4,000 which the
code-bll parasites drew from the
state treasury for personal items
Did the bill include cigars for the
parasites? Did it include silk stock
ings for the lady cousins Of the para
sites?
And there is modest little item Of
| $4,000 on account Of "miscellan-
eous" That is a big word. capable
Of covering a multitude Of extrava-
gances on the part Of the code-bill
parasites One time Jim Glbberson and
his wife started on a tour to a far
! country. Each was to keep a daily
account Of money expended, showing
clearly for what purpose each dollar
or dime OF expense was incurred.
After the third day Jims diary began
to show some entries not quite clear
to his good wife. She demanded an
explanation regarding an expense item
which was listed: For b. c., $34.5O."
Jim suffered and stammered, and
then his wife was positively certain
that Jim had been buying some pretty
things for a pretty blonde named Betty

two hundred and fifty miles over

the ride on horseback. All were en-

and continued on their way.
They came ont OF the Big Horn
mountains along the top of the main
range over the Badwater and Bear
Creek divides. down Dry Powder
River to Poison Creek and over the
Rawlins trail to the Union Pacific.
Kid Curry and his brothers were

"The American public has become
apathetic to the condition of the

of sight and apparently forgotten. The
American Legion has done its best to
