However returning to this matter of gasoline taxation,
there is sound logic in the contention tina the joy riders

Let lis venture prediction: That with the building of

within the twenty-five years, the highway systems
of the United States will be complete that motor
poraticn for smaller eights and for local passenger
travel will be a general rule thereby setting up such
serious competition for the railroads that the government
will be compelled to solve the problem by dominating all
modes of transportation so that the profits will go into
the public treasury for the maintenance and operation of
the rail lines and for the upkeep Of the national high
ways This old world is the move, moving forward,
and whole lot of surprising things going to happen

As Others See 1t
JUST TO FILL UP WITH"


1t is a proverbial fact
That mere people try to graft
Off newspaper, daily or weekly,
Than off all other industries
Were the totals aggregated.
Hardly any one line of business
Is there to be found
That doesn't very frequently
Attempt to work over something
That will prove benefit
At the newspapers expense.
To its good reliable patrons
The newspaper is usually pleased
To extend every possible courtesy
Upon the well-known principle
or III tickle your ribs
IL you'll scratch my back
For reciprocity is ever a winner
or friendship and CT business;
Eac Nha, scizos my nanny
j., to have some neaf-stranger,
o. .ome heary spender
For Publicity somewhere else
Ltr4 r., It lot Of Advertising
Absolutely climate advertising
And ,se-a@t. very unctiously.
!uat as ii granting me a gift
Here's something to fill up with"
The newspaper announces his birth,
Chronicles all leading life events
That are fit for publication,
Recounts all a mans virtues
In collaboration with tn pastor
AS the Final Curtain falls
And considers its duties done
And all free of charge.
That should be wholly satisfactory.
There isn't good newspaper
In all this broad land
But gives freely in each issue
An amount of. boosting stuff
For the city, county, and state
That couldn't be paid for
Because there'd be no way
OF estimating its worth.
Ii measure is contemplated
That means for improvement
The newspaper pulls for it;
If some grower produces
Something above the average
The newspaper gives the details
And slides in more dope
About how it was brought about.
There are a thousand things
The newspaper gladly does
Month in and month out
For the public benefit
With no thought of gain
Save the self-consciOusneSs
OF having done its best;
But the direct advertising
Which some slick fellow
Tries to run over the paper
Is always waste-basketed.
One fine business college
Located some distance away
Sends a pretty catalogue
And says "a nice wrteup
Would be highly appreciated"
And might (mind you, "might")
Lead to an advertisement
when the lists are revised"
The mistake that boss made
Was in not revising" first
Then sending copy for display
Accompanied, of course, by check.
Then he'd have demonstrated
That all his business" acumen
Wasn't confined in the college.
Such grafters make me sick.
Yassum.
l thank you.
