UHE one most important thing in high official

form OF the Honorable Joseph G.. Cannon. He has
abandoned smoking. No longer will the famous
long black perfecto be cooked at a rakish angle in
the right corner of the mouth of the veteran law
maker. The press gallery has lost one of its strong

COMMUNITIES that think they are getting some
thing for nothing through a federal appropria.
ton are deluding themselves. In the end the cost
is paid by the people, and the tax is spread quite
evenly. A federal appropriation for one commu-
nifty is counterbalanced by a similar appropriation
for another community. The effort to shift the
burden by paying out Of the federal treasury is like
trying to Eft yourself by your bootstraps.
