The Theatre Tax
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, has
submitted a bill which proposes a
revision of the tax on theatre tick

Senator Edge, of New Jersey, intro
duced a bill which would repeal the
excise tax on automobiles and Access
%sories. The Senate unanimously
adopted the Reed resolution calling
for an investigation of the general
propaganda designed to influence
legislation. The bill was the out
growth of the Box peace plan award
and agitation for tax reduction and
a soldiers bonus. Hearings are now
under way but it is doubtful if the
inquiry will be worth the expense.
Representative Hills, Republican,
of Maryland, has introduced a bill
for investigation of dry enforcement
and he claims the bill was inspired
by the speech made by Governor Pin
chot of Pennsylvania, before
the anti-saloon league last week, to
the effect that prohibition enforce
ment was the worst scandal in the
nations history. Commissioner Hay
nes denies the allegations of Mr.. Pin
and it is generally believed that
Mr.. Hills resolution will meet a
quick death in committee, as both
parties r DESTROYS of avoiding the
prohibition issue before the election.

Farm Bills
The deluge of bills intended to re
heve the farmer still continues I'M
abated. If only a small percentage
of the measures were considered by
Congress the agricultural situation
would be relieved somewhat. AS the
matter now stands, the legislative
situation is likened to a hunter US
ing bird shot when high calibre bull
lets are needed to bring down the
game. Too many panaceas are of
fered.
Senator LaFollette, recognized
leader of the insurgent group in the
Senate, has introduced a joint reso-
luton calling upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission to reduce
substantially to pre-war levels the
freight rates on agricultural pro- l.
ducts, including live stock, and upon
the materials and implements re-
quired on American farms. l
Mr.. Hoch, of Kansas, Republican,
introduced a less drastic measure
along similar lines. I

duced several bills to amend the In Q

but it is doubtful if they will receive t.

bill to prevent bribery and corrupt d
practices.

featured Intoxicating liquor in the

PAPA SHOW MAMA.

You should have seen their faces,
Going out to the Bowie races,
And from the dope a long shot tried
to pick.
And thought they'd be in clover
III with 81 across the board they'd
turn the trick.
You should have seen their faces
Coming back from the Bowie races
With 2 bunch Of losing tickets they
Thew told how they'd have won
II certain thing they'd done,
should have caught.
They tried to beat the ponies,
But the losers that they picked are
running vet;
And they smiled, and said, tomorrow
II some money we can borrow.
A good long shot will pull us out
Of debt"
But when the Bowie meet was
through
And their debts were coming due,
What they said about the races was
ut may be easy work for some,
But 1t puts us on the bum,
For the way they ran for us was
surely tough"
Now, when a man and wife
Enter in the race OF life
They had better never gamble ON o
chance;
Picking winners seems attractive.
But to lose out Is obstructive,
For the fiddler must be paid by

And 1 no longer wait for ma,

And brushed 1t well and had Il

Thus caused some moth O bitter tear.
