We could weep over Che defeat of the Coun-
ty Assessor bill. So could the state tax Com
mission. But it probably won't. Instead it will
prepare for renewed attack on legislativeforces
to get the bill onto the statute books during the

Texas Guinan says "The joy give the tired
world does more good than all the harm that
can be done by bad GIN" Either Texas overrates

Congress has passed a deportation bill de-
signed to free America of foreign criminals
A vast share of the gangsters and lawbreakers

useful members of society. They should be
kicked out as soon as they are found out. Ameri-.

o. o. Mcintyre who struts up and down
Broadway New York and then writes columns
of blurb about his meandering writes
"A New Yorker in high shoes is an
oddity. On the coolest days last winter,
