it. But, for the matter of that, city
people would appreciate it, too, and
we'd like them to be able to buy it,
for we'd appreciate a little money
so as to be able to pay our interest
and our own and the rightful share
Of the rich mems taxes.
I never saw such a mess as this
country is in. The Democratic pan
les always were considered bad, but
I don't ever remember one that
half way equaled this Republican
depression.
Democratic panics always were
just plain Democratic panics, with
out any frills or excuses, but this
Republican panic is called a world
depression. You always can trust
the Republicans for getting out OF
all the shame and disgrace of a
thing like that by calling it some
unheard-of name and laying it on
somebody else. This time it's laid
on the rest of the world and called
a world depression.
There may be panics in other
countries and they probably know
who is to blame for them, the same
as we know who's to blame for ours,
but I allow other countries don't
much appreciate shouldering the
blame for ours.
If everything in our country was
prosperous and everybody had
everything he needed, and a lot Of
the luxuries which he should have;
in other words, if the goose was
hangin' high here in our own
country, I don't believe the Repub-
Leans would say the rest Of the
world was deserving the credit
for it.
There are those in this country
who are to blame, for all this trou-
BILE we're having and it isn't the
farmer nor the laboring class nor
the merchants. Let's be honest and
quit kiddin' ourselves.
Let's quit passing the buck. Let's
face the music and call a spade a
spade. Let's place the blame where
it belongs and leave the rest Of the
world out of it.

Editor Times-I feel very much
like Eugene Martin, state repre-
sentative of Fl. Wayne, that there
are too many such judges as the
one who exiled the 13-year-
how. They should be removed.
I also feel that our Governor
should be looked after and not al
lowed to waste so much Of the peo-
pies money. Farmers are taxed
beyond all reason. Why should we
sit tight and pay unreasonable
taxes? I work beyond my strength
to try to keep what little have
worked so hard for.
I only wish that could have the
opportunity to talk and explain to
an honest and upright official how
I, as an American citizen, am i'm
posed on. We have far too many
crooks in Office. Kick them out
and give them the proper works.
Too many burdens are heaped upon
those less able to stand them.

Editor Where does this
IKE Abashed" get all this high
minded stuff about the exalted sport
OF fishing?
Since when did it hurt a sinner
more to be yanked gasping out Of
a man-made fishing pool than out
Of God-made river2
If Ike doesn't like wieners and
pop and insured fishing" let him
slop along the "crick" to his hearts
content. And if the "empty-stom-
ach" half of flsherman's content
ment doesn't suit him. he can wade
in to his neck, can't he?
There are thousands Of "city
folks" in indianapolis who want to
fish and can't with any success, be-
cause Ike and his kind have seined,
shared. jigged and blasted to viz
tual determination everything but
