officials and straw bosses. The remainder of
the money or the few crumbs that will be left
will go to the productive workers under a stag
ger plan of two or three days work week which
will make the workers an average weekly SAL
airy of Sc to SO per week
What about the $4,000 unemployed in Kansas
City? The number of workers who will gain
anything from this stagger plan will be very
negligible. The projects that are to be built
under this plan are more and larger jails to put
working-class and political prisoners into. a
convention hall so that the crooked politicians
bankers associations. Rotarians, Kiwanises, etc.
can have more comfortable meeting places in
which to figure out bigger and better five and
ten-year plans with which to enslave the work
ing class on larger scale Another of the
projects is more parks, so that the working
class can go there df they have car fare) and
get fat on the fresh air and have bigger and
better grass to eat, and maybe a few flowers to
smell for dessert
Even the little benefits that the working class
enjoy by this project will come out Of the pock-
cts of the workers, by the increased taxation
on the homes of the small home owner.
The Chamber of Commerce of Kansas City
has learned lesson from Chicagos famous
crooks, Mayor Cermak and the Chicago Tribune.
They are going to put on a prosperity jubilee,
such as was held in Chicago after the election
Of Anton Cermak as mayor. This will take
place in Kansas City for five days starting the
9th of June, to celebrate the passing Of the
bond issue. The underpaid overworked, en-
poyed workers may be able to fill their empty
stomachs on this sort of trash, as noisy brass
band or two and some fake political speeches
seem to be able to take the place of food etc.
ESQ the takers try to make us BELIEVED
The Kansas City Times and Star, like all cap
italist papers, are on the job with their poison
propaganda, that the bond issue will bring back
prosperity, and, that since it has passed. tho
people of Kansas City should help in the jubilee.
to bring prosperity back to Kansas City,

That act is a part Of the established policy Of the

Just One Friendly City?'

IL Is altogether fitting and proper that in the search
Tor apt slogans, that Of The Friendly City" should
have tied itself to Austin, the capital city OF what
should be the friendly state Of Texas.
Certainly the city fl which is maintained the seat
OF our state government should be above all else,
friendly In It's attitude to those so many who are
brought within its confines on business bent.
But-jus because Austin has the slogan is no legiti-
mate reason for the confinement OF the practical
workings of that slogan 10 Austin alone.
The Bible tells us that 70 have friends We must
show ourselves friendly. a monition which applies with
peculiar aptness to Brownsville and the Lower Rio
Grande Valley.
We seek friends for our Valley cities. for our Valley
country. Are We, as individuals. as friendly to those
friendship we seek as We would have them be TO us
and to our section7
When we see the stranger within our gates. on our

What are we doing, We average citizens OF the VAL
