drifting since then more of q
creature of hunger than a man.
T tried to peer into the future. I
Il tried to see the Terry Dono-
ghue of tomorrow.
Though I strained my eyes, all
I could see was the wild, haggard
face across the fire.
He'll" 1 almost shouted. I'm
not going to stay on the bum"
My companion was startled.
Then he laughed.
"Yes-I used to say that. just
before I went on the heat"
Il mean it," I said. II mean
it,"
I had stood up. I grabbed the
old bum by the shoulders.
DO you hear that?' 1 demand
ed. Il mean it,
A whistle sounded in the dis
lance.
That's the manifest" 1 said. I
was cool now. I'm catching it.
Fast freights for me from now
on, Bo. III be in New York in
three days. Back on Broadway
no! Back on Avenue B. I'm 60
ing to take up where I left off.
I'm going TO stick to the old
place. If I'm going to lick the
country I'm going to do it a small
piece at a time. I'm starting with
the old home town."
I let go Of my companion and
ran off toward the tracks. AS I
ran 1 heard again the cackling,
hooking laugh.
TERRY DONOGHUE is back
l. in New York. He's living in
an apartment in Avenue B. 1t is
not extensively furnished, but it
is clean and neat.
The food his wife cooks is mex
pensive, but it is tasty. He has
sold a number of articles, he has
signed a few contracts and some
fiction is coming out of his type
writer.
His health is excellent, and
his literary career is more promis-
ing than it has ever been.
But the thousands of men that
~Donoghue knew in the jungles,
hundreds of thousands he did not
know-all are still on the bum, a
vast army scattered over the
country.
They ask for Jumps" and "set-
ups at millions of doors. They
stretch like an endless breadline
across the nation.
They want food, they want shell
ter, they want work. Sustenance is
their greatest need; the ~restora-
ton of their confidence and self
respect is a need almost as great.
The closing of eyes will not re-
move these thousands from the
scenes any more than sleep could
remove Donoghue's hunger.
Donoghue's series has not been
conceived to aid any particular
charity drive; it has not been
published to advance any partic-
ular economic reform.
1t is simply a graphic picture of
a huge wound. On the treatment
of this wound will depend whether
the country will bear a scar that
may take a generation to outgrow.

VXTE were the army of defeat.
w Aimless, homeless, had hit
the coast. Detected by nature
and man, we had joined the end
less circle of starvation. We were
back in the box cars again, whim-
pering at back doors, pleading in
the streets. Male and female,
young and old, thousands and my
self.
We were sifted and strained at
almost every stop. In the jun
giles of Cotton we lost two men
one for murder, one for robbery.
In Idaho a government officer
clambered over our tangle of
bodies in the bottom of a South
ern Pacific gondola.
His light flashed in each face;
he took four men with him. In
inland and Yuma the bulls came
again, prying into our sleep, bat
tering questions into our dazed
heads.
Days and nights, mile posts and
stations passed. Sometimes there
were stops long enough to allow
us to beg a meal; sometimes there
were not.
For a day and a half a bony
Texan and I went without food;
at last he could stand it no longer
and ripped a board from a REFER
ceiling and we ate pears, tart and
gripping.
At Tucson we loafed beside the
tracks. A woman drove up in an
automobile.
Are you men hungry?" she
asked.
Almost unbelieving, we looked
into her face.
TAKE this" she said. 81 went
Il hungry for three days in
this town, and nobody fed me.
Now 1 have my own business, and
every night I bring food down
here"
There were seventeen buttered
rolls. Texas and I ate them, split
ting the odd me-.
Take the Texas Pacific out of
Ell Paso," said the grapevine, the
the vast reporting service that
links up every jungle. Don't
make San Antoine; it's hostile.
Make Fl. Worth and grab the
MOP East"
So we swung to the north. The
faces about me changed from stop
to stop. Ours was an endless,
muddy stream of life flowing
across the continent and back. It
mattered not where one clambered
sout OF where n joined the flow
again.
One man made an impression
on me before he left us. Another
fellow and I had boarded a train
and were working our way along
it looking for an open REFER. A
car ahead I saw a head bob and
disappear. The man with me
froze.
Whats the matter?" I asked.
Fat" he said. Fat just fell
between the cars"
1t occurred to me that it was a
curious incident, not a tragedy.
One man less on the road, that
was all. He had slipped pulling
open the top of a REFER.
Let's get in before some one
else grabs it," my companion said.
In a broad Texas stretch a we'll
dressed fellow showed us a tel
egram stating his mother was
dying in Cleveland.
Tough" we said.
We we're beyond al emotions
all save hunger and fear.
IN Longview, Tex, we met Texas
Il Slim. The grapevine said he
had killed many hoboes.
At gun points he emptied the
train. A score of us we're lined
up along the tracks.
Why didn't you fellows run up
as soon as Nyou got into the
yards?" he demanded. Didn't
you know you might get shot up?"
No one answered.
"WeS, I'll give you something
to remember it by"
Then I spoke up. I thought it
might be one last feeble struggle
against the jungle lie that held

COMMISSIONERS
TABLE PROPOSALS
ON TAX SPENDING
Recommendation to Cut Wages
of County Officials
Called Illegal
WANT ROADS MAINTAINED
Will Make Further Study of
Matter After June Tax
Settlement

Resolutions urged at meeting of.
taxpayers Thursday were considered
by the board of county commissioners
this week and dismissed or tabled
until later meetings.
The commissioners decided to dis
miss entirely recommendations that
they lower the county officials and
county employees salaries rs per
cent and cut the road and bridge
fund $4,000. Other resolutions which
favored eliminating the county agent,
welfare worker and the county en-
gineer's assistant were tabled until
the July meeting of the board.
Feeling that action after the June
settlement of taxes and the number of
delinquencies is compared with other
years will be the wiser, the board
late Tuesday afternoon dropped the
matter until the July meeting.
Tax Suggestions
Board members brought out at the
meeting, that reducing the officials
salaries is against the law of Mime
SOCd WHGIllGT NC IO11S
or otherwise.
John Arends, president of the coun-
ty board, explained that since the
cutting of the road and bridge fund
in recent years, only $4,000 remains
on the levy and if the board were to
cut $4,000 more, there would not be
enough money to keep up the roads.
He pointed out where the county spent
several thousands of dollars condi-
tioning the roads, he does not want
to see them go back to their former
condition.
The resolutions which were hand
ed to the commissioners late Thurs
day by D. L. Crimmins, president of
the tax group included eight recon-
mendations which were drawn up by
Mr.. Crimmins at the close of Thurs
days meeting. An account of the
tax meeting appears on page 9, Sec
ton 2.

A complication of trouble, superin-
