from cowboy songs.
So today I am going to saddle
Old Paint that's what I call my
automobile and if you could see 1t
you'd understand why I call it "Old
Paint") and take a look at the
West first hand Being reporter,
I am inquisitive and want to know
if some of the things I have heard
about this part of the country are
true
One of the most popular western
ballads comes out flatly with the
statement that out here the deer
and the antelope spend their entire
time playing. that discouraging
words are seldom heard, and that a
cloud in the sky is as rare as an
insincere handclasp
I question all three Of those state
ments. Something tells me that
somewhere out here there must be
at least one sober minded deer or
antlope who has some regard for
the future, and refuses TO spend all
MS time playing. And as for the
no discouraging words business, you
can't tell me that if I went up to
the chief of police and asked him
if he thought I could make a go
Ct a little counterfeiting plant, he'd
say:
"McLemore, you got something
there. I wish you all the success
in the world"
III have to admit that 1 haven't
seen any clouds but the very fact
that Arizonaonians know what
cloud looks like is proof that there
was one around here at one time
or another
Another thing I want to look into
is the lOnesomeness Of the cowboy.
If the songs that are sung about
them and by them are true, then
they compose the most unhappy,
forlorn group Of workers in the
world Their voices are laden with
sorrow. Did you ever hear a cow
10y sing a lifting, Well-fed and
cCntented tone? I never did. And
I never heard one sing a song with
q subject any lighter than that of
the one in the fine melody, in the
baggage coach ahead.
As far as I can gather from cow
bov songs. Cowboys are always
either freezing from the cold or
passing out from the heat, or perish
ing from thirst or standing by with
tears in their eyes while their faith
ful horses answer the final call from
eating too much loco weed, or
gtepDing into a gopher hole, or de-
Tending their riders from attacks by
wild animals.
Moreover. the cowboy apparently
has to endure all these things alone.
The songs never picture him in a
group with other cowboys. If this
condition is true, think it is high
time the public spirited citizens OF
the western communities, or thI
government, or somebody steps in
and builds play centers for the cow
boys where they can gather Of an
evening and have some fun. or
course, volley ball, bean bag, and
sluffleboard aren't much fun, but
at least they are more fun than
sitting in bunk house, all alone,
and playing doleful tunes on a
doleful musical instrument.
III have to call it a day, now,
pardner. One of the boys from the
Bar B Square T Ranch just rode
over, hell bent for leather, and told
me a band of ruStlers were working
down in coon Gulch.
Pour some gasoline in Old Paint,
boys, and I4i"be right with you.

What happened to the lad who cried,
"Wolf, wolf," is known to the young
est Kindergarten. Solemn warning
to grown up Wolf-cries comes from
the Nations Capital; listen: at is time
we stopped running to the government
every time we get an economic ston-
ach ache. We might do something to
cure it ourselves" AS you have already
guessed, these words of wisdom do
not come from a politician. The mes
sage is from a hard headed Business
man, Mr.. A. W. Spalding, president
of one of the largest Colored Life In
surance Cos. It's Mr.. Spa1ding's idea
that the administration might stop
making laws which put some people
out of Business, start studying the COM
plex problems of distribution.
He says; "The public would benefit
if both Business and the government
would study these problems with the
idea of finding ways and means to
lower costs so that people could buy
more with their money. The govern
ment has said that one-third of the
people are ill-fed, ill-housed, and ILL.,
clothed. Mr.. Spalding views this as a
challenge to business. Fulfilling these
wants is the object of business he says.
He points the way, urging that govern
ment and Business, and Laborers bury
the hatchet-not in each others backs.
A good beginning would be for the
government to take its taxes and its
Business crippling regulation taxes
out of the back of Business.
