to the floor.
That celebrated figure in Ameri-
can life, John @. Public" finally
sat down to make out his income
tax. AS he muddled through the
figures under a shaded lamp, he
sneered and Scoffed at all the va
rlous levieS. such as corporation
tax, amusement tax. nuisance tax,
old-age tax and liquor tax. Each
brought more pain.
AS he recited the various taxes
name by name, weirdly costumed
figures representing the imposts
slowly walked behind him and
peered over his shoulder, phantom
fashion.
The income tax, form lO4O,' he
acidly complained.
1T gets bigger and bigger. 1t
has swallowed my exemptions. 1t
has taken $500 off the value of my
wife"
Mr.. Public's Slogan.
Betuddled and haraSSed by the
never-ending category of taxes on
his income blank, a gleam of Ella

he reached the last item, national
defense taxes.

and sailor marched in front of the

A tuneful musical act presented
Little Dorothy, the scarecroW. the
tin Woodman and the Wavering bear
on their way to see the Wizard of
OF. Dorothy was lost, the scarecrow
sought brains, the woodman was
looking for a heart and the bear
was'in quest of courage.
AS each supplicant told of his
hopes from the Wizard, Dorothy
asked:
Can the Wonderful Wizard do
all that?"
The reply came in chorus:
He says he can do anything"
When the oddly assorted quartet
reached the Wizard. he snarled
from behind screen:
What are you doing in my en-
pire? Go away I can lick all four
of you, especially the girl
Before further application could
be made to the Wizard, the screen
was rudeiy torn aside and his keep
ers took him away, to return to his
cell as the disappointed pilgrims
lamented in song:
We've been to see the Wizard, the
wonderful Wizard of Or
He said he was a whiz of a whiz,
If ever a whiz there was
If ever. if ever. whiz there was.
The Wizard of Or is one becoz,
becoz. becoz. becoz. becoz, becoz.
Becoz of the things he says he does
We've been to see the Wizard, the
wonderful Wizard of o..
And hell of a wizard he was"
