throat? You might try cyanide
but it's not advisable. But a man
here who lived to tell the tale.
A bottle was delivered to the
door and visitor in the house,
mistaking it for the gargle he had
ordered, seized the bottle, mixed
about tablespoon of its con-
tents with some water and
gargled.
He was interrupted by a horri-

away, explaining it was cyanide

TRUMAN SPENDS, CONGRESS TAXES

President Truman, in his recent APP
peals to Congress for a developing pro-
gram, is in the honeymoon period, propos-
ing many things that will benefit indi-
viduals and, naturally, practically every
proposal meets with the enthusiastic ap-
prevail of those who expect to receive the
benefits.
A little bit later, the White House will
come to the necessity of securing the
funds to pay for the program outlined.
This task will be presented to Congress
and the Congressman will have to find
sources of revenue, which mean in the
long run, increased taxation. This part of
the program will not be so popular.
In brief, the President promises and it
will be up to Congress to pay the bill. In
the long run, the process will enhance
the popularity of the President and de-
tract from the popularity of the tax
levying Congressman. In other words, the
President plays the role of Santa Claus to
the eager beneficiaries and Congress will
be in the role of collector of bills. 1t is
system that cannot lose for the President
and can hardly win for Congress.

Bill Shortage

be improved in month or two.
Chief Currency Officer C. G.
Dickens says special shipment

United Kingdom and the shortage
of the past four months should
soon be ended.
Rumor had it that people were
boarding the currency notes to
avoid the colony's new income
tax. A strait dollar is a bit less
than so u. S. cents. t
