After A Struggle, The Bill W as Paid Mr. dear Sifs: In reply to your request to send a check. I wish to inform you that the present condition of my bank ac count makes it almost impossible. My shattered financial condition is due to ?Federal laws, State laws, | County laws. Corporation laws. Li quor laws. Mother-in-laws. Brother in-laws and Outlaws. Through these lays I am compel!, ed to pay a business tax, amusement tax, head tax, school tax, gas tax, light tax. sales tax. liquor tax. car pet tax, income tax, food tax, fur- j niture tax and excist tax. Even my brains are taxed. I am required to get a business license, car license, hunting and fishing license, truck li cense, not to mention a marriage li cense and dog license. I am also required to contribute to every society and organization which the genius of man is capable of bringing to life; to women's re lief the unemployed relief, and the gold digger's relief. Also to every j hospital and charitable institution in the city, including the Red Cross, | the black cross, the purple cross and the double cross.

President Roosevelt will be forc ed to run for a third term if oppo , nents of his legislative program suc ceed in stopping it, Senator George W. Norris, Nebraska Independent Republican, declared recently. Norris observed that up until now he has always been opposed to third terms in the White House, but that if the people want a man to serve three times he ought to serve. "I don't believe he wants to run for a third term," said Norris "But if the opponents of President Rooae velt prevent his program from be ing put on the statute books, he will be forced to run." Study American Economic Scene The Temporary National Econom-! ic Committee, erroneously labeled1 the "monopoly committee" last week ' began a two year study of the Am-1 erican economic scene. It will bCj the most sweeping investigation of ( business practices ~~ever made m this country. The study, however, is not designed to piliery industry but is purely objective, according to on the-record statements of Committee Chairman O'Mahoney, Wyoming senator. The first witness. Labor Department's statistically-minded Dr. Isadore Lubin, told the commit tee that before America can return i to 1929 prosperity levels, two im- I mediate problems must be solved These are, he said: first, providing; economic security for farmers and investors as well as workers, and, second, ar ise in the standard of liv ing up, held down and robbed until I am almost ruined. I can tell you honestly that except for the miracle that happened. I could not enclose this check. The wolf that comes to many doors now adays. just had pups in my kitchen I sold them and here is the money ?Selected.'
