has lost his life while violating

I the speed laws on the highways
and city streets should travel at
least 10 miles an hour There is
no use slowing him down to a
walk when he is that near his
goal
OBSERVING the con
AFTER of Amarlllo voters in
last weeks election weve dreamed
up a theory of our own which
might solve the problem of
municipal finance for all cities
j yet to be built At the time of
U Incorporation Instead of establishing
one municipality there
should bo TWO In city No 1
we would group all those persons
ambitious to establish a home
i and business who hope to accumulate
a modest fortune on
which to give their children a
start In life and to tnkc care
i of their own needs during their
1 reclining years and who at the
same time crave the usual niceties
of life such as paved streets
t A modern school buildings and a
hundred other things which
I distinguish us as citizens of the
wealthiest country on the face
1 of the earth Naturally these
conveniences would have to be
paid for so wo would elect
honest capable citizens to assess
each family according to its
ability to pay end to administer
the affairs of the city
In the second city wo would
locate all peisons who have ccas
I ed to grow persons who have
run the race rnd won or have
quit the race for some reason
Also in this city we would place
all the tightwads who love their
bank accounts and property better
than flesh and blood In
City No 2 wo would feature low
taxes Perhaps we might adopt
as its slogan The lowest tax
rate in America Wouldnt that
be an Ideal place in which to
j Alve Of course we wouldnt have
paved streets or sidewalks because
such things cost money
and we dont oon want to have
that subject mentioned In this
city And we wouldnt be able
to have a fire or police department
because such an expend
f ture might necessitate the abandonment
of our slogan Besides we
might work out some system
whereby the citizens could take
a turn at guard duty just like
in the army Someone might bo
inconvenienced but still its
cheap We wouldnt be able to
I have a sewage system or garbage
collection but just think what
wed save Perhaps our first
ordinance would be passed for
the purpose of prohibiting such
money spending organizations as
chambers of commerce In fact
wed have only one association
in this town which we might
call a taxpayers league or
more accurately an anti taxpayers
league
A Perhaps you think were being
iarcastic but were not We
think our plan is sensible Whenever
you have two groups of
people living together but going
in different directions there can
I be no peace nor harmony So why
not isolate the groups so that
each will have what It wants
OF CURIOSITY we are
OUT
wondering if any of you
took advantage of the free
orchid offer which we made
last week Give us a ring if
you did
