Sullivan Reek Is slated to be
Provincial Commissioner; that
leaves the office of District Com
missioner . for , Vermont-New
Hampshire empty, and I'm one of
the people; being seriously con
sidered. I ve done a lot of speak'
Ing for the Corpos, and-1 know
Dewey Haik very! well I. was
able to advise him about erect
ing public buildings. Of course
there's none of the County Com
missioners around) here that
measure up to a district commis-
sionership not even Dr. Staub-
meyer certainly not Shad Le-
due. - Now if you could see your
way clear to throw in with me.
your influence would help"
An Ideal Convert
"Good heavens, F rank, the
worst thing you could have hap
pen, if you want the job, is to
have, me favor you! The . Corpos
don't like me. Oh, of course they
know I'm loyal, not one of-these-
dirty, sneaking anti-Corpos, but
1 never made enough noise in the
paper to please 'em."
"That's just it, I Remus! I've
got a really striking idea. Even
if they don't like you, the- Cor
pos respect you, and they know
how long you've been important
in the State, e'd all be greatly
pleased if you came out and
joined us. Now just suppose you
did bo and let people know that
it was my influence that convert
ed you to Corpoism. That might
give me quite a leg-up. And be
tween old friends like us. Remus,
I can tell yon that this job of
District Commissioner would be
useful to me in the quarry busi
ness, aside : from the social ad
vantages. A,nd if I got the posi
tion, I can promise you that I'd
either get the Informer taken
away from Staubmeyer .and that'
dirty little i stinker,' Itchitt, and
given back to you to run ab
solutely as you pleased provid
ing, of course, you had the sense
to keep f r o m criticizing the
Chief and the State. Or, if you'd
rather, I think I could probably
wangle a job for you as military
Judge (they don't necessarily
have to be lawyers) or maybe
President Pearseley's job as Dis
trict Director of Education
you'd have a lot of fun out of
that! awfully amusing the way
alt the teachers kiss the Direct-
or's foot! Come on, old man!
Thinks of all tbe fan we used to
have in the old: days! Come to
your senses and face the inev
itable and join us and fix up
some good publicity for me. How
about it huh, huh?" i
Doremus . reflected that the
worst trail of a revolutionary
propagandist was not risking his
life, but having to be civil to
people like Future-Commissioner
Tasbrough. ;,; ' t '
He supposed that his voice was
polite as - he muttered, "Afraid
I'm too old to try it, Frank,"
but' apparently Tasbrough was of
fended. He sprang up and tramp
ed away grumbling, "Oh, very
well then!"
"And I didn't give him a
chance to say anything about be
ing realistic or breaking eggs to
make an omelet," regretted Do
remus. i .
Malcolm Cuts Sissy
The next day Malcolm Tas
brough, meeting S 1 s s y on the
street, made his' beefy most of
cutting her. At the time the Jes
sups thought that was very amus
ing.-? They thought the occasion
less amusing when Malcolm
chased little David out of the
Tasbrough apple orchard, which
he had been wont to use as the
Great Western Forest where at
any time one was rather more
than likely to meet Kit Carson,
kodiq Mooa, and colonel Lind
bergh hunting together.

Why Vote No ---License!
Many Promises Were Made to Us When

Not One of Those Promises Has Been Kept!
' , . " .
1st. We were never to have the saloons backr
- ! ' " ,
We have them today and worse than ever. We never
used to have women and girls as bartenders and patrons
of the saloon. How Is It todayj
2nd. We were to have no more bootlegging. ":
The government is spending more for enforcement today
than it ever spent under prohibition, and yet Mr. Choate
said after three years as head of the Federal Alcohol
Control Administration: "Half of the spirits consumed:
in the United States are from illegal sources." .
And J. Edgar Hoover, head of the G men, 'reports an
increase In 1935 over 1934 of 20& In arrests for liquor
law violations, of almost 28 for arrests for drunken
driving, of over 72 increase for drunkenness.
The liquor business has always been lawless, and the
license system has never eliminated Its lawlessness. The
only good features of the Knox Law are its Prohibition:
features. :
3rd. We were told that under repeal the revenue
from liquor would pay our taxes, take care of
relief, and the increased business would give work
to alt unemployed. ' '

A What are the facts? The revenue does not at all cover.
the cost that liquor entails upon the taxpayer; -there
are about as many unemployed as there have been; bills
for relief are "mounting; end the government is many.
