It's been my privilege to see th at nothin' goes to waste. . . . a n ’ when a feller boosts me, from the bigness in his heart, I tell him th at I ’m “ much obleeged.” . . . I allers * do my part. T IP S ^ I get in a mud-hole— an ’ my neighbor pulls me out. I ’m apt to do the same fer him —it’s only turn about. . . . I never let a favor pass w ithout a recom pense, as any other man would do, th a t’s got a lick of sense. . . . But, when it comes to givin’ “tips” there’s a principle at stake. . . . T h eir blame extorted hand-out is a holdup an’ a lake! I try to pay my hired help the wages th a t’s their due. but as to furder dividends, I ’m a tight-w ad through an’ th ro u g h ! They bait me in the varnished kyars, an’ places where I cat. . . . They flatter me from every hand—you never seen .A . the b e a t! They even call me "S enator” when I am of f the range,—and th a t’s why I'm so devilish slow in p artin ’ w ith my change! O L K S are funny w hen it comes to ru n n in g their common business You think you run your busi ness p retty w ell I think I run m y business p retty well W e all like to think we run our own individual business about as well as it can be run. W e live p retty well and all said and done we are all p retty auccetsful. Yet we com plain bitterly about taxes. Taxes consume much of our incom e which, could we use it for ourselves, would greatly multiply our pleasure, increase our com fort and em bellish our joys In life. W hy should we have burdensom e taxes? W e don’t have to have them unless we w ant them. W e com plain about taxes as if they were being imposed by some tyrannical im perialistic m aster who has us by the throat and at whose feet we are helpless. , W h a ty s the g o v e rn ^ -n t* I'|»e governm ent is you ^ a n d I.—w e who think-ourselves so deucedly sm art, such cICver business rRvn. W hile we boast of our ability to run our individual business we complain again st our u tter inability to wisely adm inister our com m on business. Contem plate the post office W ith all its faults it is a w onderful institution.—more wonderful than any private business It is our com mon business. Your business and my business is absolutely dependent upon it. and we run it so well that me can send a letter from Chicago to San Francisco for tw o cents.
