IF YOU DIFFER, WRITE
IT DOWN FOR PRINTING
NEW YEAR, 1935!
Although The Miner has at
tacked the Townsend old age
pension plan of giving $200 each
month to every person 00 years
of age, this paper welcomes any
arguments written by readers
who may differ from this stand.
The Miner has been sincere in
its opposition to any such fan
tastic scheme for saving the
country, but realizes that, after
all, its editorials represent the
opinion of one person only. You
all are invited to express your
own opinions for publication,
and communications concerning
the Townsend plan, or any other
pertinent subject, will be wel
comed.
By J. 0. REYNOLDS
The New Year’s day will soon be dawning,
When new resolves should be a-borning;
My chance comes then and I shall grab it
To resurrect this old-time habit.
Booze costs too much these days, I’m thinking,
So first of all I’ll cut out drinking;
Tobacco also, I shall banish
Before my dwindling nickels vanish;
For coal, I will not spend a penny,
While wood holds out, I wont need any;
I’ll buy no spuds, or beans, or flour,
At least till present prices lower;
Bacon and eggs and sweetened tea, too,
Shall be discarded from my menu;
I’ll even quit hot-cakes and honey
And see if I can save some money;
Without the fraction of a flutter,
I’ll cut out meat and fish and butter;
I’ll eat no garden stuff in season,
I can’t afford it, is the reason;
I’ll have no fruit upon my table
That bears a profiteer’s label;
I’ll wear no linen shirts or collars,
I’m out this year to save the dollars;
Neckties, though really inoffensive,
Shall be renounced as too expensive;
I’ll spend no coin on moving-pictures,
I’ll go, instead, to hear free lectures;
As I think back, my anger rages,
How I’ve let others spend my wages;
In future, if they only knew it,
I’ll turn a trick and beat them to it;
I’ll fix my future nice and sunny
With oodles of adhesive money;
And those who growl, both good and evil,
May go, gosh dern ’em, to the devil.
By quitting drinking, smoking, feeding,
And at my daily labor speeding,
I someway have a strong impression
I can keep step with the procession.
I’ll surely make new rules a-plenty
On New Year’s day—no less than twenty.
Often nothing Is the most elo

3 RETAIL BEER
APPLICATIONS
Fourth Applicant Awaits
Blanks from State
Liquor Board
Three Jacksonville applicants for
retail beer licenses were given the
official nori by city dads in a
special meeting held here Wednes
day night. They were applications
of Ray Wilson for the Nugget
confectionery, Harold Reed for his
card room, and Sally Cole for the
Marble Corner. Miss Cole also re
ceived favorable council action on
her restaurant license application,
which provides for the serving of
beer and wines with meals.
Action on the application of Mrs.
Amy Dow, for Ainy's Place, was
postponed due to failure to se
cure proper blanks, and the mat
ter is expected to be taken up
before council next regular meet
ing night, January 2.
It was brought out during Wed
nesday night’s meeting there had
been no complaints received by
city councilmen, nor reported by
the state liquor control commis
sion, against the three applications
which were passed for considera
tion of the state commission, but
that several complains had been
lodged against the application still
pending. It was understod by
councilmen that the state liquor
commission would follow recom
mendations of city councils and
county courts who pass or reject
applications.
The special meeting closed after
a brief discussion, and Jackson
ville’s officials will gather to suc
ceed themselves next Wednesday
evening, January 2. Following
week they will assume duties pro
