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.

Number 52 By C. M. Payne ¡REAPER STALKS ON APPLEGATE COUNCIL OKEHS 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 longed another term by November elections by appointing city mar­ shal and watermaster for 1935. Mrs. Lula Saulsbury, was recently appointed city treasurer to suc­ ceed the late C. C. Chitwood.
