"During the past year, the Chamber

ing publicity to North -riatte.,, The

autos. One boostor trip was planned
and carried out which covered a
large part of tho territory of this

$150 toward its expenses; tho High
School Cadet band was given $180
to defray expenses of tho trip to
Omaha and $240 was expended for
tho Fourth of July. Additional road
signs wcro put up along tho Lincoln
highway and others were repainted.

To tho Editor:
I hear that Sammy wants to mako
1 Some laws on gasolino,
To tax us plebes somo moro
And reach down in our jenes..
Gasoline with us today
Has rose to be essential, i
"Without this over ready fluid
"Who could turn a differential? '
Our taxes are plenty high
Beyond what somo can pay,
I Yet, somo who sit at Lincoln
Think and speak a different way.
, Twould only cost somo $15,000
I To call tho hoys together,
To enact this drastic law
And talk somo of tho weather.
Just now wo have too many laws
Upon tho statute books,
Someone wants n fat posish
(Or thats the way it looks.)
Now Sammy If. you'd help tho poor
And want to stop tho "bellor,"
Why not advocate a law
Taxing J. D. Rockofoller?
But
Poor John tho prico would raise
Then no bettor off wo'ed ho,
So I guess that Samys right
I Bring on tho Legislative spree.
t Vr- TT.n nil muni niitnfl linn
, Some must uso tho cheap machines
Not all can llvo In palaces
Nor rldo in costly limousines.
