Show I BEVERLY HILLS. Well all I ! enow is just what I read in the pa- j jers, and what I hear through the :j ' static. Now that & r : ' -'; t h e innaugural i 1 iiL is a" 0V6r we H W got notllinS to f f! clo but just Bit 1 iM"f4ftU an( see ls ' I JxJl 3f going to help" I tfeiP who, and why. j . We have waited jy-jjv Ni... . all this time to vap lzv!r.S see what could Svt ' '' be done, and if f,'f -:''V-''", i' anything is done tiilij 5t wm be a sur-1 prise to us. We I have about give up the idea of be- j ing made rich overnight, but we do j. have hopes of something falling in : our lap. Henry Ford is thinking about taking tak-ing up the banking business now, 'so we will all go plumb to Detroit to deposit. He has some scheme where you say when you put it in whether you want it back or not. Folks have got so used to being doubtful that he is going to let em 1 say, here I want this money back. Well then he puts it in a seperate ! radiator, or tunneau, or in some old spare tires, but anyhow when you want it is supposed to be still there. Maby you dont get any interest but heretofore it has been maby you dont get any principal. So he is going go-ing to fix so. you do get your roll back. That In itself will make the ' bank a novelty. Ford always comes through with some original and mighty good ideas when the time conies. This scheme that Mr Roosevelt is talking talk-ing of down in the Tennessee Valley Val-ley where you farm, and work in a factory, all that is being and has i been done by Mr Ford on his big ; farms in Michigan. He has factories near the farms and they work on each at different times of the year. I tell you everybody ought to have two or three things they work at, then when one busts they got the other. These moratoriums they are hav-i hav-i Ing all over the country are mighty '. good things. We thought of em for Europe three or four years ajro, but nobody ever thought of em for us. We said, lets fix so Europe dont have to ray their debt. Then it took ; us three years to think of, lets fix so we dont have to pay ours. We are just naturally a fast thinking , people. We had thought of evacy-thing evacy-thing to relieve the farmer, but to I keep him from losing his farm, and ! tha funny part shout It the banker did?nt want it. But we just thought well 'we always al-ways have foreclosed, why do anything any-thing different, giving him some more years to pay in never entered any ones mind. Now we are ail sitting sit-ting pretty, if we owe anybody we just wave to em and holler "Moratorium, "Mora-torium, happy Moratorium to you!" You see the fellow that loaned the money is always better able to lose it than the fellow that borrowed bor-rowed it, the fellow that borrows It blows it in and never uses it for the cause that he borrowed it, but the fellow that loaned it, he never loaned all that he had, he only loaned what he could spare, so if he could spare that much, why he dident need this that he loaned. So you see the Moratorium dident hurt anybody, and then its an awful pretty word anyhow, its like propaganda, propa-ganda, and a lot of new things that we have scared up since the war. We used to call it just spreading bad news, and they generally just did it out of pure devilment, but now that its called propaganda and they get paid to spread it why Its legitimate. The difference between doing a thing for money and doing It for nothing makes it legal. So half the enjoyment now la folks paid to I 77 spread some lie v '7. that will aid L' '" somebody, and 35-, the whole coun- rd& try is clogged "lA p. - "'j with propagan- rJ( , ' da, where il '''J'h v ' i used to only be ,Jf'j t$0i':'''tf clogged with :;" m'f .'j' house flies, ' -4' m e a s e 1 s, and CTW-J cramp colic, but y.9 . all In all its a great country, its the best and worst one I ever lived iu, aud I Lten living in countrys for 54 years next November fourth. I was born on election day, but never was able to get elected to anything. I am going to jump out some day and be indefinate enough about everything that they will call me a politician, then run on a platform plat-form of question marks, and be elected unanimously, then reach In the Treasury and bring back my district dis-trict a new bridge, or tunnell, or dam, and I will be a statesman. A? I say all I got to do is get muddle'! up enough on public affairs, and 1 am slowly becoming that way. 1 wouldent bet you ten cents tha; this is the month of March, every ' thing is so cockeyed. So look out, Rogers Is becoming a politician. ' 191.'. hlcXa:: S;r.d:cmt, Imc. |
