My Opinion By Ey Walter Kiernan Kiernan I one of those new cent 2 penny postcards with Benjamin Franklin on the stamp and there were tears in his eyes Poor Ben Is all confused First they put him on a new half-dollar half that isn't worth a half-dollar half then they put him on ona ona ona a penny postcard selling at per cent markup For a fellow who preached thrift his face keeps turning up in the most unthrifty un unthrifty tin un- thrifty places and they keep saying they arc are honoring him But Bul the fellow who really looks shocked is old DeWitt Clinton on the tobacco tobacco to to- bacco stamp And so would you if your face was attached to a product on which the taxes are higher than the price I think the fellow who should be on tax stamps tamps is the fellow responsible for forthe forthe forthe the taxes I. I Just because DeWitt Clinton Clinton Clin CUn- ton built the Erie Eric Canal doesn't mean he planned toda today's s tax ride
