Show I Whai is a Piker? Tne piker is a in .n who pledges himself him-self . i any go l cu-a and slips out of tile bacK do r wh-n the dues are called f r. He is tne fello v who eats a hearcy meal at a hotel an. I sneaKs through tne side door to miss the casnier. Hi owns a tine f irm and raises an abundance of grain and tri -s to evade his taxes tnat i go to build up the country in which he lives. Wnen a w gre it project is begun he is always ready to noose fr it and w II more cna i pre ;:h for it, b-ic wh in the timj co n -s for payment of obligations obliga-tions iih is j;one an l tne gre.tt responsibility responsi-bility n lefc to tne few wno are true to the cause. The piker is a near kin to the dog that bit toe master wh fed it. He says in his own mind "close thj doors of the schools, library, factjnes a i t busings houses." He savs, "Jo away wit i all officers of governme it a id law and lets go oacl to barbarism." Tne piker is a deceiver of the mean est type who promises to support an enterprise and then fails to do so. To say he is a deceiver is a polite method of saying he is a liar. David Starr Jorden tells us that such a man is to be feared; he is a parasite to all develop ment towards the common good, and ouiiht to be ostracized fro.n all i cen society. Let's not let it be said that there is anvone in Emery county that has fallen so low as to be worthy of the name of a piker. Let's all join en m isse to support our own projects and not be leaners or pikers. |
