The game was started by Senator Cain of Washington. He went around asking other Senators how much they figured the executive branch of the government spent on travel in 1949. Well, he got answers all up and down the scale, but none of em ,he said, came within 200 million dollars of the truth. Cain said thdt before he got the figures from the Budget Bureau he would have guessed that these travel expenses were about $10 million. And that guess was wrong by more than $320 million. Thee fact was, Cain said, that the amount spent on travel last year by the executive branch of the Federal Government was $334 millions ! Id think that was enough to give the whole kit and kaboodle of em on a round trip to Mars! Its one heck of a travel bill more than $2 apiece for all of us citizens whove been using to save bus and subway fares. And besides, Cain said the Budget Bureau told him the travel bill would be about $25 million higher this year because of the fall elections. Well, I cant say I blame anybody for trying to win an election that will give him more free travel But its tough on us taxpayers to have to chip in an extra $25 million on account of it Rep. Simpson of Pennsylvania came out though, for a cut in the tax on chewing tobacco. Said he figured anybody who did all that chewing ought to have some tax relief. As you probably know. Senator Neely, Taft and I have been holding hearings for some time trying to discover the cauae for unemployment in the ooal. sine and lead mines and the oil fields. The testimony pretty generally speaking up to date Is a conflicting character. There Is one phase of the testimony that we have heard, which I am sure you can help us with, if you would like to send me a letter giving me your Ideas. That phase has to do with the Influence of the effect of big owners who control the ores of both our domestic and foreign mines at the same time. To make my point clear, one witness for the coal companies has testified categorically that a revenue tax of $1.05 on a barrel of oil will cause the great utility companies to use coal and thus open the mines. One witness for our zinc and lead mines has testified categorically that a revenue tax high enough to stop the importation of cheap foreign ores will open our sine and lead mines. Would you not like to comment on these statements for our record? Now, as you know, there is not much hope this session for the Murray-Engl- e bill and despite the valliant work done by the mine workers lobbyists from our News Notes enlisted in the service at Salt Lake a? parents, Mr. and Mrs. John reside in Eureka, B.

Rom where I sit Lfy Joe Marsh There it Was Right in The Middlel Easy Roberta mowed his lawn early last Saturday. Then he sat on ths porch, sad witched Handy Petersen cutting Ms grass. Ths Roberts property end the Petersona border each other with no hedge or fence between them. So, when Easy notices Handy had left about a four-foatrip unmowed along the boundary, ha walks over and asks why. "Thats y our land, says Handy. "Min ends hers. See, it lines up with that oak tree across ths road I" Easy didnt think so, so they went np and down looking for ot the surveyors marker. Where did they find it? Right in the middle of their "no mans land I" Wall, they both grin and take turns finishing ths Job and then retreat to Easys for a friendly glass of beer together. From where I sit, s little searching around for the truth of the matter often shows that ths other fellow is as much right ss yon ere at which point the whole thing doesn't seem as important anyway.
