Show BEVERLY HILLS. -Well all I1 know li just what I read in the papers. pa-pers. The beat bag just about knocked the fill news right out of everybody. California Cali-fornia papers have had nothing noth-ing in the world on every page and rn every column, col-umn, but the amount of people peo-ple that were killed in other parts of the Country by the neat ah our deaths out here died from natural natu-ral causes, but the ones anywhere, else it was th heat. But I guess it has been pretty hot back where you folks live. I But Mr. Hoover pulled bis debt' cancelling right in the midst of It It wasent too hot for him to be, thinking of something besides a' cold drink. Now that may just be! a mighty fine idea. It has already jumped the market up, and everybody every-body got pretty excited over it We are in such shape anyhow the last year and a halt that we will jump at almost anything that is offered in the way of a scheme. "We know that nothing can do us any worse and we figure It might help, so we are liable to Jump at things that after more quiet meditation we wouldent even monkey with. I dont see how it could hardly effect anyone any-one so greatly but Germany, for they are the only one that is saving sav-ing anything. Germany owes. France, England, Belgium, and I reckon Italy, (I dont know what for, but I guess just on general principles.) Well then, in turn each ones takes what Germany pays them and pays it to us, so now the debt is cancelled for a year, that dont mean anything to England, France, Belgium, and maby Italy, for if Germany pays them nothing they pay us nothing. If Germany does pay them, they in turn turn around and pay us, so the money only passes through their hands anyhow. If it does pass they pay it out, and if It dont they dont, so whata the answer? We lose 245 million that the Allies Al-lies owe us, and 15 million that Germany pays us direct for the charge of the army of occupation. They were to pay anyone that wanted to send in an Army to occupy oc-cupy their Country after the war to remind them what an Allied Soldier looked like. Well thats makes us lose 2C0 million. These are the treat figures, (I just got them from "Time"). Thats where all the authentic au-thentic news comes from. But we can afford to lose that much, for it takes more than that to do us any good, we are so fur In the red that 260 million wouldent even stabl-lalise stabl-lalise our Liquor market. Now what about the old Boys here -on the home grounds? Well maybe . this thing will eventually reach him in some beneficial way. Lord knows what way but it may trickle down to him some day. Well the whole thing is beyond the understanding of us Dumb Birds anyhow, so just get back In your bread line and let it go. A week or so ago we had it In our papers that Capone was broke. Well it was just like saying Mellon and Ford had '. taken two ad-Joining ad-Joining cots Jn the county poor farm. Capone broke!!! We knew that depression de-pression had hit his Industry, but we had no Idea that it had had such far reaching reach-ing effect. Tbe Government is sendine him ta Jail for illegally selling Liquor, and collecting a legal income tax on an illegal act. If they can do that why cant they make Robbers pay an income in-come tax on what they received in loot. If you rob a Bank of 200 thousand, thou-sand, and they nab you, why cant they in addition to sending you to jail make yon 'pay an income tax on what you got away with? They got records of Capone for all these years. But they dident get any of the Liquor, that is paying pay-ing for it. I think that "Broke" gag is. another Racket He always did handle his money in cash all the time, bo that Old Bey bs.3 got dough piled in a lot of tils different Dis-tllllers Dis-tllllers and Brewery's. You knw what they tell you in Chicago? The men that know they Bay that when you get Capone Liquor from some supernumary of his, that ir you find any kick with it, that is too poor quality, he is more than glad to take it back and make it good. They say that he is mortr reliable In his methods than even the great Marshall ' Field store. He prides himself on a high class organization. organiza-tion. Well it would be too bad if it stopped while he was In Jail, for a thing like that ought to be perpetuated. per-petuated. ' (S 1931. McNjuM Srodkatt, lac) |
