Clarence "Snyder, 14 perhaps sum- < ished more of the program than any- 1 < one else for his age. He topped off ! a rep steer called Hooligan and stuck ] like a burr. Later in the program he j rode another that outdid all the rest j the bovines they had in the bunch. . This boy knows no fear and stays , right on.

THERE'LL BE A BETTER BILL When the revenue bill was up for discussion in the house, Hon. Frank W. Mondell took occassion to pay his compliments and in conclusion Rave the democrats this consolation: “Do not be downcast or discouraged, gentlemen on the other side. You will not have long to w>ait to see the details of a republican revenue measure. The remnant of you gentlemen on the democratic side who are here) after the 4th of next March will become familiar with just what we propose to do. The measure then presented will have for its purpose the raising of necessary revenue for the support of the government with the minimum of annoyance and burden upon the citizens. Its provisions will be fair and just to all. Incomes will pay their fair share, but we shall not penalize thrift and industry. Those who seek our great market shall make their goodly con tribution to the national treasury. Our labor will be protected in its wage, our home industries within reason in their market. In the meantime, the responsibility is yours, not ours. If you insist, on Your plan of revenue, you cannot reasonably expect bur support of it, even though some of its provisions pay the republican party the sincere flattery of adopting some of its policies. We stiU have in mind the ancient warning, long since crystalized into a. proverb, “Beware of (he Greeks bearing gifts.” (Applktise oti the* republican side.) ■- ■ ■ »■<-■*' t*yi; ; •. - ft PAGE FIVE Meeteetse, F.
