Nobody's Business . Written for Th? Chronicle by Gee McGee, Copyright, 1928. * ' >.' / |X TIPS AND TAPS , . Our newspapers call Legislators "Solons." They could be called "Sojongs" if they required a more descriptive name, and, once?only once, mind you?when I was just a little tiny boy,?"I went to the state house to see those "Solons" .function: after a day and night with some of (hem, mind you?I called them "Sa-loons." <*' > . V$. .Whisky is mighty hard to get these days, especially in our state Capitals. I know a law-maker who had to call 8 different persons one night beforo he got his quart. (The other 2 had just sold out). Most of tho booze drunk now-a-days by lobbyists is imported,, from nearby swamps and far-off gullies. I do not know a single legislator that takes A drink: some of the married might, though. .. A doorkeeper in the legislative halls told me once., when I was younger, .that vory few of the legislators, that is?the 'Colons," ever drunk while on duty, .unless of course, they had an. important bill to introduce that day..and nearly all of them alwayA had some important bills to got passed. .Not all of them, mind you?just those other few fellers. Most legislators are afraid that they won't be re-elected if they don't introduce something every now and then.,?.and have it put jn their "home" paper. ..Practically all legislators attend all of the meetings occasionally, and some of them attend all of them.... unless they are off somewhere, and can't get there as they are busy: only about two-thirds of them shout "False economy" when someone proposes to cut expenses. "False economy" means cutting out some por-n tion of those guy's direct or indirect' income.... and then they shout tl\^t statement from the house-tops and doorsteps. . .Personally and confidentially, I don't think it is "False economy" to discontinue any commission or'-'policy or practice or habit or work that you are not able to pay for, but just let someJ>ird get up and suggest that the' appropriation for rehabilitating crippled bull-frogs "be reduced from $1,888,909.66 to $1,888,999.60, 2 dozen of those "False economy" squirts will rise from their $eata..with tears in their eyes, .and nothing in their pock' ets.and shout?".Stay thy hand, friends?you are taking a backward step." . .It is some consolation to know that legislators have done about the same things in each of our respective 48 states: they were trying to keep ahead of the Joneses, .and now, apparently, every state, county, township, school district, father, mother, son and baby..is busted from center to circumference and the end ain't yet. So, boys, let's help 'em out by hogging them to do the host they can ..thus, forgetting themselves for a season. MIKE AIRS HIS VJKWS flat rock, s.
