By Gee McGee.
A Depression Mand Man.
A 1932-model “average man” has
one wife and not over two children.
He is the owner of at least one auto
mobile—on which he owes not more
than 6 payments. He lives in a rent
ed house and is only 3 months behind
with his rent. He has his ice-box
paid for and his radio will be his in
the very near future.
He is at present unemployed—
thru no fault of his. He’s not lazy.
He sincerely wants work and deserves
it, but he does not think it worth
while to worry; everything will be
“pie” as .soon as the last tariff act is
repealed. Of course he realizes that
the tariff ruint us. He says it stop
ped foreign countries from liking us
and trading with us—and that’s about
80.
He expects and hopes to own a
home sooner or later. In fact, he
would trade his car in on a nice 5-
room brick-veneered, green - blinds
house, provided—he could be spared
about $65.00 in the transaction—in
cash, of course. He favors both
lower and higher education. He went
to college 1 himself, but didn’t like
what he took. (Agriculture is the
bunk.)

E
it;
M ■
His wife is all right too, and she
and the boy aijd girl help wonderful
ly to make the ..“1932-type average
man” measure up. She smokes very
little, plays bridge only occasionally,
and still loves her home and him.
Sooner or later, he will get a break;
he will forget that there’s anything
to complain about. All he wants is a
chance, and—just as soon as things
get back to normal, he’ll be perfectly
satisfied with his government, his
wife's kin-folks, his job and his sur
roundings.

Unbalancing My Budget.
^—I have been mighty busy for the
past 2 weeks trying to balance my
budget I have at last figured out
260,000 bushels of wheat, or 4,000
bales of cotton or the wages of 60,000
Chinese coolies for 2 months to settle
the salary account of one of the gen
tlemen in question, but I understand
that they are worth every cent of it—
to themselves.
Cotton Letter^
New York, Aug. 25.—A weaker
trend in the stock market, plua a
private report from Nova Scotia that
the sardine run seems to be off 60
percent, forced New Orleans spots
down to a new low for the week, but
brown sheetings and rayon undies
were stronger tnan at any time prior
to the G. O, P. convention. Spinners
takings and afloat sales were normal
and so was homebrew and postage
stamps just before dinner, but Egypt
and Anaconda copper had not been
heard from at that time. Probable
showers in Texas and scarcity of rain
in Alabama caused some straddling at
the polo grounds on Tuesday. We
advise the shorts to become longs im
mediately, and by all means, hedge
your October.
The said “average man” is
gloomy and semi-morose. He is able
to tell who caused the depression and
why. He is absolutely under the
control of his wife and family while
around home, but is without restraint
when he gets down town. He likes
to tell “how I lost my money, and
who got it.” He ig in favor of the
bonus hut hates the world court.
He thinks the “Lucy-Anne” con
ference was a big joke and he enjoy.s
telling why Europe will never pay
another cent on her reparations bill.
He knows the League of Natioins
from tip to top, and thinks America
ahould join and then move Geneva and
the Hague over here. He smokes 10
of his own cigarettes a day and 15 of
O. Ps.—(Other peoples). He drinks
but little and that takes place at
night at his friend’s house.
Produce Market.
Eggs, in the nest, 10c dozen.
Eggs at the Ritz, scrambled, $2.00
dozen. Beef in the barn, 2 cents.
Beef planked, $3.00. Fryers in the
backyard, 10c. Fryers, broiled in
the coffee shop, $1.76. Potatoes on
the farm, 150 pounds for 50c. Pota
toes, French-fried, at the Ballard,
50c each. Corn on the stalk, 40c
bushel. Corn-on-the cob at Hotel De
Best, 25c per ear. Fish in the brook,
3 cents apiece. Same fish fried A la
Pullman, 85c. Milk at the cow 5c
quart. Milk on a tray, in a bottle,
15c a pint. All other markets weak
at the production source, but very
strong at the points of consumption.
Mere Suggestions.
Congress should be called in ex
tra session at once and vote bonds in
the sum of 121 trillion dollars and
give every man. woman and child in
the United States $100,000.00 in
/
caA and a high-powered €ar. If we
are going to act a fool, let’s act a big
one and be done with it.
The last lot of federal taxes was
possibly necessary because our gov
ernment ha* permitted waste, graft,
theft, extravagance, rottenness in high
places, and useless jobs in low places.
The only cure for such a me^s is,
(evidently, at least)—elect a new
bunch of officers from janitor on up.
It will take them several years to
learn how to ruin a country.
As a majority of us are working
for the government—not on a salary
bast?—but on a tax basis, why would
it not be better to parcel up the Unit
ed States to various departments to
feed and clothe us, and permit them
to take all we make, just as they are
now doing? The New England
States could be taken over by the
post office department, and—
if
£
The cotton and corn belts should
be transferred and assigned to the
farm board. All of the central States
could be applied to the bonds. The
western portion of our country wd\ild
naturaly fall to'the office-holders,
politicians, grafters, public servants
and investigating committees. Ha
waii and the Phillipines might be
deeded to the war and navy depart
ments and the balance of our “fare-
land,” if any might remain neutral
property — for whichever interests
that »can grab the fastest.

Personally and confidentally, I
don’t blame our congressmen and
senators for putting all their rela
tives on Uncle Sam’s payroll. The
government simply allows these
gentlemen two or three times as
much money to be blowed in as they
need and deserve for legitimate pur
poses, and it is perfectly natural that
they try to keep it in the family. Cut
off that part of waste and then nepo
tism will die a natural death. If they
had to pay those folks out of
their own pockets, half of the^/aid
senators and congressmen would do
all of their own work—except shining
their thoes.
