﻿It’s Time to Show Bosses The Way Out

It is not true in the full sense of the word that bankers have stacked up the chips in the expectancy that government will declare a war and borrow them. The very nature of capitalism is such that simoleons gather in the hands of the money lenders . . . And, it wil be noted, it was only AFTER the bankers and insurance cmpanies TOOK OVER INDUSTRY that the blue-bellied Yankee began to feel his belly growing pale. As I should have said before: War is Capitalism in Full Flower. 
Starvation is the other wing of the Axle. 
Conscript weath: Hm, ‘tis but a threat in the interest of high moral persuasion. 

The twelve apostles, in the Senate, however, are doing excellent service with their “War Referendum” and if this keeps on mebbe the bankers will have to get our permit for their next war—or no dice. 
But I wouldn’t bet too heavy on it because the only thing that can prevent war is an organized working class; even at that, it must be organized right. 
After all, that Hope Diamond strung on the neck of Evalyn Walsh McLean isn’t plate-glass. 

“If War Clouds Lift. . . .” opines B. C. Forbes.— 
Why not? These particular war clouds have two (2) legs, two (2) arms, dauber moustache and umbrella—plus jittery press. 

War clouds completely blanket the empty cupboard and sovereign citizens are not allergic to—to—beans. 

Mindful of the royal croppers of the past, present British princesses are learning to straddle elephants, the News (N. Y.) opines, as an aside: Kangaroo and elephant should trade tails. 
To create balance of power, no doubt? 

“Senate passes record farm bill—$1,218,666,572.” 
Although I wish Senate never had studied arithmetic I cannot help but wonder what in the name of Mackinaw is that two dollars for? 

Taxes are not killing industry. Carte blanche brainlessness (mismanagement) of the employers made industry a corpse years ago and the same employers again are changing their faces, out to kill it once more. 
Biggest of the industries are operating at two-thirds capacity—one-third employed. 
The one-third unemployed explains the taxes—unemployed cam first; taxes followed. 
Employers have forever tried to duck their responsibilities (including taxes) and lived like drunken sailors of good ol’ days. 
Pretty damned brittle stamina (acumen) when they cannot even pay their taxes! 
But I am saying if industry cannot suport this nation it is high time to give industrial overlords their walking papers. 
Banks are full of money. Big share of the state of Kentucky is salted with gold, etc. Every industry has too much elbow room and other deficiencies—like a waitress that has to walk 165 feet to bring me two, (2) flapjacks. Aw hell what’s the use? 

Dirty work at the cross roads: [unclear] Chico pocketed at Jamaica Track [unclear] shot: Johnstown had a walk-a-wa[unclear] 
Olay and Martha of Norway [are] taking a gander at Boulder Dam. 
Johnstown just now came in eleven lengths tardy at Preakness. 
Yankees wil try to sign up Royal George for outfield. (He looks like Joe Di Maggio.)
