We rebel against working more than 4 eight hours a day, and we fight for time-and-s-half pay for all overtime. We groan over local taxes, income taxes, corporation taxes. In short, we pity ourselves a lot. Yet—well, are we so terribly bad off? How do we fare as compared with, say, our parents and their generation? Is it not the truth that the vast majority of us live much more com- fortably than the majority of the people did t{wen- - ty-five, thirty, forty years ago? Suppose we-sit down and calmly compare our lot with the lot of the last generation. Are these not facts; -ppuc.me to far more people today than thh'ty yelrs or s0 Togo?

Editor Erickson ah):q him this little message: “Some fine day he . will fird himself a boarder at Andy Johnson’s hotel, as his pockets are probably as empty of cash to pay a fine as his skull is of grey matter.” It might be the same “nut” who has been advis- ing tourists that roads were impassable to Bemidji from some of our sister cities to the south and east, Several other “nuts” have been busy tearing down signs erected at the four-mile corner of the Scenic highway south of Cass Lake, which directed tour- ists aver the’ best detour ‘road to Bemidji.
