How suddenly she had wheeled about. “What? Otho here?” And the hateful, “Ab-h-h, Thought that'd fetch you, young woman. Yes, our old pal, Otho, is actually here. Want to see him?” “Of course Ido.

I heard a fellow snappin’ his teeth and frothin’ at the mouth the ‘other day about reducin’ the gas tax. -To hear the poor sap talk you’d think he was actually payin’ it. If you do your thinkin’ with one braiw cell, all you can see is the amount of the tax—eight cents. Then -you: start ¢hewin’ a peneil and drawin’ on your imagination about all that jack comin’ out of the taxpayers’ pockets. It does seem Kinda logical if you stop there and-don’t go any further with it. eee But ‘let me tell you a litt? se- feret: It we were 'to reduce the gas tax to six, or even to three cents fit wouldn’t help the poor dumb’ But oh[ taxpayers a cockéyed bit. man, what a swell break for the ‘big oil compariies, Do you think the gas stations would be sellin’ us joy juice at . a “Ot, ‘I've managed better than, Raisul’s very &indly’ ehter- taining him in big qdarters.
