Slap-Happy Soliloquy by Jack Gordon

There used to was a feller, though 1 can’t recall his name,

—a decent sort of yokel, with no han- kerin’ after fame—

Who gave up honest livin just to crash the radio game.

He used to be a young ‘un that'd allus speak his mind,

An’ pick them words that meant a

mite—the strong an’ healthy kind—

But now the words he feeds the mike are weak as you can find!

He spent his days in workin’—(till the quittin’ bell’d ring),

An’ then on reglar holidays, he’d have his little fling,

Now a second frets the boy, while

days don’t mean a thing!

He wasn't rightly bashful, though the odd thing made him blush— rather leave unknowns aione than be in any rush: But now he shouts to al] the world— “these bra’s are lined with plush!’

He'd

You'd think a feller with his head’d find out how to run it! e

Stead of joinin’ radio, he’d of thunk and not begun it:

Now he knows—when it's too late— he shouldn't orter done it,

A guy should be himself, y’know; but that game, when yer in it,

Twists yer day, yer mind, yer eye; and blame—if you must pin it-—

Rests on you, you dizzy dope! You let yerself git in it!

Government speakers have stressed and emphasized that these treasury branches will not result in increased | taxation. They do say that, from econ- | omies effected in the government, | considerable funds have been ear-| marked to aid in financing treasury} branch operations; but, even if econ- omies have been made, the taxpayer, as yet, does not feel their benefit be- | cause of (according to statements made) treasury branch operation ex penses,

How then are these branches to be! financed, if not from taxation? Let us | run over briefly the four main sour- | ces of revenue as given by govern-| ment authorities. The first are the! profits made through mass __ buying; | profits made through the using of public monies to invade the field of private enterprise and compete in un- fair competition against private bus- inessmen. Secondly, are the commis- sions which the government hopes to} get from Alberta manufacturers on the added sales of their products; commissions which, if they don’t ul timately come from the consumer, are, not likely to build up any vast reserve for the treasury branch reserve.

Another source of revenue, the goy ernment claims, will be the income and “bank profits” of the treasury branch operations. The branches have | only one source of revenue, as far as | this paper can see. They claim a two} Per cent reduction on cash wthdrawals from the branches on transfer voucher deposits. How this will evr hope to to even partially offset the three per cent ponus paid, the interest paid on saving deposits, and the costs of op- eration we caanot fathom, The four-th ! indirect source of revenue seems to be | ‘born of optimism ,and not of reasun. | | It is the theoretical reduction in unem- | | ployment through the impetus given, Alberta manutacturers trough the pay-! ment of the three per cent bonus, and i the consequent reduction in relief | costs of the province, '

G. L MacLachlan, chairman of the}

Social Credit Board,, frankly admitted | here last week that the government Was not assured of the success of the | scheme. He said he hoped the trea tury branches would operate to the advantage of the province. ‘The Globe | hopes so, too If the treasury branches | | can actually help this province then as| ‘Albertans, we must all be in favor of ‘the scheme; BUT, the branches are | starting out with three strikes against | ‘them, with two men out, in the ninth inning. Any enterprise that functions on such an unsound basis that the the more busines it does, the greater will be its deticit, is toredoomed to failure, Whether this failure will come s00n or late, the coming months or years will show.

Lacombe Globe, NOTE—If the Lacombe branch does not last longer than did the Strath- nore branch, our friend Editor Ford, will not have need to worry overmuch. —_——"" 10
