THE LOWDOWN FROM HICKORY GROVE
I been reading about this Mr. Ickes. He is our Oil Dictator. Also he has designs on being Power Dictator. He is strong for dictating. He has been out in the Pacific Northwest. I just saw a Tacoma paper. The paper says that he told them there that he wants to make their country the Greatest Empire of Public Power ever known. Brother, that boy takes in territory. But he is having trouble out there with Tacoma and Spokane-also he is having trouble back in Wash. D. C. Mr. Norris back there wants to do a little dictating too, on his own hook. Mr. Norris claims he is the daddy of public ownership of Power. Just why he should be proud of something like that is beyond me. Public ownership is 100 per cent Socialism, but nobody tells us that, in their speeches-and you gotta look that up yourself in Webster. Webster don't beat around the bush.
Yours with the low down,
JO SERRA.
