Schmidt, Jo Ann Thiele, and
Ruby Schriefer.
Yes, it's a fact! Sain's brood of
two dozen hens are wearing spec-
tacles— which he bought from a
mail-order house in Capitol City.
Sam says it works (and big
poultry raisers say so, too). The
hens see each other through soft
colored glasses, and instead of
fighting and picking at each other,
they go around placidly, gain
weight, and lay more eggs.
There will be a general election held in Czechoslova-
kia next month, the first one under the Red rule. And ac-
cording fo Premier Gottwald it will be'a “free and secret
election’’ - - as the communists understand it .
They make sure of their complete victory with a ma-
jority impossible where elections are actually free. It’s al-
ways way above ninety per cent. So it has been in Yugo-
slavia, Poland, Hungary, and above all in Russia. '
'The communists simply don’t take any chances. For
the people are funny! One, especially the communists, can
never tell what the people would do if given a chance.
There cannot be any public opposition, either in parlia-
dollar
$10,-
tionary, or a capitalist can disagree with the Red idea!
That’s the way it is also in Czechoslovakia now “liber-
ated'’ by the Reds, tn the next election there will only be
one ballot with candidates selected by the Reds. Those not
wanting to vote this ballot may use only a blank one. But
the other ballot is much safer for the voter. And he either
votes the communist ballot, or not at all. The people have
no other chance. Which is not surprising.

pla’a'wUL --■---------------------——---
Nowhere then did they give people a chance to have
a free election.
Nowhere could the Reds stay in power if people were
given a chance to vote according to their own wiH.
Nowhere have the people a chance to free themselves
by election opce they are enslaved by the Reds.
Nowhere also can the Reds say that the people are
better off under their rule than elsewhere.....
That is why the Reds are 30 anxious to strip people of
their rights and property. The more dependent on the Reds,
the more helpless are the people in their enslavement.
Not even the most rabid communist can deny these
facts.
By force they rule and only by force can they be over-
thrown, for they certainly will not give people any other
chance.

Vehicle Sales Tax
Sought For Roads
Austin, Tex., April 22. —
Funds derived from the
sales tax on automobiles
should go for road construc-
tion and maintenance, the
Texas Good Roads Associa-
tion said Thursday.
The association, in a bul-
letin pointed out that the ve-
hicle tax now goes into the
omnibus fund and pays for
state services having no re-
lation to road use.
During the present fiscal
year the state has collected
more than $5,000,000
hide sales taxes.
. “This motorist tax
is expected to reach
000,000 this year,” the asso-
ciation bulletin said. “The
source of this revenue is cer-
tainly related to road use.
The ten million dollars would
build, for example,- 1,000
miles of farm-to-market
roads.”
