BUREAUCRATIC LITANY
And it came to pass that the Sourdoughites felt
oppression in the land. Even that land which they had
conquered from the Aleutianites, and the Arcticites,
while they left many and frozen on the winter trails,
drowned in the glacier streams. And set them up in j
crude shelters. And took unto themselves mates and
labored and loved, living off the animals of the land, j
feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the j
sick; aye, doing them all these things as commanded by
the Creator. Of the animals they did eat, and of their
pelts they made raiment; albeit selling and trading pelts
for the things which gat they them not from the land I
and the forest. And there was joy in the land, and they
waxeth happy.
And lo, the political missionaries came, and they!
looked upon the handiwork of the Sourdoughites and
liked it not. Sayeth they them: “They weareth rich furs
which are the light of the chorus girls and the elite;” j
albeit it conjureth up a piide. Thinkest we they waxeth '
rich, even so after we taketh away their timber, their
coal, their oil, their foreshore, aye their water power,
their fisheries, their potash and other minerals, even j
unto setting aside large areas wherein they are permit
ted not with their destructive weapons, woodcraft and
cunning. We setteth a guard over them; aye,, 3,001 and
one guards set we them over. We giveth a pension to
those of them who serveth us. We allow^eth them day’s
pay jobs. Even these alloweth them we. But they rear
eth up a pride, even as the serfs who kiketh out King*
George III. and usurpeth his lands. They liketh not to
labor for others, but displayeth a shameful independence j
wThich is not meet. Wherefore we setteth an additional
guard that they sljjilt not be spoiled with overmuch
wealth lest they demand equality with their rulers. And
a roar went up in the land. The Sourdoughites de
mandeth that they be allowed to fence off the home of j
the lumberjack. He that dams the creeks. Wiicr, with
it was written that the lumberjack did not know where
his house should be built, but the Sourdoughites might
build a pasture, removed from the natural habitat of the
lumberjack, wherein might catch they them and corral
them and stand guard over them; aye feed them of
the brush and of the cottonwood, and of the tule roots
and other such herbs and roots as they might find in j
the land; even build they them concrete dams; provide
they them with buck-saws and sawbucks. For verily\
this is an age of machinery an dno self-respecting chorus \
girl would wear a beaverskin wrap made from a plebian
who cut wood with his teeth. Even so sayeth the law.
Scientist says the flight of time is an illusion.

Mr. Coolidge says that as President he minded his

GOTIATING MERGERS OF
LARGEST BANK
NEW YORK, April 20, (/P)—New
York banking circles have watch
ed with growing amazement the
giant strides across the financial
world of an Italian immigrant’s
son who was haggling over the j
price of carrots and potatoes along :
the San Francisco waterfront 25 i
years ago.
Amedeo P. Giannini, an aggres- :
sive black haired personality not
yet 60, has come out of the west
and is concentrating his energies
for the present in the eastern fi
nancial sector. He has already ac
quired control of the historic Bank
of America, the Bowery and East
River National bank and the Com
mercial Exchange bank.
He consolidated them, created j
New York’s most extensive bank
chain, then proceeded at a pace
that took Wall street’s breath away 1
to amalgamate the Bank of Amer- ,
ica with the old investment house j
of Blair & Company. The new in- j
stitution has resources of more
than $500,000,000 and is already
reported to be negotiating mergers
which would lead to the creation
of the largest single banking in
stitution in the United States.
