The American Legion legislative committee opposes paying the adjusted compensation or World War I veteran bonuses early. It argues the move would cost the government about a billion dollars, swell public debt, and not benefit veterans in the long term. Paying cash now would boost near term spending but leave veterans no better off later, the committee says.
A rambling, opinion filled fragment discusses tax proposals, motor safety, and voter participation. It critiques early farm tax credit ideas, advocates prudent driving after snow, and laments low election turnout while praising national prosperity and restraint. It ends with hope for legislative adjournment.
A fragmented Iowa page comments on national finance with 1 percent treasury certificares and public policy, mocks bondholders, taunts Governor Turner, and critiques Senator Watson and Hoover. It references a Maryville Mo schoolteacher murder case, and warns that state income tax would hurt out of state businesses, calling the plan a gold brick and predicting consequences.
A fragmented old newspaper column recounts a court dispute over a superintendent position in a school district. It includes a plaintiff, Amanthy M. Blank, alleging the defendant sent a compromising picture through the mail to influence the appointment. The document presents arguments about intent, impersonation, and eligibility, with the jury panel addressed and a defense by Miss Blank.
A fragmented column from New York December 19 reflects on vaudeville and theatre culture. It mingles observations of performers, patrons, and critics with portraits of public figures, fashion notes, and the era’s entertainment networks. The piece laments vulgarity yet praises showmanship across venues and stars.
A poorly legible passage shows a speaker claiming to defy persecution and insisting a picture is safely placed in a faithful breast. The text includes phrases about purpose not prosecution and an audience of gentlemen with an apologetic, interrupted close.
A fragmented verse fragmentless piece mocks New Yorkers with French phrases and sharp urban rhythm. The text parodies media slang and street energy, reflecting 1930s syndicate humor in a brisk, noisy style.
In a visit to Oklahoma City I saw a booming metropolis with oil derricks and wide avenues. The decisive twenty five year franchise extension for Oklahoma Gas and Electric showed strong public support, averaging eleven to one. The city, led by editors Eli Gaylord Walter Harrison and Carl Mage, stands as a civic achievement with inviting transport facilities and growth potential for manufacturers.
Fragmented text references Rippling Rhymes a Walt Bano winning a price named Gobel price for writing limericks. Mentions anger among readers and a million, with unclear attributions and misplaced punctuation.
Instructions for fondant and candy preparation with sugar, water, cream of tartar, and flavorings. Describes making fondant, mint centers, bonbons, and chocolate coatings, plus shaping and cooling steps. Includes a brief 1930 verse about Jim’s prize and local recognition.
A scrambled quiz asks who founded Cartegena, the title of a penitentiary official, the acid in citrus fruits, biographical queries on Mrs J M Keith Miller, how many men a corporal commands, how Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed, William Green’s position, the country of Milan, the second U S president to be seated, and where the Populist party was strongest in the United States.
A fragmentary dialogue shows a wife urging restraint as a man enjoys Europe with Oscar. A passerby recalls a misinterpreted scene of a young woman with a man, prompting embarrassment. A Scottish wallet theft story and a girl named Mabel, a kindergarten night nurse, appear in disjointed fragments.
