SOAK ’EM, LOUIE!

Members of congress are complaining because Washington hotels and cases are robbing them. They charge that they are required to pay ss’ for a’ meal that can be purchased in. London for $1.60. It hits them hardest where it counts the most—in the pocketbook. Bully! Soak ’em. Louie! Pile it on and pick ’em to the bone! It gives us poor devils who are writhing in the strangling grasp of food speculators an opportunity to laugh, to howl, to literally double up and shriek in* unrestrained glee, . The fact that the food pirates are robbing the people blind does not bother the average gentleman in Washington, but when- the pirate creeps into Washington anrP picks the congressional pocket Mr. Congressman roars like a stuck pig. It’s great sport to see doctors and congressmen gulping down their Own medicine once in awhile. Goto it! Soak ’em again, and soak ’em hard! <-■
