  6. A quotation from Will Rogers

    Well, here in California, people were thinking and voting on whether to keep a governor four years or eight. I think a good, honest governor should get four years, and the others life!

  7. A quotation from Will Rogers

       See where Congress passed a two billion dollar bill to relieve bankers’ mistakes and loan to new industries. You can always count on us helping those who have lost part of their fortune, but our whole history records nary a case where the loan was for the man who had absolutely nothing.
       Our theory is to help those along who can get along even if they don’t get it.

    Will Rogers (1879-1935) American humorist
    Column (1932-01-22), “Daily Telegram: Will Rogers Offers His View of the Federal Relief Bill,” No. 1715
