Trying to get my mind off 01
hot weather, polities and riots,
I sras scanning the toside or riot-
free pages of a newspaper last
night and ran across an item
that has so many possibilities it
should have made the front
According to it, there's a show
at the New York World's Pair
which it about busted finanrlal-
ly despite the fact it's supposed
to be very good, so the owners
tried a new gimmick. Instead of
selling tickets before the show,
thoy waited till afterwards. They
just threw open the doors and
invited the tourists in, with the
understanding if they liked the
show they could pay at they
went out If they didn't like it,
they didn’t have to pay. 1
first trial was a success.

tical conventions and atm

I don’t know how this is working
out, but that's beside the point

fering $1,300 cash prizes in the

For example, take taxes Why
eaal the governments, bom lo-
cal through state to Washington,
use this system? At the end of
the year they could all say, well,
how much government you figu-
re you've gotten this year? And
if you find everything baa been
satisfactory and agreeable, you
write out a cheek for what you
think it’s worth.
Any unit of government that
failed to put on a good show,

clow.
It might even work with news-
papers, however that’s a mat-
