YOU AND YOUR MONEY.

takes money to buy up millions of
eggs and keep them in cold storage.
The Spectators get it from the
banks. Where do the banks get it?
From the people. From YOU, if you
keep any money on deposit. The
banks urge the people to save money
and put it in the savings banks. In
that way they get the use of millions
upon millions of cash. They make
money by lending that cash at a
higher interest than they pay depos-
itors. Here's the operation as it
works out with food spectators
who buy and hoard. You lend YOUR
money to the banks, they lend it to
the food spectators and they use it
to buy food and store it So as to have
control Of the supply and thus regu-
late supply and demand to their own
advantage. That is, YOU are skinned
with your own money. It -nOt-Only

SCHOOL POLITICS. >.

SCHOOL POLITICS-If an cleo
tive school board subject to recall
takes the public schools into politics,
it merely takes the school out of rot
ten politics and gives clean politics a
chance. The schools are in politics
now, and Jake Loeb politics at that,
With an elective board parents who
have children in the public schools
could elect the school board; and if
any of the elected members should
go wrong the parents could kick
them out with the recall. The mayor
now appoints school board members.
There is no way for friends of the
public school system to get at the
school board except through the
mayor. When we elect a mayor it's
a party fight between Democrats and
Republicans. Other issues are in
volved, and the people have to take
their chances on his school policy.
The Vets, the Drys and the this, that
and the other organization throws

COCHRAN'S COMMENT


ADVERTISERS WAKING UP
The Association of National AdVer-
Users adopted resolutions approving
reasonable increases in the selling
price of periodicals and newspapers
because of the higher cost OF white
paper. Wise move. Unless adVertls-
ers cooperate with the newspapers
and help them to raise the price OF
penny papers, the increased cost Of
white paper will have to be added to
advertising rates. The State street
stores could help the local situation
and prevent a big increase in adVer-
Using rates by agreeing to stick to
present rates if the papers go to 2
cents. If the Tribune is preventing
the other papers from going to 2
cents because it owns a paper mill,
the advertisers should help the 9TH
er papers out of the hole. If the Tri-
bUne's dOg-in-the-manger attitude
should starVe the Herald and Exam
liner out of the morning field, and the
News should do the same to the
American, Journal and Post, then the
TTib and News could make adVertis-
ers eat out of their hands.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-12-09
works out this way as to food, but as
to public utilities as well. Big f1nan-
ciering is done with the peoples
money.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT,

PUBLIC SEN IMENF.-ln deVel-
Oping public sentiment in the report
Of the subway commission, loop pa
pers are inviting the opinion only Of
business men in the loop. The loop
isn't Chicago. Neither are big bus
mess men the people. Why not find
out what car riders want? Business
men may be afraid the 81" structure
will shut off light from their build
ing, but that's no reason for making
hundreds of thousands of car riders
ride through tunnels to get to the
loop. Car riders need light and air
quite as much as business men do.
And business men who don't like the
loop can move out of it. There's
plentyof room in Chicago, west, north
and south. Those who don't want
to go in either of these directions can
go jump in the lake. Anyhow, why
not improve what facilities we have
before going crazy about more.
