Meat Prices Not Touched.

The food com mission that re
cently caused such a sensation
in grain buying circles by fixing
a limit for the price of wheat.
has recently made public the
determination to keep hands
off of meats.
When it comes to protecting
the people against exhorbitan t
charges for food. there is GER
tainly just as much call for reg
ulating the limit Of high prices
for meat as there is for wheat.
Meat is just as necessary food
90 aour sad yetthe limit. .fos tAe
price of wheat is fixed and the
meat trusts and meat speculs.
tors will be given free field
for soaring prices on meats.
We hear much about the ne
cessity of encouraging the rails
ing of live stock aud there 10 NO
question about the correctness
of this but it is one thing to Ell.
courage the live stock industry
but an entirely different thing
to encourage the meat trust
and speculator. II 10 a wise
course Of action to make the
live stock profitable hut. in or.
der TO do SO, il is not necessary
for the government to keep
hands off of the meat trust and
and speculators who make for.
tunes at the expense Of both
the stock grower and the meat
consumers.
For years both livestock
growers and the meat conssm.
ers have complained at the un.
reasonable and unfair treat
ment Of the meat trust. A time
has come when the food ques.
tion has become so threatening
that. as a war measure. the gov
ernment has taken into it's
hands the regulation. within
reasonable limits. of food prices
No better opportunity for invcs
tigating and regulating the
meat trust has ever presented
itself aud why should the food
com mission not do so for legis.
lation has certainly given IL nm
pie power for doing so.

Save Gasoline.

People are being admon-
ished. by national leaders in war
preparation to be very saving
of gasoline - there is danger
thst the greatly enlarged use
OF gasoline caused by the world
war may exhaust the eupply.
This without doubt is good ad.
vice but the dear people pay no
attention to such advice. They
simply laugh, buy a larger car
and start out on an extra joy
trip. The dear people are not
to be frightened by any such
oil shortage talk, for the people
are going to have a good time
If they have to use the last gal
on of gasoline to secure it and
nothing but prohibitive prices
will ever cause them to stop
and take notice. 1t is all right
for the fellow who does not
sport a car to give advice to the
other fellow to save gasoline
but it seems that the fellow who
has the car just cannot resist
the temptation to burn gasoline
