DELICATE JOB OF EXEMPTION
BOARDS.

The finest reward of all is the
consciousness of duty done. And that
will be the only reward that the To-
cal exemption boards will have. Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder makes
their duty clear. They are to scrutin,
ize every case from the standpoint of
the national interest. There is not
one exemption or discharge in the
law or regulations that is put there
for the benefit of any individual"
The members of the boards are ad-
monished to Investigate doubtful
cases in the direct man to man fash
ion that they would use as individ-
uals seeking to verify some fact
about which they were in doubt.
The reward for the faithful perform
ance of their duties on the boards
must come from the members own
conscience, or, as General Crowder's
little homily phrases it, Your only
reward must be the knowledge that,
at great personal sacrifice, you are
rendering your country an indispcn-
sible service in a matter of the ut
most moment"

GO THE RIGHTEOUS LIMIT GOV.
ERNOI.,

The Illinois state council of de-
| Tense has asked the governors of six
teen states to meet in Chicago to
take action to reduce coal prices. The
| Illinois council suggests that the
states go to the extent of selling the
| mines il necessary.
| Governor Harding is quoted in the
Des Moines papers as saying he is
ready to "go the limit" to protect
coal consumers. This expression
from the governor was called out by
the invitation to attend the Illinois
meeting which he announces he will
attend. The governor is quoted as
saying that he does not know how
precisely. what means are to be TAX
en- but that something must be done
and Immediately on the coal ques-
ton.
Clifford Thorne, representing the
Iowa League of municipalities, with
the utilities board, has memorable
ed the federal trade commission ask
ing immediate establishment of ten
tative maximum prices ito supplant
prices" Thorne urges public instead
of private hearings on the cost of
coal production.
If anything is to be done it is
time it were doing. The governor is
right about that He is right also
when he proposes to go the limit
in order to exact justice for the con-
sumner. Thorne's proposal to per-
nit the consumer to know and thus
understand the cost of coal produce
ton by admitting the public to
knowledge of the expense is one
that coal operators should accept if
their claims are honestly founded.
For the public as consumer is entire
~ willing to pay cost and a fair
profit. 1t is, however, like individ-
uals very much opposed to being
held up and secrecy is the surest way
to impress the consumer that he is
being jockeyed.
that the operators are taking advan7
tage of the opportunity to get-while
the getting is good. That tendency
is natural enough. Most of us have
it. Railroads and street car lines
and electric light plants and public
utilities that enjoy a monopoly by
popular permission have the same
tendency. However, "a reasonable
return" is all they can legally take.
They ought to have that. So had the
coal mine which is monopoly of a
resource. And the coal mine
should not have much more, especial

FRIGHTENED LIVESTOCK MEN,

One of the serious effects of the
governments wavering, indecisive
method of treating the food control
situation has been that it has thor
oughly frightened large number of
farmers and stock raisers. Uncertain
numbers OF them have decided to go
out of the live stock business and sell
their grain. The Journal has been
told of dozens of big breeders who
are selling their brood sows and say
that they will not raise any pigs next
year. They say that the high price
at least DANGEROUS if not u RrD9,am
able, especially if government is go
ing to attempt to fix prices on live
stock. One especially well informed
farmer and stock raiser told the
Journal that the farmers believe that
the government was taking or would
take the advice of Armour, Swift &
Co., i. e., the big packers as to what
these men knew nothing of the cost
of producing meat animals and they
had always fixed the price on the
farmers live stock to their own adj
vantage. The Journal regards this
situation as very serious. If farmers
and breeders the country over are
taking the same view of this matter

be serious shortage of meats and
fats in this country next year. 1t is
useless to appeal to these men upon
the ground of patriotism. Thew are
just like other men. They are patri-
otto but they are not willing to run
the risk of feeding corn worth $3.50
or more per bushel to live stock when
the law of supply and demand has
been repealed They want to know
where they are working. There is an
element of unjustifiable suspicion
and perhaps selfishness in their atti-
tude yet in the main their action rep
resents justifiable protest against
the methods the government is
proposing to use. 1t is certain that
the administration must either defin-
itely promise that it will not attempt
to fix prices of meat animals or else
it must at once announce a minimum
price that will be paid. Otherwise
production will certainly be greatly
reduced. Journal.

Ostracise Them.

We know an old curmudgeon who
has worked two wives to death. Three
of his children are warped out of
shape from overwork and one of
them is crippled for life. Two of his
boys ran away at 16 to get rid of
slavery on the farm, and he is worth
$4,000; He gave 81 IT, to the s Red

workers. Let us have "selective"
tactics in raising money as we'll as

has two boys that couldn't get into
the army from being, overworked;;
About $4,000 in cash wormed out

delight the writer, who wants the
job of handling the pitchfork. We
can get 100000 in cash out of
just such fellows if this government
will give us the license to handle the

will designate and tie them up where
we can get at them. A nice new pitch

Small bore politicians are Shrek
ing denunciations against the gov
eminent for locating number of the
training camps in the south. 1t is
incredible that any sensible man
should see partisanship in the loca-
ton of these camps There are sew
eral good reasons why the camps
should be located in the southern
states. The principal one, which
alone is sufficient, is that out-of-
doors training of troops can be car
ried on practically every day during
the coming winter, an impossibility
