A MONUMENT OF INGRATITUDE

Colonel Roosevelt has broken into the lmeght again
with his unsought advice and fshwoman's Bilngsgae
That he is entirely devoid Of any of decency is
shown in the fact that having revoted from the party
that honored him with the highest gift in its power and
put of the running he started another party of his
own to which of the brightest and purest men in
the nation announced their allegiance simply because
they had faith in his uprghtness and he betrayed that
and them Then it is believed by many, he deliberately
tried to defeat the whom the republican party had
selected its candidate for the presidency 1t is prob
able his taking the stump he did and his making the
attacks the Central allies assisted in defeating Mr.
Hughes His political has been of ingratitude
and base betrayal Being unable to secure the nomina
ton for third ter he forced the party to accept the
man he selected--Taft and when that gentleman de-
cned to allow him to be the actual president and remain
figure head himself he turned against him and far
politics concerned destroyed him. He assumed to
be larger than his party and the only person capable of
running the executive branch Of the government.
He wants to manage the government STILL and dictate
the policies Of the country and this despite the party he
last dishonored with his affiaton turned down at
the polls IL he had the least of the eternal fitness
of things he would retire to solitude large enough
to hold him. and there remain in that obscurty his
tions have so well qualified him to adorn.

PR|CE-F|X|NG PLAN TO
Be ANNOUNCED TODAY

vashin gton. Aug THE govern
raents method OF fixing prices on
purchases for itself and allied govern
ments probably will be announced to-
morrow The question was discussed
al two lengthy meetings of the war
industries board today. Tonight it
was said that no definite agreement
had been reached.
Two courses OF action were debated
by the board They are
/ Fixing OF one price for each com
modify purchased
?. Fixing a sliding scale, based upon
the cost of production.
In reaching an agreement upon
prices, IL is stated. the board must
consider cost Of production and make
to all manufacturers.
The small producer is under heavier
production expenses than the large
corporations and necessarily the price
he gets for his goods must be higher
to allow him a profit than that asked
by his larger competitors II price
large enough to insure the small pro-
ducer TO make fair profit Is fixed
upon for all purchases, then the big
corporations will be making enormous
PROFITS. If the first method Is adopt
ed ~ is stated. the board Will rely
upea.Lhe excess profits tax TO shave,
down the large earnings OF corpora
lions. 1t was expected today that the
board really had no authority TO fix
any prices but depended upon using
the presidents Communicating power
as club to make industry accept the
prices offered by the board
When the reports OF the federal
trade commission are received on
some of the more important materials
sought. the war industries board will
name the price It will pay. The man
ufacturers can accept the price or
have their plants Communicated
Another important matter discussed
by the board today was the plan OF
cooperation with allies IN making
purchases. II is expected the COM
pleted plan will be submitted to the
allied governments for approval be-
fore being announced Stimulation OF
industry also was taken up as a part
Of the price fixing discussion. il being
held that allowing fair pront 10
small producers, under heavy ex-
pense, would bring out all the mate
rial possible.
