whst Prices Can Be Fixed.


There has been much discus
sion, about what prices the Food
Administration can fix. Prices
have been fixed on coal and wheat
by authority conferred by the
Food Control legislation. Prices
have also been fixed on iron and
its products. but not under the
Food Control law. This was
done by agreement with the iron
and steel industries and is vo1un-
tary on their part.
The Food Control legislation
confers powers on the president
to fix prices on coal and if neccs-
sary, to buy and sell it 1t also
confers authority to buy and sell;
and therefore to fix prices on
wheat, flour, meal, beans and po-
tatoes. These are the only ar
ticles over which the president is
given the price fixing power.
The president is given the pow
er to license any business of the
country where the business tram
sacted annually exceeds $100. 900.
The power under such license is
conferred to regulate profits in
any line of business. but not to
fix prices. Authority is given
over fertilizer and agricultural
implements under the license
provision, but the power to fix
the prices is not conferred-only
the power to regulate profits.
The question is often raised in
regard to the price of live stock,
meats. corn. etc. The Food Ad-
ministration, acting for the pres
ident, can not under the present
law fix prices on these things, be-
cause the authority to do that is
not conferred. What the next
Congress might do in that line is
not known, but until Congress
docs act no one has the power to
fix prices on any commodity ex-
cept as stated above.
The regulation of profits. which
may be done now in any line Of
business, is an entirely different
thing from the liking of positive
prices. 1t viii. eliminate specula-
ton but it will not prevent high
prices If they arc due to causes
other than speculation.

Thoroughly organized. the cru

in every county in the state. Gov
crnor julius c. Gunter, the Colo
RADIO Council of Defense and the
Women's Advisory. Council, are
utilizing their strength, govern
ment agencies and council organ

Stearns, federal and state food
administrator for Colorado, is
putting every pound of pressure
he can command into the care
fully prepared house-to-house
canvass. Like generals in the
field, the county food administra-
tors are directing their local re-
cruiting armies. Through the
Legion of Life the states teach
ers arc doing their part with pa
triotic zeal. From their pulpits
the ministers of the gospel have
sounded the call for national ser
vice in the homes.

Shortage Of Freight Cars

Shortage of freight cars-la-
ton wide and by no means con
fined to Colorado-is occupying
almost the entire time and atten-
ton of the Colorado Council OF
Defense; also of the state public
utilities commission, which Gov
crnor julius c. Gunter has called
in to work with the council in the
hope of doing the best possible for
Colorado under rather discoprag-
ing circumstances.
When a decided shortage of en-
gine crews and trainmen is adj
ded to the shortage Of cars, then
the problems of saving Colorado's
crops become vast indeed. And,
again, this latter shortage of the
trainmcn is not confined to Colo
RADIO, but is also nationwide, al
though Colorado may be suffer
ing more than most states, be-
cause not every trainman is a
good trainnran on mountain roads.
SO acute has the condition be-
came that George T. Bradley,
chairman of the public utilities
commission, accompanied by
Commissioner c Aylcsworth, made
a special trip to Washington in
an effort to get cars for this state,
Their mission was partially sue
ccssful, but they found that other
states were suffering too. And
now the transportation commit
tee of Governor Guntcrs Council
of Defense is hard at work on the
matter, and will be for the next
few weeks; likewise the commit
tee on crops and marketing.
1t is entirely war condition
which figures in this matter. The
nation is moving vast supplies oi
munitions, foodstuffs, clothing
and other things for the army
This has taken thousands of cars
out of the crop movement. Be
sides there is monster harvest
everywhere which each state is
cndcavoring to get to market as
soon as possible.
Colorado is more fortunate thar
some of her sister states. how
ever. One of the first acts o.
Governor Guntcr's war counci
was to agitatc the question o
greater storage facilities. espec
tally in localities where there wa.
likely to be a bumper crop OF per
ishablc goods. The car shortage
was forcsccn almost with proph
ctic eye. and that this prc-sclenc'
has proved profitable to Colorad,
is shown by the single case OF thu
San Luis valley potato growers.
Months ago these men were
urged to provide storage facilities
for their crop. At that time ,tor
age in the valley was rather ;
negative matter. II was more
theory than fact. Today the pub
lie utilities commission and tn,
council Of defense know that l.90'
carloads Of potatoes are stored it
the San Luis valley. These pota
toes are free from danger OF fros
and are awaiting the cars TO

ARvADA DRY GOODS: CO. G!
. ~

The San Luis valley raised
3,OS3 cars of potatoes. Up to Oc-
tober q about 1900 cars had been
shipped, with 1900 in storage.
About 700 car loads remained to
be cared for, and the Council of
Defense, on hearing of these
facts, earnestly advised the far
mers to take instant precautions
to care for these 700 cars by pit
ting" them. 1t was urged that
additional cars could not be had
the entire nation was suffering,
and the communities themselves
must do their utmost to preserve
their crops from the frost.
The Council of Defense,
through its subcommittee, i'm
mcdiately offered to send men
into any district to instruct far
mcrs as to the best and quickest
methods Of digging pits for the
potatoes. This pitting, too, ex-
tends to apples and other perish
ablcs. OF course, the council and
the utilities commission has seen
to it that pcrishable were moved
first and that districts were
served with every available car,
in proportion to their crop of per-
ishables, yet the fact remains that
there have been insufficient cars,
because coal and oil and other
commodities of which a fighting
4 nation stands in need must be
hauled.
The motto of "Pcrishables
First" will stand SO long as nee
essary. After that the other farm
stuffs will be moved as quickly as
possible.
Heavy cnlistments of trainmen
have depleted the ranks; also
among engine men, and the roads
are actually suffering. This con-
dition extends over all of Uncle
Sans domain, yet it is fact, de-
spite these untoward circum-
stances, that Colorado has been
saved thousands, millions of dol,
: lars through the wisdom of its
Council of Defense in starting
; early on the storage proposition
) And these same storage facilitie:
: will be available in other years
: too.
The Council of Defense has in
;imated that any vacant building
belonging to the state may b.
, handed over to a community fol
; storage purposes. This was cvi
, lcnccd whcn Grand Junction wa.
!. notified that the buildings of TIL.
Indian school could be used as [;
store place for the apple crop oI
The Grand valley.
Right now the council is rcceiv
. ing daily reports from all over thu
+ state as to the crop movements
, and everything is being done t,
save the harvest. But the carnes
WORD goes out that each commun
ity should at once store its un
, moved surplus until such time a.
5 cars are available.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Investigation of
an alleged Chicago police graft ring
led to the taking into custody early
today Of Thomas Newbold, wealthy
hotel and cafe owner. Maclay Hoyne,
states attorney, who is conducting the
investigation, refused to make public
the reason for Newbold's detention,
but pointed out that several promin-
ent hotels controlled by Newbold have
been the scene of police raids.
Newbold was taken into custody
shortly after Mr.. Hoyne announced
that Thomas Costello and Lieut..
Augustus M. White, both under arrest,
have confessed directly connecting
Charles G. Healey, chief of police, with
the system which he charged levied
tribute amounting to thousands OF
dollars annually on the underworld.
Chief Healey, who was arrested Mon

Mr.. Hoyne asserted also that he had
learned that there was graft within
the alleged graft ring and that some
of it's members had defrauded others
in collection and division of money.
