The children are the most enthusi-

CLAMP ON FOOD
GOUGERS T|GHTENS
IN NATION NOV. |

The Government will take its FIRST
big smash at retail food prices when
1t assumes absolute control Of twenty
basic food products Thursday.
This control will take the form OF
a licensing system under the food sd-
minlstraion. Food Administrator
Hoover expects to effect material re-
ductions in the retail prices OF the
foods involved. by the nrst OF the
year. He hopes to do this by elimi-
mating waste and excess profits In
the import manufacture, storage and
distribution of the twenty products
Put Up To Public.
His plan is to see that these foods
reach the small retailer at reasonable
prices, tell the public what the deal
ers paid for the goods, and depend
on the public to prevent retailers
charging more than a fair profit.
This. the food administrator pointed
out today, is the only way the prob
lem can be met, as the food control
law does not give Government Juris-
diction over retailers doing less than
500. 900 of business annually.
Retailers doing that much business
will be licensed and controlled. All meat
ners. grain dealers, will have to get q
Government license between now and
November 1 or quit business.
The food administration will see that
all producers have an outlet and ready
market for their products; that all
manipulation and speculation In these
foods is stopped at once. that there is
no boarding OF supplies. that there are
no unfair or unreasonable profits any
where along the line
Penalties For Odenders-
Licensed men or firms caught conspir-
ing to prevent enforcement Of the food
control law will be subject to $1,000 fine
or Imprisonment for two years or both.
Licensed men or firms caught manipu-
lating the market, specializing. boarding
or profiteering. will be subject to 300
fine. or two years in prison. or both.
The commodities affected include:
Wheat. barley. oats. corn. rye. rice.
and all their by products; beans. peas,
cottonseed peanuts, soy beans and their
by-products; oleomargarine and all dairy
products. and eggs: fish. fresh fruits.
vegetables, canned and dried products
Of all kinds; meats. sugar. syrups.

Justice to the Railroads.

Baltimore Sun: 1t is to be hoped
that there is truth in the rumor that
the interstate commerce commission
will reopen the railroad rate question,
and 1t is to be hoped that when it does
it will consider not only the ability of
the railroads to squeeze out. enough
profit TO pay increased wages. increas-
ed costs of supplies and increased tax.
alton, but also the bigger question OF
making returns on railroad invest
ments sufficiently large to enable the
roads to get the new capital that they
require.
In the first six months Of this year
the gross earnings of 400 railroads in
this country were 5000 100000 greater
than for the same period of 1916. But
the net earnings were $1,000, 600 less.
The Increased rates granted this year
did not become fully effective until
August, and business and financial
men awaited the August figures with
great interest in order TO see whether
the increases allowed in May would
improve the situation. A large num-
Der of the August reports are now in,
and they show that the railroads are
worse off than ever. With the largest
gross business ever reported, net earn.
ings are dropping alarmingly. And
this occurs at a time when by reason
of a pooling of interests the ROADS are
nabled TO operate more economically
than ever before.
