Take wheat as an example:
Last year the farmers of this
country received an average of
from $1.45 to S1.55 per bushel
for their wheat. Some got more
many less: but those figures rep
resented the average, according
to official estimates.
Now. when the farmer is get
ting 81. SO a bushel for his wheat.
flour should sell in New York for
about $500 a barrel. All experts
agree on that proposition.
AS matter of fact. during the
last year flour has been selling at
an average price of $14.00 bar
rel: or 100 per cent more than it
should have brought.
Who pocketed the extra $500
barrel?
The consumer paid the money.
but the farmer didn't get it, for
it went into the pocket of the
food pirate.
Under the Lever bill the gov
ernment would guarantee the
farmer minimum price for his
wheat say So 90 a bushel. The
miller would be allowed reason
able profit, the jobber and the
grocer would be compensed and
the consumer would get his flour
for about forty per cent less than
he now pays. &C.,
AS might have been expected.
the effort of the food pirates to
deceive the farmers has failed.
The most influential farmers or
ganization in the country have
indorsed the Lever bill and it is
receiving the earnest support of
the great labor unions. The bus
mess community has also mani
tested it's approval in no uncer-
tain way.

Let the Government Act

The foodstuffs of the country
are in the hands of a horde of
unprincipled scoundrels who are
sucking the nation dry in their
efforts to get rich quick from
speculative profits.
They will continue to suck and
bleed as long as there is a pound
or a dollar left unless the govern
ment is quick to act.
With the young manhood of
the nation marching out to war
and death, it is crime against the
state for these dastardly leeches
to be allowed longer to prey up
on the helpless public.
The government should act with
out an hours delay. 1t should
Jail every one of them, and if the
jails will not hold them there are
plenty of other things that will.
We are a peace loving man, but
pleading and cajoling will not
control the savagery of a wild
beast.
We crush the serpent beneath
our heel, but we allow these
heartless and soulless baby rob-
bers to thrive in our midst.
1t is unthinkable-it is intoler-
able.
The food speculator must go.
Let the government act.

FOOD CONTROL
LEGISLATION.

LEGISLATION.
President Wilson and his ad-
,visors have pointed the way and
at their suggestion the House of
Representatives is now consider
ing the Lever food control bill.
In order to be effective it should
be on the statute books soon af-
ter July 1st. We will put it thru
the House within the next few
days, but only the Lord knows
when the Senate will vote on it.
Powerful and selfish interests
will fight the bill and encourage
Legislators to talk and talk and
talk. Every day gained will
mean millions to the food pirates
Unfortunately the people are
not aroused to the necessity for
hast. II they were in possess
ion of all the facts, they would
thunder at the doors of Congress
and their representatives would
Labor night and day until the
president had an opportunity to
attach his signature to the bill.
FOOD PIRATES ACTIVE
At this moment, the fook pi-
rates are busy. They are con-
tracing for the crops which will
not be harvested for months and
they are preparing to squeeze the
public to the extreme limit.
Telegraphic advices from eight
of the principal potato producing
states reveal the activities of the
speculator. Down in Louisiana
forty per cent of the rice crop
has already been contracted for
and greedy hands are reaching
out for wheat and corn and oats
and barley. The output of every
cannery in the United States has
already been sold. ...
The pirates are determined to
''beat Uncle Sam to it." Presi-
dent Wilson has done what he
could to protect the peoples in
teres.s. He has set all the ma
chinery Of the government in
motion and he has called Herbert
Hoover from Belgium to take the
position of food administrator.
But existing law will not meet
the situation. Hoover can do lit
tie or nothing until the Lever
bill has been passed.
CUTTING THE PRICES
OF STAPLES
Under this bill the admin;stra-
tion hopes to cut the price of the
principal necessaries of life from
thirty to forty per cent. No at
tempt will be made to deal with
every article of food. Only about
fifteen of the prime staples will
be administered. The specula-
tors, for the time being, may do
as they see fit with the luxuries
and semi-luxuries.
We are all interested in the
price of bread. Only a few ore
concerned with the cost of grape
fruit.
Every worker must have suffic
lent good beef. A small lninori
ty is interested in canyas-bsck
duck.
Tire food pirates are making an
adroit campaign. They are at
tempting to hide behind the far
mers.
IF you control food prices you
will reduce the farmers profits"
they cry.
OF course these gentlemen are
not interested in the farmers
profits. What they are worried
about is the spectators rake-off.
