CONCERNING WHEAT PRICES

Some of the congressman from the wheat belt Of the
middle west yesterday voiced the opinion that the fixing
of the price of wheat $220 bushe worked hardship
on their constituents They did this simply as bid
for popularity-at home They claimed the growers OF
the southern district had sold their wheat at considerably
more than this and the price should have been made high
enough to permit the other growers to get as much as
their fellow farmers further south They overlook the
fact that the price than double the average and
that the grower will get the money instead OF the spec
ator having big rake off, They also overlook the plain
fact that the law which permitted the fixing of prices was
held up for weeks by their body and that they are
to blame that it did not go into effect before any OF the
crop from the south had been Sold They also point out
that the grower the markets gets higher price than
those in the Dakotas for instance account OF the ad
ditiona freight Yet this is condition that has always
existed and perhaps always will On the other hand the
farmer the markets has more money invested
his land and this up the prices These have to get
more for their crops than those using cheaper lands
order to get equal return their Investments More
than ALL they overlook the fact that the price is about all
the consumer can stand While the latter is uncom-
painngly paying the increased price for his bread mel
also has some rights and should not be made to bear the
whole burden With wheat at $220 bushel the reason
able grower will be satisfied for it is double what ne has
ever received

CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS

The conscientious obector to takes position the
average person cannot understand We all object to
and of dseire to kill fellow beings. That is
easily understood How far should this spirit be carried
lis the question Self defense and the defense of ones
family is law of nature The most peaceful animal will
fight for its young if necessary and the birds that ordn
ariy will fly at ones approach become reckless of life
and do all they in their broods in danger 1t
is the law of all breathing life to fight when self defense
or that of its own, demand it.
We are not finding fault with the conscientious OBJ
ector but how far does he think the principle should be
followed Would he refuse to attack thug who kill
ing his family? Would his objections go to the extent Of
allowing someone to murder him without trying to de-
fend himself? The liberty of the world is at stake in the
present Does the conscientious objector believe it
better to submit to slavery rather than kill the
monster who would enslave him? Conscientious obec
ton should have the saving grace of the belief of fol-
lower of the faith of predestnaton in the old days when
