GOVERN NENT MUST
OR GAMBLERS WILL
CONTROL OUR FOOD
Trouble Now SmOIdering In
Larger Cities Over Ex-
ceSSive Prices
By Robert ]. Bender

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, June S. Unless there
is relief soon the food situation in the
United States will become acute, ac.
cording to government officials press
ing for action on the administration
food control bill.
The threatened outbreak against
food prices is smoldering and the suf-
fering from lack of life's necessaries
in many of the large cities is now
chronic, they say.
"Bread," Herbert Hoover, food ad-
ministrator, has said, sis the fetish of
food. Without the loaf you cannot
preserve public tranquility.
It is now a question of food control
by the government or by the gamblers,
officials say.
HAlready there is food control out
in the country Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture Carl Vrooman declared
today.
at is food control by the speculator
and gambler tempered by the threat
eming club of indictment. But the
weapon is unwieldly and inadequate. 4"
In the face of this situation congress
is about to tackle the food control bill
which places in the hands of president
Wilson virtual dictatorship of con-
servation and distribution of food.
The only real danger to the measure
is in the senate, it is believed. The
house is expected to pass the bill by a
large majority after a few days de-
bate.
Senators Reed, Missouri; Hoke Smita
of Georgia, and Kirby of Arkansas, to-
gether with others have consistently
held out against further concentration
of authority. That the bill is uneon-
stitutional will be point raised by
some.
There are no surface indications of a
lobby maintained at Washington to
defeat the measure.
The people are apparently urging
their legislative representatives here
to get the bill over because they see in
it relief from oppressive prices. As a
result, officials are confident the bill
will finally be passed provided Pres
ident Wilson keeps his shoulder to the
wheel.

Commercial Club
Arranges Budget
for Coming Season

According to the budget for the COM
ing year of the Salem Commercial club,
only 10.7 cents of each dollar income
of the club will be applied to the main
tanning of the Business Men s League.
probably one of the most important
departments in the club, according to
the views of the business men, as this
department gives them their rating on
the thousands of customers.
The contingent and sinking funl will
receive 2S.4 cents on every dollar Of
income. This is the amount that is real
ly saved from the income of the club.
From each dollar of income, the social
department is to receive 16.1 cents. The
Civic department win get 7.6 cents,
the Industrial department, 3.9 cents,
and the Agricultural department, 7.2.
The legislative and taxation depart
ment receives the smallest income of
any, 81 cents on each dollar of income.
The tourist, publicity and convention
department gets the big end of the
budget, with 23.4 cents out of every
dollar Of receipts.
According to the attendance at
monthly meetings last year, the Busi-
ness Men s League, with its l0.7 cents
of every dollar of income, was the
most active department. Their monthly
meetings are we'll attended as the mem
bers of this department have definite
