BIG HILL LINERS

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE

ern Pacific plying between Flavel

A TIME FOR SERVICE, NOT
PROFIT

~ HE United States is in this
VI war to save itself from
humiliation and possible
disaster. We are fighting not
from free choice but because
the nation was compelled to do
so in self respect. We are in
the war to protect our ideals
of government and to help save
civilization from the domina-
6On Of a military autocracy
that openly admits its purpose
to rule by the mailed fist.
Sacrifice is the order of the
day, not personal profit. To
the vast majority of people the
war means no personal gain.
To hundreds of thousands it
means military service and
possible death in battle or in
camp. To others it means ad-
vanced living costs with but
scant wage increase if at all to
balance off the increased ex-
peuse. The war means hard
ship and in many homes the
degree of want during the COM
ing winter may be extreme.
Safety for the nation and for
the people depends to a great
extent upon the success of the
food controi work by Herbert
Hoover. He has a task of won
derfnl magnitude and his work
Eaust and should be conducted
with an eye single to the ma
tion's welfare. He can think
Ssuiy of the general cause and
how we can best contribute to
@ttaining the goal.
Our producers, who as a
general rule are doing well,
SfOuld bear this i'm mind. They
are going to be treated liber-
ally. Of this there can be no
doubt. but they must not expect
too much. For these men as
for others the ideal must be

FAR REACHING POWERS

AK KEACktLNG EOWENS
M'E food bill, passed August
! VI s, is vastly more far
reaching than is COM
imonly supposed. 1t is not
mandatory, yet bestows upon
the President of the United
States power to regulate indus
try on scale and with a COM
lpletenesS never before exercis-
ed in any country of the world.
Mr.. Wilson may when he
choose completely regulate
nearly all of the great indus
tries of the United States. Our
railroads are already under
practically government regula-
tion, and shipping is gradually
approaching the same control.
The government has recently
laid its hand upon the export
trade, and it is now proposed
to similarly regulate the import
traffic of the country. Along
with these measures comes the
power to regulate prices. Truly
war is a one-man business.
These vast powers could be
used for veal or woe, but Mr.. |
Wilson has the confidence of |
the people and can be relied |
upon to act wisely: Every
thing depends upon the direc-
ton and degree to which they |
are applied. If drastically |
used. much loss and confusion
will be inevitable. If used with
care and prudence, they may
accomplish great good. They
can only be justified as war
for trade and indus
try will ever prosper more un-
der self-development and regu-
lation than under government
domination. These new meth
DDS have, of course, introduced
great changes into business.
Now that the food regulation
dill has been passed and the
letails of the revenue measure
ire settled, business can be
reed of many uncertainties.
md will be better able to un-
iertale obligations entering
nto the future. With these
wo all important measures /
practically settled, much of
he doubt which paralyzed
business for the past three
months will disappear and the !
way will be opened to renewed
ctivity. Agricultural pros l
