"0n Account Of the War;"
Take off the cloak OF secrecy!

lake OH the CLOAK OF secrecy!
Let the profteers stand in the great searching
light of full publicity.
Show them in their true colors-grabbing
greedy, toll takers, who as they pile up unearned
dollars take milk from babies bottles, food from
the mouths of workers and clothing from their
backs, heat from their homes and pleasure from
tLeir lives.
Give them a dose of that "pitiless publicity"
President Wilson believes will scorch the soul of
the most dollar-depraved sinner.
The new revenue law should make it possible
for the Treasury Department to disclose the
criminal secrets of income taxpayers.
Unlike every other wrongdoer the prohteer is
shielded in his iniquity. He is guarded against
punishment-even the punishment of publicity.
He is given a free rein to increase profits and
prices and this government is not allowed to point
the finger of at him. 1t cannot even as
much as slap the wrist of the pro6teer who adds
to the peoples war burden and pleads the lying
exeuse-"Ifs on account of the war;"
But Congress can put this whip of publicity
into the Administrations hands.
1t can write into the revenue law per-
mission to the Treasury Department that it may
reveal the names of these pro6teers. Claude Kit
chin and his colleagues in the House may put
this in the bill they are framing; the Senate should
keep it in.
We want to know who among wealthy
corporations are prohteering. The people who pay
want to know who is collecting and how much
They have right to know that the high cost OF
living is not on account OF the war, but
count of the war prohteers
There is no more for concealing the
wrongdoing of the prohteer than that Of the high
wayman, burglar second-story worker. OF these
we have greater respect for the highwayman, for
he does not veil his deed with patriotic words nor
hide behind the flag. He does not rob on account
OF the war;
Take this matter up with your Representatives
in Congress. Tell them plainly that you want to
know the names of prohteers; that you want your
Treasury Department to publish those names, and
that you will not vote for any Representative or
Senator who will not vote for
PUBLICITY FOR PRoFITEERS!
