| Relieving that food profiteers
are expressing the public thru
excessive prices of wheat sub
stitutes, the Tacoma city council
will ask congress at once to give
Food Administrator Hoover pow
er to regulate prices of the sub
stitutes.
While the public is being ask
ed to purchase an equal amount
of wheat substitute every time it
buys flour or other wheat prod
ucts, the substitutes had been
boosted in price until they are
costing twice as much as the
wheat products.
/ Commissioner Gronen preached
| the idea to the council.
IL have experienced this hard
ship, and many of my friends
have spoken to me about it, he
told the council.
Pure PrOfiteering.
at is just a case of profiteer-
ing by the persons handling SUBJ
stitutes, and the public is being
gouged frightfully."
Other members agreed with
Gronen, and figures were quoted
I showing the corn meal, barley
flour and other wheat flour
substitutes have advanced to an
almost prohibitive figure. :.
1.-THE trouble is that congress
has given Hoover the power to
Regulate wheat prices, but not to
regulate the prices of substi-
tutes," said Gronen.
"This has resulted in the worst
piece of profiteering that we have
felt since the war began
II Make 1t Hot One.
Mayor Fawcett appointed City
Attorney Harmon, with Commits
sioners Gronen and Atkins, as a
committee to draw up a memor-
ial to congress, demanding that
action be taken to stop the prof
iteering.
And make it a hot one, so they
cant overlook it," said Fawcett.
The memorial will be sent to
Congressman Albert Johnson
with the request that congress
take action at once. 1t will be
signed by the entire city council.

FARE DECISION
is NOT ISSUE
Utilities Commission Makes No Re-
port as Yet on SeVen-Cent
Rate Findings.

No final decision has been divulg-
ed by the Illinois state utilities
commission to the city officials OF
Rock Island, Moline and East Mo
line as to future developments to
be expected in the seven-cent fare
request made by the Tri-City Rail-
way company.
John q. Huntoon, general mana
ger of the street car company, ap-
peared at the Rock Island city hall
yesterday afternoon and in a short
discussion with Mayor William Nc
Conochie and City Attorney j. Is.
Scott stated that he believed that
the utilities commission will grant
the two-cent increase within a
short time Mayor McConochie
stated that in case an increase is
granted he does not believe that as
high an increase as two cents Will
be given the company. Regarding
Rock Island arsenal workmen be-
ing given street car service to and
from the arsenal at a reduced rate,
the manager stated that this is &C
counted for by a contract entered
into with the government.
City officials hold that the com
pany has also entered into a con-
tract with the citizens Of Rock Is
land to give service for a tive-cent
fare.
City Attorney Scott explains that
the hearing in Chicago a week ago
yesterday was before but one COM
missioner, whose duty it was to
take the evidence submitted by
both sides and to have said evidence
compiled into a complete report,
which will be examined by the com
mission as a whole for the purpose
of reaching a decision. Represen-
tatives of the cities affected made
an effort to have the granting of a
temporary seven-cent fare postpon-
ed with the purpose in view of gain
ing time and also to put the cases
of the cities in such way as TO
make it incumbent on the part of
the commission to conduct an in
vestigation as Intermediates TO
bring about a fair solution of the
contentious, and induce the COM
mission to send an engineer here to
set a fair valuation on the conf
pany's property for which valua-
ton the company is asking a divi-
dend for the monetary investment
in sums put forth in its petition.
Final decision and action of the
commission is anxiously awaited by
city officials 1t is announced that
in case the seven-cent fare is al
lowed, Illinois residents will be
compelled to pay this amount OF
fare while Davenporters without
doubt will receive. service for five
cent fare, as Iowa has no utilities
commission and the Davenport city
council is supreme and will be hard
to deal with regarding allowance of
an increase in rates.
