"REGuLATING' COTTON PRICES

ID
A committee of five senators and
five representatives in congress rom
the cotton states have been charged
bSStheir cotton colleagues with aheduty
sacred crop which their constituents
raise. Meanwhile earnest protests
come from the cotton belt, where the
growers are firm in the belief that
the claw of supply and demand should
govern" what they produce, but
should not apply to the things they
consume when produced in the west
and the east
The claw of supply and demand
has been set aside with wholesome
results in the cases of wheat, sugar,
coal, wool and other products. But
cotton is different. So at least argue
those who raise it and those who
represent them. They are willing
to have the government fix a fair
price for wheat WOOL coal and cop
per, between the producers and the
consumers thereof. They will admit
that this has been done fairly, and
that 1t has assured the producers gen.
orally Of a steady price and falr
margin of profit. They also agree
that it has saved the country from
constantly soaring prices and COM
binations which would insure prof.
teerlns.
But they insist upon making every
one, from the government itself to
the wearer of the cotton shirt, pay
all that the law of supply and de-
mand, in these abnormal times, will
permit.
At the head of the cotton heirarchy
in congress is Congressman Kitchln,
chairman of the house ways and
means committee which has the nam-
ing of all other committees. He has
been able to prevent any regulation of
cotton prices, but hereafter the war
industries board will undertake to1
hold the price to the government at
a reasonable figue. However that at
fords no relief TO the man who wears
cotton shirt or to the woman VINO
uses cotton in the making of hers and
her children's clothes.
But the people Of New Mexico un-l
derstand that the only sure relief for
profiteering in cotton is to elect re-
pubicans to congress-both houses
of congress-who will reorganize thel
committees and make cotton regula 4

PROFESSOR" IMPORTED FROM
AUSTRIA,

1t is shocking to recall that the
its deserved fate in 1915 imported q
professor" from Austria and gave
him a salaried position in order that
he might encourage his countrymen
in an anti-Canadian ''nationalism,"
which they hoped to exploit for their
own profit The most noted contribu-
ton by this creature to the NATIONAL
list propaganda was his celebrated
poem addressed to Canada Thou Sly,
Base Harlot!" With the. coming of
the war this adventurer returned to
Austria to bear arms against us.
This spirit lis still here, all about
us: it is not vocal because it would
not be safe to give too free expression
to these sentiments. But the signs

HE MADE A TERMINAL PAY
Railway AVG Gazette

The late w. H. Newman, one time
president of the New York Central
lines, was responsible for the really
beautiful STRUCTURE which the Grand
Central terminal in New York City
has become. 1t was his idea that the
Grand Central terminal property
should be made self-supporting by the
erection over the underground yard
between Forty second and Fifty
seventh streets a series of buildings
hotels, office buildings, exhibition
halls, etc.--renting for sufficient to
pay interest and taxes not only on
the ground above which they stand,
but upon the entire terminal, includ-
ing the station building itself.

SWEFTOWN HAS Big
HONOR FLAG
PROGRAM
Young Lady, German
Descent, Raises Liber-
ty Loan Banner.

Saturday was the greatest patrio-
tic day held at Swiftown during the
war; the occasion being suitable 10y
atty exercises and a big barbecue for
the raising of the Liberty loan honor
flag.
A party from Greenwood made up
of T. H. Baird, S, S. Steele, Oscar F.
Bledsoe, and s. !. Osborn went over
to take part in the event, which was
arranged by W. A. Swift, who took
such an active interest in the third
Liberty loan campaign at SwiftoWn.
The raising of the flag was held in
open air and more than seven hun
dred people were present to cheer the
banner as it was hoisted to the top
of the pole.
Director Baird of the speakers bur
eau presided and also made a very
interesting talk Director Of Sales,
Oscar F. Bledsoe, Jr., outlined the
manner in which the sales division
was organized, complimented Swift
town and other county workers and
praised the loyalty Of the people, gen
erally. Hon. s. |. Osborn was the
principal speaker Of the afternoon.
His address was along the lines Of
wgr and the part every individual
back home has to play. He stressed
the fact that some very important
work was expected Of the people by
the lads at the front and that it was
un to them to live up to these expec-
tations.
As fitting climax to cap the af-
ternaon's loyalty program, Miss Jean
cite Leaned, a pretty 18year old
young lady, of German descent, but
lust as loyal as any full blooded Am
erican, hoisted the Liberty honor flag
to its pole, amid cheers and wild hur-
rahs from the throng of patriots, who
stood by and saluted as the banner
was strung up.
