actually invited it. Just a year ago
this time. when it became apparent
that these rules would enormously
swell the profits of the millers, and
work grea hardship upon the wheat
farmers two hundred and fifty Reno
county farmers petitioned Governor
Capper for an investigation by him
self and his attorney general. He ig-
nored the petitions, and up to the pres
ent time has never investigated the
situation. He has denounced these
rules in public speeches. but has con-
has talked one way to the farmers.
and acted the other way with the mill
lers.
Governor Capper cannot escape re-
sponsibility for the profiteering of the
millers in this state. The law gives
the state grain inspector the power to
designate the rules for grading wheat
within the limits of the state. and the
state grain inspector is appointed by
Governor Capper and acts under the
governors authority.

sponsible for their acts. Elective Of

Defenders of the governor will
point out that these state grading
rules are the same as the federal rules
That is~true. but because the federal
government sees fit to impose an un-
just set of grading rules on the eta te

forcing upon the people the same in
Justice within the state. Furthermore
mad Governor Capper, as head of the
state. refused to endorse these unjust
rules, he could have forced a change
long before it was made. Every de-
mand for modification of these rules
was handicapped by the fact that this
the greatest wheat producing state

them its approval

Under Franco-Italian pressure the
Austrian troops in Albania have re-

the direction of the Skumbi river, and

announced from Vienna probably was
due to the Italian progress around
Fieri and the French advance between
Lake Ochrida and the Tormorica val

retreating, pursued by the allied
forces. The fighting in the Macedon-
ian theater has spread eastward, and
the Bulgarians are making strong at

draw allied attention from Albania.
