NO GOVERNMENT MEDDLING

Writing on ship board while return
ing from long visit in Europe, Edi-
tor C. w. Barron, of the Boston News
Bureau, says:
"The great development in the tele-
phone has come in the United States
where there has been no government
interference. In England the tele-
phone has been for many years a
joke. Six pense kilograms cost the
taxpayers double that amount, and
there is no incentive to work or invent
for an improbable service"
Advocates Of government owner
ship take pleasure in telling about the
low rates charged for telegraph SER
vice in England, but they forget to
tell about the deficits that must be
met by taxation. Advocates of gov
ernment operated railroads like to
tell of the great reforms they expect
to see accomplished, but they disre-
gard the teachings Of experience in
England and Canada.

ALLEGES PRoFITEERINc BY
RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS

"Profiteering" by many restaur-
ants and hotel men around the state
in boosting prices and in serving
smaller portions. is given severe CEN
sure by the monthly bulletin of the
state health board.
Under this caption the health
board bulletin says:
Every man with red blood in him
is more than willing to abide by the
regulations. Of the fooo admin,stra
ton. Personal observation. however.
leads US to believe that many restaur-
ants and hotels, under the guise of
abiding by the regulations and taking
advantage Of the people and are serv-
ing extremely small portions at un-
reasonably high prices. There is an
actual shortage of certain foods, but
there is no good reason for charging
exhorbitant prices for these foods of
which there is no shortage. We feel
concerned on this score because IN
questionably many people are not get
ting the amount nor vauetS OF food
necessary TO maiotain their health
and efficiency"
