Thinking Ahead to Furs

What About Those Govern

A Suffering Mass Of Government Clerks and War
Hopes Fer Them.

If the so-called Housing Bureau" intends to build
any houses for the benefit of workers. the

One thing is apparent This town is overiIed with
people. 1t has been for long time. The Government
should realize that the great number of designations Of
Government clerks is founded principally the
crowded condition and the responsible authorities must
know that they should have started their building long ago
1t is just important to provide housing facilities for
Government workers here it Is to provide homes for
Government workers in shipyards.
We need active and positive policy of quick build

Humpty-Dumpty Milkmen
They Fen Of Their Wall of Imaginary Shortage of Supply
But They Should Be Punished For Their Confessed
Law Breaking.

Like Hmpy Dumpty, the milkmen fen Of their
imaginary wall of milk shortage yesterday and at the
end Of the hearing before the Commissioners had argued
their case ont Of court.
Their appeal for notification Of an the laws regu-
lating the milk supply of Washington was based on q
wholly fantastic claim that the licensed farms did not
produce enough milk to supply the demand
There is NO SHORTAGE of licensed milk, and any
shortage developed will be A FORCED SHORTAGE With
this fact In view suggest and urge that the District
food commissioner take immediate steps to prevent any
forced shortage.
BE can easily acquaint himself with all legitimate
sources Of supply and determine whether those

One Of the attorneys stated referring presumably to
his clients that enormous quantities Of unlicensed milk
were brought into the city in defiance Of the law.
w. A. SimpsoI, distributor who wanted the law
nuded boosted that he had brought in great deal Of
milk illegally.
In view Of the fact that Commissioner Brownlow the
head Of the District Police Department and Conrad r.
Syme head Of the District Law Department both at
tee listeners these boasts of law breaking there would
seem to be legitimate for delaying an MINED
late PROSECUTION Of the sefconfessed law breakers
There is Of course no possibility that there win be the
least relaxation Of the rules governing milk shipments into
Washington
The preposerous claims and arguments of the petition
erS settled that question beyond all doubt
The authorities have, however, well defined duty to-
perform in conVcting and Furnishing those milk dealers
who, deyng the law openly and wantony endanger the
lives Of thousands by shipping in and selling milk from

Henry Ford is hated especially by al those belonging
to the class of special privilege because he favors Govern

The classes of special privilege through their tame
corporation lawyers and office holders have been in the
habit Of sweeping aside Government ownership advocates
as theorists.
But they cannot call theorist the man who has done
than any hundred others in America solve the prob
lem Of quick cheap transportation.
They know that in the Senate Ford will work con-
vincingly and earnestly speaking with the authority of
gigantic industrial success on these lines:
First for high wages to the workers.
Second for the lowest price, commensurate with fair
profit to the public.
Third for ownership by the public of natural monopo
