Alderman Quinn's ordinance, brought
before the City Council at my bchear
l. passed would stamp out ticket
speculation in New York, as it has in
other cities, and any one having any
power should work for it, and l am

attractions that the public want 70

the theatre to protect the public and
see thai tfeir patrons can get their
tickets at box Office prices.
The management Of our big hotels
of our great city, who | admit de-
rive great benefit from the ticket
agencies placed in their lobbes, could
greatly help the present state of af-
fairs by compelling ,hese agencies to
sell their tickets at premium cf not
more than 80 cents over the box Office
price. but whether .his ordinance is

The theatres are compelled by the
United States to stamp on each ticket
ct the price at which that ticket is
sold. and what l can't understand, or
perhaps it has been overlooked by
Uncle Sam, is why that same law does
not apply to the ticket. profiteer. Why
is he allowed to take the very samn
ticket on which the price is stamped
and sell it for more than the pric
stamped on it's face? This is a phas
Of the controversy which has not bee
brought up. Believe me, am in this
fight to the finish, and if Aldcrma
Quinn's ordinance ls not passed, AZ
profteer has privileges that are dc
ried others. In communication fro.
District Attorney Swami, l am glad

PACKERS CLAIM
SPECIAL PRIVILEGES

Although Swift & Co. themselves
gave their 1917 net earnings as A
per cent. on common stock, Mr.. Swift
wants the government and the peo-
pie to believe that it is no more than
is necessary for efficient conduct OF
the business. He holds that the
packers have to carry excessively
heavy inventories, and that great
deal of money is needed for expan-
sion of plants. But he does not ex-
plain why it takes such. an enormous
net profit as Al per cent on a capital
ization that is doubtless largely wat
er. The trouble with the packers is
that they have. got so used to hog
ging profits that they think they are
really entitled to all they can get. 1t
is up to the people to. show them
that they are just ordinary Ameri-
cans, entitled to fair pay for their
services, and no more.

The administrations attitude to-

lined before the Chicago Association
Of Commerce Monday by Louis h.
Post. assistant secretary Of labor.
"The time may come" he sald,
s'when we will have to conscrlpt
workers in mines, forests and fac
tories, but in. the name OF democracy
these men shall not be conscrlpted
until we have first conscripted the
places where they shall work. This
democracy will not stand for the

profit of other men. The consc1ptee
man must work for Uncle Sam and

While the farmers stood patriotic

The recent primaries came in the
midst of a harvest in which the
farmers were far behind, because OF
the fact that labor is short; the farm
ers' sons and hired men being away
fighting under the "stars and stripes

field that their brothers overseas
might come to taste of liberty; and
because they realized that the world
food supply is short, that these sol

The Primaries

The vote cast at the primaries last
Tuesday. was exceptionally SMALL.
The towns and villages for the
most part got out their entire
strength, but the farmers, owing to
the fact that the grain was Smelling
and the harvest was far behind, did
not cast more than a quarter OF their
vote. but what was cast "stuck" al
most to a man. The way they
"stuc:.." brought despair to the hearts
of the gangsters. 1t is true that the
farmers did not put over their entire
ticket, but that fact was due entire
ly to the fact that the farmers did
not get out to vote.
Many farmers and their wives were
deprived of a vote because they had
not registered. This will be les
son to them and they will see to 1t
that they are registered for the fall
election.
If the farmers want to thoroughly
understand how interested the cities
and villages are in their welfare they
can find out for themselves by look
ing over the election returns.
It will be found that the bankers
and merchants who dominate the: vii

There is no farmer on the .con-

apply to gasoline used on farms. AS
Arthur Brisbane says in the Wash

farmers to produce more and then
invent taxes for him when he tries

Is the distribution of wealth such
as to act as an incentive to industry
and thrift or is it such as to impress
the ordinary man with the hopeless
ness of his situation? This is cues
ton asked by an American econom-
ist. He then states the facts as
his statistics indicate. "F'or the
young man having the average start
in life" he writes, "the chances are
about one to four or five that he
will accumulate property worth men

will become moderately wealthy"
He points out that the poorest two
thirds Of the population own but a
pctty 5 or 6 per cent of the wealth
This two-thirds consists of those
having little OR no savings, nothing
except furniture, clothing and per-
sonal belongings. The lower middle
class composes Is per cent OF the IN

will actually benefit the small bust
ness man. Yet these people are so
stupid that they would be the tools
OF the copper trust and work against
their own ultimate friends, for their
OWN obstruction, rather than for the
farmers and their own ultimate sue
cess.
In the face of the demonstration
that the villages have made is there
any wonder that the mail order bust
ness increases apace ard local busi-
nes SIS men go into the hands Of the
Ices ivers.
II mas been the hopes Of this pa
Der to show the local and small bust
tness man that the farmers are actu-
ally their friends, that they want to
deal with them, if they are given a
| chance, or if the business men show
). that they had some sympathy for and
interest in those whom they depend
upon for support.
| However, there will be no cooper
alton between the farmers and Tho
local business men as long as they
persist in biting the hands that feet
them.
The farmers need the local Dusi
nessmen, not too many of them, an'
are willing to go half way to NEE
them, but if it is peace with victor,

will surely make peace on thos
