CONG. BAER WOULD
. HIT AT SOURCE Of
WAR PROFITEER|NG

Congressman Baer. of North Da-
kota, recently renominated for Conf
gress, came out today in favor of
Government action to curb the prof.
teering on the necessities of life and
articles in common use. Mr.. Baer
declared there was a great fallacy in
the policy OF allowing corporations
and others to profiteer and then to
extract part OF their profits from
them by taxation.
"The trouble with this" said Mr..
Baer. "is that II is a tax on the con-
sumner in disguise. The money which
the Government receives is wrung
out of the public by profiteering and
then IL is passed on to the Treasury
in part. The public pays the freight.
The profiteering corporation or con-
Germ doesn't suffer. and in reality by
this system escapes taxation and gets
away with a sufficient amount of
loot to pile up more net profits than
it made in the pre-war period.
Hit mt Source.
what should be done is to hit at
prohteering at the source. The prices
of articles of ordinary use OF food
stuffs, clothing, and so on, should be
held down to a reasonable figure.
The method OF permitting prof.
teering and then taxing part Of the
profits out of the profteer. which is
now so freely advocated, is simply an
adroit scheme to compel the con-
sumner to pay the cost OF the war.
1--WE have all heard objection to
paying the cost OF the war by con-
sumption taxes. II such objections
are sound. then we shouldn't assent
the COM umer by indirection-"
COnseript Excess.
Mr.. Iaer said that inasmuch as
great corporations and others had
already wrunE extortionate profits
out OF the people, he would con-
script all these excess profits from
the profiteers, leaving no more than
a fair net return. Moreover he
would 20 back to reach the profits
of the last several years.
That is the best we can do so
far as the past is concerned" he said.
But as to the future, We should
curb profiteering.
II voted for $40 wheat" he add
ed. But l doubt il IL would have
done the farmer much good. II he
has 20 cents more put in one pocket
and 40 cents taken out Of the other
by the selfishness Of the protiteers,
he isn't helped. The farmer will not
profit as much by $40 wheat as by
1920 wheat IL the Administration
will go down the line and fix fair
prices on implements, shoes. clothing
and other things that the farmers
and consumers generally have 10
buy"
so Per Cent Inadequate.
Referring to the talk OF imposing
an so per cent tax on profiteering
concerns. Mr.. Baer declared this in
adequate, and that the profiteers
could well afford to snap their fin
gers and laugh at such a proposal,
as il meant they would make their
getawy" with tremendous gains cut
of the necessities OF the people.
THE big business man, the Dig
profiteering corporation. as shown by
the report OF the Federal trade com
mission, Mr.. BaeT added, lis max
ng inordinate profits. The small
business man in the middle West'
and doubtless elsewhere, is being
taxed to the limit. He is not get
ting any fat war contracts either.
The result Is that the condition OF
the small business man is not
healthy. II is like taxing rich men

most efficient of modern office appliances. The business man likes 1t because it enables him to turn out his correspondence with speed and accuracy. But he re- alized that there was still a weak ness in his correspondence; what he dictated was recorded with the errlng pencil and what did not go down correct could not come back correct.
 He now welcomes Combination Shorthand because he sees his dctation go down accurately in print to come back accurately transcribed. Combination Short hand is simple because it is done mechanically. It is legible be- cause 1t is print. It is rapid be- cause it is written on the type writer with eight nimble fingers instead of the hand cramped around pencil.
 Combination Shorthand notes are interchangeable. They are so legibie that one stenographer can read another's notes. Com bination Shorthand may be writ ten at high rate of speed with pencil in the absence of a type- writer. It Is d combination ma chine and pencil system.
 No system of note taking has ever caused so much favorable comment perhaps as has Comoi- nation Shorthand. It is admit ted to be the logical way. It meets the Civil Service and court room tests as we'll as being suc- cessfully used on associated press work.

gan. We were woke from our sleep on Eas- ter morn, Though chilled to the bone. fatigued and worn, n drenching rain and wind from the north, On that murdelou hike we started forth. Over mountains and valleys, over riv- CTS and rills, Dur caissons rumbled, across Frances hills, And we knew not where, or the time that would pause. A stop to this hike, or even pause. s'or our orders were given to reach point "Q", And it was up to our boys to die or do, So on through the morn, in a drench- ing rain, Ve plodded along worn out and in pain And we then made VOW, as the knights of old, Chat the hun would pay for the hike ten-fold. We travelled through towns which had once been joy, A Id hatred possessed us, which naught could alloy. For we gazed at the ruins of peaceful homes, Now masses of wreckage and broken stones, "Mementes" to stand till time is done, To the "cultured" war of the British hun. On through the town, up steep wind ing road We had travelled ten "kilos" our packs were load, Which at every new step caused hun
 hatred to grow, As the virgin grass. in the sunlights glow. Twas an hour past noon when halt came at last, And we fell in for mess to break our fast, A more weary, hungrier, rain soaked Had ne ger been witnessed in France s fair land The rest was as welcome to man and beast. As the rising sun in the glowing east. So we lounged on the curbing, blue and
 forlorn, From the hell-hike we started on Eas-
 ter morn Next day came the order to harness and hitch, And we plodded through town to hill
 with pitch, Of forty degrees and a road which we say, Was knee deep in mud. and clingine
 clay, Which chung at wheels of timber and
 piece, Till we used eight teams to furnish re-
 lease. For three long hours we labOred, until At six. we'd attained the crest of the
 hill, Our nerves were unstrung, our bres tf
 coming fast, Our only one question; how long will il
 last? As we threw ourselves down at full
 length in the clay, Our whole life was dreary, save one
 single ray.

For we knew that the future would
 give us the chance, To stagRer the Bosches for freedom
 and France. We had showed them our worth at a
 point further north, And when needed down here, we again
 sallied forth; And once more we repeated the Kaiser
 will pay, For the hell-hike we took on that Eas-
 ter day. We had stretched out our picket. pre-
 pared for the night. When the order came down all was not
 right; So again down the hill we were forced
 togo, Through night as black as the black
 est crow In mud to the waist, with a slip and
 spill, We finally managed the foot of the hill; Then out on the highway, again we
 rolled on, With stop for strsggler aye and
 anon, Till two in the morn of black hellish
 day,
 In the puddles of mud on hillside we
 lay,
 Exhausted and spent. we cared not if
 it rained, For our march was finished, our
 point We had gained; But the memory still burns in our minds
 as brand, And will finger. till back in our fair
 dear land, Where at peace with the world and be-
 heath one sun, We are brothers again. save the brit
 tish hun, And then, ever then he'll continue to
 pay.
 For the he'll hike we took on that
 EASTER DAY.
 This poem is true and no one in the States can imagine what we passed through. The posi- tion where we are tonight is full of water but not a drop to drink. We wash in a little ditch which is so small that we have to hunt it. We have to boil our water and then dope it up to lrink. We are so close to the German lines that we have to be very careful. 1 can go up about a hundred yards on top of the hit and from there we can see the German trenches, We are out all during the night and day. l think we have the Germans 'bul- lled', they leave us alone, but if they want to start something we are ready to call their hand.
 1 see where Uncle Sam has stopped the boxes" to the American force men. know of three of mine that have been re- turned. 1 will certainly miss mine but if they need the boats l am willing to do without mine. Of course l have been enjoying then in the past. but we will soon be used to doing without anything of pleasure. 1 will close for tonight, sending loye to all.
