SIDE TALKS

Tho peculiar way in which the writ

And You Know What Double Coat or

And VET at tho end of yeat Il judge

Some wonderful Financing.
All this n less than tt"e thousand
dollars. though the mortgage alone was
five thousand.
In another story the exact opposite
happens: The author represents 4
family Of brothers and sisters as Strug-
Cling with the most abject poverty.
Yet they all live together in n house
which. as I remember. they own. and
their combined wages at the work which
rho author describes must have aGEre-

leave them all decent margin. l sus-

And here is another story which
fand doubtless. YOU'D have just read.

HATEFUL PROFITEERING.

| Extra profits out of the war, says Mr..
Hoover, are hateful and abhorrent to all decent
people. Yet there are indecent people in the
country whose one idea is to squeeze the last
cent out of anybody-the government, our allies
and the people-and he can see no way OF
reaching them except by graduated excess
profits tax.
| There is, of course, this difficulty: that ex-
tortioners eager to enrich themselves at the ex-
pense of any and everybody and to coin the
necessities of the nation and their fellow men
into illgotten gold, are, generally speaking, so
devoid of honor and sense of right to hide
their excessive profits by fraud and perjury if
they can. Public opinion is powerless to re-
strain the greed Of these porcine creatures.
Like their quadruped kinsmen at the trough
they will gorge themselves without the least re-
gard for the aversion and contempt of high
minded men. On such exploiters Of the people
the government must lay a heavy hand; and
few examples of profiteers in prison would do
more to deter the rest than all the diatribes of
Mr.. Hoover and all the homilies on patriotism
preached to them in the press
There are credible reports from Germany
that the Krupps and other manufacturers are
amassing enormous fortunes out of the war.
Their government is powerless to restrain
them, or dares not attempt it, for their rela-
tons are very close with the junker land own
ers who the agrarian profteers. But the
people will deal effectively with them when the
time comes; and it is supremely important
that the people of our own and allied lands
should have no right to feel and evidence
on which to assert that the war enabled any
class of citizens to prey upon the necessities of
the rest. Lands where this has been allowed
will not escape unrest and turbulence in the
years to follow the war when the bolsheili and
the impoverished proletariats of the central
empires may be tearing down everything on
which they can lay their hands.
