HOW 1T WORKS OUT.

The total vote for president in Min
nesota in 1915 was $4,000. The Re-
publican vote in the primary election
this year totaled $50, 900, of which
100000 was for Governor Burnquist
and 100000 for L%indbergh, the Nom
partisan league candidate. In the con-
test of the Democratic candidates for
governor the total vote was only 3d.
900.
The Republican vote of Minnesota
can not fairly be stated at more than
100000 and the normal Democratic
vote is nearly 5000, but the returns
show that about 100000 Democrats
went in to have a little fun in the
Republican primaries.
The total vote at the primaries was
nearly as large this year as the total
for president in 1916. The direct pri-
mary is efficient in this, at least-it
affords the minority party a lot Of
innocent amusement.-Boise States

Are we halfway through the war?

The deeper indications seem to be that
the end is rather far off. We must

But why should we believe Potsdam?

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war profits,
stated that the five large meat packers have been profteering and
that they have a monopoly of the market
These conclusions, if fair and just, are matters of serious concern
not only to those engaged in the meat packing business but to
every other citizen of our country.
The figures given on profits are misleading and the statement that
the packers have a monopoly is unsupported by the facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove their
profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business is one of the largest American industries. Any
citizen who would familiarize himself with its details must be
prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits Of four large packers
were $|l40OOOOOO for the three war years.
This sum is compared with $l9,OOOOOO as the average annual pro-
fit for the three years before the war, making it appear that the
war profit was Sl21 100000 greater than the pre-war profit.
This compares a three-year profit with a one-year proft-a mani
festly unfair method of comparison. 1t is not only misleading,
but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has made a mis-
take in the figures themselves.
The aggregate t~hree-year profit of $~l40,O0O,OO was earned on
sales Of over four and a half billion dollars. 1t means about three
cents on each dollar Of Sales-or a mere traction OF a cent per
pound Of product.
Packers profits are a negligible factor in prices of live stock and
meats. No other large business is conducted upon such small
margins Of profit.
Of this profit has been paid in dividends. The balance has been
put back into the businesses. 1t had to be, as you realize when
you consider the problems the packers have had to solve-and
solve quckly-durng these war years.
To conduct this business in war times. with higher costs and the
necessity of paying two or three times the former prices for live
amount Of working capital The additional profit makes only a

fair return on this, and as has been stated, the larger portion of
and to provide additions and improvements made necessary by
the enormous demands of our army and navy and the Allies.
If you are a business man you will appreciate the significance of
these facts. If you are unacquainted with business, talk this mat
ter over with some business acquaintance-with your banker, say
and ask him to compare profits of the packing industry with
those of any other large industry at the present time.
No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission in sup
port of the statement that the large packers have a monopoly.
The Commissions own report shows the large number and i'm
portance of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to prove to
any fair minded person that they are in keen competition with
each other, and that they have no power to manipulate prices.
If this were not true they would not dare to make this positive
statement.
Furthermore, government figures show that the five large pack
es mentioned in the report account for only about one-third of
the meat business of the country.
They wish it were possible to interest you in the details of their
business. OF how, for instance, they can sell dressed beef for less
than the cost of the live animal, owing to utilization of b~yprOducts,
and of the wonderful story of the methods of distribution through
out this broad land, as well as in other countries.
other to the extent of together presenting this public statement.
They have been able to do a big job for your government in its
time of need; they have met all war time demands promptly and
completely and they are willing to trust their case to the fairmind-
edness of the American people with the facts before them.

GOVERNMENT WILL GIVE REAL TEST OF
 PUBLIC UTILITIES
Steps Being Taken to Show What Can Be Done Under
 Federal Control

l Washington, November 21.-(Special)
 The government is preparing to give the public real service on railroads, over
 telephone and telegraph wires, and
 through transatlantic cables. This fact
 was established November ? when the I President took over in the name of the
 country the cable service-an action which was not announced until November | IS, week after the signing of the armis-
 tice.
 1 Up to the present time the government admits that it's chief service has consisted
 in preventing the railroads from break i ing down, rather than in giving the people an adequate return for their
 money. Despite increased traffic rates
 and freedom from legal supervision, the government has put the people in an
 attitude of patient suffering. The req son said to be war conditions. With
 those conditions alleviated the govern ment is preparing to give a visible dem- onstration of what can really be done | in normal times under government con | trol of public utilities.
 Railroad travel, it is promised, will be made comfortable and pleasant; trains will be operated on time; ticket agents | and train crews will be deprived of their autocratic manner. Hereafter one will be able to obtain a telephone connec- l ton within a reasonable time limit, and secure the transmission of a telegram dthlng the space of at least 24 hours. It is believed to be the conclusion of the administration that prior to the big battle in Congress for and against gov errment control which means for and against government ownership, the insti- | tuition should not be presented unfairly, before an opportunity has been given for | a fair trial.

TRIAL JUDGE ASKS
 GOVERNOR NEW
 TRIAL FOR MOONEY
Letter Made Public Declares Evidence of Fraud and Conspiracy Has Been
 Discovered

San Francisco, November 21.-A letter from Judge Franklin A. Griffin, who tried and sentenced Thomas J. Mooney to Governor Stephens. asking that Mooney be given a new trial because or evidences of a fraud conspiracy agalnsu him, was made public here today Ihe letter was written November ls Mooney was convicted of murder in connection with bomb explosion here, and IS to be hanged December 1S.
 Commenting on his previous plea to U S. Webb, attorney general of the state' that Mooney be retried, Judge Griffin said in the letter:
 1T believed then that simple justice and fair play demanded such action and from that position I have never for a moment receded. On the contrary that stand has been by later developments greatly strengthened"
 In the letter Judge Griffin character ized as open to attack the testimony of Frank C. Oxman, Durkee, Oregon, cat tleman; Mrs. Nellie Edeau, and her daughter Sadie, and John Mcdonald.
 Defense attorneys had contended that the testimony of these witnesses was subject to impeachment, and in Oxman's case perjury had been committed.
 "The situation of Mooney Is that he stands condemned to death upon evidence concerning the truth of which, to say the least, there has arisen very grave doubt" the letter said.
 The highest courts in the state and nation have declared themselves to be without power to relieve him. Upon the shoulders of the chief executive there- fore rests this great responsibility.
