AN ALARM OF FIRE

may come to any home at any time.
No place is exempt. The only way
to be prepared against loss by fire
is by continuously kept up insur-
ance. Don't immagine that because
you have escaped fire so far you al
ways will. Stop in today and order
me to insure you at once.

STATE OWNERSHIP
WORKS. WELL HERE

An advertisement issued by the Ia
Dor government of Queensland, Aus
tralia, and appearing in the Brisbane
Worker of March IA, 1918, bears strik-
ing testimony to the benefits Of state
ownership applied to the very facili-
ties proposed in the platform of the
Nonpartison League.
The League advocates the state
ownership of stock yards and packing
plants. The people of Queensland have
had them for about two years with the
result, as shown in the Brisbane
Worker, that the price Of meat has
been reduced materially to the con-
sumner and the producers have been
enjoying a bigger income than ever.
Parallel columns Of prices show the
| difference between government handl-
ed meat and meat handled by private
companies. In the government shops
/ Of Brisbane sirloin steak is 13 cents
a pound. In the competing private
shops of Brisbane it is Is cents per
pound. In Melbourne, where there is
no government competition, it is "a
cents a pound. Fillet steak under
these conditions is 16, "a and sc cents
a pound; rump steak Is, % and 80
cents a pound. State insurance rates
in Queensland are $3.50 as against
$14.94 under private companies in
} New South Wales.

FARMERS HELD UP
BY FOOD PIRATES
Noted Writer Sees Famine Neal
Unless Market Monopolies
Are Broken.

Endorsement of the National Non
partisan Leagues viewpoint on food
production is found in a recent article
by Miss Agnes C. Laut, one of the
best known writer's of America, i'll the
New Republic of March 30. Under the
title of "Averting Famine" Miss Laut
gives a detailed picture of the serious
situation confronting America.
Monopolized marketing facilities,
she declares, are the cause of this
condition and the destruction of
these is the only possible solution.
The concrete remedy proposed by this
noted author is along the same lines
as that advocated by the N%onpartisan
League-state distribution to %supplant
monopolized marketing-a plan like
that proposed by Commissioner Dill.

would take the products direct from
the farmer to the retailer. Several
Australian states have been doing

"The way to cut the cost of living
in half to the buyer and to double
the profits to the farmer" declares the
writer, sis to cut out the intermedi,
airy private profiteering pirate, who
takes toll at both ends, depressing
prices to the farmer by juggled and
manipulated market lists, and lacking
up prices to the buyer under the cover
OF increased COSTS"
An interesting sidelight on why the
N%onpartisan League is so bitterly at
tackled is shed by this author in the
following explanation concerning the
desperate resistance of the profiteers
to all attempts to secure reforms in
this field:
every single food investigation
has resulted in hundreds of thousands
OF dollars of lying advertisements to
steer us away from the truth and let
us go ahead blindfolded into disaster
The answer is so simple and so obvi-
GUS that when Une Federal food in,
v~astigation was pending, members Of
the Emergency Fleet were asked to
head it off, and when they refused
their entire work was assailed with
whitening blasts of publicity to divert
public attention from the food"
Not the least of the profiteer's
methods of hindering reform, in Miss
Laut's opinion, is the use of hand
picked committees to make investiga
lions. They delay action and at the
end of their f%loundering "come ou'
the same door wherein they went.
