/ that the county council had no fund
from which u meet the expenses in
Cured, and that the Red Cross now
has sufficient money on hand to meet
| all present needs. 1t was--with the
| approval of Red Cross officers that the
fund was diverted to the use of the
| county council.
The success CT the celebration from
financial standpoint was greater
than had been anticipated, The con-
mittee estimated the cost of the cele-
bration at $500. and the total expenses
were, SILT less than the estimate.
II is felt that for the money ex-
pended the community had the big

the same time the county council viii

when it is considered that the celebra-
ton was free except for an admission

In addition to the money from the
celebration the local council of defense
has received from central division

to my office are borne out by the evil
dence, there isn't a doubt but that the
pra ctice of II number of merchants in
Topeka, as we'll as in other cities has
been a direct violation of the anti
trust laws" said Brewster. 1T isn't
sufficient to say that this action is
unpatriotic. 1t is the most wanton,
cold blooded and vicious profiteering
possible. 1t hits every family and is
nothing less than a wilful and illegal
attempt on the part of certain mer-
chants to collect abnormal profits on
flour substitutes when their profits on
wheat flour are to some extent curbed
or restricted to a more reasonable ex-
tent"
Reports from various sections of To-
peka, as well as from over the state,
have indicated that the new avenue
of proffteering is not followed by the
individual merchant. but is encour-
aged thru an organized agreement 1t
is this action which Brewster will in
vestigate. If the evidence shows mer-
chants have entered into agreements
to collect ABNORMAL profits on a COM
