PRICE, FIXING

Letters received by congressman
indicate that the price-fxing senti-
ment is especially strong in the West
and Middle West, where farmers are
complaining of the cost of supplies.
These farmers insist that inasmuch
as the government has limited their
profits by fixing the price of the
basic farm products, it should like
wise put limit on others.
Men who conduct small manufac-
turing plants are also asking that
something be done to check specula-
tion in the necessities of life. They
find it difficult to pay wages in COM
petition with the large concerns, and
they sa yit will be impossible to keep
their help unless the cost of living is
reduced.-Springfield (Illinois) State
Journal.
The supreme qualification the Non
partisans have imposed upon their
candidates this year is: One hun
dred per cent American, 100 per cent

dates who represent big interests
privately be considered 100 per cent
loyal. - Filler Idaho) Nonpartisan

WILLIAM SHORTS
EVERETT ADDRESS

Last Friday night at the Everett
Theatre, President Short of the
Washington State Federation of La
Dor delivered an earnest, interesting
and instructive address to large
subject being the visit of the labor
mission to Great Britain and France
Bro. Short told the people in one
short hour some very interesting
things which a majority of them did
not know before.
The object of the labor mission
was to ascertain the stand taken by
organized labor in the countries Wis
tied and to acquaint them with the
position of the trades unionsts on
this continent with the regard to the
war.
The American party was enthusi-
astically received, entertained with
feasts of reason and flow of soul
made to believe that their brothers
in Europe had the same purpose as
the Americans and desired a closer
cooperation in the gigantic struggle
to maintain the democracy, political
and industrial, we enjoy and fight
on until victory crowns the efforts
of the lovers of liberty.
The mission found the European
workers now ready to accept the
American determination to make no
compromise peace with the auto
cratic powers but to demand un-
conditional surrender of the enemies
of civilization.
Bro. Shorts address was replete
with anecdote and humor and to say
that it was well received by his audi
ence is putting it light.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Everett Trades Coun-
ell and President Vingen with the
chairman of the committee on ar
engagements, Bro. C. E. Goldthorpe
deserve credit for their excellent
management of the occasion.

with Jolt the Earring the industrial
machinery had sustained for decades
Industry has been poorly directed
and somewhat aimlessly. Labor has
had serious shortcomings. The ef-
fort now should be to minimize the
laxity of both sides, to unity and
harmonic.
To Build for Peace Times.
$50 far the boards efforts have
been pitched on war needs But | am
sure that growing out of this work
there will be methods found that
will work in peace times; that ma
chinery will be devised at the close
of war so that the inevitable chaos
which would follow without it, be-
cause of changing conditions and
changing needs, may be avoided al
together"
Viewing the economic situation in
a broad way, Walsh said, the strug-
gle is merely to assert majority rule.
So far the minority in industry-the
owners-have ruled with an iron
hand. This view, he believes, is pure
ly arochial-feudal, as now applied
and will vanish at the end of the
war In his opinion the war has
taught valuable lessons. Not the
least of these is that the nonpro-
ducers have learned largely how
much they have missed in being de-
prived of the pleasures of toll. The
producers have been denied the
profits of their labor. Both classes
have been victims of this. He
phrased it this way:
Both classes have suffered poign-
antly. That era threatens to be swept
aside. After the war we all will
have the proper vision of what life
really means; that spiritual concept
which teaches that life really lived
is love and labor, not the vain ac-
emulation of desires and that de-
spair which safety breeds. 1t is an
old truth in new skin. We all are
fast learning that"

POOR WAY TO PUNISH
GREEDY PROFITEERS

Congressman Baer of North Da-
kota, recently renominated for con-
gress, strongly favors government
action to curb profteering in the
necessities of life and articles in
common use. Mr.. Baer declares there
is 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 it is tax on the
consumer in disguise. The money
which the government receives is
wrung out of the public by profteer-
ing and then it is passed on to the
treasury in part The public pays
the freight. The profiteering cor
poration or concern doesn't suffer,
and reality by this system escapes
taxation and gets away with a suf-
ficient amount of loot to pile up
more net profits than it made in the
pre-war period"
Any one can see that this scheme
would give no relief to the consumer
who is struggling under the high
cost of living.
1t would be like taking money from
thief and giving it to a church. The
5hief's victim would be supporting
the church, nolens volens, and the
thief would go unpublished
A better scheme would be, if a
corporation or individual were caught
making greater profit than in 1918,
90 take it all and charge an income
tax on the capital invested with the
total profits added. Maybe that
would stop 'em.
Continuing, Mr.. Baer said:
What should be done is to hit at
orofiteering at the source. The prices
Of articles of ordinary use, of food
tuffs, clothing and so on, should be
neld down to reasonable figure.
"The method of permitting prof.
eering and then taking part of the
profits out of the profiteer, is simply
scheme, and an adroit one, to COM
pei the consumer to pay the cost of
he war. We have all heard objec-
zion to paying the cost of the war
by consumption taxes. If such OBJ
jections are sound, then we shouldn't
assent to system that imposes
taxes on the consumer by indirec-
ton.
81 voted for $40 wheat, but !
doubt if it would have done the
farmer much good. If he has 20
cents more put in one pocket and 40
cents taken out of the other by the
selfishness of the profiteers, he isn't
helped. The farmer will not profit
as much by $2.40 wheat as by 1920
wheat if the administration will go
down the line and fix fair prices on
implements, shoes, clothing and other
things that the farmers and consum-
ers generally have to buy"
Referring to the talk of imposing
an 80 per cent tax on profiteering
concerns, Mr.. Baer declared this in
adequate and that the profteers could
we'll afford to snap their fingers and
laugh at such proposal, as it
meant they would make their get

away" with tremendous gains out of
the necessities of the people.
"The big business man, the big
profiteering corporation, as shown by
the report of the federal trade COM
mission" Mr.. Baer added further, sis
making 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. 1t is like taxing sick men. }"

WHOM PACKERS HATE

The Federal Trade Commission finds
that the packers trust has made
$40, 100000 excess profits in three
years, and in the making has
robbed the people unconscionably."
Every individual in the country has
felt the pressure of these conscience
less pirates. Now, the organization
that has fought this piratical band
the hardest and fercest, in the Non
partisan League, and when the truth
is known it will be found that the
packers trust is back of the flood of
unprincipled, malicious lies which
have been put forth against the
League. And when these things
come out, the minds of the people
will be cleared of much that is now
a mystery.-Iliff (Col.) Independent

Alaska's Great Frost Depth.

The depth of permanently frozen soil
In polar and subpolar regions is a sub
ject of perennial interest, concerning
which few data are available. In nu-
merous excavations made in placer
mining in Alaska the ground is per-
manently frozen to great depths, be-
ginning IS inches or feet below the
surface.
In the Klondike, according to the
geological survey, the alluvium is fro
zen to a depth of about 200 feet. At
Fairbanks permanent ground frost has
been found at many places to depth
of more than 200 feet, and the deep
est shaft there penetrated 31S feet of
frozen alluvium. In Seward peninsula
many holes In permanently frozen al
luvium are more than IS feet deep and
one is nearly 200 feet deep.
On the other hand, some ground in
this region is not frozen, for reasons
not understood. According to DR.. A.
ii. Brooks, when the moss is stripped
from the soil the ground thaws, and
with open cut mining or cultivation
the upper level of permanent ground
frost seems gradually to descend. 1t is
therefore believed that the ground
frost is a survival of q climate colder
than the present one and is preserved
by the nonconducting mat of moss and
other vegetation.-Scientific American
