would also recommend that 1t be
terstate commerce should in every case
where their form or package makes 1t
possible be plainly marked with the
price at which they left the hands OF
the producer. Such requirement
would bear close analogy to certain
provisions of the pure food act, by which
1t is required that certain detailed in
formation be given on the labels of
packages of foods and drugs.
And 1t does not seem to me that we
could confine ourselves to detailed
measures OF this kind If 1t is indeed
our purpose to assume national control
of the processes of distribution.
take it for granted that that is our
purpose and our duty. Nothing less
will suffice. We need not hesitate to
handle a national question in ma
tional way. We should go beyond the
measures l have suggested. We should
formulate n law requiring a federal
license of all corporations engaged In
interstate commerce and embodying In
the license. or in the conditions under
which 1t Is to be issued. specific regu-
lations designed to secure competitive
selling and prevent uncomfortable
profits in the method of marketing.
Law Would Do Much.
Such a law would afford a welcome op-
portunity to effect other much h-needed re-
forms In the business of interstate ship
ment and In the methods of corporations
which are engaged in 1t; but for the mo-
ment confine my recommendations to the
object Immediately in hand. which is to
lower the cost of living.
May not add that there is a bill now
pending before the congress which, II
passed, would do much to stop speculation
and to prevent the fraudulent methods of
promotion by which our people are an
nually neeced of many millions of hard
canned money. l refer to the measure
proposed by the capital issues committee
for the control of security issues. 1t is a
measure formulated by men who know
the actual conditions OF business. and its
adoption would serve great and bene-
ficent purpose.

the present foodstun control act should
be extended both as to the period OF time
during which 1t shall remain in operation
and as to the commodities to which 1t
shall apply.
Its provision against boarding should be
made to apply not only TO food but also
to feed stuffs, to fuel. to clothing, and to
many other commodities which are in
disputably necessaries of life. As It
stands now II is limited in operation to
the period of the war and becomes in
operative upon the formal proclamation
OF peace. But ! should judge that It was
clearly within the constitutional power OF
the congress to make similar permanent
provisions and regulations with regard to
all goods destined for interstate COM
merce and to exclude them from inter-
state shipment If the requirements of the
law are not complied with.
Some such regulation is imperatively
necessary.
The abuses that have grown up In
the manipulation of prices by the with
holding of foodstuffs and other necessaries
of life cannot otherwise be effectively pre-
vented. There can be no doubt of either
thhe necessity or the legitimacy of such
measures. May l not call attention to
the fact, also. that although the present
act prohibits profiteerinE. the prohibition
is accompanied by no penalty. 1t is clear

choir. The lesson was taken from the
Gospel of st. John, 14th chapter. The
text lies in the first verse: Let not
your heart be troubled, We believe in
God, believe also in me. These were
the words spoken by Jesus to his dis
ciples just before he left this earth,
for he knew the thoughts in their
minds. The disciples were worried
over the situation. that their Master
was soon to leave them; but he as
sured them that through the Father
they would receive another Comforter
that would abide with them forever.
The speaker said: Many times during
our lives things that are near ard dear
are taken from us. but we must be
content with this Comforter When
our hearts are troubled with cares and
responsibilities, there is the consoling
thought that we can rest and abide in
the spirit Of God. When we have the
joys of God we are willing to suffer for
Him.

after which the clerk read the warn
ing which contained five separate
clauses, the first three of said clauses

First: the changing of the present
site OF the schoolhouse to that site

oiution as the Lockeman lot;
Second: the purchase of said lot.
