The Apportionment of Victory Liberty

Twenty-Five Men Will Assist County
Chairman in Campaign Which

The Hancock county Liberty loan
organization has completed the de-
tails necessary for the opening of
the drive for the sale of Victory

morning.
James w. Westfall, the chairman
of the mems committee will be as
sisted by the finance committee OF
the council of national defense. The
county quota is one-fourth less than
it was for the fourth drive and since
the fourth loan was oyer-subscribed
by a liberal margin, the committee
has every reason to believe that this
loan will be as quickly subscribed as
the former ones.

WOULD HIT PROFITEERS
BY WAY OF TAXATION
Senator Borah Is Studying Meat
Packers, Grocery Brokers'
and Sugar Combine.

Some means by which the swollen
profits of the food prof1teers may
be taken from them, through taxa
ton, must be evolved, according to
Senator Borah of Idaho, in order to
lessen the tax burden on the people,
who have already been taxed and are
being taxed heavily by the food
profiteers.
Senator Borah has in mind particu-
larly three agencies controlling food
products, which, he declares, have
made excessive profits on foodstufrs
during the war-the meat packers,
the grocery brokers and the sugar
combine. He has been investigating
their activities for more than a
month and will lay all the informa-
ton he has obtained before the Sem
ate.
Senator Borah is vigorous in his
criticism of the food administration,
as. operating under the direction of
| Herbert Hoover. He charges that
the representatives of the packers
and other controllers of foodstuffs
have been placed in control of the
administration of the food law, with
consequences disastrous to the con-
sumner and extremely profitable to the
packers and other food concerns

MICHIGAN MAY HAVE
TO VOTE ON "DRY" AGAIN

LANSING, Mich. January 20.-An err
ror in the joint resolution passed by the
Michigan legislature ratifying the fed
eral prohibition amendment which
may make it necessary for that body
to vote on the proposition again has
come to light.
AS approved by the state Legislature
the resolution provided that Congress
and the several states should have
Joint power to enforce the amendment.
The resolution passed by Congress pro-
vided that the power to enforce should
be concurrent
1t is pointed out that Joint" power
makes It necessary for both state and
federal governments to agree in the
enforcement of the amendment while
concurrent power gives the federal
government authority in event the state
declined to act.

ACCORDED PRIORITY RIGHTS.
House Holds Soldiers and Sailors
Entitled to Federal Amendments,

Soldiers and sailors. honorably dis
charged from the military service, are
to have priority rights on all openings
in the government service, If other
wise qualified. The House decided this
in writing an amendment into the an
nual appropriation bill for paying de-
partment salaries.
Representative Dyer of Missouri in
offering the amendment asserted all
departments are not reinstating for
mer employees. Representative Igoe OF
Missouri added that the government
should set an example to private EN-
ployers by giving back positions to
old employees.
In this connection, Representative
Mann of Illinois. the republican leader,
criticised the War Department and
Army officers for delaying discharge
of men needed by industry.
