There is much that is gruesome
in profteering. Adding a cent a
quart to the price of milk, oc-
casionally, fills many small white
collins and booms the casket in
dustry as well as the Milk Trust
profit.
But of all gruesome business de-
tails read of the gruesomest,
which shows how the high cost of
living affects everything, even
death.
They have doubled the wages of
the public killer in New York
State. He was getting fifty dol
lars for every murderer that he Of
ficially killed. Once the State
paid two hundred and fifty dollars
for an electric killing, when it was
a novelty, and science asked
high price for degradation. But
some one decided that testing an
electric machine and throwing a
switch after the miserable crea-
ture had been strapped down was
hard work.
In one morning the State execu-
tioneer made fifteen hundred dol
lars killing six men that had robbed
and killed Mrs. Mary Hall. A
careful State cut the price to fifty
dollars per electrocution. And
there was no trouble finding a
man for the job. Offer the price
and you will get your work done.
Now the price has been raised from
fifty to one hundred dollars, the
executioner having protested that
he should share in the general
prosperity.

THE SUGAR SHORTAGE

NV NV --s Ifss ~ sq N
!. Washington, D. C. Nov. 81
With continued Federal control
|of Sugar and a more stringent
ALLEGATION Of sugar supplies in
sight in the recent testimony of
Herbert Hoover, former food ad-
ministrator, before the Johnson
Subcommittee Investigating war
expenditures threw an interest
ing side-light on the 'administra-
tons policy with regard to|
sugar both during and since the
war. During the war it was abb
solutely necessary to control the
sugar supply and since that time
President Wilson has been adj
|vised by followers of two differ
ent schools Of economic action.
The administration has followed
the advice that recommended
control and consequently, assured
low prices. Recommendation has
now been made for further con-
trol and ALLEGATION by the chair
man of the United States Sugar
Equalization Board.
Of the two theories advanced
one class of advisors recommend
ed to the President that the ban
of Federal control and interna-
tional agreement be lifted and in
Its place unrestrained competi-
ltion for the Cuban and other inn
portant crops be allowed. This
would mean that the highest bid
der among the nations would get
the available crops, but the con-
sumner would have to pay the
price Of this competition. There
was no prediction as to how high
sugar might go under this plan.
The other plan was to continue
Federal control and international
buying and ALLEGATION, permitting
purchase at a reasonable price,
and thus keeping sugar, even dur
ing war and shortage period, as
low as ten and eleven cents
pound. This was the course
pursued by the government.
Congressman Bland, junior
Republican member of the COM
mittee, had Mr.. Hoover called
before the committee to inquire
whether or not the sugar given
away for relief abroad and sold
to foreign governments through
the A. E. F. and the army sales
agency in France was not re-
Isponsible for the present sugar
shortage. Mr.. Hoover fastened
to disabuse the minds of the COM
mittee on this point, declaring
that the cause of the present
shortage was an increased con-
sumption of sugar on the part of
the American people. This in
crease, beginning in the spring
of this year, and apparently ag-
gravated by prohibition, accord
ling to the witness, has risen from
IA normal of 70 pounds per year
per person to SO pounds per per-
son. The highest known con-
sumption heretofore, Mr.. Hoover
stated, has been "a pounds pei
person.
Getting down to specific ques.
tions Mr.. Hoover assured the
committee that there was con
sumed every day in the Unitec
States little over six millior
pounds of sugar for the manu-.
facture of candy alone. This he
said was the approximate amount
of sugar given by the United
States relief commission to the
striker countries abroad. Srcrk X.
ing of the sugar given to Russian
prisoners he declared that thi.
country had given away only
6ne-twentieth of one days candy
making supply to the Russians.

Truman H. Newberry Indicted for
Election Frauds by Federal
Grand Jury.

Truman II. Newberry, senator
from Michigan, was indicted by a
United States grand jury at Grand
Rapids, Mich, last Saturday, for
corruption, fraud and conspiracy in
connection with the election by
which he obtained his seat in the
senate, defeating Henry Ford, his
Democratic opponent.
With Newberry 1873 other persons
were indicted by the grand jury on
the same charge.
Government officials asserted that
the testimony presented to the grand
jury had revealed a political scandal
that in many respects was without
parallel in American annals. They
said it extended from the most pop
ulous wards of Detroit to the Indian
reservations on the shores of, Lake
