Hogs and Hogs

We hope that at a meeting in this city on De-
cember 8, of the authorities whose business it to
look into the offense of profteerng, action will
be taken against the rent hogs of Phoenix by invol
ing the operation of the wartime anti -profteering
law After the war was that part of the law
ating to landlords allowed fall allegiance
so that when the crusade against profiteers was re-
sumed a few months ago. it was found or believed
that the law could not be against the rent hogs
But the attorney general Of the United States be-
Aeves that that provision may be resusctated
We wish to interject here though that unless
local authorities intend make better use of
that provision than they have done of the laws at
their disposal against profteerng there will be little
use in fooling with it or in holding meetings and
conference
So far the authorities have been content with
informing profiteers that they have been caught
it. and must stop. They have shaken a monitory
and sometimes even minatory finger at the
offenders and have threatened to slap them on
the wrist.
Now, no kind of hog, four-footed two-egged
is a of lively fine sensibilities. He har-
bors shame at being caught roofing up garden or
overchargng his tenants and patrons The only
thing that worries him is the probability of being
punished. But nothing has happened to the profteer
in Phoenix to fill him with fear of the consequences
1houSH indHy cases OF prO11teerng have been eStab
lished, there has been prosecution so far as we
know, not a warrant has been issued; there has
been nothing but talk, talk, talk
The rent hogs doing more harm to Phoenix
than all other kinds of hogs combined. They are
charging the most outrageous prices for houses All
of houses to let not rent hogs but there
enough of the latter to have given the city
black eye
Rent hoggishness is deserving of psychological
study. 1t is largely epidemic. There are some
rent hogs who natural hogs, just as there are
persons in whom contagious diseases are original.
Proximity to rent hogs and a daily observance of
their activities well meaning citizens to
the disease and they fall victims
A man who has led comparatively blameless
life sees neighbor renting for SIS or 500 a month
house that he glad to get s25 or $50 for a
couple of years ago. The citizen is infected and
begins pushing the rent of his own rental prop
erty without such lashings of conscience as had
hitherto kept him from being hog.
The rent hog all other hogs must be handled
by force No hog is susceptible to reason persuasion
or appeal We hope the authorities will take note
OF this elementary fact of natural history and not
make the community whose lips are sore and
merely threatening the hogs.

more, it may be revived in precisely the same form
by the administration for consideration at the next
session in the next congress. We hardly think,
though, that the administration will take hopeless
a step. That would probably make our participation
in any League of Nations impossible. and the great
work of the president the greatest effort of his life
would be brought to nothing.
We may expect rather compromise with the
opposition in the senate for the president can
longer hope for favorable response to an appeal
to the country upon which until recently he relied
with supreme confidence.
Many things may happen before the end of the
short session and among them, we fervently hope
will be agreement which will enable us to take

SUGGESTIONS ARE IN

In the matter Of connecting deviltry,
we admit we are something of an ar
list. Times have been, however. when
we have been forced to acknowledge
our inability to conjure Wickedness
sufflcient unto given provocation.
List, then, to the matter at hand.

a day last week eff you will push your
remaining copy for the Camegs Back

it downstairs to the printer when /

And SO we did.
But when our faithful camel bumped
forth on the morrow, the additional
copy we had showed under the lid OF
the desk as per instructions, was MISS
ing from the critters cargo. The me-
chanical dept. protesting its innocence,
we sought out the editor in-chief for
explanation
Wei, I'll tell you; I guess it's my
fault" he confessed. you see, l
cleaned out my desk last night, and
forgetting all about your copy l must
have brushed it off on the floor along
with the rest of the junk"
Friends, what he showed on the floor
included gems of literary effort repre-
senting hours of sweat and toll Al
lost to the world now by a careless
brush of the hand and "cut off even il
the blossom of its sin"
Here, then, is an overt act callins
for suitable redress. But, as we hav,
said above, times are when it seem:
that all the deviltry we can think O.

PERSONETTE
BY NIKSAH
Mary Graham Bonner

Mary Graham Bonner wishes the
world to know that the date of her
birth is a year earlier in Who's Who
than it was in real life, due to the fact
that she told them the wrong one when
they asked her, having, as she says,
not even a dim memory of the event.
Considering her girlishness, and the
fact that her ambition to be a writer
had to fight its way through the ex-
IRENE conventionality of a conserva-
tive set, which deemed that it was for
her to walk meekly in the ways of a
typical debutante, it is surprising in
deed that she is in Who's Who at all.
She is the author of literally thou
sands of childrens stories which are
widely syndicated through the coun-
try, and have also been put into four
books with more to follow. Most any
one would think that this was quite
enough for an ambitious young liter
airy person to do. but not so Mary Bon
ner. One of her readers who met her
| a short time ago could hardly believe
that she was the author.
But l see your name in so many
different places," he said. "I see it
on the covers of weekly reviews. l see
| it over learned articles in business
magazines, and on childrens books and
signed to feature stories land even on
bill boards"

Mary Bonner. I've noticed myself
that it docs turn up bit often here

And the star will "arrive."
Nothing can stop it, because it is
the path blazed for it by God.
But God is far more concerned about
the path you take than He is about
that travelled by the stars.
There is no soul, anywhere, but
what is more precious in Gods sight
than the whole wide world.
And there's path for you--God's
path for you.
And you may find it, even in the
complexities of life.
Paths may cross each other-this is
all a part of Gods plan for His chill
dren-but there's separate path fol
you.
It's hard to understand sometimes
but there's no need to be anxious
about it.
