"A INVOLVEMENT las. night that Binghamson
N. Y. dealer had been fined $500 for selling sugar
at IS pound and that boarded food had been seized
in C/anooga. Tenn. and Jacksonville Fla, indicates
that the real fight against the high cost of living general
and profteering in particular has begun in earnest
A little of this will go a long way toward putting
put pithy when he declared yesterday that few GOOD
cases of conviction for proeerns in each state will settle
that trouble
To that end the public and the local authorities ought
to give hearty support to the movement Marion county
people who cases of pro6ecrns should report
them promptly to United States Attorney Stuart Walker
and the police generally should take the trouble to find
out if the retail dealers are living up TO all the laws which
have been passed for the protection of the consumer
AT time like the present every regulation that has been
thrown about The distribution and sale of staple commod
