H+is-bad enough to pay taxes on top
of high prices without having the figures boost
ed still further to yield greater profit with
the tax as an excuse. 1t is reassuring to know
that the. federal government is taking strict
precautions to prevent this sort of extortion-
Instances are cited in which the prosecutions
have been begun for misrepresenting the
amount of the tax for the purpose Of collecting
more from the public than is paid to the treas
ury department. The penalty is fine of not
more than 81 900 and Imprisonment of not more
than a year

THE ATTORNEY GENERALS
OPINION,

Price sterilization. through the
plan of which the industrial board
was the central agency. the .attor-
ney general believes would run
afoul OF our-trust laws. Such was
the gist of the opinion which he
made public just before the board
went out of existence.
This conclusion no reached after
constituting the plan to mean q fix
ing of prices In basic industries by
agreement, instead of through cons
petition, on the assumption that
adjustment of prices to peace
basis can be better accomplished
by agreements than from tho OPP
Grafton OF the natural lawA OF
trade. Beginning with this inter
probation the attorney generals
logic runs as follows; Tho COM
petitive system of industry has
been ordained for the United
States by the legislative depart
ment. Price fixing agreements
have been the most common means
for violation of this system, A
good intention and a good effect do
not relieve such agreements fram
conflict with the system. The in
dustPial board was not vested by
congress with authority, such as
was given in the food control act
under which prices could properly
be fixed, and consequently inter
vention by the board did not make
legal a situation which. as among
private persons, would have been
illegal, IN view Of some thirty
statutes requiring that the govern
maat normally obtain materials
through competitive bidding, the
board not only could net deal with
prices which the public would pay.
but could net reach agreements for

AS he spaded and he hoed.
"Spring-your granny"-peeved the weather

And turning as he swore
He touched handy button there
And hell broke loose once more.
Where is now, alas, the poet?
SMASHED in rags and grease galore,
Where is now the little garden
Where the rustic hoed OF yore?

ARMY SELLS A LOT
OF FOOD TO HUNS

(By Associated PreSS)
Coblenz, July 17-Civilians in the
American occupied area of Germany
have been buying nearly million
marks worth of food daily during
the last few weeks from the United
States army supplies. The amount
sold thus far totals 100000 marks.
Germans in Treves and Coblenz have
organized a non-profit association
which deals with the Inter-Allied
Military Commission on Food, the
supplies being distributed to the con-
sumers through the retailers who are
allowed limited profit on all sales.
Such staples as bacon, rice and
canned milk were at first sold to the
Germans by the commission of ex-
perts' reports that the poorer class
es, especially the women and children
were in need of certain foods. Later;
when thousands of American soldiers
were homeward bound, the commits
sion decided to open certain stores Of
the army to the Germans, owing to
the fact that there was more food on
hand than the army had use for.
Much of the food is brought to the
occupied area from the army depots
in France, the Germans buying at a
small profit to the American army,
plus the transportation charges from
the United States. To date food
valued at more than forty million
marks has been sold to the civilians
of the American occupied zone, all
from army stores. =

Swine Production Increases

A summary of cooperative
work done by the State and Fed
eral Governments in treatment
of hog cholera in Kentucky shows
that a total of 6O,283 hogs were
treated, of which $500 belong to
infected herds. The report shows
1855 per cent of recoveries, COM
pared to 90 per cent of losses
where herds were not treated.
The last calendar year showed an
increase of II per cent in pro-
duction of swine, of which 7 per
cent is attributed to this work

The report shows that the
agents treated 667 cholera-in-
fected herds and $50 indirectly
!exposed.
