SAYS GROWERS BEING ROBBED
Serious Charge Made in Idaho Against
U. S. Grain Corporation.

Serious Charge Made in Idaho Against
v. S. Grain Corporation.
Idaho Falls, Idaho.-Miles Cannon
of Boise, state commissioner OF agri-
culture, delivered sensational adj
dress here September 20, to the MEM
bers of the Bonneville County Farm
bureau. Mr.. Cannon charged that the
United States grain corporation had
converted the law fixing the price OF
wheat to it's own use, and that the
millers and spectators of the country
were profiteers of the worst type, and
had made millions Of dollars through
manipulation of the provisions OF the
law which fixes the price of wheat.
Mr.. Cannon said further that the
grower is locked on account of the
grade, but the locked wheat goes into
high-priced flour. The grower Is also
charged with the freight rate to the
terminal point on wheat that never
leaves the elevator, allowing the mill
er and elevator operator profit OF
from II to % encts on each bushel
that rightfully belongs to the grower,
he added.
The speaker said In conclusion that
from statistics gathered at his office.
the farm and livestock products of the
state make up two-thirds of the wealth
of the state.

Vienna-There Is grave danger of q
massacre in Budapest when the Ru-
.manians depart.
Fifteen thousand families in Buda-
pest have been directly affected by
beatings and prosecutions.
But this is only a whisper to what
is threatened in Budapest itself un-
less the entente takes steps at once to
prevent it. The Rumanians have not
begun evacuation Of the city and will
not for week. When they do, all
restraining influence gone, terror will
reign.
1t will meet serious opposition in
Budapest from the vorkmen. both
Christians and jews, who have no
sympathy with slaughter, and they
have thousands OK arms hidden. Street
lighting on large scale seems GER
tain. The return of communism is
not a remote possibility.
Minister Friedrich declared two
days ago, in the presence Of a small
group of newspaper men, after re-
quest that he be not quoted, that a
pogrom was necessary in Budapest.
HIS pointed out bloodshed was neces-
sary to wipe away the stains of com.

Friedrich said. ''When the white
troops enter we will be powerless to
hold them in check. We have held
down a pogrom which threatened early
this month because Of the fear of the
people of the Rumanians. Now the
time has come for real action"
Such are Budapest's dangers. Pres
ence of entente troops are the only
thing that can keep the situation in
hand.

Even the Wounded
Are Attacked

Even wounded prisoners of war were
attacked on their way to German intern
ment camps. Says the "Saalezeitung. !"
of Halle, a National Liberal newspaper:
"When a transport of wounded French
men arrived at the railroad station and were
brought to hospitals in street cars the
public threatened to storm the cars and to
smash the windows. Women ran after the
cars, like furies, and threatened the
wounded"
The "Hallesche Volksblatt" saws on
the same event:
Especially styIishly dressed ladies acted
like ruffans. One of them continually spat
at wounded Frenchman, another kicked
the hereditary enemies Gas the French
were called in the German textbooks). and
hurt the wounded leg of one of the prison.
ers third heroine took the cap from
one of the Frenchmen and spat at his face. y
The list of the outrages committed in
Germany against enemy aliens, prisoners
of war and civilians is practically end
