URGES DRASTIC STEPS IN FIGHT AGAINST HIGH LIVING COSTS
 
Arizona Governor, in Talk At Salt Lake, Suggests Seizure of Foodstuffs- Federal Sale of Surplus Foods Will Not Aid Ma terially

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 16.-"Jail the profiteer and seize his foodstuffs; then worry about convicting him, sug- gested Governor Thomas p. Campbell of Arizo,an today, addressing the Salt Lake Commercial club, preparatory to the opening of the national conference of governors next Monday.
 This was one step in a program to reduce the cost of living, suggested by the governor. The other step was to reduce the cost of wheat" which, the governor contended, would cause the prices of other commodities 10 fall Of their own weight" The governor said the sale of war department surplus foods would not materially lower living costs.
 Many States Powerless
 "The federal government is the only agency that can reduce the cost of liv- ing in the United States" Governor Campbell declared. "Action by the states in jailing the profiteer and seiz- ing his foodStuffs have powerful eff feet locally. but this effect is not far reaching enough, since the state cannot go outside it's borders Many of the states are powerless to act other than through persuasion and publicity. and these states look to the federal govern ment for aid.
 Every state executive is cognizant of the danger that will result from the continued high cost of living Unless the cost of Twin is reduced materially the spirit of unrest that is seething may get out of hand and engulf the corntry.
 I Federal Officers Should Act
 The federal government is the proper agency to reduce the cost of liv- ing and to punish the hoarder and prof iteer though action by states is all right as far as it goes. But the federal government has jurisdiction through out the nation and it's hand can extend from Washington to grab the profiteer and food hoarder.
 Sale to the people of the sI20, ,o0o. 900 surplus war department food supply held by the government in storage will not reduce the cost of living. The packages sold usually are in such uuan- titles that the average family cannot buy them. and even when they are sold in small quantities, there Is only about SIPS worth of food per capita. The people will get hungry tomorrow or the day after and more food will be needed. l should like to see the prof iteer and the hoarder jailed and his hoard sold to the people. Then worry about convicting him.

"Impossihle Is Unamerican.

Following is the main part Of The
Qratinn on the class motto deliver d
hy r. Dewet Bradbury at the cam
mencement exercises OF the Rath-
drum High School class Of 1919. The
watchword of the class Impossible
is Unamericau, has been made
subject Of comment, leading TO the
suggestion that the Grafton be pub
lished.
THAT the word impossible is
unknown In the American vocabulary
is well shown by the past history of
the United States Washington, with
his ragged, unframed contlnentals,
matched against the splendid English
troops, the best equipped army in the
world. To the whole world this was
prepoSterous. Men said everywhere
and 10 no uncertain terms that it was
impossible ;or Us to gain indepen~
dence. At this Cine not only was
Washington lighting the English but
also many of his own people who were
against him. Even the Continental
Congress supported him 10 only
half.hearted way. Some Of the
congressman even plotted to depose
Washington from his command.
'At Valley Forge the troops were
starving. without sufficient shelter or
Clothes. There was plenty Of food
and clothes 10 the country. Washing.
ton did not falter or lose faith In the
country or people; neither did he
grow bitter or vtriolic as so many
other men Of smaller caliber would
have done under similar circum-
stances. He forged steadily ahead
over all obstacles with never failing
courage to victory, and finally to the
love OF the people Of all nations.
"Again, In the Civil war when the
nation was 10 turmoil and every one
seemed against him. Lincoln held
true to his own ideals and beliefs
With public opinion against him he
did right as he saw the right. In the
dark days of '62, when the fate of the
nation hung In the balance, with the
sentiment of Europe against him and
while the Confederate armies were
still indicated, he held to policy,
which, amid great crises, was true
and unfalterinR. Again we were
brought to wonderful victory
because this savior Of our union had
steadfast faith 10 the possibility Of
accomplishing an impossible task.
Just recently down ia Panama
there was finished huge undertak-
ing, which had been given up by the
French under the leadership OF Dc
Lesseps, one OF the worlds greatest
engineers. The verdict OF Europeans
was that the task was impossible.
The difficulties were enormous; man
could live for no length of time there
on account of malaria, yellow fever
and the plague. Engineers knew that
geological conditions in the Culebra
cut were of such a nature that con-
tinual landslides wouldNndo the task
were the feat once accomplished. But
Yankee ingenuity and perseverance,,
under the splendid leadership of
Roosevelt, Goethals and GorgaS,
malaria, yellow fever and the plague
we're almost banished from the canal
zone. The great project was under
taken and today is an accomplished
fact.
ut was this same lndomitablc spirit
of the American pioneer that con
qucred this vast western country.

CRY FOR MERCY!
German Socialists In Appeal to
Entente PrOIetariat.
Proposed Peace Is Called
"WOrld Imperialism" by Them.
fBy the Associated Press.l

Berlin, May 12.-Altho the indie
pendent Socialists at the outset of the
discussion over the peace treaty
adopted the standpoint that peace
must be signed at all costs, the ire
mendous pressure of public express
sion, violent in its protest against the
treaty's terms has led them to recon-
slider their view, many of them join
ing the multitude that is protesting
against the signing.
In the name of the Independent So
cialist party, Richard Weller told the
workmen's councils of greater Ber-
lin that such a dictated peace of
cruel severity as the entente desires
to impose upon Germany could not
be lasting peace. Therefore, he
demanded the assembling of a con-
gress of the councils to determine
their attitude toward the question
and to appeal to the entente prole-
tariat to work against the peace
proposed by entente world imperial
ism as embodied in the treaty"
Attack Old Imperialists.
Herr Mueller, another of the indie
pendent leaders, seizes the occasion
again to assail the old imperialistic
regime in Germany, which he declares
incurred blood guilt by the invasion
of France and Belgium, and the de-
struction of mines and industries.
Arguing against the prevalent pro-
tests, Karl Kautsky, writing in the In
dependent organ Die Freiheit, says:
Shall We sign the peace if it is not
to be modified, or have we not any
other chance? If it were a peace OF
destruction, a death sentence as it is
called, agreement to it would be sui
eide. But hard as the conditions are
they do not lead to the downfall OF
the German people even tho they will
make life terribly difficult. A genu-
inc downfall, rapid downfall would
come, however, if we declined to sign
the peace and reverted to a state OF
war
After a few weeks of ruthless op-
position costing millions of lives we
should be forced to capitulate.'
