| SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-Gov-
ernor James M. Cox, after charging in
speeches here today that the "republi-
can senatorial ougarchy" protected
the most shameless profiteers in his
tory outlined five practical concrete
and definite measures" which he said
! will reduce the cost of living and eli
inmate the profiteer. They were:
| Congress should grant the president
a permanent revolving fund to pur-
chase as much Of the sugar crop as is
necessary to prevent profiteering.
4 a law limiting the period during
which goods may be kept in cold stor-
age.
i A law requiring that the price. at
/, be marked upon them.
F.! A statute requiring an goods destin-
ed for interstate commerce be marked
with the price at which they left the
hands of the producer.
A law licensing and regulating those
engaged in interstate commerce as to
prevent unconscionable profits.
Cox then charged the profteeers are
backing the republican campaign fund.
at must be more than coinci-
dence," he said, that the many prof.
Eteers who were protected by the SEN
atorial oligarchy in the presnt con-
gress are paying their snare into the
Republican campaign fund, which l
charge will not be less than $15,OO0,-
OOO.'
Cox asserted President Wilson twice
appealed to congress to adopt mea-
Isures to reduce war prices.
"Definite remedial measures were
suggested and submitted" he said,
"and as definitely rejected by a repub-
.lican congress in dastardly attempt
to keep the people in distress so re-
dictionary influences might win
presidential election in 1920. The
senatorial oligarchy which assumed
republican leadership smiled gleefully
when the great mass OF our people
was in distress. With full knowledge
of the facts, they looked calmly upon
the most shameless profiteering winch
indefensible greed could impose upon
its helpless victims
Senator Harding, Cox said, when op-
portunity was presented for leadership
in the senate, was silent.
No definite suggestions have been
made by Harding to reduce living
costs, Cox claimed
what in reality he has done Is to
prepare the way for new era OF
higher prices and profteering by an
nouncing his intention of changing
our tariff rates to those of a highly
protective system the governor
said.
Cox declared that corporations
have exacted excess profits amount
ing to $3.50 a year from each family
in the country since 1914 or total
of $1,000. He charged that war profits
of corporations were $4,000, 100000 a
wear above the pre-war average.
"The amount stolen from the
Of America in that time
by the profiteers would pay off the
greater part Of the funded debt aris-
ing from the war ITSELF" he said.
