DRIVE ON PRICES
WILL CONTINUE

Department Of Justice Carries on.
Statement by Scott. Regardless OF
Dissolution Monday Of Fair Price
Organizations of Government De.
partment.
Washington, Oct. 30.-The depart
ment Of justice will continue it's drive
on profiteers wherever and when
ever found" regardless Of the dissolu-
ton Monday Of the fair price organi-
cations, according to a statement is
sued tonight by Robert II. Scott. as
sistant to the attorney general who
formally announced the disbanding of
the fair price committee. In view
of the organization work, Mr.. Scott
claimed credit for the department in
forcing down prices of many commod-
tiles.
The campaign against exorbitant
prices has been OF Substantial bene-
fit' to the average citizen, Mr.. Scott
said. lie added that more than 1000
cases had been instituted by the de-
partment and that scores of these had
resulted in fines or prison sentences
under the profiteering provisions Of
the Lever law. The cases remaining
on court dockets will be pressed, he
said and new proceedings started
"here evidence Of the laws viola
ton is found.
The objective Of the department I"
Mr.. Scott said. "has been first to
eliminate the profiteer. And, second
to make his field less attractive by
educating the buying public to the
WISDOM OF sane and sensible buying"
'Gliilculty has been experienced by
the department, according to Mr..
scott because of the judicial doubt"
existing as to the constitutionality of
the Lever law. Unfavorable decisions
were said to have given profiteers q
new grip in some communities but
Mr.. Scott believed the legal attacks
tartcd by the government had served
measurably to discourage tho wave
Of profiteering"
MI. Scott said the government ac-
tiVities against price gougers chad
accelerated and aided rather than re-
tarded" renewal of the effectiveness
or the law of supply and demand.
Another important factor" bo
said, has been the action of fair
price representatives in inducing pa
triotic merchants to effect reductions
IN prices. Perhaps the most striking.
Illustration of this was the success of
the representatives in PENNSYLVANIA
in convincing one Of tho largest Phila- :
delDhia merchants of the wisdom Of
making a voluntary reduction OF all
commodities handled by him. This re-
dcction of 20 per cent. resulted in a
general wave Of price slashing
throughout the country from which
the consumer substantially benefited.

some one suggested there had been very fatal

not eXaggerate in the least as to the quality OF
his fare but even the best beef and fT1loleS IN
Texas will become triie monotonous If they
are served up three times a day for weeks
without anything else.

boys tale, the wonder of an hour" Ancient
Egypt had wonderful government once, but
the wreckers were given free rein, and almost
in the twinkng of an eye they wiped from
the earth that weird and wizard civilization
of the Nile that made Egypt the garden spot
of the world | say there's reason why these
wreckers have not succeeded in putting out
the fires lighted upon the alters of liberty In
our congenia cline by our forefathers. They
were mean enough to do the work, and gladly
would they have placed the chains Of slavery
on our necks and ankles-but happily every
time these wreckers have appeared they have
been met on the stump and in the printing Of
fices by an army ms brave as lions and as UNI
flinching as the martyrs of old. When danger
Is scented ms IL Is every two years, these in
trepid defenders Of political righteousness go
forth "as terrible as an army with banners
and sweep the hordes of Mammon out of the
country. And so our country has been saved
every two years, from its earliest existence
until now, and so it will be saved while the
cycles of time roll on and on. Even now, as
| pencil these lines, the destroyers are busy.
They are going up and down the highways
of our beloved TeXas-they are pelting our
pure ozone with the rankest sophistry In their
efforts to destroy our country, but, pitted
against these apostles of Mammon are the brave
defenders of political righteousness, who will
face and fight the enemy until their Threats
are calloused and their tongues are covered
with corns. And | say unto you, fear not;
be Of good cheer; our country will be saved; 1t
always has, and it always will" It is easy
enough for YOU TO recognize these contendlng
forces. The fellows who are trying 70 stab
liberty and destroy the government are the
fellows who are against you; the defenders OF
good government and political Righteousness
are the fellows who are with you.
It is we'll to keep in mind the fact that in
this great war between those who would de-
stroy and those who would save the country
frequent changes are made. The doctrine of
final perseverance does not hold good in poll
tics no matter how firmly il may be intrenched
in religion. In the game of politics. as in the
game of weevy wheat, or dancing, we must
have frequent change of partners. In politics

destroyer of the country this year and savior
Of the country two years from now. Some
who two four or six years ago, were the mean
est and most determined foes of liberty and
good government are today fighting valiantly
for political righteousness, while some who
stood by my side in days gone by and fought
