letter published in the Carson Press.
He is the eighth man who has been

letter is as follows:

WHO ARE THE PROFITEERs?

Profitteers are "sandbagging the
public" Sen. Adthur Capper, Kansas,
a spokesman for farmers in congress
declared in a speech recently.
Can we doubt that the general pub
lie is being sandbagged when we know
such facts as these. The net profits
of the American Woolen Co., after
federal taxes had been deducted, were
$2,77S,OO0 in 1914 and $12,324,6S4 in
1918.
THE earnings on its common stock
this year is expected to exceed 800
share, more than the stocks par
value. A year ago, its watered stock
was quoted at As. Today, it is close
to $50
For the wool that goes into a suit
of clothes which sells for 800, the
wool grower receives $7.37, says the
Wool Growers association.
Speculation on the cotton exchange
frequently boosts the value of the crop
$50,000,000 in a single day. Central
Leather stock quoted at 5S year ago,
is around 105 now. One leather con
cern showed profits of SO pre- cent OH
its stock.
Just now the greatest get-rch-
quick game in America is gouging in
sugar. Stock of the Cuban-American
Sugar Co. has advanced over 200 per
cent in the last year. Crucible Steel,
SO year ago, is now 209. While We
were sending boys to France, the
United States Steel corporation made

I'VE have 100000 homeless peo.
pie in the United States as result
of melon cutting in lumber. Weekly
advances of 81 to S. thousand feet
are not uncommon.
Livestock has declined so per cent,
but retail meat prices are unchanged,
Coal operators profits apparently are
known only to themselves and their
bookkeepers.
"All these quotations prove it is
profiteering in manufactures, in the
great industrial corporations, that has
sandbagged the public, rather than
profiteering by small merchants.
These gigantic corporations have
become drunk with unconscionable
profits extorted from a to compliant
public. The outstanding fact is that
there is nowhere the slightest indica'
ton af any change in the strategy Of
