A Corner in Quiriine
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: One Of the most contemplate
forms Of profteering indulged in by
certain business Bolsheviki" is the
prevailing corner In the market for
drugs and medicines, especially those
specifics that are necessary in fighting
grippe, influenza and kindred prevail
ing ailments. Quinine is one Of those
essentials III which there is an evident
corner. For instance, couple of years
ago quinine was 81 cents a hundred
two-grain pills, or capsules; to-day the
price is $1.S5 hundred. To-day five
grain capsules are 81 "a hundred,
whereas they were only 60 cents hun
dred not long ago.
The country is gravely upset as to
the causes Of Bolshevism. Would it
not be worth while for Investigators to
get busy with the profteering Bolshe-
Wiki who are doing their best, not only
to upset the government by incensing
the minds of the people by their heart
less and ruthless greed, but are actu-
ally striking at the very lives Of the
people by cornering the market in
necessary drugs? 1t does not aid mat
ters much to be told that the corner is
held in London. Do you not consider
this subject worthy of your pen?

No Bonuses
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Having read article after article
about the bonus for war veterans and
being one myself, having been in service
during the whole war and having served
eight months in France, I feel that
am entitled to discourse a little my
self, and If you will be so kind as to
publish this think you'll find that the
real he-men Of the war will agree with
me and will not go begging to the gov
ernment.
When tho Federal and state govern
ments are required or requested to pay
Americans for their patriotism, and pay
for it by the month, it seems to me
that It's about time some of these per-
sons concerned are questioned as to just
what their patriotism consists Of, and,
incidentally, inquiry might be made as
to whether or not those who are so
intent upon war bonuses were drafted
or whether they volunteered, either be-
fore or after the war was declared.
1t seems to me as though our country
were arriving At a pretty sad state of
affairs when it has to enforce draft
laws to get the required number Of
men to fight legitimate war. and then
after that they have to be paid for
having to be drafted

No winds conversing with the grass,

But nothing can assuage my fire.
However still the night and long;
Out of my heart escapes desire

The High. Cost of Virtue
From The Philodelphto Imoutrerl

(From The Philadelphia Inqutrer)
Eight millions yearly seems to be
the lowest estimate Of the expense Of
enforcing national prohibition. It Is
a large sum, but not in the circum-
stances an extravagant one. With
every ship entering an American port
tt be searched, with every seaman to
be kept under constant supervision,
with hundreds Of miles Of border tn
be guarded by mounted police, it is
plain that heavy drafts upon the
Treasury will be necessary.
The enforcement Of all laws costs
something, for there are those who
seek to break even the most reason
able. But never before has law re-
quired such extraordinary measures

Silver Lining

There is some slight consolation Of
spiritual nature In the fact that
our revered Mayor returned from
the sands Of Florida in time to par
take Of the present recurrence Of
winter. But Of practical physical
benefits from his presence there is
no promise whatsoever. His Honor
returns to city showed under for
month and relieved from complete
paralysis only by a genial sun that
has done occasional Jobs of snow re-
moval. That is the Hylan system.
Smile and let the sun do the work.
For tho New Yorker who can spend
his winter at Palm Beach this is un-
doubtedly the ideal plan. The rest
Of the city may be pardoned for ex-
pressing the wish that His Honor
might go to Palm Beach and stay
there until genuine winter resident
could take charge Of our streets and
make them fit to live on.
But there is little cheer to be had
BY taking any such look ahead. An
agreeably prophetic date for many
Americans has just been passed, to
wit, the 4th Of March. There is no
such near prospect Of securing a
winter resident to clean our streets;
January I, 1922, is the exact day Of
hope, We believe. So let us rather
fix our minds on the storm about US,
which is only the tail end Of a biz
zard, and, though ominously begun
and disagreeably continued, prom
ises to do more fright than damage.
There Is still time for the worst, as
the date Of the famous blizzard of
1888 records-it began at / o'clock
on the morning Of March IL. But
tho present unpleasantness seems
accurately described by exactly that
word. And for a final and complete
point Of hope, beyond all risk Of re-
versal, lies the fact that, blizzard or
no blizzard, Mayor or no Mayor,
spring cannot be long postponed.
There shines q solid silver lining to
all the clouds Of gloom at present
central over, our gray city Of drifts
and garbage.

Relief, but Not Bonus

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The question of bonus to OK.
service men seems to be presminently
in the minds Of Congress and the coun-
try in general. I think you will agree
with me that the bonus is desired, not
as reward for fulfilling one Of the
duties of citizenship, but as an aid to
those men financially embarrassed as
result thereof. It seems to me that
the income tax law offers a medium
through which some relief may be
granted, approximating in direct pro-
portion to the need.
Roughly, my plan Is az follows,
/. Grant total exemption to married
men earning less than $4,000 and sin
gle men earning less than $4,000.
2. Married men earning over $4,000
and single men earning over $4,000
would be granted no additional ex-
emption, but would have to pay taxes on
all income above $4,000 and $1,000, re-
spectively, as at present.
8. Married mon earning less than
$4,000 and single men earning less than
200 should be given a cash bonus of
$50 annually.
4. Cripples, ETC., to be especially pro-
vided for.
This plan could be put in vogue for .
period Of five years, or on graduated
basis Of one year for each six months
Of service.
The merits Of this plan are as fol-
lows:
1. The total cost to tho government
would be within a quarter Of z billion
dollars, spread over five-year period.
This would cause no currency imitation.
2. The exemptions and the bonuses
would be given only to the needy.
3. No examining board would be
necessary to Judge the applicants
claim. The income tax blank would be
the examining board.
4. The service man, having paid his
taxes "over there" would not be as re-
luctant in accepting tax exemption as
he would be in accepting so-called
"blood money"
AS an ex-service man and q member
Of the American Legion, am opposed
to any bonus plan which would initiate
our currency, boost the cost of living
and eventually divide the bonus among
the profteers.

Gray Hairs

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: had bank account Of ST.
400 when this war started. Now all !
have in $500 Liberty bonds. 1t cost
more thar my salary to keep up my in
cidentals, my wife at home and rail-
road fare, so as to have few short
hours with her when the ship was at
tached to struck home port, which was,
to make things inconvenient, different
port each trip If we missed any port
on the east coast, I am a fabricator.
They could at least give US home,
on long payment plan without interest,
at cost Of same.
I made sixteen trips across the ocean
at an average monthly wage Of Sal.
Out Of this pay 1 supported my wife,
clothed myself Except first allowance)
and the only thing free in the service,
so far as I and four hundred others
of the ship were concerned, was what
we ate.
We won the war, stopped them at
the Marne, and other things. But let
mo tell you, those eighteen months
were ten years to me and brought on
gray hairs ten years before their time.
Now, quite often, see in the papers
where some official gets up to offer all
the way from 5O,ooo,ooo to $500, 900 900
to Europe or Armenia, or to educate
the Turks; ard it seems to me If there
are any presents to be made there are
nearly 100000. persons that did their
best in the navy and Naval Reserve who
deserves all the surplus available; $50
for every month in the service, giving
time and labor for the small salary
would be little enough. YEOMAN.

The Hoover Boon,
Its Spontaneous Start in the
18th District

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; An article printed in The Trib-
une Of March 8 seeks to involve the
Grain Corporation with the movement
Of Republicans in the 18th Congress
sional District to name delegates to tho
national convention pledged to vote
for Herbert Hoover for President. This
claims my attention, not only because
1t mentions my name, but also because
am ono Of those who have been inter-
ested from the first in the movement
referred to.
The article states, in substance, that
influential Republicans" (whose names
are not given) have satisfied them
selves that Edwin F. Shattuck is re-
sponsible for the attempt to secure
delegates instructed for Mr.. Hoover in
the 17th District.
The fact that have not the pleas
ure Of Mr.. Shattuck's acquaintance may
emphasize the statement that he had no
part whatever in the origin of this
movement and, so far as I am aware,
has not the slightest connection with
it at present. Neither he nor any Of
his representatives has attended any
meetings at which the plans for this
campaign have been discussed.
As one Of those trying to elect dele
gates who will vote for Mr.. Hoover l
wish to say as cmphatically as possible
that this is spontaneous effort Of and
by Republicans, with which Mr.. Hoover
has not the slightest connection ex-
cept for tho fact that he happens to be
the man whom We would like to see
elected President on the Republican
ticket. AS Republican,, we reserve the
right to hold and express this prefer
ence, whether or not 1t may agree with
the views Of those whom you describe
as influential"
1t is inevitable that q man with SO
distinguished record Of public serv-
ice as Mr.. Hoover should not lack
friends. Since our announcement OF
plans the committee has received many
offers Of assistance from other admir-.
ers Of Mr.. Hoover. These are welcome
The committee wants all the help it can
get. In our judgment, it is tribute
to mans ability If those most closely
associated with him are his stanchest
supporters.
The fact remains, however, that the
origin and management of this cam
paign have come from the Republicans
Of the 18th District, men and women
who did tbis on their own initiative,
without knowing or caring what Mr..
Hoover thought about it. These Re-
publicans are seeking his election be-
cause they believe he is the best man
for the job, and in holding the opinion
submit they should not have their
motives impugned.
In view Of the fact that my first
knowledge Of this article was when
read 1t as published, and that, so far
as can learn, The Tribune made no ef-
fort to ascertain from the managers of
this campaign the details Of its origin
and operation, l must request that in
fairness you give this letter as much
prominence as the article to which it
refers. WATSON WASHBURN.,
