MILLS SPEAKS
TO RECORD CROWD
National Lecturer For Non
partisan League Packs X.
of p. Hall

When Walter Thomas Mills, social
list orator, lecturer and author, arose
to speak at the K. of p. hall Monday
evening he faced the largest crowd
that has ever assembled for polite
al meeting in Kennewick. Every seat
in the house was taken and before the
evening was over many were standing
at the rear of the room and in the
corridor. For the most part the
audience was made up Of farmers and
their wives who came not only from
the nearby rural precincts but from
Richland, Hanford, White Bluffs, Fin
ley and Hover and there was present
also fair sprinkling Of business and
professional men.
The veteran speaker, who is now
employed as national lecturer for the
nonpartisan league and came here
under the auspices Of the local league
organization was given close attention
throughout his address.
Mr.. Mills speech was a scatching in
dictment of "Big Business. and
an uncompromising attack upon what
he declared to be the social, economic
and political evils of the present day
system. He held up 1.-the beef
trust as the chief offender
against the welfare of the pro-
ducing class. He argued that this and
other great monopolies were today SO
firmly entrenched in our economic
and political life that attempts at gov
ernmental control and regulation Were
inadequate to stay its encroachments
upon the Inherent rights of a free
people and advocated government
ownership and operation as the only
solution of the problem.
The great monopolies he said con-
troll not only the prices of what the
producer has to sell but as well the
prices of the things he has to buy.
With one hand they push the prices
Of the one down and with the other
hand the prices of the other up.
The beef trust he said had
gone far beyond the confines of the
packing business until today even
the fruit growing industry is at its
mercy. He said that last year the
tools of the trust boosted the prices
of apples at the opening of the season
and then deliberately broke the market
for the purpose of forcing the fruit
into the trust-owned canneries.
The speaker took the old political
parties to task declaring that both
have long and repeatedly ignored the
real national problems and delivered
the great mass of the people into the
hands of thu monopolies. The nom
partisan league he said has come for
