THE SMASHING OF
THOSE WOMEN

Here is a verbatim. accurate,
stenographic report OF a statement
made by Antonio Lucero from the
platform in Santa Fe, last Friday
night.
Mr.. LUCERO SAID:
This public opinion has for its
obje: Il, my friends, the smashing Of
those women who have displayed
such political activity on the repub-
liean side and who are trying to
make us believe that they can keep
their political skirts clean while per-
forming BY the side of political bos-
ses who are as crooked in politics
as q rams horn"
There you have it; they are going
TO SMASH" the women who have
been active on the Republican side
they have found out that hundreds
OF independent and democratic wo-
men are active on the republican
side. They are making a last min
ute effort to intimidate them and
keep them from voting their convic-
tons.
Steady. Republicans; let's go!

TO STOP PRICE FIXING

We must put an end 10 unneces-
sary price-fixing of farm products
and to ill-considered efforts arbitra-
lily to reduce farm product prices. In
times of national crisis, when there
is a known scarcity of any neces-
sary product, price control for the
purpose of making a fair distribution
of the stock on hand, may be bosn
necessary and wise. But we know
there can be no repeal of natural
laws-the eternal fundamentals. The
history OF the last three thousand
years records the folly OF such Ell
forts. If the price OF aDS fAh
poduct for example. is arbitrarily
fixed at a point which does not o
err the cost of production. the far
mer is compelled TO reduce the pro-
dnction OF that particular crop. This
-eS'rlts in a shortage which in turn
brings about higher prices than
before. and thus intensifies the dan
ger from which it was sought TO es-
scape In times past. many ma
items have tried to hold down living
costs by arbitrarily fixing prices of
farm products. All such efforts
have failed, and have usually
brought national disaster.
Government drives against food
prices such as w have experienced
