PRoFITEERING AND INCOMPETENCE.

One OF the concerns which supplies milk to
chicago made in 1913 profits exceeding fifty-o
per GENT which was more than three times the
profits Of The year before This corporation is
now urging dairy farmers to cut down milk pro-
duction at this season when it would naturally
be great, refuses TO accept more milk for dis
tribution and affects TO believe that customers
would not buy more than they do if the price
were reduced. This is sample OF what the
american people put up with; and it is such
nnregulated rapaeIty, when it comes to light,
which leads the fleeced public to doubt if it gets
fair treatment from anybody, and arms aglta-
tors with arguments for government control.
Yet that would be to jump from the frying pan
irto the fire. for while the government might
not profiteer its extravaganza and incompe-
tence would amount TO the same thing as far
az. the public is concerned
III is announced that the railways returned to
private ownership can, and expect to, improve
the efficiency Of their service by Kidding their
r1ayroIls as soon as possible Of ever one hundred
thousand superfluous employees. This shows
that government operation is no Improvement
on that Of the profiteers but merely nulcts the
public in another way. AS far az can now be
seen therefore, the best hope for the people lies
ir the regulation by law Of public utilitis pri-
vately owned.
