WOULD EXPOSE
FAVORITISM

Representative Halvor STEVENSON.
of Minnesota, has introduced a bill in
the House Of Representatives to pre-
vent ~profteering in news print paper.
The bill would impose a tax of five
cents a pound on newsprint paper in
volved in sale or contract of sale for
delivery by any manufacturer or i'm
porter. Manufacturers and importers
of newsprint are authorized to es-
tablish uniform prices and file the
same with the federal trade commits
sion. Under the provisions of the bill
no tax would be levied on paper sold
in conformity with prices on such a
list. Evidence shows that manu-
f%acturers and importers are now sup
plying large papers with paper at
four and five cents a pound" stated
Representative Stevenson, while the
small papers must get their supply
from brokers and middlemen at from
eight to sixteen cents a pound. Cir
cumstances point to a concert of ac-
ton IN the part of the manufacturers
and importers to bleed the small pub
fishers and extort from them exces-
sive prices"

CONFINEMENT
Is RICHES

This is sure a rapid age and since
the world war it has got more rapid
than ever. We can't keep up with
all this rapidity, and don't want to.
for it burns the candle at both ends
and is as fleeing Is a fleck of dust
before the wind. Seems like most
everybody has become possessed with
a insane desire to grab great riches
and all hat riches buy and bring. We
have no such desire, and are glad of
it.
We would rather be a fox and steal
fat geese than a miserly millionaire
and pray upon the misfortunes of our
fellows. We would rather he a bug.
burrowing in the dirt of the back
yard garden, than a plotting politician
selling the people to combinations of
capital for a comparatively small
rake-off, and putting in the time God
gave us trying to initiate some incu-
bated presidential boom with the
foetid breath of hypocricy. We would
rather be a peddler of hot peanuts
or weiniewursts than a bought-up
leader" helping to give stockholders
band-grabbers and boodlers privilege
to despoil the pantries of the poor of
the bread, milk, potatoes and sugar
for hungry little children. We'd
rather be poor and do the lowliest
work in Gods great vineyard than
build of signs and tears a flimsy bub-
BILE of fame to be blown a-down the
narrow beach OF time into ~eternity's
shoreless sea. We'd rather be the
lowly lord of a lodge in the wilder
ness, dress in %sunburn and live on
yams and cabbages and hope, yet see
the love-light shine unbought in
truthful eyes, than be a marauding
emperor of pomp and power and
know not who fawned upon the mas
ter or who esteemed the man.
All these bigwigs will soon get old,
crumble into forgotten dust, and leave
their gold at the edge of the grave.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-All shoes
offered for sale would have stamped
on them the price paid by the retailer
under the provisions of a bill intro
duced in the senate by Senator C. l..
McNary, of Oregon. The bill would
also compel the marking of shoes
with the name and address of the
manufacturer. "If the customer is
offered a pair of shoes for eighteen
dollars, which he can see cost the
dealer only six dollars, it will be his
own fault if he makes himself a vic
tim of the profiteer by buying them"
said Senator McNary. The bill would
also impose drastic penalties for col
fusion between retailer and manu-
facturer or wholesaler. Senator Nc
Nary is chairman of a senate sub
committee investigating the high
prices of shoes and leather.

progress. The war has more than
doubled the number of federal en-
ployes," continued Senator King, in
discussion on the legislative appro-
priation bill that recently passed the
senate. 1T is a matter of common
knowledge that there is a determine
ton in the departments to keep as
many of them as possible. Under
some departments there are executive
agencies which are entirely inconsis-
tent with the purpose of the depart
ment. Needed reforms, recognized as
desirable, have not been made. 1t
was understood that tens of thou
sands of employees, when the war
ended, would be separated from the
public service, because there would
be no necessity of retaining them.
Months have gone by and still they
are here. The administration of the
civil service law has proven a shield
and protection to the inefficient and
defective. There is duplication of
work to be found in every depart
ment."
Proposes A~erOnautic Bureau
The establishment of a bureau of
the air, to bring the aeronautical ac-
tivities of the government under one
central direction, is proposed in a
bill introduced in the house of rep
resentatives by Congressman Julius
Kahn, chairman of the committee on
military affairs. In a statement ac-
companying the bill, Representative
Kahn said the plan was INTENDED to
hold one man responsible for the
development of aviation" Control of
the air services necessary to the
operation of the army and navy would
not be within the jurisdiction of the
new bureau. according to a provision
of the bill.
Eternal Vigilance, Etc.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge has
read in the senate a press dispatch
from Paris concerning the interallied
financial conference, which has been
called by the League of Nations to
meet in Brussels at the end of May.
In commenting upon it. he stated:
1T is admitted by both the English
and the French authorities that there
is going to be an effort to so amend
the league, if it needs amendment, to
form a combination for taking care
of the war debts by a pool. They
failed to do 1t in the treaty. They
are now going to make anotner eff
fort. We shall be Brought face to
face with it. OF course, not being
in the league, we shall not be rem
deyed liable unless we voluntarily
join in a treaty to pool all debts. 1t
is to my mind a very great danger to
the whole American people. 1t we
should be drawn into such a treaty
it would mean a burden of taxation
which it would be difficult to esti-
mate"
