THE PEOPLE PAY THE FREIGHT.

Under the price fixing government
commission sugar has reached a price
that it has not touched for years. The
explanation of this price fixing, as
given by local merchant who keeps
the closest tab upon the fluctuations
of the market, is far from creditable to
the government. We are informed by
this gentleman that the ruling price
of beet sugar a short time ago was
$40 per 100 pounds The government
increased this price to $11.50 per 100
This was higher than the ruling price
of cane sugar at that time, and cane
sugar always commands a better price
than beet sugar. With the new cane
sugar crop coming in in January the
commission was to fix the price, and
also the prices that wholesalers and
retailers were to receive for handling
the same. Naturally and properly, con-
sidering the action taken in fixing
been sugar prices, the commission
placed a higher price on cane sugar,
and then allowed wholesalers so cents
sack of 100 pounds as their profit,
and a profit of $3.50 to the retailer.
The unfitnes of the members of the
price fixing commission, through ig
norance or business, is shown in the
amounts allowed the wholesaler and
retailer as fair profit, as our inform
ant states that before the government
butted in wholesalers were satisfied
with a profit of 25 cents a sack for
load lots 10 cents was considered a
fair rake off. Retailers were satisfied

of extended comment for news. When
justice is melted out swiftly and rig
orously as it should be in this country
the papers herald the fact throughout
the land, and it is rare that they have
the opportunity to convey such news
TO their readers.
This is an undoubted fault in our
character as a people. A very grave
fault indeed but believe that it is
fault of immunity and that the people
of this country will correct it in time
as they have corrected others in their
development 1t certainly must be cor
rected in order to establish respect for
law, that respect that will make 1t
possible to maintain the supremacy of
law in the face of all assaults upon
our institutions. That must be done to
preserve democracy, because democ-
racy is founded on legal processes
Justly, honestly and certainly carried
forward The stubborn truth of the
matter is, we cannot progress another
step in this country until administra-
ton of the law is above reproach-
on equitable and rigid enforcement of
! the law. Every idea Of reform is incor-
porated in law. It's efficiency is Deepen

become futile. Of course all of this is
obvious and trite, but it is exactly the
obvious and the trite that we are con-
stantly and forever disregarding. No
other country in the world has
half the law on it's statute books that
we have here in America. No other
people is so fertile in devising laws
and none is so energetic in getting
them enacted and incased between
the familiar yellow calf bindings,
where they seem to become immedi-
ately innoyuous. So, we arrive, where
every one who considers this question
is predistined to arrive. The conclu-
sion is not startling; it is not new. 1t
has been enunciated time and time
again, but it cannot be too often or
too emphatically reiterated until ii
finally bears fruit. And that conclu-
sion is that what we need is not more
| law, but more law enforcement. Not
new statutes, but strict and impartial
application of the statutes already on
the books Not more legislation but
much swifter processes of litigation
and particularly a far speedier and

The human family and that means
about all of us bipeds, is made up of
strange inconsistencies. We gather in
knots and discuss the high cost of liv-
ing with wry and solemn visages,
using language in denunciation of the
profiteer that would not sound ex-
actly nice at a revival meeting, and
yet, none of us let out a peep as to the
high cost of automobiles or the fluid
used to run the same. We risk our
money in a game of chance, generally
losing it, and sure to lose it if fortune
is too long tempted and never cheap,
and yet we "holler" our heads off be-
cause we believe our grocer or dry
goods merchant is boosting the price
of some article that enters into daily
consumption. We will pay an uncon-
sciousable price for bottle of booze
manufactured from some poisonous
ingredients, the only virtue of which is
that is possesses a knock out kick,
and then want to cruelty some one be-
cause we think he is overcharging for
an article of necessity Queer birds,
we are, when the disposition of men
is fairly sized up. We take ourselves
seriously and when analysed the ma
ioriy of us are huge jokes.

with a profit of rs cents to $1.00 per
sack.
But this is in keeping with every
thing the government attemps to
regulate, or what could be expected |
from government ownership. We have |
seen the result of government man
agement in the case of the railroads.
This country never had such an un-
satisfactory transportation service as
has been the rule since the govern
ment took over the roads. The roads
have run down, the number of en-
ployees has been increased by many
thousands, the accommodations are
rotten and the operators seem to run
the roads upon the principal Of the
public be damned. Under the proposed
Plumb plan, which is poor excuse
for government ownership, the same
conditions would prevail and the help
less public would pay the freight as it
has for many months. For with all
the sophistry of supporters Of gov
eminent ownership and the Plum plan
denying the fact the railroads have
run behind to the extent of hundreds
of millions, and the government is
piling debt upon debt to meet this
constant drain.
Even the much Wanted postal SER
| vice is a source of constant expense
to the government above the receipts
| of the department, although an effort
was made by the administration some
months ago to make the public believe
that there was an unusual surplus in
the postal receipts Why, an appropria-
ton bill is now pending in congress
where the post office department is
asking for over 100000 900 to meet
the expenses of the department up to
the end of the fiscal year of 1921, one
of the heaviest appropriations ever
asked for. Furthermore, no one has
noticed that the service has improved.
On the contrary it is. very much run
down at the heel. reinstatement is not
made an account of any objections to
the postal service. 1t is recognized as
being one Of the most important
branches of the government. Consid
ering the vast work performed it is
lmarvelously proficient. but it is ex
actly like any other business carried
on under government control. Those
in authority care nothing for economy.
The public treasury meets all defici-
encies, so what's the use Of attempting
to stop the leaks at either spiggot or
bunghole In theory, government own
ership is very attractive; in practice
it has been shockingly disappointing
