AMERICANS TO HAVE FRENCH
TOBACCO MONopLf.

Il Is We'll known that in France
the government has a monopoly OF
the MANUFACTURE and sale OF tobac-
ca traffic that furnishes one OF
the principle sources Of revenue
There is some talk now of turning
the business over to American fl
nancial interests. according to the
SOCIALIST newspaper. LHumanite,
Paris, which quotes the following
statement issued By one OF the
unions OF government workers:
Some time ago c6rtaIn Journals
of high finance spoke OF ceding the
tobacco and mateh monop0lies 10 a
syndicate Of American capitalists
as security for debts contracted by
France during the war. Now we
learn that negotiations have been
opened and the deal is in progress.

OUTLAW
ST RfkES

1t is apparent from the great out
break of so-called OUTLAW strikes
throughout America during the past
year that labor unions in general
need to do some housekeeping. Ger
tainly nothing has done so much to
discredit union labor as this appar-
emit disposition on the part of large
groups of union men to kick over
the traces, violate contracts, defy
their leaders, Inconvenience the
public and work general game of
holdup on everybody.
For years past the strongest ar
gument in favor of dealing with
union labor as opposed to the open
shop, is the claim that once a con-
tract is made with a union, labor
troubles are settled for the period

THE CHIEF
PROFlTEER.

The drive against proiiteers that
had been in progress for some time
in Britain came to a halt when 1t
vas discovered that the government
was the chief proffteer. Every
lead followed by the parliamentary
board of investigation brought it
to that conclusion. The cost of hv-
ing is high because the cost OF gov
eminent Is high. Taxation has put
prices where they are.
The drive was conducted with a
great hue and cry from the public
for the scapegoats, But in the six
months the board was at work it
found few cases OF profteering,
none OF them of any great moment,
as the fact that the total fines i'm
posed amounted to only $4,000 indi-
Gates.
"The rise in the cost OF living Is,
in the main, not due to profiteering
and it cannot be reduced by any
penal taxation Of the rich" is the
conclusion expressed by Sidney
Webb, chairman of the investigating
board, Socialist leader Economy
in government is looked upon as the
way to get out of the morass Of high
prices.
EDIT Bird SEC
Congress is considering a general
investigation along the same lines.
There is little doubt doubt that it
would come to pretty much the
same conclusion, though it might
not be so frank TO admit it as the
British parliamentary tribunal.
Warnings without number have ben
issued that stop should be made
to methods of extravagent war
time expenditures, but to little pur.
pose. The cost Of government con.
tinues upward, taxation continues
upward. the cost of living quite
naturally continues in the same
way.
Congress must put its financial
house in order and must adopt a
system by which millions of dollars
will be saved-a budget system for
efficient appropriation making. The
national government is spending
more than s5000,000,o00 year. 1t
gets that money from two main
sources; revenue from customs du-
ties amounted to $1S4,457S67.39 and
taxes to $5,145,382, $3.50.
Faxes come from individuals, cor
porations and copsrtnerships and
affect practically everything We buy
1t is all as plain as pikestaff. Yet
Congress refuses to enact burget
bill. 1t insists upon following a
plan under which nobody knows
what the government has TO spend
and where and how the money is
to be spent. 1t is a plan that would
bring private business to bankrup-
toy in no time. II is this haphazard
plan that is keeping a considerable
part of the population broke.-Buf-
