as persons attain years they also acquire "A

Turkeys and Gasoline
!. ~ rditor Of Tho Evening public Ledger;

70 the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger;
alr.-Your editorial regarding turkey
,riccs is very good, and Il you will look
hsck for the reason OF the advance In price,
.ou will probably find that the poor farmer
dIdn,t get any OF the advance charge. on

However, | am wondering why some
,,wspapsr docs not indulge In some dues-
,foninss and other pertinent remarks In re.
I'D ,o the price Of gasoline. The big oil
sn,,nanies chcerfully put, this up one or two
cents n week, whenever they feel like It. Ten
o. twolve years ago II sold at eight cents,
and row II Is twenty-etsht cents, several
hundred per cent raise and there Is no al
,srption at any time That the companies
,sre in hard luck or needed the raise They
,.Id hundreds of millions Of dollars in big
SiyIdonds, besides many hundreds Of mil
Uons OF dollars in and on stock dividends, and
/ have never seen any auestion raised in any
Newspaper regarding tne.r moral OF leBal
rlsht to do this
Clasolne has become ono Of tho actual ne.
,ensIttes Of life. There Is no Eroeer or re-
tnu merchant OF any sort not using Il In
bis delivery to his customers Why can't n
{ hiS Innuential paper like yours ask them
about the aiibi which you suggest In the
turkey business? 80
A few years ago small dealer downtown
was fined heavily for charging one or two
csnts advance on turkeys at Thanksgiving
time. and tho Government officials made a
bir advertisement Of the way they were
helping the poor people, and probably the
man who was fined never made $1,000 a
year profit In his life. II no had made sew
stol hundred millions. like the oil companies
do would ne have been molosted?
Is there not an illegal appearance In the
fact that all OF the companies raise their
nrice OF gasoline and oil at virtually the
same time? II Is very easy to suggest a
private agreement from this circumstance.
This is morely a suggestion for your con
,,dcrstion r.. s. II.

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
slr--we have signally honored the ''un-
known soldier" now II IL our turn to do
all we can for the living soldier, of the
World War, who needs our assistance to get
properly back into civil life. These men are
rapidly talking their places back In the COLOR
less scheme Of our great American populace.
and with the armistice now three years old
they arc almost losing their idertity IN the
great mass OF tho ordinary. plain citizens.
We are proud that our boys" who served
in the war can come home to us. change
their uniforms for the garb OF civil life and
turr. anew to the work that always remains
to DO done-thc tasks Of every day. Now
that these citizen soldiers are back among
thair friends their war service becomes but
a memory and they arc again on a level
with their fellows. hut are they en- a level?
Not 50 long as don't the living sol.
der accorded his just and honored place
among the living, for VIC took him ont OF
the place and forced him into the army
| take II that no GX-sCrvco man waits
moro than actually belongs to him by right
OF his service. | do not believe he asks
charity or unfair advantage. but only tho
opportunity to begin where he loft OF before
tho war to make his way. Yet in tho nature
OF things thrro are some advantages that
the public can put in the way Of the veteran
soldier. IT II i9 bonus. or benefits urdcr
the war-risk insurance, 1t should be promptly
paid. There have been instarces where
bonus money has been received only after
long controversy. There should b. nothing
that anywhere nearly opportunities tho
nigCardly provision OF 50, 80 ard IS a month
which WAS accorded very tardiiY to sold RS
of tho civil War and their widows. In a
word. whatever financial assistance is to
be given to a war veteran 1t should he gi|cn
promptly, Then the war veteran should be
given an equal chance with others In every
industrial situation. lie will not ask moro
thar m even chance with tho rest, but II
his experience and his training ent!tle him
to an advantage he should have 1t. In spe-
cial cases and there will doubtless be many
Of them. certain advantages should be pur-
poscly placed in his way SO that the eX-
service man may be certain OF the means
of livelihood.
And perhaps most OF all let US givo our
veterans Of the war Of 19lT.lS the same
respect wn give to u veteran Of former strug-
giles. Let US remember that where We take
the hand Of i World War veteran VIC are
shaking hands with man who has been
under tire far us and faced death as truly
as the ,rocs Of GettSsb and other bat
ties thai we used to think were the greatest
