This Woman Started Something

The Virginia woman who pinned a note to a potato she had
raised, reading; ~ got "a cents a bushel. What did you give"
started something, because the man who noticed the potato paid
$1.20 a bushel, and the facts leaked out. Trust a woman to
find an ingenious way to bring oppression to public notice. Also
happily, trust the American man to change conditions when they
aSsail the welfare of our womanhood
One Of these days we viii bring into being a real commission
of inquiry, one with vision, one with practical business sense,
one with sound economic knowledge and finally one without self
interest and free from pull. An impossible combinahoni No,
some day it will be found, and then a happier condition will
arise as rapidly as the blood-suckers who live on the labor Of
their fellows fall by the wayside. Middlemen are necessary, Of
course, due to the great complexities of our modern civilization,
SO far from the producer that they have nothing in common.
Every day the strain is getting harder and harder to bear,
and it will get worse before it gets better. Nature brings about
mans advance by the lash. There seems to be no other way.
One day, however, we will implant in the minds of our high
school boys and girls a love for e~conomics-perhaps under 4
more attractive name-the Science of Human Freedom, for ex-
ample. Then will arrive a generation that will not be fooled by
the exploiters of mankind.

into FILM DOPE TRADE
Hollywood Situation So Serious
Federal Chiefs Hurry From
Washington.

WashingtOn.-A sweeping investiga-
ton into the traffic in narcotic drugs
which is known to be carried on eX-
tensively in Los Angeles has been
started by the Federal Government.
incidentally, the results of this inves-
tigation may have an important bear
ing upon the death Of William Des-
mond Taylor, moving picture direc-
tor, and may involve the names of a
number of persons who are prominent
in the film colony of Hollywood, both
as actors and actresses and directors.
1t was announced at prohibition
headquarters that the situation had
become SO irritating in its open con-
tempt for the law that Col. L. G. Mutt,
in charge Of the narcotic division of
the prohibition unit, left the city hur-
Tiedly for Los Angeles.
He will be joined there by Major
Royal A. Haines, United States Pro
hibition Commissioner, who is now
making a tour Of inspection through
the West and Northwest. The two
Federal officials will confer with other
Government officers and those who
are supposed to have knowledge Of
the widespread dealings in drugs in
Los Angeles.
Ever since the mysterious murder
Of Taylor, nearly a year ago, the au-
thOrities of California have been en-
deavoring to obtain some clue clear
ing up the circumstances leading to
the untimely death OF the film direc-
tor. Charges have been made that
the dope ring operating throughout
the State was responsible for his
murder Nevertheless, the many in
vestigations that have been conducted
INTO the Taylor case have come to
naught.
