a thousand cases of eggs to stabilize
the poultry industry
On the one hand. congress still
wrangles over a few misery millions
to supply bread to hungry citizens.
On the other hand, congress cheer
fully hands the farm board hun
dred million dollars with which to
buy wheat and hoard it in elevators
to stabilize the grain industry"
The nation is being stabilized to
death. 1t is ill of rancid economic
theories, and the shadow of its pol
itics lies a black curse across the
land ..f
To smash eggs when thousands are
hungry is Patriotism. To give them
TO the poor is Paternalism. To hoard
grain and let it rot in elevators is
sterilization. To give it to the starv-
ing is socialism and the dole. To let
machines rust because their product
no longer pays corporation profits is
constructive and business" To oper-
ate them for the benefit of the worker
is destructive and communism. Thus
the world is spiked to the cross of its
prejudice.
Destructive! You can see the members
of the California Rotary club denounc-
ing the reds" for advocating public
ownership, invading the sacred rights
of private property and taxing away
the profits of vested wealth. This is
destructive, they cry, and then leave
their knives and forks to go out and
destroy a thousand cases of eggs or
'curtail their factory output to screw
up the market price of their product
Considering the vast potential pro-
ductivity of our industrial system to-
day, no age has ever seen a more de-
structive political economy than ours
All limitation or boarding of goods
for the profit of few when large
masses are in poverty is destructive.
All ''stabilization' is destructive when
it withholdS from anyone the bread
of his existence. 1t StabiliZes moth
ing but universal want, and that re-
mains very stable, indeed. The specu-
lator who boards grain is no more
constructive than the syndicalist who
burns a farmers haystack In each
instance some one goes hungry and is
destroyed. And in our enlightened
day there are a thousand spectators
to each syndicalist.
If it is economically justified to de-
stroy thousand cases of eggs in Or
der to raise the price, then it is eco
nomically justified to destroy a thou
sand carloads of radios or automo-
biles, lumber. butter. cheese, cotton
bales. or bags of coffee.
If such destruction and curtail-
ment and price initiation is economic
ally sound, then the highest form of
destruction, or war, is economically
sound and desirable. Exactly. And
that is the logical end and aim of our
constructive American economy-a
war, universal humiliation of goods
and people, the false prosperity that
attends the shambles. and the long,
lean years that follow and that teach
us nothing.
Let us, in the name of our construc-
tive idealism, have another war, and
live for yet another sweet season in
that idiots paradise.
And in the meantime, smash eggs

ABRIDGED NEWS
CLIPPINGS FROM
OTHER PAPERS

Pine City-An early morning fire of
unknown origin destroyed the barn
and car belonging to Frank Burda in
the southern part of Pine City Tues
day morning of last week. Since no
trace of bones from chickens which
were kept in the barn could be found
it is presumed that thieves had visited
the place and in taking the chickens
dropped a match or cigarette causing
the blaze.
Pine City-Izaak Walton activities
are revived and a drive for more
members is in evidence since a meet
ing which took place here Tuesday
evening of last week. Many questions
pertinent to out-of-door sports and
wild life were discussed.
ESkOs COrner-The Spotlight, an
eight-page monthly paper, will soon
be published by the English depart
ment Of the Lincoln high school in
this village and will contain commune
ity as well as school news.
SandSt0ne-John Stahlman of NAH
iowa, who was arrested recently at
this place while attempting to sell
liquor, was fined SIS and sentenced
to 80 days in jail with an additional
35 days in Jail if the fine is not paid.
He was taken at once to Saltwater to
serve his sentence.
Hinckley-The newly organized
Juvenile band held its first rehearsal
Tuesday evening. A great amount of
enthusiasm is being manifested and

NEW YORK, Oct. SO.-Presi-
dent Hoover, while food admins
traitor during the war, suggested
that Americans be recruited for
service in allied armies under
allied officers instead of being
sent overseas for service as a
united American force.
This and other interesting dis
closures, many of which have
never been published, is made in
Frederick Palmer's biography Of
Newton D. Baker, just off the
press.
Mr. Baker, he said, proposed
drafting American man power for
industries a. well as military
service, and also proposed limit
ing all war industries dividends
so as to avert profiteering.
MIR. Baker, according to Mr..
Palmer, prepared an extended re-
port on how this country should
prepare for war and submitted it
to President Wilson a full year
in advance of our entry into the
world conflict, and only a few
weeks after his selection as Secre-
tary of War to succeed Lindley M.
Garrison, who, it was said, had
left President Wilson's Cabinet be-
cause of opposition to a prepared
ness program.
