We further recommend that to pro-
vide the needed school revenue the
legislature authorize increasing the
high school budget maximum by 5000,
and the elementary maximum school
mill levy by 500, and that the legis-
lature increase the state appropriation
to the Public School General Fund to
$1,700,000, an increase of $750,000 over
the 1915 appropriation.
We recommend that these senti-
ments be transmitted to:
Governor Sam G. Ford, Dean Chat

Major Meat Packers Really Cleaned Up

clearly in restraint of trade and should
not be adopted. However, the others
were not bothered by the illegal char

War Profits
In spite of walls from the packers,
the record shows that their wartime
profits were terrific. Wilson e. Co. in
1914 earned 26.7 per cent on it's in
vested capital before paying taxes, this
still amounted to a net 1912 per cent
after all taxes and costs were paid
In that year Wilson's invested capital
was $72,000,000 and its profits before
taxes were $19,000,O00
Comparison of pre-war and wartime
profits of the biggest three packers
prove that profits allowable under
OPA should have brought forth only
gratitude from the trust for having
such controls as OPA put in force. A
study by Consumers Union shows the
picture:

one that the school groups and the
governors reorganization committee
have seen fit to leave undisturbed
However, though this particular side
show does not dispense advice on how
best to secure the necessary funds,
rest assured the matter will be given
plenty of thought by all factions.
Progressives will insist that the best
way to do it is to increase the taxes
of those best able to pay, such as the
foreign owned corporations, the in
surance trust which annually milks
the state of millions, and others who
have never paid their proportionate
share of the taxes necessary to eff
GENTLY operate our state, county and
school governments.
On the other hand, the groups which
finance the Tax Evaders Association
will blithefully inform the legislators
that the best way to do it will be to
enact a SALES TAX-that the poor
bankruptcy threatened corporations
are in no position to pay more. Some
legislative trapeze artists may fall for
this bunco game. But for those who
do. it is only fair that they be fore
warned that copious quantities of tar
and feather will await their return to
their home counties.

try during the two world wars, he
should under no circumstances be
given executive clemency.
Senator Langer's vigorous support
of Viereck's demand for executive
clemency is not the first time Senator
LANCER rushed to Viereck's defense.
When the supreme court, on technical
grounds, reversed Viereck's first con-
viction for violation of the Foreign
Agents Registration Act, Senator
LANCER took the senate floor and de-
nounced the governments prosecution
as persecution. He said:
"'Mr President, because of that
wrongful conviction, Mr.. Viereck has
been nut to a tremendous expense.
Besides that, he has served about a
year in jail l am, therefore, giving
notice tltat | shall submit resolution
asking for full and complete investi-
cation of this persecution and asking
that committee be appointed to de-
termine the amount of costs that Mr..
Viereck was put to and to decide on
sum which in their opinion will rea-
sonably compensate him for the time
he spent in JAIL and to ask for that
sum of money so that Mr.. Viereck will
get such justice as congress may be
able to give him, inadequate as it
may be, to wipe out the wrong which
has been done
ITO Viereck, who had received in
excess of 100000 from the nazis for
his work over a period of only IS
months, such Justice as LANCER pro-
posed would have been pure velvet.
Fortunately, the U. S. senate was
spared the ignominy of debating fin
ancial rewards for an admitted nazi
agent Viereck was retired and con-
victed. This time the sentence was al
firmed on appeal and the supreme
court denied certiorari.
LANCER ConsoIed Seditionists
In Jail
I'm 1914 LANCER rushed to the de
Tense of the defendants in the sedi-
ton case, a number of whom already
had been convicted and were serving
prison sentences for sedition in war
of Viereck or because of some other
fact, those defendants looked upon
LANCER as their champion and sought
his interest in their behalf. Nor did
he disappoint them. On several occa-
sions he visited those already con-
victed who were being detained in the |
District of Columbia Jail. On one such !
visit he left money for the defendant |
Rober Noble, a convicted seditionist |
though this was contrary to prison
regulations. On another, he accom-
panied the defendant Elizabeth Dilling
to a conference with Noble and his
convicted associate Ellis o. Jones' On
still another occasion, the Senator at
tended the sedition trial and conferred
with the defendants.
LANCER gave aid and comfort in
other ways, too. During the trial,
which ended with the death of Justice
Eicher, he delivered a long speech in
the senate attacking the prosecution
and attempting to whitewash the de-

Net Profits After Taxes
The 1916 Record

The 1916 Record
Despite the wage strike and the
three-month price sit-down strike by
the packers, profits during the first
half of 1916 were very satisfying. For
example, Armour showed a net profit
of $10,000,000 as compared with slight
ly less than $9,00O,000 for the entire
year of 1915.
In spite of this favorable profit con-
dition, four major detectives warrant
ed, at least in the packers minds,
their campaign which created so much
hardship for consumers, difficulties
for farmers and unemployment for the
clearinghouse workers. These four
detectives were:
1. Force the ending of price controls
and clean up during the period of
soaring prices;
2. Weaken, if not destroy the Pack
inghouse Workers union by brief pc
RODS of rush work followed by long
periods of no work;
3. Utilize price uncertainty and cha
otto marketing conditions to drive out
Of business the numerous legitimate
small Independents which had entered
the field during the war years;
4. Create a meat shortage which
would climax in September and Octo-
Der to be used by reactionaries to
panic the people into voting their
ticket.
The chaotic events of 1916 show how
these detectives were advanced by
the meat trust in skilfully planned
campaign.
Meat Hoarding
Although American consumers dur
ing May and June found meat an al
most nonresident item on their table,
there was plenty of meat in the ma
ton - in packinghouse cold storage
plants, as well as on packer owned or
dominated feed lots. Just before the
end of June major packers had $780,
000 900 pounds of meat in coolers as
well as thousands of head of cattle
in feed lots.
With the price holiday the cool
ers rapidly emptied reaching 350,0O0,-
600 pounds by September 1. All this
meat had been accumulated under
OPA ceiling prices, and was sold to
the public at fantastic prices. Furth-
er, the records reveal that while the
trust was making a big cleanup dur
ing July and August, the grower, on
the average was receiving less than
OPA prices for the cattle he sold. AS
an example, the conservative Illinois
Prairie Farmer reported that of 5000
cattle purchased by packers in one

Brazil Deputies Vote
tuesday on Custer Of.
Reds in Public Office.
By the Assccioted Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. GA
Chamber of Deputies Committee to-
night approved bill to remove all
Communists remaining In public
posts
The committee voted, Is to 4, in
favor of the measure, which already
has been approved by the Senate.
1t is expected to be brought to
vote Tuesday in the Chamber of
Deputies where many observers pre-
dicted it would be approved.
The legislation would remove Is
Communists from the Brazilian
Congress, 18 from the Rio de Janeiro
City Council, approximately so from
various state legislatures and an un-
known number from posts in various
municipalities.
Sabotage Laid to Communists.
Brazil has broken diplomatic rela-
tions with Russia and has declared
the Communist Party illegal. Brazil
ian Communists have countered
with sabotage and disorders.
Strikes, derailments and short
circuits on the vital Sorocabana
railway connecting industrial Sac
Paulo with the port of Santos and
nearby farming districts have been
attributed to Communists by the
police.
Police now are riding trains there
The railroad union has been for
hidden to meet and strikes are
spreading throughout the nations
railway system.
A Communist mass meeting was
broken up by police last night in
the nothern city of Recife, some
times called the Moscow of Brazil"
A Communist revolution broke out
there in 1885.
Meeting Broken Up.
A number of persons were
wounded last Monday when police
dissolved a meeting in Sac Paulo.
Army units have been posted in
the interior of Sac Paulo state and
a number of Communist legislators
and aldermen have been placed
under arrest, it was reported.
In Rio de Janeiro the police have
prohibited the holding of IL mass
meetings. Several students have
been arrested for distributing pam
phlets attacking the bill to remove
Communists from public office.
The Communist newspaper Tri-
buna Popular was suspended for 30
days for attacking the government.
Despite the suspension. however, the
paper appeared today under the
name Classe Operaria working
class The paper contended the
suspension was illegal because the
authorities had acted under 1888
law revoked by the 1916 constitution.

Eighth Day Of Air Search
For Missing Cal Fails
Rx the Assncinted PresS

FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec. @
American, French and Swiss planes,
ranging from the Alps to the North
Sea, failed again today in forlorn
attempt to locate United States
Air Forces CAT transport missing
eight days with 20 persons aboard.
Air rescue headquarters at Frank
furt airport said bad weather
grounded a considerable number OF
search planes. The search will con-
tinue tomorrow for the aircraft
which was lost on a routine flight
from Pisa, Italy, to Frankfurt.
officials expressed fear that the
10 American soldiers and an Amer
lean woman aboard the missing,
transport might have died in the
cold and snow which hampered the
search until yesterday.
They also expressed doubt that
erratic radio signals, which earlier
pointed the search toward the
French-German border, actually
had come from the downed plane.
A thorough air and ground comb
ing of the area indicated by the
family heard signals showed no
trace of the transport.

Several years ago the Commission
