Were You frightened out of your
wits by the ghosts and pranks of
Halloween? Well, we at the southern
end of the county were not because,
aside from the fact that many tea
cheers entertained their pupils in
their respective classrooms. the en-
tire school was feted with a dynam-
ic party in the auditorium which
included apple bobbing. peanuts. ice
cream and dancing. We all boast
of having enjoyed ourselves i'm
mensely.
Mrs. M. G. James seems to think
that the formation of the Spelling

and a stout hearted toward wall
which thrice repulsed their heavier
opponents within the ten yard line,
rose from the brink OF defeat and
garnered TT tie with the highly
favored and experienced Greyhounds
from Lincoln Park High. The game
started as if 1t was going to be a
rout, as Adams recovered an Eagles
tumble on the IS. But the visitors
did not reckon with the fierce play
of the Eagles forwards. which took
the ball on downs after yielding
eight yards. A poor kick into the
wind by AL Balm gave FIT. Pierce the
ball again deep in the Eagles terri
tory. TT. Pierce moved from the 10
to the s, first and goal. After four
stabs at the line. the ball rested IN
the 3 in the Eagles possession. Con-
dry's 40 yard kick eased the situa.
ton somewhat. But the entire first
period was played deep In the
Eagles territory.
The Eagles made their bid for q
score in the second canto when .hoy

drive to the visitors Is. where they

Defeating themselves to the ex-
pansion and growth of democracy,
members of the Farmers Union in a
preamble to the policy and program
called ''for new leadership in for
eign affairs for we have stake in
international relations. Wheat in
our fields is involved in war and
peace. The atom in our mines is in
volved in war and peace. Our sons
and daughters are involved in war
and peace. We demand leadership
and understanding that will restore
all nations to a self-help status free
of exploitive taints where self-gov-
eminent and world union will grow.
"Out of the seeds of freedom in
America should come such flower
ing of leadership and understanding
as shall touch the earth with new
hope for peace.
Thus only can the individual
emerge as a free, mature citizen in
full possession of his God-given pow
ers for peaceful, humane living"

American political democracy, civil
liberties, and economic abundance.
ITO direct our foreign aid pro-
grams through the United Nations,

ITO remove political and military

ITO end the influence and author

of war.
ITO do our best to protect the
living standards of ourselves and our
fellow Americans from the profiteer-
ing and initiation which make posi-
BILE and result from such a reckless
course to world disaster.

ton, and as individual citizens bring

common men of EARTH"
Franco
Very flatly the convention urged
''the defeat of the movement on foot
at the present time for the recogni-
ton of Franco . :"
Foreign Aid
A program favorable to democracy |
in foreign lands was called for with
the request that the U. N. Economic
Commission be granted the author
ity to encourage small Independent
business, co-operatives, TWAS on the
Rhine, Danube and Rhone and "thus
increase Democracy's opportunity
and prevent return to bigger, more
powerful Fascism."

MONOPOLY PERILS AMERICAN Free
ENTERPRISE, SAYS Rail EXPERT

dom will do the job. Railroad men
and monopolists generally, he de-
clared are talking free enter
prise" and "practicing monopoly"
Wiprud attacked the Reed-Bulwin-
kle bill, which exempts railroads
from some provisions of the Sher-
man antitrust laws, as the opening
wedge in drive to wreck all monop-
oily control.
He declared that the 80th Congress
"for the first time in history" ex-
empted an industry which is under
control (the railroads. from the anti
trust laws.
"Other industries" not under con-
troll, are now seeking to win the same
exemptions" he declared.

The Farmers Angle

bed Republican state of South Da-
kota (Mundt, Case, Gurney) slipped
from Republican percentage of SO
to 81 per cent.
But just in case farmers think they
will have permanent prosperity they
should take a look at the release
from the Department of Agriculture
made two days after election, head
lined in the press: "Signs Indicate
Farmers Future to be Less Rosy" 1t
said, "farm costs can be expect
ed to eat up more and more of the
farmers cash returns as income gains
slow down and expenses continue to
climb"
Put On the Pressure-Or Face
Betrayal
The Democrats are Sin" now, and
whether they do battle against the
"gluttons of privilege" they attacked
so fiercely during the campaign or
fold their arms and get along will be
determined by the amount of organ
lied grass roots pressure put on the
Democrats and Republicans both to
make them keep their campaign
promises. Similarly, the same holds
true for labor because we are now
being gently informed by the press
that the Taft-Hartley law will be
modified" and perhaps 'Sthe name
changed" But all in all there is a
difference between the things that
farmers and labor voted for and
what they will get. Happy days are
not here again yet. Truman is not
Roosevelt. All we get will have to
be fought for from the factories and
the farms just as if Dewey was hand
ing out crumbs on golden platter.

FARM PRICES CONTINUE
STEADY DECLINE

The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies announced this week that
for the second consecutive month
prices received by farmers declined.
The parity ratio which represents the
purchasing power of the farmers dol
lar also declined. The index dropped
to 116, one point lower than month
ago, four points lower than year
ago and II points lower than the
record high of 1873. Cash income for
the month ending September Is also
took a drop while farm costs we're
considerably higher than they were
year ago. For month ending Sept.
Is, cash farm income amounted to
5000 million; year ago it was $615
The index of farm costs
a year ago stood at $50. This month
they had risen to $276. - NFU in

Double Whan In
Car Racket

Washington (FP) - Rep. w.
Kingsland Macy told Federated Press
November 5 that unethical business
men and producers are overcharging
American consumers by "many hun
dreds of millions of dollars" this
year alone.
'"They have taken advantage of
the steel shortage" he declared
(which makes automobiles and other
heavy items scarce And they are
milking the consumer for as much as
they can get"
Rep. Macy made the charge during
a recess in hearings before the house
committee on questionable trade
practices, of which he is chairman.
The committee has found that al
though historically trade-in cars are
handled at loss, Washington deal
ers made a profit of 43 percent on
them this year. During the first
seven months of 1948 this practice
cost Washington car buyers $4,000
900, the committee says. By forcing
they did not want the dealers made
another $2,400,000 in unearned
profits, the committee charges.
Extending these figures to cover
the entire country, the committee
estimates that American car buyers
were soaked an extra $3.50, 100000
during the seven months.

Federal Sales Taxes
Should Be Discouraged

Postwar federal sales taxes, espec-
tally those on the necessities of life,
are to be discouraged. They are OBJ
jectionable from the standpoint of eq-
uity and threaten the enlarged market
essential for the maintenance of high
postwar employment.
BY avoiding the personal discipline
required in direct taxes, they are con-
ducive to government extravaganza.

Economics, University of Wisconsin,

Washington. - American free en-
terprise is in greater danger than
ever before, Arne C. Wiprud, rail
road expert and former special as
sistant to the attorney general, testi-
fled before the house small business
committee at a hearing on the anti
trust laws.
The danger from within, he de-
clared, sis more subtle than any from
without and therefore constitutes
more of a threat"
1t Consists in the ever increas-
ing concentration of economic and
financial power in the hands of
few" he maintained.
The rail expert was the star wit
ness at a hearing designed to find
out whether the Sherman antitrust
law and the Clayton act need
strengthening.

Craftsmanship of Rep. William H..
Stevenson Or, Wis.,, Rep. Wright
Patman Cd, Tex.), who is slated to
become chairman in the 81st con-
gress, attended and promised to use
testimony now being gathered in
drive for stricter antitrust laws.
Monopoly Not Free Enterprise
Wiprud flatly accused the rail
roads and other transportation in
dustries of fostering the growth of
economic concentration through
discriminatory practices against
small business. He declared that
the railroads will not be really free
until they have been divorced
from banker control" He warned
that private ownership of rail
roads will become a thing of the
past" unless railroad men them
selves take up the fight for COM
petition.
Wiprud told the committee that he
had prepared his testimony reluct-
antly believing, at first, that cit
would be listened to politely, and
hen filed away and forgotten"
Since that time, he continued, "the
people have spoken and made known
heir will'' in the last election.
He declared his firm belief now
hat there is chance TO preserve
he American system from the in
oads of monopoly and he hopes Con-
,ress will make the most of it.

areas that fooled the smart poll-tak
ers and the politicians, Democrats as
we'll as Republicans. Rural voters
elect roughly two-thirds of the law
makers, both on state and national
scale. In the past, these have been
largely anti union. Evidence the
Republicans were taken in by their
own propaganda and too simple rea-
soning to the effect that farmers al
ways vote COP when they are well
fixed and would continue to vote for
them regardless of program or who
led their running pack on the ticket.
Under-estimated Intelligence of
Farm People
They no doubt figured, too, that
all farmers were sufficiently imbued
with the all-the-time anti labor cam
paign so they would blindly vote for
any candidates who loudly supported
the Taft-Hartley law. But they reck-
oned without benefit of farm price
charts or political voting records.
And they also reckoned without Civ
ing the farmer credit for eventually
seeing through the anti union hog
wash.
Wherever one goes nowadays farm
ers ask the same worried questions:
"When will the bust Gomez" Chow
bad will it be-" "Will we go broke
again like we did during the depres-
sion?" Farmers are willing to see
farm prices come down "for the good
of the country" if other things come
down too.
But they have seen corn drop to
half of what it was a year ago and
other grains put on the skids while
farm operating costs have gone up
