THERE Is A REMEDY
FOR PROFTTEERING

The looting of the family pocket
book goes on.
%m%
The sweeping price advances,
bounding upward each day, TAX
ing in coffee, sugar, beans, eggs,
butter, milk, bread-topped by a
ten-cent-a-pound increase on
practically all grades of meat
make bleak news for the Ameri-
can wage Garner.
#M#
The price rise which we are
paying is not a contribution to
the war effort. 1t is an extortion
levied by greed, We repeat that
the government protects the peo-
pie from robbers with gins. 1t
should protect us from robbers
with MAKEUP pencils.
#%#
Maybe the country doesn't
want another likeness of the
OPA, with its black markets and
its under the-counter extra mon
ey to fork over. But we know
that the government has billions
invested in stocks of food to sup
port prices. If the administration
is sincere in its opposition to pro-
fiteers, the food storage stocks
bullying in the gvernment ware
houses should be placed on the
market in competition with prof
teers.

Well they come here, sure of
what they want, but not sure OF
procedure, and not always sure
of reception. They sit on the
courtroom benches, trying to pul
zle out what is going on, rarely
getting a hearing until the wan
ing hours Of the afternoon. In
desperation, they finally gather
around the table to present thei1
case. Here, they often receive
scant attention and are often
subject to interruption as other
matters are thrust without cere-
mony before the meeting. What
opinion of democracy in action
do these citizens take home with
them?
$#N
Would you, gentlemen of the
Board, consider these sugges.
tons? s3E,As1ls
Set aside a definite period OF
the day to hear the delegations
that are always present. Arrange
for orderly hearings. Give the
people a chance to be heard in
the proper form. Invest a demo,
cratic procedure with the dignity
it deserves.
%*%
We believe that each member
of the the Board is willing to lis
ten to the people. We do not be-
lieve that the lack of order dur
ing a hearing is deliberate. That
disorderly procedure has always
existed here and probably is al
lowed to continue for that very
reason. tt should be corrected.

Could You Prevent
The City From Changing
The Nome OF Your Street7

For many years, a wealthy dow
ager lived in large house on an
exclusive residential street. One
day the city notified her that, be-
cause Of Encouragement of traf-
fic routes, the name and house
numbers Of that particular block
would have to be changed. The
dowager was outraged. and de-
cided to fight the change. She bat
tied all the way to the state SUI
preme court, insisting that the city
had no right to change her address
without her permission. However,
the court didn't see it that way and
upheld the city's action. The Judge
said that, no matter how long a
person has an address, it still new
er becomes his private property.

she had already died from suffoca-
ton. Later the rescuer demanded
the $4,000 he had been promised.
The husband pleaded that he should
not be bound by a promise under
such circumstances, but the court
ruled that he must indeed pay the
full amount. The judge pointed out
that the bystander had risked his
own life to fulfill the husbands
plea-and therefore was entitled to
his reward.

that her attack couldn't do any
harm-because Washington and his
family were all dead anyhowl But
the court found the woman guilty as
charged. The judge said that it was
wrong to maliciously blacken the
name of a person who still lived in
the memories of his countrymen.
