FATE OF THE “FUTURE” Thoughtful students of domestic affairs in this country are just now closely watching the effects of the new government policy of food control. Wrapped up in this policy is the probable total abolition of the practice of dealing in ‘‘futures,” as applied to food stuffs, It has been the practice of Americans to unreservedly condemn this practice, and to, in fact, condemn the entire transactions of the great ex- changes and boards of trade. However, in the operations of these insti- tutions there has always been a work done that no other agency seemed able to handle. The legitimate grain exchanges performed a very needed task in equalizing the distribution of the food supply, and could not be dispensed with. This is seen in the decision of the government to take over this task, which is now in the hands of Mr. Hoover. Now the country is watching to see the effect of the abolition of the purely speculative activities of the exchanges, known as ‘‘futures.” This practice has been for the time being discontinued. Its effect will be.care- fully noted, afid the future policy of the country will without doubt be shaped accordingly. If the abolition of the practice proves beneficial to the country in war times, it will most assuredly be retained in peace. War has already taught us many lessons that are being put into practice and which we will never forget. " The fact that the food of a nation may be effectively distributed without the element of speculation may be another lesson that we shall learn. If this shall be the result, then the occupa- tion of this species of gambler will be gone, and the country will take a long breath of relief. It will also be interesting to note how many of the functions of trade will remain in government hands after peace comes. We have already veered largely to socialistic views of life, and still more radical changes may be in prospect. Conservative views of long standing have been aban- doned and more radical measures adopted. For years we have been told that we were asleep on the job in many respects. Now the awakening has come and no measurg seems too daring to be tried out. Without doubt many of these will be found meritorious, and if so, the innate fairness of the American people will demand their retention in ouf scheme of economy. SORE HEADS WIELD HAMMER It it had been one of *“our bunch” it would have been all right, is the way a lot of sore heads look at the Pioneer whenever it has something commendatory to say about some one which is TRUE. They are of the be- lief that no one in Bemidji jhas the slightest ability nor intelligence to do anything worth while except themselves and when it is done a howl goes up from these shouters for the “big moise”” in an effort to discredit the one who was successful. And several of these mouth pieces have to keep their coats on and buttoned tightly. If they'd take 'em off the rotten spots would show, but everybody knows they're there. They'll ghoot their faces off about the Pioneer when it has a good word for anyone they are trying to injure, but when the Pioneer boosts them they take it as a matter of course and keep their bazoo closed so tight one couldn’t shove a mustard seed down their throat and swell up like a pouter pigeon. In other words, if one doesn't continually sing the praises of “our bunch” they immediately get out their hammers with the longest handle and commence. They could draw good wages driving spikes on a rail- road, but it gets them nothing otherwise, for Bemidji has their measure. The Duluth Tribune yesterday ran a cut of Superintendent Dickens of the Red Lake Indian agency and labelled it “Carlos Avery.” As both are good scouts there isn’t any reason why either shouldn’t feel complimented. Newspaper dispatches contain the information that the nut growers of the nation are to hold a convention in New York. Bemidji could send several capable delegates. Along about the time the women finish their canning of food stuffs, the voters will begin preparing for the canning of more ‘“‘politicians.” From present indications, after this war is over the politicians will have to employ some expert surveyors to locate the party lines. _— Official Washington is wondering if the Japanese mission didn’t over- look its hand. The matter of a loan was not mentioned. ——— The afflictions of the coal barons have completely eclipsed the woes of the ice man in public attention. \ND PROFESSIONAL |- - Advertisers. - Offering you their “good service” and spending money to tell community about themselves. not call them up? this Why A.
