The president’s commodity price raising campaign has gone far he- yond what he expected, and has become a matter of grave concern. It has brought the profiteers out in the open and they are gouging people to the limit, and the gouge is sinking deeper day by day. tain fair-sized city a few weeks ago a popu- lar brand of crackers were selling at nine- teen,cents a box. A few days ago the same crackers were priced at thirty-one cents a box—a price’ boost of more than sixty per- cent, That is just one small sample of what the profiteers are doing even this early in the game. We believe the business firms of this town are possessed of good judgment and a desire to be fair with their customers— they must of a necessity make a reasonable profit on the goods they sell—they are en- titled to that. There is no excuse or justification for the skyrocket rise in commodity prices dur- ing the past few weeks, That is most notice- able in the cities, where merchants appear to be going mad in their insane desite to “make a killing” in price boosting..))\ | And therein lies {he golden oppor- tunity for the country town merchant. The buying public is going to become incensed and disgusted over the greed that has followed the president’s invitation to raise prices. City merchants are not mere- ly adding the inerease in wholesale cost to their own retail prices. They are great- ly increasing their standard scale of profits, thereby annexing additional pounds of tlesh at the expense of luckless consumers. ACROSS 1. Pertaining to @ lobe 6. Meadow 9.

Soaking the rich, which is’a present national sport, will never get | Thoughtful citizens can not fail to look upon the ever increasing tendency of governmental agencies to restrict and “reg- ulate” our daily activities, which are be- coming more and more enmeshed in a maze of red tape. Practically every new law passed by Congress or state legislatures is designed to further extend this paternal supervision by. innumerable commissions, boards, and bureaus, many of which have no valid rea- son for existence, except that they make jobs to fatten the public payroll. Among the many persons of promi nence who have protested against these indefensive encroachments upon the liber- ties of the people is former Governor Theo- dore Christiansen of Minnesota, who said: } ‘ft emphatically disapprove of the nu- mérous and petty régulations with . which’ little bureaucrats in Washington annoy and harass business, big and little,” The fact that these burdensome regu- lations are not the result of any demand the part of the public,.but are originated by politicians who seek the limelight and are ambitious to have their names jdenti- fied with restrictive laws of every conceiy- able subject. BIG MEN ARE SHY It may sound cynical, but it is a fact that the really capable men of the country are extremely shy of polities and political jobs. Whenever a man who has made a success ‘in life is proposed as a candidate for either election or appointment, he is immediatediy pounced upon by the dema- gogues and hounded without mercy. The s.tuation was sized up some time ago by Will Rogers, who with his keen in- sicht said of presidential appointments: “Big men won't take them, for they SEER KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Here Just 10 Years Aso Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen | Captain William Davidson of the Mallory Steamship Comal, who} assisted in the search for the miss-) medical ing tanker City of Everett, said today on the arrival of the Comal that he first received the SOS call from the tanker when he was, about 75 miles from the location given.
