BLEWETT, one of the Leader’s regularly employed car- toonists, calls this cartoon ‘‘Singling him out’’. It is a good =] cartoon and a good title because it brings out in a way that - goes home to everybody who looks at it just what is taking place at this time. The government has singled the farmer out as a vietim of price regulation.

The farmer will not kick at being com- pelled to give up all his profits, because he is patriotic—that i, he will not kick if the government makes the other fellows, the fellows who * make and sell all the farmer has TO BUY, also give up their profits. But the farmer will object to being singled out and alone made to suf- fer by price regulation. And he will object if the profits talkeén away from him are not made by the government to benefit THE ACTUAL CONSUMERS, and not simply to benefit millers and middlemen. The League‘s big meetings will take up these matters. e WHOLE NUMBER. 104. Everybody Gets Away But the Farmer e i S S A o i ' 15 b
