Member of the United Press, Pub- bs ¥ by The Star Pubiien- THE For Freedom The recommendations of the Ohio lc ssion appointed to investigate the high cost of living, have pa “ and domes slative comm practically unnoticed, yet its treatment of economic | tie subjects is of the very highest importance to the whole} nation 4 What relief is there finally in howling about high costs, cold storage and combinations controlling prices of foodstuffs, when conditions are such as set forth in the two paragraphs following? 1. The bureau of commerce and labor reports that the value of foodstuffs exported has fallen from $550,000,000 in 1898 to $330,000,000 the fiscal year of 1910; cattle exported in 1910, ‘ 127,000, as against 593,000 in 1904; lard in 1910 one-half that in ‘ 1906 ;wheat one-third that of 1902; corn one-fifth that of 1900 meat and dairy products $140,000,000 worth, against $211,000,000 in 1906, In short, we are rapidly approaching a time when we WILL NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH TO EAT, and that old theory about Uncle Sam feeding the world will be 0g moses niece nean Reet AACA eT INRA: but a hazy dream. ‘ 2. The Washington authorities put the immigration for the } fiseal year 1910 at 1,000,000. | 949. Taking last month as a sample, there came to us 8400 t Germans, 31,086 Italians, 22,003 Polish and 5,906 Greeks, mostly 4 @ agricultural folk. It is safe to say that over 90 per cent of these people will be nonproducers—that is, they will locate in the cities or mines : virtually BECOMING SLAVES IN ALL SAVE THE NAME. Here we have a threatened shortage in production and big The first nine months show 667 ‘ : inereases in nonproducing consumers. It is plainly the burning : of the economic candle at both ends,.to say nothing of the great national moral issues involved. The Ohio statesmen referred to suggest remedies. They would have the state maintain agricultural schools and experi mental farms in each county. They would have a labor bureau to furnish laborers to farmers. They would have the moral, physical and domestic ad-| vantages of country life taught in all the public schools They would push to the front everything having a ten dency to ATTRACT THE YOUNG MEN OF THE COUN- TRY TO THE FARMS instead of the city. We venture to say that very few real thinking patriots can be found who do not feel that the future of our nation and its highest ideals depend upon serious, powerful movement along the lines indicated by these Ohio investigators. We have got to have more teaching and practicing of free dom, a larger percentage of our people INDEPENDENT OF THE FOOD TRUST, THE TRANSPORTATION POOL AND THE COLD STORAGE PLANT. ———— MISTER FLY’S FAVORITE GYMNASTICS a ont 4 : Letters from the People.
