That's because the laws aren't made to fit emergencies—most of "em evidently were made to protect the rich. Very well, then; let’s put Public Opinion to work. But first the public must realize the facts. | N. fan uncovers one fact of prime importance | when he writes: | “Great Britain and France have practically freed Atlantic | commerce now by bottling up the German fleet in the North! sea, and it is comparatively safe to transport foodstuffs and merchandise between American and lish ports. “The meaning of all th's is that our FOOD HOARDERS in this country are holding for the foreign demand, knowi! they can ship to Ei safely, and will make US PAY TH PRICES THAT THEY CAN GET IN EUROPE BE- CAUSE OF THE TREMENDOUS AND UNNATURAL DEMAND. “What the FOOD HOGS are doing now is to use their Powerful influence to get OUR government at Washington to help finance this deal by straightening out the interna- tional credit system, by insuring the ship cargoes, tecting their ships and otherwise helping them to ship OUR food- stuffs to war-etricken Europe and then MAKING US HERE) AT HOME PAY WAR PRICES FOR WHAT OUR PEO- PLE HAVE PRODUCED and what the FOOD HOGS have| grabbed and hoarded. | “AND THEY WILL USE THE PEOPLE’S OWN SAVINGS TO BUY UP THE FOOD, FOR THEY CON-| TROL THE BANKS THAT HOLD THE PEOPLE'S SAVINGS AND CAN BORROW THE MONEY TO BUY UP THE CROPS.” If there’s no law to stop this, the folks can make some. Let the federal grand juries throughout the country, with Uncle Sam's power behind them, report the facts about food juggling by big speculators, even if they can’t find any law on which to report indictments. Let them find out if any banks are withholding the deposited sh of the workers in order to accumulate a fund with which the food hogs can move our crops to high-| priced Europe, thus making the producers of America pay double at home, If such a condition shall be found, it oughtn’t to be hard for the people to put Uncle Sam into the banking business and, if necessary, into the market business himself. | Banking for the people, not banking for speculators, is| what Wilson promised and what it’s important to see that the| people get. Kill Partisan Politics! S THE primary election draws nearer, the unbiased and unprejudiced voter must realize more and more the ab surdity of partisan elections. The politician, as a general rule, votes a straight ticket. The average citizen does not and should not. But in the primaries there is no escape. When the voter enters the polls, he must ask for a party ticket, or he cannot vote at all. If, for example, he wants to see Ole Hanson nominated! for United States senator and Judge Brown for prosecuting | attorney, the voter is surely up against it in the primary | election. : If he asks for the progressive ticket, he can vote for Hanson but cannot vote for Brown. If he asks for the republican ticket, he can vote for Brown but not for Hanson. * Rep. Thomas F, Murphine had a bill in the last legislature abolishing the absurd party lines in county elections and hima for the blanket ballot. But the standpat influences illed it. Elect the right sort of legislators this fall and blind parti- sanship will be eliminated in the future.
