S. food administration. “France must have bread if it es our last ounce of wheat to give it to her.” France must not starve. We must save wheat. [ Any American who eats wheat now or until our crop is e ested takes that much bread out of the mouths of hungry rs and workers and little children “over there.” The government needs gasoline and motor lubri- cants. Here's where the “otly” bird catches the- devil! Until It Hurts : While we common folks are asked to subscribe and give “until it hurts,” certain figures respecting the profit-making corporations appear right conspicuous to us. The government proposes to raise $8,000,000,000 of war | Money by taxation. The commissioner of internal revenue rts that in 1917 the corporate returns amounted to a taxable net income of $8,693,841,327, or just about enough to fill Uncle Sam’s war purse. But, last year, the government took of this big corpora- tion revenue only $173,876,826. It seems not unreasonable of us common folks to ask congress, in making its new tax bill, to tax the corporations “until it hurts.” Interned women in the city jail are to have a chance for fresh air on the roof. Acquiring a place in the sun? Prices of Coal Mayor Hanson’s request for an impartial. investiga- tion of coal prices is timely. When the government set the price of wheat under Food Administrator Hoover, it stayed fixed. There was no weekly and monthly fluctuations due to this reason or that. The fuel administration, however, has permitted a rise in coal prices quite frequently, until today Seattle, lying in a fertile coal belt, is paying an outrageous price for inferior coal. These high prices may be without profiteering. Just as the mayor points out, the question is to restore public confidence. If the public were convinced that the prices, however altitudinous, were without profiteering percent- ages, the people would buy, prepare for the winter, avoid a fuel famine and keep the miners at work. As it is, they are not buying, and the men are not working steadily. The mayor’s courage in speaking straight from the shoulder in this situation is to be commended. Good old rain!
