\ y . CONSUMERS’ HIGH GOST LOA WADE UP Tnfolerable Conditions Here Created by Scientific Profiteering. GOUGING INEXCUSABLE Senator Capper Reveals the Evils Done by the Big Malefactors, By Arthur Capper, United States Senator from Kansas. Third of @ series of articles written especially for The Evening World. WASHINGTON, D.C. Feb, 12.- Consumers in the olty are asking why they pay 60 much for pork and beef; farmers are asking why they are ob- taining 90 trifling a reward for their work of raising beef and pork, and the starving people of Europe are acking why they cannot get beef and pork at any price. This anomalous condition—a condition scientifically inexcusable—pas startled all who have given ft any study. There is in the country an immense surplus of pork that should, by all the laws of commerce and by all the accepted standards of economy, be fmmedintely ditributed. But it can- not be distributed, flor two reasons: First, the people of the United States are, eating all they can pay for, and, second, the people of Europe are un- able to pay for any of it. Citizens of Europe would consume the surplus if the means for purchasing it were .made available. ‘This can be done through the estab- Ushment of credits, and laws necessary for this should be enacted without de- lay. I have called the attention of the Department of Commerce to this unhappy and, I may say, inexcusable, condition in relation to the pork and beet that are going begging for cus- tomers, and have insisted that the means be found by which the starving people of Europe can obtain a satis- fying and wholesome diet. ‘The other day, ax Vienna, an- nouncement was made by the au- thorities that a certain amount of beef would be sold to each applicant untii the supply on hand was ex- hausted. All day long lines of hun- gry citizens besieged the market, and at nightfall thousands were turned away, unuable to obtain an ounce of beef or pork. And while long lines of hungry Austrians clamored for the privilege of purchasing a small Amount of meat, hundreds of millions of pounds of American pork were vainly secking customers. DEMANDS A SCIENTIFIC BASIS OF CREDITS. This, if for no other consideration, makes’ necessary the retum to nor- mal foreign trade relations and the establishment, on a scientific basis, of credits which will permit the nor- mal exchange of commodities between the nations of the earth. What we are troubled with to-day is the high costs of profits. This, if persisted in, will make life a burden to the average American. It will arouse such indignation as to threat- en peace and good order, and furnish the ‘most dangerous incentive to the cultivation of Bolshevistic leas. Profiteers are levying unheard-of . tribute on all consumers and on all original producers. ‘Take sugar, for instance. For weeks past our citizens have been paying from eighteen to twenty-four cents a pound for this necessary food. The veriest tyro ought not to be deceived ag to the reason for this, A shortage was apparently deliberately created. It was created by exporting immense quantities of sugar to Europe and other countries, and then the gougers declared they would have to increase prices beyond anything hitherto known in the United Stat T come from a S 50,000 tons of beet su, Tam naturally friendly 1) that in- dustry: I believe in giving to sugar the encouragement that 1 would give to ibeat, pork, wheat, corn, wool, cot- ton and all other products. But prof- iteering in sugar is just as repre hensible as gouging in other kylnige \- ities. It is perhaps an even worse sin. Profiteers are not among that class of pilferers who divide the spoils with the producers, hence the beet sugar growers are not in any way particl- pating in the huge revenue collected from the innocent public. BY-PRODUCTS MAKE THE BEET SUGAR OUTPUT ALL “VELVET. The beet sugar grower gets from eleven to twelve dollars a ton for his beats, A ton of beets will produce in cess of 300 pounds of sugar. ‘This freans that the farmer recelves about {cents a pound for the sugar which he has grown. It is a tremendous leap from 4 cents to 18 cents, ‘ Pat this is not all, I am informed py competent authorities that the owners af the sugar plants receive products of the beets more money to compensate cost of extracting the it on the mark oh raises tally and them for the nd putting The beet fulp is sold to f rmers, who in turn feed it to their cattle 8 Agari . ‘he present rate of wages paid Atte Po helpers and the increase in cost of all that goes ante: bg head otlo: t would be impossible Tor e i pie UI his product at a raiser of beets to se reduced price.

Hickson, head of the Chicago Psychopathic Laboratory, who ‘warns of the perils in the oulja ‘hoard and apirit mediums. Said Dr, Gregory: “It are weak minded, prone to lean to- ward the mystic or impregnated with the germ of insanity keep away from Ouija. This recent wave of consultation with Ouija is @ most unhappy thing and has many unhappy resuits, which we here in this ward see close at hand, “We have many cases of victims of their own desire to. peer into the future, to wrest secrets from the ouja board, or some spirit medium. Their interest stimulated, their imaginations get the ‘better of them and their nerves break down. “Just recently we had a case of two brothers. A bit unbalanced mentally, they began to use ouija ‘boards for all manner of ques- tions, They began getting “mes- ages” and they ended right here in the psychopathic ward of salers and retailers of sugar have divided among them more than 100 ber cent. profits on the basis of bresent sugar prices there is no earthly rea- son why the threat of largely in- creased cost of canned goods should be carried out. Of course, the can- ners and packers buy at wholesale. But there is a painful conviction in the public mind that the excessive price of sugar will necessitate a sharp rise in the cost of canned goods and the canners and packers will not neglect to take advantage of this peculiar popular psychology. THE GOUGING PROFITEER CREATING THE RED. The profiteers of big business, among whom there are undoubtedly A number of coal operators, are as great a menace to our imistitutions as the Bolsheviki, the I. W. W.’s and the radicals who are preaching the overthrow of our @overnment. We can deal with the loud spoken Bolshevist more effectually than with the sleek, oily, well groomed, im- merely wealthy and socially en- trenched profiteer. It is the profiteer rho produces the Bolshevists, The recent action of the sugar profiteers has produced more Bolshe- | vists than all the orators who could | preach that dootrine from all the ros- |trums in the couniry for years to come. These men fan the flame of discontent while pocketing the gold of the millions of citizens whom they force to pay tribute to them. In this connection tet me suggest that while the country properly com- mends the activities of the Depart- ment of Justice in running to earth the irresponsible Reds who infest the nation, the people would feel a litile more satisfied {f the Attorney General would report the occastonal arrest and conviction of men who have a large part in creating Reds. The arrest and conviction of a giant prefiteer would produce in the popular mind a feeling of hope that at last an earnest @fort is to be made to bring the plunderers to justice. I have looked in vain for such evidence of wholesome activity on the part of the Department of Tustice. Tt may be that the profiteers conduct their criminal business with such finesse as to be able to elude the ut- most vigilance on the part of the agents of the Department of Justice, If this is so, it exposes an extremely unwholesome condition of that service, If Uncle Sam can be continually out- witted, it follows that the work of gouging may be conducted with im- punity, ee COLLAPSES WHEN ARRESTED Frank Malloy, Cha: With Bu lary, Has Double Pneumonia.

Y., Feb. 12. ‘WENTY-FOUR thousand vacant houses were found on farms in New York State by J. B. Shep- ard, of the U. S, Bureau of Crop Esti- mates, who has completed a canvass of the State in co-operation with the State College of Agriculture, it was announced to-day at the thirteenth annual Farmers’ Week here. About 6,000 farmers are in attendance. The figures show that the people on farms are 3 percent less to-day than @ year ago. “Hired men” are 17 per cent less and average less than one to every three farms, “This indicates,” Prof. Warren of the college said, “that 35,000 men and boys left the farm during the year to enter other industries; 11,000 went back to the farms, leaving 24,000 net loss to the Stdte. Wages are 14 per cent. higher than last year.” “WHISKEY SHIP” AGAIN ON VOYAGE Weighs Anchor for Second Time With $4,800,000 Cargo for Havana. With a cargo of booze valued on the! books at $4800,000 and ‘by on-lookers at sums ranging from ten times that figure up to the equivalent of the National debt, the steamship Yar- mouth of the Black Star line, with colored captain, a colored crew and thirty-four colored —_ passengers, weighed ancor shortly before noon to: day in the Hudson River at the foot of West 80th Street and sailed for Havana. The Yarmouth had had more trouble than all the Uncle Tom's Cabin com- panies that ever played the keros clreuit. Sailing on Jan. 17 for Ha- vana with her priceless cargo--wines, champagne and 21,419 cases of Green River—she had trouble at sea, sig- nalled for help and was towed back after throwing 500 cases of whiskey Sverboard off the Virginia Coast. | ‘Twenty prohibition agerits guarded the ship fight and day in Ne w York to prevent the stuff from getting ashore, and arrested several for try- ing to run the blockade. AUTOS KILLED 1,345 IN STATE IN 1919 Death Toll Shows 100 Per Cent, Increase for Period Begin- ning in 1914. ALBANY, N, ¥., Feb. 12.—A total of 1,345 deaths fro mautomobile accidents during 1919 was reported to-day by the State Health Department. This is an increase of over 100 per cent for the four-year period beginning 1914. For that period the yearly average was 608, ‘The “crime wave'' which swept this country during 1919 is clearly reflected in the State. The report shows there were 426 homicides during the last year, as compared with 345 in 1918. Suicides, however, decreased, there being 1,245, against 1,302 for 1918. —_—>—__..

Her condition be- came grave last December and her relatives were summoned from Amer- lea. The surgeons were handicupped by Gaby's insistence that her throat be not scarred. For the last ten years Gaby was one of the best known figures in the world. Former King Manuel of Portu- gal “made” her by his infatuation. Her unique personality, which was expressed in freak costumes and tow- ering headdressses, made her popular in Broadway musical comedy when she first came here. Her most recent appearance in jw York, however, was not a success. She visited New York last October in company witb the Duke de Crussol, who ran away from his mother in order to ask Gaby to marry him, She refused. Gaby's real name was Hedy Nevra- til.
