FOOD SPECULATION
From every hand emno reports that
Americun farmers aro rising to tho oc
casion nud planning the biggest crops
over grown. Everything tho public can
do will bo done to help cultivato and
hcrvest thoHO crops. Patriotism and
self-interest will take cafe of this part
of the program.
There rcni'tins another of etpial im
portance, nnd that is to see that the
food produced on American farms gets
to the right parties without waste and
without extortion.
We believe we violate no rule of fth
ion when wo declare thnt the right
parties nrc the peopla who consume
tills food. The railroads must bnul
much of it from the villages to central
distributing points. Grain must he
ground Into flour nnd meal. , Live stock
must be converted into beef nnd bacon.
Butter and cheese must he made. Po
tatoes must bo kept from fricing. nud
benns must be donned nnd put into
bags or cans. All of these products will
have to be handled in different wnys
and sold to consumers or retailers or ex
ported by proper authorities to our al
lies now fighting our battles in Europe.
In the past wc have tolerated a scan
dalous amount of juggling and ml ah mul
ling of these products. They have been
bought by special agents or buyers: sold
to Jobbers; re-sold to wholesalers; held
In elevntors, cellars and warehouses nnd
sold over and over again. They have
been dumped into the river to force n
shortage and stiffen the price. They
have been shipped bock over the routes
whence they enme. They have been
cormrM by gamblers on 'change. They
have been bought hy local merchants on
the expectation of doubling their money.
They have been hoarded by retailers.
All tlx-se things have been done In
spite of the fact that many of the oper
ations have never added one cent of
value to the articles thus handled while
they added cost to the consumer and
worked a hardship on the producer.
Under the present clrcuinntniices food
speculation is a crime. The farmer
should be guaranteed a good price on
everything he sells and the pirates who
fatten off the sufferings of their fel
lows should be treated as the civilised
world has always treated pirates.
We should encourage co-operative dis
tribution of farm products through an
organization of consumers. The farmer
should get In direct touch with custo
mers whenever possible. Purchases
should be made on a cash basis tin
quantity lots. The most direct connec
tion possible between producer and con
sumer Is the economical plan for this
nation to sdopt. Hither thit or price
regulation. Kllm, nation of unnecessary
middlemen Is but a measure of self-protection.
