"Our income tax could be in
creased without any burden up
on any one at all in America so
! as to produce almost the entire

! could be done without levying
! any unjust burden. The excess
j profits tax could be levied to
furnish as much more without
I any disadvantage whatever to
lanv single individual. It might

would not mean a single particle
of sacrifice or a single bit of the
lessening of the necessities. Why
shonld we not say it should be

In the interest of romance, however,
the name at least must survive. It
signifies nothing more than that the
coin was double the value of a pistole,
but the "doubloon" was never such a

wrirocori1 pi i rps in ennvTCKS that
that body immediately pass laws stuffs is becoming quite appar-
forever prohibiting speculation
or gambling in food stuns and
the proper distribution of such
commodities where they are
needed they would accomplish
more real service to the country
than they are now doing.
The people are becoming awake
to the fact that the present prices
of food is the result of manipula
tion rather than of shortage.
The farmers are courteously but
firmly declining the proffered
aid of cilv school boys to work on
the farms. Americans do not
take kindly to the idea of a semi
starvation diet w hen they know
the warehouses are bursting with
food being held for famine
prices. Iiuying back $1.25 wheat
in the shape of $1:5.(10 flour has a
tendency to make farmers sore.
The time seems ripe for the peo
ple to demand of congress that
that body stop playing pillling
politics and get down to business.
The-country is in a state of war
and thousands of the people are
getting hungry, it is a time of
national stnvs. a crises, which
calls for drastic measures and
yet congress puts in its time
talking, talking, talking, never
stopping the How of language
unless it is to listen to the voice
of the lobby as it makes its de
mand for inaction.
The w ar must be fought out
but, also, the people at home
must lie fed. That, if you please,
must be the object of increased
production, not the fattening of
a bum h id w heat pit gamblers.
' 1 he o'uv of tbo people is the
voice of Cod." Willi the aver
age American congressman, it
may h said, a determined, unit
ed. itnli idnal demand I 'ruin the
voters of the country, jm-t be
fore eh'clion, might have more
ellect than a duect decree from
Omnipotence
It is a plan w oi lb ti ing.
ent. Food speculators w ho coin
dirty dollars out of the hunger
and misery of men and women
and little children do not scruple
at using undue influence in
controlling legislation in their
own interests and they have been J
long enough engaged in the
business to have plenty of sur
plus profits to spend in carrying
out their designs.
Day by day it is becoming more
apparent that there is no real
shortage of food in the country
and that the seeming shortageand
outrageous prices now prevailing
is the result of manipulation.
The common people whose
votes elect the members
of congress have the right to
expect their representatives will,
to some extent at least; look af
ter their interests but in this the
people are too often doomed to
disappointment. The profession
al lobbyist is always on the scene
ready, in divers ways to "influ
ence" legislation in his employ
ers interest. The people have
neither the organization nor the
necessary expense money to fol
low this example but they have
one weapon which if they would
use freely and persistently would,
in a great degree, nullify the in
fluence of the "interests" in con
gress. They can write letters to
their congressmen demanding
that they be given a square deal
Once let the average congress
man discover that his constitu
ents are "keeping cases'' on
him am) that they know what
thev w ant in the way of legisla
tion and he is mighty apt to l e
good. There is a future in poli
tics and the people of today have
a might v club to use on their
public serv ants if they will only
t;ike the trouble to use it. It is
poor policy to send a man to con
gress where he is sure to be ex
posed to all sorts of temptation
to neglect your interests and
