Til 10 Xon-Pariisaii ik-agm . Fanners, comprising the
grangers 'of tin; Dakotas and Minnesota, are prov
ing llieinselvcs as greedy profiteei-s as any big business in
1ho land. ;
For years these same, farmers clamored for llie elimin
ation of speculation from the grain market and state and
federal control of Hie markets. Xo sooner was this dream
an actuality and Hoover named as food controller than
they began a campaign of protest, clamoring for a restor
ation of the old system, under the idea that they would
thereby reap i higher profit.
For many years dollar wheat was the aeine of desire,
and all farmers saw wealth in it. Now the' are protest
ing .tL',20 wheat as insufi'icient price, altho at such a figure
it is causing universal hardship and ensuing industrial
unrest. They are as selfish as any of the war profiteers
.hey denounce.
Professor (J. . Call of the Kansas State College of
Agriculture, has figured out that with the present, high
prices of seed, labor, machinery and fertilizers, and pres
ent prevailing conditions, there is a profit of $1.21 a bushel
on $2 wheat, and if' 1.41 a bushel on $2.20 wheat on the
average! western farm. Speakers at the recent St. Paul
assembly demanded $15 a bushel, showing that these fann
ers want everybody's profit limited except their own, for
they also demanded price fixing for all other commodities
and services not related (o the farm on a scale low enough
to eliminate any war profit.
These fanners want a guarantee from the government
of famine prices for their own products, tree of tax for
excess profits, and to fix prices for everyone else so there
will be no proliis. A fine, patriotic program!
II I CUM O.N I), Cajif., Sept. 23 Two
men were killed here eapy today In
an explosion which tore out the for
ward worka and superstructure of
the Standard Oil tanker J. A. Moffett
as nhe lay at her pier here.
The explosion, according to J. F,
Drooks, superintendent at Richmond
for the Standard Oil company, wan
probably caused oy Ignition of gas
while the men were cleaning the
hold. More than GO, 000 gallons of
oil which had been pumped aboard
escaped destruction.
"It Is one of those things that hap
pen In tho oil business," said Super
intendent lirooks. "I am assured
that the explosion was an accident. It
may have occurred when some one
lit a mntcn."
The town of Ttlchmond was shaken
by the explosion as by a violent earth
quake. Windows were broken and
houses rocked on their foundations,
whilo plaster fell in showers and
dishes rattled.
The men killed were:
Krnest Kuttnr, quartermaster; and
A. It. .luillorat, a sailor.
