One event concerns the grand jurv report eoiidemnin the business laxity in the state treasurer's office, another concerns Mr. J loover s telegram to Senator Capper of Kan sas regarding the sugar situation. The grand jury report showed that inefficiency in pub Jic ottice may be just as harmful as rai as the peopl are concerned, as dishonestv. As we predicted some month ago, there was no evidence of dishonesty on the part of htate J reasurcr ilotr, hut the lailure to exercise good bust ness judgment, in reality gave thousands of (lollais to a private banking concern, winch belonged to the people o the state. Unfortunately there is nothing dramatic in the di closures. If an equal loss had been sustained through mal faesance in office, the people would have been aroused to lighting pitch, hut .as long as the sacrifice was caused by mere inelhciency, the incident promises to be passed ovei with barely a ripple on the surface ol public opinion. So with the sugar situation. On Saturday, Mr. Hoover sent a telegram to Senator Capper of which the following is a part: "The present sugar position Is duo simply to bad business administra tion. Last September the administration could have bought the Cuban sugar crop at six and one-halt cents a pound, for raw sugar. This would bavo given twelve cent sugar to our consumers. As the result of failure to act wo aro subject to unparalleled speculation and profiteering. The increase in price Is Imposing an additional tax on our people of about $ ;u per fumlly per annum. , Every family in the United States is burdened with a tax of $50 because sound business judgment was not exei- cised by the administration. In other words, an annua billion dollar tribute is being paid bv the people of the United States for the privelege of indifference to business qualifications in the selection of their public officials. . How long such sacrifices must be endured before th American people are aroused to the imperative necessity of demanding the same qualifications in public as in private business, is a question, which probably the future alone can tell. Hut if the awakening does not come this year, it must conic, eventually, if democratic government . is to endure. There is no more reason for electing a man to public of fice because he has the gift of gab, because he can stir tlf: emotions with eloquence, appeal to the passions and preju dices, the holies and aspirations with words, than there is lor placing a man at the head of a steel corporation or a railroad because he can sing .1.

There are tricks in the political game as in other greater and lesser affairs. One recently proposed in the Oregon primary presidential campaign has been exposed and thwarted. That was that voters combine on Lowden, Wood or Hoover and thereby defeat Johnson. The pos sibility of adopting this plan was promptly and strongly rciected bv the managers of the various candidates in volved, and, so far as Lowden is concerned, the. reasons why be is still and will remain in the race are clearly set forth in a statement by Joseph 10.

It is unite natural to suppose that men are human, ami unit tnev menu to be conscientious ill this mill tor. even those who pass iroods over the counter, ul over 100 per cent profit. hut there must he a stopping point some where and 1 am one who is in favor of having a hearing for those who mo guilty of the profiteer,!! game. l'ermit me to bring to light one or two instances where profiteering if-, being carried on. I will show the dif ference between what the farmer gets lor his grain and what it finullv rc- with- tails for out of the grocery stores. 1 want to show the part of tho public who live in the cities an example so I hey w.ll not condemn the fanner altogether for the present high eot of living. We can tako the article of I'ult'cd Wheat, which can be purchas ed at any grocery store. The print ing on the outside of the box informs us that the contents of tne package weigh exactly four ounces net. This package of breakfast food retails at fifteen cents a package, which is a trifle less than four cents an ounce. Four ounces to the package means that four packages will weigh one pound, therefore at this rate it will be seen that lit) pounds of this puffed wheat will make 240 packages, sell ing at l.j cents each. This article will retail at .iust $.'lti, per sixty pound Hie tanner got a government guar anteed price of $'2.20 per bushel in nicago lor this same wheat. So it is easy lo catch a glimpse or some hideous profiteering in this article of food. Take another one of the com mon breakfast foods. Krinkle Corn flakes. It says on the wrapper that the net contents weigh eight ounces, and as there is sixteen ounces ordi narily in n pound, it will be seen that 00 pounds of this article will make 120 packages, which sell for fifteen cents each, making a total of $18 per 00 pounds. The fanner got not to exceed $1.80 per bushel, delivered last fail, for this same corn. Just a word on the sugar ouestion. 1 read from good authority that the producers of raw sugar on the island of Cuba rectived three cents a pound tor their last year's crop, at the re finery. Does this justify twenty-cent sugar? The country at large is trvins to think up some scheme to lower the high cost of living, hut our men of prominence nre trying to remedy the evil, by more production of food stuff. They want the farmer to raw the very maximum of food, so that there will tend to be an over-production. Then in order to sell his pro duce, he will, have to sell for le money than it cost him to raise theai. under the present high standard of prices, which he must pay in order to carry on bis present line of farm ing. All told, it iust means that the business world is looking for the farmer to be the first class of people to .sacrifice; themselves voluntarily and step down to a lower level, so thrt the rest of the people might live in a state of elegance. The remedy is easily found t' handle this peculiar situation. All that is rciniired is for the congre to pass a law that will prohibit the manufacturers and dealers, each, from charging over ten per cent profit on any commodity. We hold the banks to ten per cent, why treat the merchants hotter than the banks? Two of our prominent men, Mr. Capper and Mir. Iiryan are very out spoken against the profiteering class. These men suv there is evidence of wholesale robbery 1V the profiteering lass, and those who hnve rend Mr. Capper's speeches and editorials against this evil would do well to re member, that the facts he presents are undeniable. If I can say a word that will tend to arouse the people so thev will take action and help the-ie wo men in their fight for the adjust ment of prices, to a just and equal iroportion, so a man will secure benefit from society, equal to the amount of work which he has given to society: then I will consider the ffort worth while. Governments should protect nil classes of society fro minjustice, do not let the strong persecute the weak, but work for the ommon welfare. There is n moral to this whole ques tion, nnd to tlioso that are guilty 1 have this message for them. It is not just, it is not right, and it might be wise to say here that no man who reduces nothing, but lives by manip ulating that which another produces. moral. Furthermore, those who blast the hopes of the struggling masses who toil upon tho soil, just to satisfy their lust for gold, are in air way of undermining this civili zation.
