The greatest crime in the history of our country is that of profiteering, wholesale and deliberate robbery of a helpless public. Prices have been artifically forced to such a high altitude that it is becomingly more and more difficult for a poor person to even sustain life. The law of supply and demand no longer prevails. It has been substituted sub-stituted by one of gouge and grab. Already many people, men and women of sound and patriotic nrin-cipl, nrin-cipl, , are predicting serious steps as a means of checking this whole;; le and lawless thievery. Our govenment should take naming nam-ing while there is yet time. Protec tion of profiteering should cease ar once, and prosecution liouM ! swift and relentless. We can not aftonl to haw our great country wrecked up in )-o rock of greed and avarice. And yet today, because of the supine inactivity of our public oMiciaU. we are heading strav,'ht toward d.'-lrjc-tion. Public endurance is at the breaking break-ing point. The government should heed tin-Impending tin-Impending storm, before it is ton la:e to prepare to meet it. |
