PRICE, UTAH FARM Kits AUK BENEFITTING much-neede- cent. "While we have reduced the gap between these two prices in the first six months of the recovery program, we are still a long way from our goal of parity in prices for farmers," says the Howe statement. The consumer is well aware that the increases have been made in cost of products above mentioned. However, the buy- ers can feel that their money is well spent in knowing that by far the greater portion of the increased cost is going to the producer, to the one whose resultant increased buying power should go far toward bringing us out of the channel of depression in which we have found SUIT just filed in Chicago charges Robert W. Stewart, former chairman of the Standard Oil company of Indiana, and 16 other present or former officials of the company with making a "secret profit of six or eight million dollars on g deal at the expense of the stocka holders, and demands an accounting. As a sample of racketeering in business, this ranks high, and it recalls the "Continental jackpot brought to light by a senate committee during the inquiry into the oil scandals. In that case, Robert W. Stewart and three other oil magnates bought a huge quantity of oil at one price, sold it without leaving the room where the deal was made to the companies of which they were officers at an advanced price, and cleared over $3,000,000 on the deal.

That condition exists because of the combination of politicians and racketeers, an arrangement that has long existed under the surface but which has only comparatively recently been brought out into the open. A middle west newspaper points out that bridle paths were built in Chicago at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, one along McCormick boulevard having taken $1,000,000 out of the public treasury. "Culverts and headworks were constructed at fancy prices and then more thousands of dollars spent to tear them out almost before the concrete had set, according to this same publication. And why? Because public officials at modest salaries banked hundreds of thousands of dollars, this much after the fashion of New- - York City. The mayor of Chicago, Edward J. Kelly, is shown up as a tax dodger who paid the govern-- 1 ment $35,000 in penalties for fraud in not reporting income of $450,000 in the years of 1926 to 1928; his political sponsor or boss Patrick A. Nash, is revealed, too, as having paid thousands of dollars in fraud penalties for tax evasion. Thus do we see greed and political machinations deprive children of their rightful educational advantages, society retarded in its progress, men and women school teachers denied just compensation for their labors. What a les-- , son there is in this for all of us that we guard well our public offices and that we choose wisely our public officials in order that we mav avoid the experience that Chicago has had.
