I PROFITEERING IS f W HOTLY DENOUNCED ^ Little If Anything Done by the Administration to Check the Ravages i cf Leeches. | . Washington. May IS. Profiteering I was denounced t the* senate L by Senator Walsh. Iirociat, Mas? aohUSCUS. WtH> : wu Liuti I'AiinHj tions of profiteers arc the principal HK cause of widespread unrest and that confess has been "culpably inactive" H^Bin moving to relieve the situation. Senator Walsh cited many large dividends, including stock dividends* I paid recently by big corporations, and i declared the public outcries against r the high cost of living were an acute , political problem. , "Republican leadership and the ma- j jority in congress are responsible for( lailure to enact anti-profiteering leg-; /\ vAnn ISiai/iUII. A IIC l u cm UIW) , 'cannot shift the responsibility to the president or department heads/ j Among* recommendations made by | Senator Walsh to check profiteering | ^ere: Senatorial investigation of ink come tax returns to disclose individF ual profiteers; passage of several pending bills, including the packerregulation measure; the McNary bill to stamp cost prices on shoes; the cold storage regulation bill, and others. "I further recommend.*' said Senatnv \V?Uh. "that eonirross nromptlv inaugurate public trading on a large scale unless exorbitant profits are voluntarily arid materially reduced at once. In other words. 1 recommend jvvernment competition as an available remedy." Although the p2C;.le nvre resigned to high prices during the war, Senator Walsh sail!, they now demand relief from "scandalous profit makirfg." Conditions have grown worse, he said, "and it seems that a band of robbers infest the land. Combines ai d tru.-ts, by lactic, ii" not actual agreement, hold their products for constantly increasing gain and ruth-! jessly exploit the buyers. The government, outside of a few weak and insignificant threats, has not even iiitempted a so!utio:v* ' An-onu* the instances of corporation profits citcd by Ser.ator Walsh were those of the ' hi." live" packers, reported by the n 1 trade commission, the American Woolen company ana several rent:Ie mills, st^el companies, coal operators and newsp ri nt man u fa c* t u rei ?. Discussing whether the Republi can and Democratic parties are to fail the people, Mr. Walsh asked: '"Shall they be forced to enroll in the socialist party cr to organize a third party which shall oner a candidate whose public rccord typifies opposition to profiteering and a platform which promises specific measures of relief.'' J Advanced in Rating. Mrs. G. P. Hill has received, under date of May 17, from Lieut. E. W. Sneppard 01 the L". S. Naval Trainingstation at Great Lakes, ill., a letter in which he says: "Your son, Frank Pierce Hill, having successfully completed the course of instruction in the Aviation Mechanics school at this station, has been ivanced in rating to machinist's mate second class, aviation U. S. navy, and is available for transfer to naval air station, San Diego, California. It is requested that you write to this young.man ami compliment him upon his success, as the schooling which he'has received has caused him many hours study , and hard woyk. Give this boy a boost; let him know you hr.v:- h: welfare at heart, and give him all the _ encouragement possible in order that he mav enter upon his new work fully determined .to make good." The Herald and News is pleased to quote the above letter and to cdmpli-; ment Frank Hill upon his success.! We know that it takes many hours of study and hard work to be advanced in the navy, and when a young lad "'makes good" it is very gratifying to "the folks at home." Living or dy-; ing, it is glorious to serve one's country in war or peace. We know how. the parents feel, and that the mother,: especially, will "keep the horn- fires, burning," and "the light in the win-! " Vir?Tvncr and waiting? for her *>* ..f, Jboy. We are glad to quote, also, the ? closing paragraph of Lieutenant Sheppard's letter, as follows: "The U. S. naval service offers unlimited \ possibilities in every line of endeavor and it is desired to give all men full, advantage of same. Therefore the' support, cooperation and encourage- j ment of men in this service by par-; ents and those closely related is earnestly solicited in order that we may continue to develop a type of manhood second to none?the Ameri can sailor." We endorse -that sentiment: "A type of manhood second to none? the American sailor." Persona! Mention From Clinton. Chronicle, 20th. Mrs. T. C. Sumorel and Miss Sumerel spent Wednesday in New9 berry.
