| . 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.''

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."
