Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 May 1910 — BUT THE LITTLE FISH WILL BITE. [ARTICLE]

BUT THE LITTLE FISH WILL BITE.

If there were no boards of trade for the millionaire operators to work with, which are the greatest gambling concerns in the world, and no cold storage places, the question of high living would be solved. The authorities are . always after little gamblers who work in a small way with racing, playing poker, marbles, etc., but the greatest gambling of all, that ruins more people than all the balance combined is legalized, and is a menace to the world. Boards of Trade defy the law, where the big fish eat the little ones with impunity, and they have the privilege to make the prices on everything the poor people eat, and only have to crack their whip to shut off any or all supplies. Mr. Patten deserves quarters in a government prison. Crown Point Star (Rep).
