ONE DOLLAR VERSUS FOUR DOLLARS

Fault finding and railing at congress is not a pleasure to any editor. It is a nuisance—it leaves a nasty taste in the”, month. But there are times when railing is not only a virtue, but an absolute necessity if the people" are to be protected from petty thieves and highway robber barons. If there was ever a time in the history of our country when the American people should rise up in their might and demand congressional action that time is right now. Rubber food barons will stick the blood of the consumer just as long as congress dallies #nd slacks and does nothing, and with a few notable exceptions the national law makers will do obsolutely nothing until they are literally kicked to the point of performing their sworn duty. Speed up the kicker!
