Truths Pondered While

"Then gently scan
your brother man"—
-By Mr. Modestus-
Inflation—
Blowing bubbles—
Something that won't last—
But playing with vital forces, cost
of eating and living—
It is inflation, when we talk about
consumers' prices—
But for the fellow who boosts the
price, it is profiteering—
It does nobody any good, except guys
who get theirs, and then get out—
For inflation is an endless chain—
It meets you coming around the cor
ner, where you left it—
It is will-o-the-wisp igniis fatuous,
snare and delusion—
Somebody starts it» makes every
body play his game—
For a while.
Measure of inflation—
For most of us, is finding out what
our money is worth—
Two-bits, used to get us 5 pounds

THE WORST IS YET TO COME-
HM
Suddenly, two-bits is worth only
pounds of sugar—
What happened to that other
pounds of sugar?
Who got that sugar?
And that is the problem of i
flation—
There's lots of sugar in the world—
At least in Cuba, Florida, Louisi
ana, and Idaho-
Some devilish thing keeps these
sugar bowls from running over—
What they call a "quota": which
stops sugar makers—
They never were allowed to make
enough sugar—
Nor to sell it at a price which would
market all of it—
Somewhere, sometime, some banks
put a lot of money in sugar lands—
They say it was mostly in Cuba but
some of it was in Idaho—
To get back their "investments," in
lands, machinery, and bribes—
That sugar had to sell in these
United States, at certain prices—
So they put a tariff on that sugar:
protective" tariff—
Protecting bankers' investments—
But tariff was not enough for
American sugar growers—
Could also make nice lots of money
at the tariff-built price—
So, to keep American sugar from
committing suicide—
By cutting price of sugar on the
market—
Somebody brought along a big club,,
called "quota"—
Telling every fellow how much
sugar he could make, and sell-—

LEADING HAMILTON CONCERNS WHO SOLICIT THE CO-OPERATION OF ORGANIZED LABOR AND THEIR FRIENDS
That was long before the days of
"little pigs"—
Is this inflation?
Well, it blew bubbles in the sugar
prices—
Only, it was by the ship-loads, not
little paper bags—
Once in a while a tie-string would
break, somewhere—
And housewives could get plenty of
cheap sugar, for a few days—
But that quota python soon got its
coils going again—
And your money wasn't worth so
much in sugar, any more—
In war times, inflation comes—
Without benefit of tariff, some
times—
Blows bubbles in meat, flour, canned
goods, cotton, copper—
Just now, farmers are getting
blamed for starting it-
Others say it is labor unions, get
ting big rake-offs—
But it is just the same old merry
go-round—
With everybody raising his price,
so he can buy what others sell—
Unless Mister Henderson happens to
be looking their way—
The "higgle of market" gets the

jitters, goes crazy—
Until something happens to knock
the bottom out of things—
Then, you get the opposite, and

When the fatal circle is broken—
They call it "Deflation"—
And it is all dam-foolishness.
RAIL UNIONS ASK
SEIZURE OF ROAD
Washington, D. C. (ILNS). —Two
railroad brotherhoods have asked that
the government take over the Toledo,
Peora & Western Railroad, whose em
ployes have been on strike since De
cember 28. The request was sent to
President Roosevelt, who said he had
referred it to the appropriate govern
ment officials for a recommendation.
About 100 engineers, firemen and
trainmen quit work on the 239-mile
line in protest against a new set of
working rules which they charged
ignored certain seniority rights and
tended to reduce wages. The com
pany argued wages would be in
creased. All efforts to mediate the
dispute have been unsuccessful.

port of the National Labor Relations
Board stated that during last year it
closed 4,698 unfair labor practice cases
involving more than 1,200,000 workers.
The report also set forth that 502
company unions were disestablished

instated "to remedy discriminatory
discharge" 5,181 discharged workers

Sharecroppers' Union Asks
For Abolition Of Poll Tax
Birmingham, Ala. (ILNS).—Strong
opposition to the poll tax as a pre
requisite to voting was expressed by
the eighth annual convention of the
Southern Tenant Farmers' Union,
meeting in Sheffield, Ala. The con
vention of negro and white sharecrop
pers, tenants and day laborers from
six million whites and four million
negroes disfranchised by this tax,
adopted a resolution declaring that
this "pernicious hindrance to the right
of franchise in eight Southern states,
representing one-fifth of the popula
tion of the United States, has resulted
in the states involved casting only 6
per cent of the total vote in the last
national election."
