one man is permitted to penalize an entire nation and then to ignore the right of the people’s Assembly to question his conduct, calls for a Show; down. And so we would like to know what our representatives are going to do about it. If they are helpless because they are incompetent. we want tn know that. If our form of government is going to permit creation of an autocrat. it doesn't help us any to say We are a democracy. Words won’t avail much when the nation is compelled to meet a tax of $900,000,000 to go into some one’s pocket. It is about time Congress stopped “investigating" and started impeaching According to Congressman Tinkham, Attorney General Palmer is personally responsible for making it possible to add from seven hundred to nine hundred million dollars to the annual cost of living. The Con- gressman charges that “the conduct of the Attorney General can be and should be investigated at once in regard to his indefensible action in relation to the question of price fixing." He also declares that this price was fixed through the Louisiana producers at 17 and 18 cents whole- sale. sugar selling at 11 and 12 cents retail at the time. The efl'ect of this agreement, according to this authority, was to 1 cause the Cuban dealers to raise the price from 6%; to 11% cents a pound. The report further represents ~that the Attorney General has given Con- gress evasive answers when questioned on these matters. If thse facts are true. it indicates either a complete breakdown in our form of representative government. or it'shoWs that the America people have been dogged so long mt they have lost their spirit. That Sugar is an indispensable food. A few months ago the price was twelve cents. and merchants doled it out, a pound at a time. Today there is ap- parently no limit to the amount but the price is twenty-two cents a pound. This looks like a case either of the grossest profiteerine. or a reversal of the natural law of supply and demand. " Oak Park and Evanston are residential suburbs. They have nothing in common with Chicago. and it is revolting for them to contemplate a government dominated by men like Hinkey Dink and Bath House John. On the other hand, Chicago must grow, and small municipalities must be assimilated within its boundaries. The problem is one of great difficulty. (‘hicago is paying a majority of state taxes with a representation of barely 40 per cent in the State Legislature. The tail is wagging the dog at the same time considerations of vast importance demand that Chiâ€" cago be tree to act as a metropolitan city. not as a New England town. governed b\y lawa made at Springfield. ' ’ ' All this means an extension of the suburban frontiers in the distance which fortunately separates Chicago from towns. bringing those towns. however, nearer to the m which has absorbed so many of its kind. ()l'R CONSTITL'TIONA l. DESTIN Y The north shore towns may well be concerned with the contemplated action of the Constitutional Convention in proposing the autonomy of Chicago. For years the cities of Oak Park and Evanston have resisted the municipal encroachments of Chicago, but a Constitution. making all of Cook County an autonomous government, nominally 11 part of Illinois, can forever override the will of individual communities and incorporate them within the newly organized metropolis. We luuk upon the large striving organizations of the town and wonder that they do not pool their interests.~~that they do not say. “here you are a mason, you lay the foundation for this building. You are a carâ€" penter. you can erect this edifice as it should be." and so on throughout the whole process of construction until a noble structure stands firm and strong and ready {or use. But no. At present, we build separately. We duplicate and triplicate one another's dwelling. We build along par allel lines. forgetting that only in theory do those lines meet in infinity. At last we have lived our lives. and those deep lines we traced have never converged. - nioLn-ulnusly divided into departments. skillful of plan. efficient of exe‘ rution.
