If you are a farmer, and keep hens, you get all you can for
your eggs. .
If the price goes up in cold weather, you accept the increase.
If the city man who does not know much is willing to pay
twice the local price, you let him pay it—unless 'you happen to be
a saint.
Coal companies take all they can get for their coal, steel com.
panies take all that they can get for steel, newspapers take all
that they can get for advertising, the individual hired for a sal.
ary takes all he can get for services, and the Standard Oil and
the so-called ‘‘lndependents,’”’ which have their price list made
in the Standard Oil office, take all that they can get for their gas
oline.
There is no sense or use in moralizing about it.
You think that Mr. Rockefeller is rich enough because he has
a thousand million dollars. Your employee thinks you are a
great deal too rich because you have one million dollars. You
want more money perhaps. Perhaps Mr. Rockefeller does also.
He uses his money wisely and in a public spirited way after
he gets it, and like you he is within his legal rights in getting
more if he gets it legally. Argument is foolish.
At the same time, while the public has no right to blame any
man for getting what he can where no criminal conspiracy is in.
volved, the public has a perfect right to combine UNDER GOV.
ERNMENT OWNERSHIP and get things cheaper for itself if it

The solution of the gasoline problem, which is a great and
national problem, will be found only in Government ownership—

The only trouble from now on,
therefore, will be with “bootleg
gers.” or a class of dealers who
are willing to run the risk of one
or two arrests—and for whom a
chalngang sentence, at the very
outset, will be a proper answer
and a sufficient remedy.
Lat there be no mistake, Geor
gia has “gone dry"—except for
such limited shipments as are
permitted under the law. And,
what's more—Georgia is going to
stay dry. Public sentiment has,
at last, come to a full approval of
such a program-—and that setties
