A Pubtie Petition,
Editors of the Reporter:
To President Wilson and the Na-
tional Corgress : The people of the ne-
tion realize that cur great president ie
burdened with problema of stale.
They also realize that be ies doing bie
utmost to hold the republic in a firm
grasp and to prevent war and disaster.
But millions of citizens are in dire
need and distress for the want of
daily food, and pray tbat speedy re-
lief may be given them by the law-
making forces of the nation who have
direct power to come to their rescue.
There is a corrupt practice in vogue
among certain clasees whereby cereals,
fruit and vegetables are, for a certain
price paid by wholesale purchasers,
pot harvested and marketed, but al-
lowed to rot, Persons involved in
gach drastic acta on either side of a
deal should be severely punished.
Both bribers and the bribed should be
heavily fined and Imprisoned.
There is a corrupt practice in vogue
between numerous commission mer-
chants and railways whereby produce
is allowed to be shipped, but not de-
livered, in order that the markets can
be held in a starved condition, that
the merchant will be able to charge
the consumer exorbitant pricee.
Hundreds of millions of bushels of
vegetables are so held in check during
certain times of the year until the
food rots or is dumped, all done to
prevent delivery. Every culprit en-
gaged in such damnable work should
be prevented from doing business or
heavily fined and imprisoned.
There is a corrupt practice in vogue
whereby a great quanity of food prod-
acts is stored for long periods in order
to force up prices. A pation that al-
lows such conditions is untrue to its
people. Mandates should speedily he
enacted to prevent storsge of food
longer then frcm thirty to fifty days.
Any person violating euch a law,
once it is epscted, should have his
stock confiscated and be severely fined
snd imprisoned.
A pation that does not foster and
protect its people againet the greedy
who conspire tn rob them, is a failure,
Ten millions of cur people are now at
the point of starvation. Twenty mil
lion of more are in dire need of food
and can not get it owing to greed and
high prices, The time is at hand
when, as 8 matter of self-respect, our
government should come to our res-
cue to prevent further suffering.

Rev. 3. W. Meclinay, who is well
known in Penns Valley, two years.
This year there were two applications
for liquor licenses filed—one for whole-
sale and the otheror retail.
With a zael that is characteristic of
the temperance forces there these ap-
plications were attacked at once, The
W. (. T. U., which numbers sixty-five
members, is a live adjupet to the
town. The churches have organized a
“ No-Licenze League,” withan spnus]
membership fee of fifty cents. This
organization bas a membership of
pesatly two hundred men and womer.
In this manner the finances are pro-
vided for, together with the publie
collections, taken at stated meetings
which are held monthly.
Every pastor and every church is in
the thick of the fight in an attsck
