Tomorrow Osceola hosts a Polk County homecoming honoring World War I soldiers who served from the county. The celebration emphasizes joy and gratitude, while noting some may be absent due to other duties or travel. Local families and friends will acclaim the veterans and renew faith in shared principles.
The article argues the Peace Treaty debate yields to domestic concerns as the United States delays action on the treaty to tackle high living costs. It notes profiteering, storage of food stuffs, and looming justice actions as essential steps to curb rising prices and deter criminals.
The Record urges readers to set up shock absorbers and change course to head off a national shock. It notes high prices and seeming money abundance have fostered carelessness and reckless spending across the country.
A State or national editorial warns that inflation and rising prices have pushed the public to pay more for goods while government policy may tighten credit and raise deficits. It argues for prudent finance, tighter money, and wary budgeting to avoid a severe downturn as rail wages and taxes loom. It notes bond issues are unlikely and calls for decisive statesmanship to curb waste. It also surveys congressional census duties and the strain on railroads amid ongoing labor tensions.
The senate seems unlikely to ratify the peace treaty without reservations. It may be defeated or accepted with conditions that could keep Italy France and Japan from signing. Even if ratified partially, a German triumph could emerge, a result Germany alone benefits from.
The Record notes Gov. McKelvie blocked a longer legislature session to tackle high living costs. He justifies the refusal by saying those who voted against the code bill lost their chance for relief. Opinion contrasts the code bill’s $5,000 stipends to six officials with potential costly departmental power and union actions, questioning its impact on prices and how systematization would curb costs. The piece draws parallels to railroad strike dynamics and cites Maregquear strikes as context.
