Cel firmly fixed in you,- mind this fact that the Kniled States cannot garner all the real money in the world, issue its own reserve hank currency to the limit, establish a government price foi labor and a government price for staple commodities, pay double for everything it buys with which to run a great war. scatter hard cash hither and yon with no regard for expense, divert a large part of its food products to foreign lands when they are needed at home and in lik • manner deal with many other things that enter into and make up the gen eral economic situation and exnect the Cost of living to be low. With all profiteering, even with all profits eli minated, the cost of living would be high. Cheap money begets extrava gance which, added to the increased cost of the things that cheap money must buy. makes the cost of living I sufficiently a problem without inter - I vention of causes with which economic condit to do.

M \( KVA The Farmer is Again Heard From Through a statement presented by members of the groups representing the employers and the public, the de mands of the farmer were brought tft the attention of the Washington In dustrial < onferenee. They include it the preamble a recital that “The net i eturn for labor, management and capital used in farming is today smal er than the return in any other great industry”; and urge the necessity of p imnn ration which will afford a fair return for invested capital, teedinieji l skill, managerial ability and labor, and “e.iual” social, educatior.al and ( old leal ailvantages. I ntii a few years ago there was revel any doubt that the farmer wa: unde paid His hours were from sun ris. (,) long after sunset. The prices he r< --lived for his products were in adei'iJiile. He htid independence in the souse that he was dependent on no employer; but he was entirely depen dent on a thousand and one eonsidera (,i„ns of weather, markets, and so on. Although the prices he now re reives are high, he complains that they do not compensate him for increased costs. Phis paper pointed out some time ago. in calling attention to the possibility of what would amount to a farmers' strike 1 , that when wheat was I. a bushel would pay his farm hand for a day; hut that 82 2b wheat would bay him only half a day. There m'av be some farmers who are paying off mortgage: and buying automobiles. 1 i I there are more who are not both i 1 ed by the income tax.
