THE DANGER OF HIGH PRICES.

There is something of a softening of
prices in our basic industry. iron, and
every well-wisher of the country must hope
that 1t will be quickly followed by more
reasonable price basis in all commodities.
High prices are an effect OF prosperity,
not cause. The present scale of prices
has begun to have the usual high-price
consumption of our products, of indefinitely
postponing many projected building opera
lions and Of closing some workshops that
find 1t impracticable to try to make the
price list for their finished product keep
pace with the advanced cost of raw ma
terials, this latter being notably the case
in the cotton textile industry just at pres
ent.
The ideal state of industry is where the
consumer pays for a commodity a price
which means a moderate and legitimate
profit to the producer and dealer over the
cost Of production, transportation and
handling. The workman should have a
livelihood and something In addition for his
labor. The farmer should have a profit for
his investment in land and stock and ma
chinery. The manufacturer. the transpor-
tation company and the merchant should
have a reasonable profit 1t is when the
course of industry is disturbed by the ef-
fort OF somebody along the line to grab
the lions share or of the Spectator to
corner a commodity that trouble arises.
And usually all these disturbing factors
are at work at once. Not merely one, but
everybody along the line. from the laborer
and capitalist of the farm, forest or mine,
where the rawest of raw materials are pro-
duced, on down to the retailer of the last
finished product, is trying to seize the
lions share. and the Spectator In staple
commodities is never at rest.
Unreasonably high prices mean the
checking OF consumption, which, in turn,
means the reduction of working forces,
which means reduction of purchasing pow
err of the people. which means further
checking of consumption. and on. 1t
is hard for people to be wise at sacrifice
There is such a strong temptation to grab
all one can at the moment. But II Is an
open secret that in most lines the present
range of prices Is such as TO make the
consumer do without the high-priced COM
modify as long as he can. or altogether.
This Is always the danger point in any
industry. and 1t is to be hoped that other
lines will follow that of iron and steel
with a gradually lowering scale until a
more correct proportion between. price and
production cost Is reached.

PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's WAY.

A well-informed Washington correspond
ent says that President Roosevelts in
structions to Postmaster General Payne,
done WERE go to the bottom OF every
charge" This recalls President Grants
order when the revelations in regard to
the whisky ring in 1915 were laid before
him. After he had read the statement he
Endorsed on 1t, Let no guilty man es-
cape" The whisky ring was the most ex-
tensive combination to defraud the govern
ment ever known, and resulted in the larg-
est frauds. The frauds now being uncov-
cred in the Postoffice Department are in
significant in comparison. The whisky
ring consisted of distillers and government
OF General Grants own appointees and
personal friends. The frauds covered a
period Of two years and involved nearly
100000. The disclosures implicated over
fifty United States gaugers and store
keepers, and resulted in the seizure of
twenty-foar distilleries and thrty-seven
rectifying houses The investigation of the
frauds was due to the Presidents order,
Let no guilty man escape" A number
of persons were convicted and sent to the
penitentiary. One of these, who had been
a personal friend of General Grant, re-
ceived Communication of sentence on the
representation to the President that he
was not expected to live and that death
was certain II he remained longer in pris-
on. Not long afterwards when General
Grant saw him at Washington alive and
well. he said that had he known when he
committed the sentence what he knew when
he saw the ex-convict he would have al
lowed him to remain where he was, serv-
ing out his term of Imprisonment.
This is somewhat ancient history, but 1t
serves to note the resemblance between
Grants Let no guilty man escape and
President Roosevelts Go to the bottom
of every charge" None of the officials
implicated in the Postoffice Department
frauds is an appointee of President Roose-
welt, though 1t would not make any diff
ference if he were. All of them were ap-
pointed under former administrations.
There has been no reason to doubt the,
thoroughness of the investigation con-
Quoted by Postmaster General Payne, but
the Presidents order will give him a new
motive for going to the bottom Of every
charge. The order is characteristic of the
President. and shows his fearlessness in
the discharge of public duty.

members Of the board interested at once

and, instead of any attempt to smother it.
the city authorities have aggressively

Will quickly note the difference between
this way OF pursuing an investigation In

ton in any public matter. The lay prohib-
its the doing or that thing. and IL II is
done the law presumes and supplies cor
rupt intent. 1t says in effect that the cor
rupt act cannot be done without corrupt

act can be done with an honest intent. II
Logsdon had closed with Stahl and accept
ed his offer Of money. or even If he had
closed with him without receiving the
money he would have been proclaimed
corruptionist and boodler, and rightly.
But his acceptance OF the offer would not
have been any more corrupt than was
Stahls making it. The law does not allow
a man TO escape the consequences Of vio-
lation of law and of doing a criminal act
by saying that he didn't know it was
criminal or that he did 1t with a good
motive.

All reports from the Philippines indicate
that the new currency law is operating
satisfactorily in the archipelago. Briefly
speaking, what we have done in the Phil
ippines is to establish the gold standard,
using the silver peso as a token coin with
an arbitrary exchange value. which Is an
other phrase for gold value. And China
and Mexico, in whose behalf the Interna-
tional Monetary Commission is endeavoring
to get the principal European governments
to agree upon a ratio for exchange, will
find in the end that this is the only basis
on which their finances can be success
fully reorganized. Any arbitrary ratio Of
exchange that may be agreed to must be
maintained by the government issuing

THE GROWTH OF TRANSPORTATION
FACILITIES.

The rapid development of transportation
facilities in recent years. and now going on,
Is one Of the marvels Of the age. Forty
years ago there were only $685. miles of
steam railroad in the United States; now
there are 1855. Forty years ago Indiana
had 2,196 miles of steam railroad; now she
has $500 miles, and nearly 800 miles of COM
pleted interurban electric railways. There
are many persons living who can remember
when there was no railroad connection be-
tween Indianapolis and Cincinnati. Some
of these persons have driven hogs and cat
tie from central Indiana to Cincinnati to
market them, and others have hauled goods
from Cincinnati to Indianapolis over roads
worse than any to be found nowadays. The
wagons that rolled over the roads were
huge. numbering, covered vehicles drawn by
three or four horses. guided by a driver
mounted on one of the horses and using
ten-feet line of bride leather fastened to the
bit of the near leader. Regular caravans
of these wagons traversed the roads from
here to Madison or to Cincinnati. Hog drv
ing was distinct occupation in those days,
and continued to be till railroads came in.
1t was long and toisome trip to Cincin-
natl, and sometimes the drove was followed
by wagons to pick UP the lame and ex-
hausted animals-hog ambulances. Horses
were also driven from here TO Cincinnati to
find a market, while now horse buyers
come here from all parts of the country.
The development of transportation has
worked wonderful changes. The old Indian
apolis Cincinnati Railroad, now part of
the Big Four system, was opened in 1853,
and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
road later. These filled long-felt want and
had a monopoly of travel for many years,
but they will not have much longer, as both
will be practically paralleled by electric
lines. A contract for the construction of the
Indianapolis & Cincinnati traction line
from this city to Cincinnati by way Of
Rushville. Connersville and Oxford. O., is
about ready to be signed. and work on the
road will be commenced in less than a
month. The entire line will be constructed
for double-track system and the road will
be completed and opened in about year.
Thus, within a period considerably shorter
than many human lives the transportation
facilities between Indianapolis and Cincin-
natl will have advanced from mud roads to
two steam railroads and two electric rail-
ways. Even these multiplied facilities will
not exceed the growing demands of the pub
lie for transportation, and they will con-
tribute in an ever-increasing degree to the
