EXPLAINS HIS
CRISIS THEORY
Yale Professor Places Limit
at Six Years.
GOES BACK IN HISTORY

Irving Fisher Says Meat Boycott Is
Curious Incident Of Situation That
viii Result In Great Industrial
Panlc--Should Come Sooner After
upheaval Of 1907 Than Depression
Of 1866 Did After Period OF Rising
Prices of 1857.
New Haven, Conn, Feb. 7.--Profes
sor Irving Fisher, who told his class
In Yale the past week that the coun-
try was facing an industrial crisis
and that the chief cause for the pres
ent rise In prices was the increase
of gold, is out with another state
ment. He says:
"One of the curious incidents of the
situation is the meat boycott; espe-
cially as meat. though the most ex-
pensive and perhaps one of the least
wholesome parts of our diet. has not
risen as far as other prices. The
temporary going without meat will,
of course, effect no permanent drop
In prices. But 1t will not be surprls-
Ing If those who now find II so hard
to give meat up should conclude--as
have so many people already-that
abstinence from II leaves them better
on, or at any rate that they are bet
ter off without as much meat as
Americans ordinarily use. In other
words, an incidental consequence of
the rise in prices may be perma-
nent reduction in the quantity OF
meat consumed.
"The statistics of the department OF
agriculture do in fact show that there
has been falling off in the consump-
ton of meat for years. Mr.. Wiley is
quoted as saying that this will result
In making 'mollycoddles' of us. But
no such danger seems likely. II is
true a sudden or complete abstinence
Is often hurtful. But a reduction in
its use and substitution Of cheese,
nuts, peas and beans, milk and eggs,
II they can be afforded, have been
found greatly to improve health as
well as decrease the cost of living.
I'VE are now in just such a period
or rising prices as was experienced
after 1857. We have every reason to
expect another crisis such as that OF
1866. This will be the elimination OF
the present rise In prices. Paradox.
ically the more clearly this is seen
today the less likely II is to happen,
or at least the less violent it will be
when 1t comes.
mo fixed date can be assigned, but
judging from the rapid rate at which
the storm is brewing the crisis may
be expected sooner after 1870, than
the crisis Of 1866 was after 1857, that
is, less than nine years. While Il
should not be surprising should the
crisis occur in 1918, It is also true
that there is so much more intelli-
gence today OF economic matters that
business men will trim their sails to
meet It,"

Representative Freiner OF Two.Cent
Fare Fame viii Go After Pay Tele.

ment For Service Not Rendered.
Has Other Reforms For Wire Ser.
Vice In Mind, but viii Not Spring
Them Until Later Date.
Columbus, o., Feb. 7.-Representa-
tive Grlnnell of Portage county has
prepared q direct inheritance taxation
measure which he will introduce at
today's session Of the house. II is EN-
tirely different from the Rathburn
and Phare bills, which are already be-
fore the senate. Mr.. Grinnell's meas
ure will have an exemption of $4,000
but will provide a sliding scale of tax
alton upon the amount of the bequest,
the levy increasing in ratio with the
size of the inheritance. In this the
New York principle will be followed.
In that state the rate for direct inher-
itahce Is per cent and a maximum
OF per cent on collateral Inherit
ances. These laws produced over
IS 900, 900 in 1908.
Senator Rathburns bill makes the
exemption $4,000 for each inheritor
and fixes tax rate of per cent on
the remainder of the bequest. Senator
N .xf IN m a II
the exemption $4,000 and levy a fiat
rate OF 1 per cent.
II Is the general prediction here
that an inheritance tax will be lev
led, as II has been recommended by
Governor Harmon, by the, special
committee on taxation of the senate,
by the state board OF commerce and
by many other organizations.
Telephone reforms are aimed at In
the bill which Representative John
r. Freiner of Vinton county has ready
for the house hopper. Mr. Freiner Is
the man who is responsible for the
2-cent mile railroad measure and now
he is after the pay telephone station.
Mr.. Freiner declares that since the
public telephones have multiplied the
filching of scent pieces has outrun
their numbers. 1t Is a common occur
renee for man to call another sta
ton, and find that he has been given
the wrong place. His word Is seldom
accepted by the operator and he Is
forced to pay again. Another evil is
the refusal OF the telephone officials
to secure the person wanted upon a
local call. They simply give the de-
sired number, and II the person want
ed is not there the telephone user is
out the cents which he was forced
to drop into the slot. This is not the
case when long distance call Is
made. The Vinton county statesman
points to still another evil.
The telephone exchange is founded
upon mutual subscription and the
more stations the more valuable II
becomes. not only to the user but to
the company. Under the pay station
principle a subscriber might he pay
ing for dozen wires and yet II he
was In a different section of the city
and wanted to talk to his own home

forced to produce another nickel.
fashion, he says, but for the present
he will content himself with providing
q penalty for taking citizens nickel
and not giving him the connection
asked for.

Strike Is Lonq Way or.

Indianapolis. Ind, Feb. 1.-THE Off.
GERS of the United Mine Workers, who
returned to this city from the Toledo
conference, do not apprehend a strike
because of the failure to reach a
wage agreement with the operators,
and 1t is regarded as certain that no
strike will result until late In the
fall. The convention here adopted a
resolution which requires the miners
to remain at work pending a settle.
ment Of the wage question and other
demands made on the operators, and
1t Is said that this resolution was In
accord with the policy of President
Lewis not to have strike at time
when the operators would be practi.
cally independent of their employees.
