ECONOMICS.

How to prevent high prices for the commodities of life is no simple prob lem The commercial theory that sup ply and demand alone are accountable for the high price of meats, eggs and milk, does not appear to satisfy the consumers and there is no reason why it should. when the Milk trust. with a 22 per cent dividend made from g. cent milk. proceeds to push the price in the large cities up to g cents a quart There are other evidences to promote incredulity in other commod- ities not so dissimilar from this.
 It is now proposed by the National Antitrust league to just cure these extortionate prices by lessening the demand, by boycotting necessaries which are too high in price to ex- cite cheerful acluiescence; and by rayiRg 25 cents a year (the consumer 1s taxed at every turn) to the league, the members are in line to be instruct cd what not to est-what not to buy. Tn ether words, lessen the demand in one direction and increase it in an other A philosopher, cogitating up- on this proposition, says. Let us suppose that eggs are twice as high in price as the authorities of the league consider just. Then the leaguers will be told to stop eating eggs The individual leaguer will buy 'beefsteak at twice the cost of the eggs, and when steak gets too high by reason of the increased con- sumption the poor consumer will be driven to sausage, and ultimately by a process of elimination to the hay stack

NOT THE ENEMY OF TRUSTS.

President Taft takes the Roosevelt tian view of trusts. He is not enemy of trusts, but he is q friend of the people and recognizes no power which backed by greed would extort from the people more than a. fair profit for goods of any kind. He has no fight with legitimate business but he does stand in the way of an abuse of power by any money combination in this broad land. He believes that the law Is for the rich as well as the poor and that it is the duty of the government to see that the law is respected He recognizes that back of oppressive trusts are bad citizens and often scoundrels who would rob the people. and 1t is these wrong doers he is determined if possible to have a law to regulate He believes in a national incorporation for the great est concerns because mo other method can be suggested which offers federal protection the one hand and fed eraI supervision on the other of these great organizations that are, in fact federal, because they are as wide as the country and are entirely unlimited in their reference to state lines" Furthermore, he is of the opinion that only the largest corporations would avail themselves of such a law, be- supervision and control would not be accepted by ordinary business con- cerns.
 The president recognizes the difi- culties in the way, but he points out the way with masterly skill as the truest and best for all concerned.
 He will meet with strenuous opposi- tion because the states do not wish to lose the revenue from these incor- porated trusts. and the trusts for their own purposes prefer the old way.

Ths Limitations of the Moneyed.

The Limitations of the Moneyed.
 The case of Charles w. Morse is an illustration of the egotism of money. The convicted wild financier is unalter- al ply convinced that as a man of wealth he should he exempt from the punish ment provided for the ordinary crimi- nal. He believes he is a martyr, the victim of a conspiracy. since all his millions. all his attempts to gain shelt- CT behind technicalities, all his declar- a.tions that he but followed the com mon practice of bankers, avail him nothing.
 Wealth had very much it's own way in this country for many years. Men with money began to think themselves as a class chosen to carry out the will of providence. Everyone will recall the assertion of George F. Baer, presi- dent of the Reading company, to the effect that he was a trustee of the Lords. There is no question that John D. Rockefeller looks upon himself in something of the same light A millionaire who had given false testi rnony at a public hearing which he corrected later when under oath in court defended himself by saying, We aristocrats have got to stick together"
 That many of the rich believe they are divine agents, 'aristocrats," or the natural governing class. is probably a pathological manifestation. an egotism

ADJOURNED
FOR ONE WEEK

Washington, Feb. Am ad-
journment until one week from to-
day was taken at the request OF
Secretary Ballinger when the con-
gressional investigation into his de-
partment was resumed here this
morning after postponement from
last Monday.
The secretary said that in view of
the fact that the committee had re-
quested him to employ counsel to
cross-examine witnesses and relieve
the committee of this labor, he
would ask for weeks time in
which to employ attorneys.
In statement to the United
Press Ballinger says that he has nj
ready chosen his counsel but that
he was not ready to reveal this iden-
tity.
The brief open meeting of the
committee today was marked by Bit
ter remarks by Attorney Brandeis,
who represents i. r. CLAWS, and
who unsparingly criticized the de-
lay of the interior department in
producing certain letters and docu-
ments for which he asked a week
ago.
The secretary OF the committee
read two letters, one from Chairman
Nelson, suggesting that Ballinger
employ counsel, and the other from
Ballinger stating that he desired
that the committee should not be
hampered, and that 1t was only be-
cause full investigation was not
being secured that he had deter
mined to have counsel present. Bal
linger then. in the letter, requested
that the hearing be postponed in
order that he might make complete
arrangements.

Reno, New, Feb. 4.-On the des-

herders. A storm overlook the sheep
while far from the corral. Two feet
of snow fell, making it impossible
for the animals to proceed. They
huddled together and froze to death.

cents a head, the buyer to take the
chance of getting the animals out

Washington, Feb. At was
learned today that the report Of the
general staff of the army will point
out that the United States is totally
unprepared for war at the present
time, and that our elaborate coast
defenses offers little security, be-
cause of the countrys defenseless-
ness against land attacks,
The report which soon is to be sub
mitted, is the result of an investiga-
tion upon which it's authors have
been working for two years.
1t is understood that it will SET
forth comparative plan for the or
ganization of an army, with a prop
erly proportioned and effective fight
ing machine as the great object in
view.
One of the leading officials of the
administration in discussing the sub
ject today, pointed out some of our
weaknesses. He declared that our
position as world power has really
been assumed, and that the continu.
ance depends upon the acquiescence
of foreign cabinets and the reorgani.
zation of the army, so that it can be
modified to defend our coasts from
land attacks.
His statement, which is said tC
foreshadow the report of the genera
staff, sets forth that the presen'
standing army of the United States
is not strong enough to prevent a for
eign foe from capturing our stronges
coast cities.
1t would take six months to ever
prepare to repel foreign invaders
it is said. Following are some of tn,
arguments to be set forth:
Japan could land 100000 veteran
troops on the Pacific coast within
three weeks, and could put doubl

that number upon American soil
within ten days more.
In two weeks Germany could place
trained army of zoo 900 on the At
lantic coast of the United States.
Once intrenched in our coast
cities, a foreign army of 10000 vet
Grams could hold out indefinitely
against five times that number of
American troops, it is eontended.
1t is pointed out that the navy is
largely dependent upon the coast de-
fenses, but that it can only defend
one coast at time, and, under pres
ent conditions, it would be impossible
to predict which coast might be at
tackled.
Also, it is urged, the navy is essen
TALLY an aggressive weapon, and
should not be tied up for coast de-
tense, because an invader, unmolest-
ed, might capture our insular pos
sessions, and then send emissaries to
sign a peace pact
1t is a well known fact that there
is considerable dissatisfaction on the
part of officers in certain branches
of the army, who contend that the
army has not been given proper at
tention in recent years in the mat
ter of appropriations.
/ Some oficials here are inclined to
believe that the talk of danger tc
our coasts is perhaps in some degree
/ the work of agitators representing
these factions of the army who desire
to gain large appropriations.
The General staff, however, has
had the matter under serious consid

their report is submitted it is ex
pected that it wilt be an official doc
ument that win carry much weight
and receive the most serious atten
tion.
