PRICE FIXING AND OTHER
FIXING

There are a great man economi,
doctrines that are floating about ovel
the country offered as the panacea.
of the ills of the industrial world tina
will not bear the light of a careful
analysis, and prominent among these
is the doctrine of price fixing" AID.
vocates of this theory hold that the
growers of any one of the staple
products of the country may associate
themselves into a cooperative move
ment and limit the output and hold
the product till the consumers will be
forced to pay the price.
But this theory fails to take into ac-
just as important a factor as the pro-
Queer, and Furthermore, that while he
is the consumer of one product, under
the highly refined division of labor he
Is the producer of other things, and
that everything that is added to the
cost Of his production is reflected in
the price he must necessar ily add to
his product.
pAction in forcing the market price
of any one Of the great world COM
modities up is followed by a reaction
in the material advance of the price
of all other world products. There is
generally a swift and heavy penalty
for the violation Of economic laws,
and one of the most important of
these laws is that OF supply and de-
mand. Trusts or no trusts, combina-
lions or no combinations, the one
price fixing power in the world is the
measure of the worlds needs and Of
the worlds ability to pay.
The consumer Is as vital a factor IN
the matter of marketing the world s
crops as the producer. and any false
forcing of market prices will react
either in a general advance of all
prices or in lessened demand be-
cause the consumer cannot afford to
buy, and consequent lowering Of
the forced price because of the les
sened demand. The equitable work.
ing of the business world demands
equal justice for the buyer and seller
and that the free play of supply and
demand as opposing interest join is
sue, shall be the determining factor
in prices.
TIL growing independence of the
American farmer has made him f.
nancially able to exercise his own dis
erection as to holding his crops, with
the results that the country's surplus
may be equally marketed throughout
the year. And in this is found the
only safe and sane method of MAIN
tanning prices at the highest level for
1t permits the most even play between
supply and demand. Any other sys-
tenn is unscientific and pernicious.

The new educational philosophy
says that looking wise will no longer
count in this latter day demand for
trained efficiency. The world is de-
manding results. The corrugated
brow and the vacuously distracted
stare that has been the hall mark of
the deep thinker is no longer to be
credited. The thinker of today must
be a live wire and the surcharged
current Of his personality must be
distinctly measured in something
tangible.

News from London in connection
with the placing of the Oregon
Washington railroad bonds, says that
the applications for the $5,00O,O00 is
sue were far in excess of the amount
offered. These wexs per cent bonds
and were literally snapped up by the
British investors. With millions OF
idle money in the United States, the
railroads were obliged to go abroad
to get the issue placed. English
capitalists are not so scared at the
ghost dancing evidently as are theiI
American cousins. The faith that the
railroads have shown by the borrow
ing of this money to make the devel-
opments that they feel the situation
demands, and the response that world
capitalists have made, shows that the
situation has in it none of the ap-
prehension that many local capitalists
have felt.

The contest in congress is one be-
tween constructive and destructive
legislation. There are forces working
to tear down the present tariff sys-
tenn and substitute an untried theory
and there are those that wish tc
amend and correct the abuses that
have grown up under the system
There are those who wish to wipe Out
the present laws against the trusts
and begin all over again on new
theories. Disregarding all party lines
or previous Affiliations there are these
two alignments in congress and the
net result at the end of the session
will be the balance between these two
tendencies. Either the construction.
lists will prevail or the iconoclasts will
win. the only other alternative being
a deadlock. and nothing done.

Annual Meeting of the State

Spokane has decided to take away,
If it can, from North Yakima the
1913 meeting of the Washington State
Horticultural association. To that end
lit is now organizing campaign so
that it can go to Charleston the first
week in January prepared to win out
in the contest over the next meeting
place. This action on the part of the
Spokane people, instead of discourage
ing the Yakima enthusiasts has put
them on their mettle and they are
working harder than ever to raise the
local membership to point that will
justify their seeking the annual con-
vention for this city.

1t is now evident that there will be
nearly two score ranchers from this
valley present at the January meet

ments for transportation and accom-
mediation have been made and these

THE BLIGHT OF TOO MUCH
WATER

The national irrigation congress
discussed the conservation of water in
irrigation and set forth the assertion
that too much water is as much Of a
blight to the land as none at all' 1t
can be shown that in irrigated dis
tricts that crops have been flooded
out when the settlers on irrigated
tracts learn this lesson, two things
will result, first the growing of bet
ter crops and second such a conser-
walton of the amount Of water de-
manded that a larger acreage than
now thought possible may be supplied
from any one of the irrigated units
The question of economic waste in
the matter of handling the water
supply in irrigation is one Of the big
problems to be considered in grow
ing and developing crops on irrigated
land. The maximum and minimum
supply Of water on any tract is GER
tain to vary with soil and @subdrain-
age conditions and the cultivation of
any piece of land to produce the
highest results will demand a close
study of actual conditions as they
relate to the work in hand.
1t is certain that as this phase of
the problem is studied and the men
on the land succeed in solving the
problem before them as to the actual
needs of the soil that there will be
relative less water used and better
crops developed.

The observation has been many
times made, but it loses none of its
force by being repeated, that it is the
cost of high living and not the high
cost of living that is the real source
of our economic ills What were lux
uries in the times of the fathers are
thought to be necessities now and the
children of the present generation
are not content to put up with "a lower
standard of living than the one they
have marked out for themselves. The
November number of the American
Magazine has an article from James
j. Hill which discusses the change
condition of standards of living in a
very entertaining and instructive man
ner. He says:
"If 1 will do as my daddy did. get
basket and walk to the places where
the same quality Of food and veget-
ables as he bought are still handled,
I will get them at the same price, but
if 1 demand my steaks and chops
brought to my door, handled from the
day the animal was born in the most
intelligent and scientific manner, fed
and killed in up-to-date conditions,
hauled to me in automobiles, wrapped
in wax paper and delivered by boy
in clean white apron, 1 have to pay
for the labor involved.
Again, as boy in the early SOS
working as a clerk for five dollars per
week, in Philadelphia, I received fifty
cents for supper money when we were
required to work extra. OF course,
/ hunted up a twenty tive-cent place
to eat, so that the other quarter would
buy some amusement or other. To-
day, for twenty-five cents, I can get
better meal in New York restau-
rants of the same class, the latter be-
ing much cleaner. In short, it is not
the cost of living that has gone up,
but the standard of living. And all
the bowling we country boys, brought
up on a dollar-a-d day standard, may
do, is useless, so long as we try to
make our now ten-dollar- a-day in
come pay for fifteen dollar-a- day
style.
II tried housekeeping in London in
1904. Rented a furnished house in
the southeast section, New Cross. Kept
the same woman who had worked for
the regular occupants. We tried to
live on our regular New York Har-
lem-flat standard. The woman opened
her eyes. so did we. at the bills. Yes,
living is cheaper in London. but only
by the London-living standard. So it
is in New York, if we stick to the
Squedunk standard.
but the laboring man? A few
years ago we had no such man in Am
erica. He doesn't exist today in GER
tain parts Of New York, Pennsylvania,
( Ohio. Indiana, Illinois or TeXas-or
! any other state. We hear lot about
his suffering on the East side, Go
look where he came from. AS mat
ter of fact, he don't know how to live
any better than he does. He is living
so much better than he did, that he
can hardly stand it.
"I. an American by eight or ven
generations of residence here. went to
school with boys and girls of the
/ same class: patches on my pants and
( boots were common also on those Of
the other boys. My boy goes with the
children of fathers who do not yet

High Cost of Living

TO establish the actual and re-
sponsible sources of the high prices

and fathered by the president, will be
equivalent of suggesting practical
remedies for the evil, and it will also

The democrats sidetracked the per-

itics is being played.
