SOME ANCIENT HISTORY RE
CALLEr


A Tennessee congressman has in
troduced a resolution looking to the
control of the price OF commodities,
in order to reduce the high cost OF
living, which has led Major j. G..
Hemphill, we'll known Washington
newspaper correspondent, to dig up
some interesting ancient history. He
cites the fact that DiOcletian, En-
peror of Rome, just 1900 years ago,
was perplexed with the same prob
lem. Possessed Of plenary power he
issued decree, fixing the prices of
commodities, providing death pen
atty for those violating It. In the
proclamation the Emperor said:
"Who Is of so hardened a heart
and so untouched by feeling for
humanity that he can be unaware,
nay, that he has not noticed, that III
the sale of wares which are en-
changed in the market, or dealt with
in the daily business Of the cities,
an exorbitant tendency in prices has
spread to such an extent that the un-
,bridled desire OF plundcrIng is held
in check, neither by abundance nor
by seasons of plenty"
That sounds nightly like the con-
gressional resolution. The Emperor
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1913-12-17

fixed the prices of 500 articles, for
instance, wheat at 33 cents, pork z
cents, eggs 5 cents. But he did
more. He fixed the price of labor.
A common laborer was to get 10
cents per day, a bricklayer q cents,
painters SO, carpenters 81 and tail
ors % cents. He also regulated
transportation. He saw the present
Interstate Commerce Commission
and went it one better. TO carry
person one mile the carrier got
nine-tenths Of one cent. A cameI's
load Of 200 pounds, for mile, cost
three and one-half cents,
DiacIotian meant all right but he
had to repeal his decree for it af--
fected too many people and was
therefore quite unpopular And so
the political pustimG 0 to-day of
regulating and reducing the cost Of
living. If it should be possible, to do
50. while It would be popular with
the man who buys would doubtless
prove quite unpopular with the pro-
ducer. who sells. 1t is the old, old
question of trying to regulate the
law of supply and demand, the law
of economics by statute. game the
shalIow-mindcd and political charla-
tans have played for more tllan 1900
wears. The difference is that those
engaged in It today, unlike Diocle-
tian, have to be elected to Office, and
while they seek to regulate prices
they abstain from trying to control
wages. On the contrary congress
hooked on provision to the appro-
ptiation bill that no part Of the
money should be used III prosGcut-
Ing labor organization or combi-
nation, even though 1t be in viola
ton OF the ShermSn law, and unfor-
tunately President Wilson approved
It, though Taft had vetoed similar
one.
The major points out that when
Dtocletian begun his regulation Rome
entered upon policy Of paternalism
that FASTENED its end; that the ten
dcpcy today, in this country, is to
look to the government for aid and
assistance in everything, Il drift to-
ward patcrnaIism that is dangerous.
Leffcrsons theory that the gov
rrn,nnnt least governed Is the best
governed no longer appears to have
any advocates or defenders The peo-
plc seem to forget that as they lean
upon the government they thereby
surrender, in some degree their own
independence and strength.
Are we drifting toward paternal-
ism or socialism, or both?--Hamp-
