RULING AS TO CARFARE.
Controller Downey Decides When It
May Be Public Expense,

Carfare reimbursed to an employe of
the government for travel between his
home and his work would be in the
nature of additional compensation AS
such it is prohibited by law
Carfare incurred in going from place
to place in the performance of Official
duties and to facilitate such labors is,
when properly authorized, expense in
cident to the duty as distinguished
from personal, or what are usually
termed travel expenses. Such ex-
pense is properly chargeable, not to
travel expenses" but to appropria-
tons covering the duties performed
Such, in effect, is the general ruling
of the controlled of the Treasury,
George E. Downey, which he applies
to the question, referred to him, as to
the propriety of reimbursing customs
officials for carfare expended in the
course of days labor.

OXFORD, England, July 30.-"There
will be no more cheap prices; after this
war the world is in for a period of
rising prices" declared DIR. Slater,
principal of Ruskin College, Oxford, in
the first of a series of lectures on
economic phases of the world war.
II do not believe" he said, that
there will be a period of poverty aft
err the war. There will be no necessity
for poverty. and such poverty as there
is will be due to misapplication of the
productive powers which will be avail
able. 1t will be the poverty which
comes from wasted resources, and not
from inadequate resources.
There will be no return to pre-war
prices. That means that there will be
permanent readjustment of our meth
DDS. There will have to be permanent
rise of wages and other permanent re-
adjustments to meet the higher prices.
The proper policy for the trade unions
is to accept the war bonuses, not for
the duration of the war, but for the
duration of the higher prices
