WHEN PRICES GO SKYWARD.

| Gasoline is a commodity that is
used alike by the rich and the poor.
The fisherman on the northeastern
| coast of the United States is as much
| interested in it's price as is the mil
lionaire lolling along the boulevards
| Of Chicago in his high powered motor
| car. The housewife employs gasoline
on a scale relatively as large as the
man of commerce. Therefore, the
recent sensational rise in the price of
this general all round utility is caus-
ing CONSERVATION and agitation in
every quarter of this country mat
the United States Congress has seen
fit to take the matter in its hands
with the intention of ordering an IN
vestigation into the conditions caus-
ing this rise in price seems on the
face of it a promise for an alleyia-
ton of ills. Yet it is doubtful' II any
such JOY will rest in the bosoms OF
those large consumers who use gaso-
line every day, for the advanced
prices of this commodity have been
brought about by purely natural con-
ditions which cannot be easily over
come A report from the Depart
ment of the Interior to Congress SHOWS
that gradually certain of the oil wells
in the western fields have become al
most barren. That is prime fea-
son. Aside from that the European
war has put such a heavy demand
on the production of oil in this coun-
try that the entire supply is rapidly
becoming exhaust and this, coupleo
with the great increase in the num-
her of automobiles in use, brings the
commodity down to a low ebb. 1t is
the inevitable working of the law or
supply and demand. Thus the sud-
den rise in prices.
Before the United States loosens 1t
saIf from the grip of the present eco
nomic maelstrom the prices OF many
other comm ODDITIES will soar sl<yWard,
obeying the same law as that 1ollo"eo
by gasoline. Munitions of war start
ducers are satisfied to meet the de-
mand of those who have the avail
able prices. Foodstuffs articles or
clothing everything, must eventually
reach unprecedented figures. NOT
only will the individual consumer SUI
fer, but the nations themselves must
feel the burden of this phase or
human activity. Steel has already
out-stripped itself in price. AS a re-
suit Of this the Navy Department has
found it necessary to almost totally
revise it's estimate for the naval pro-
gram. All materials entering into
ward in price by leaps and bounds'
while the cost of labor has gone hand
in hand with them. Economists at
tribute to the war the blame for this
condition. Germanys products are
blockaded, they cannot reach TINS
country. England is letting out moth
ing which she can use at nome. Inc
whole of Europe is cutting down eX-
nor+s The United States is sending
abroad everything that will command
high figures, and so it runs. we Will
he fortunate indeed if this time next
year we are not paying almost double
prices for everything we demand IN
the line of necessaries and luxur1es.
When the demand is greater than the
supply. the consumers must pay the
producer There is no other way
out.

1t is because many of the things
said by Colonel Roosevelt of the
present administration, in the bid he
has made for a third term in the
presidency. are true that it is above
all things necessary the republican
party should prevent his nomination
at Chicago in June. Of course the
republicans cannot control the ac-
ton Of the so-called progressive con-
vention, which meets in the same
city at the same time. If Roosevelt
fails to get the republican nomination
he is seeking so ardently what the
body financed by George w. Perkins
and some other multi-milionaires
does or does do will be immaterlal.
