IF we would meet the competition
with which some of us think we
are so direly threatened after
the war. we must encourage indus
try and discourage idleness, for the
warning nations, having found what
an enormous increase in strength
such procedure has given them,
will hardly return, when the war is
ended, to the other method which we
seem to cherish so highly.
Arbitrary laws based on opinions
inherited from a bygone age are not
suited to an age like this, when the
struggle for existence, which is so
keen in Europe, threatens, perhaps
in another form, to involve us, for
the same causes that were active
there are active here.
Ninety years ago Thomas Carlyle
said, "The tools to the hands that
can WELD them"
1t is a reversal of this policy,
more than all other causes combined,
that has brought Europe to such
dire extremity. The control of the
implements of production fell into
the hands of investors, who saw more
profit in the control of markets than
in productive efficiency, which they
did not understand.
Competition for the control Of
markets is at bottom the primary
cause of the great war, and the fact
that Germany had a somewhat
clearer comprehension of the i'm
portance of productive efficiency and
the necessity for the control Of tools
by the hands that can WELD them
is the explanation of her tremendous
industrial and military power.
During the last eighteen months
England has revised her policy, and
through her Minister of Munitions
has taken industrial control from
stock and bond holders and placed it
in the hands of those who can deliver
the goods. The development she has
made since this change is so phe-
romenal as TO be almost unbelievable.
In her attempt to save her life she
has learned that strength lies in pro-
ductive efficiency. The other Euro
pean nations have undoubtedly
learned the same fact
In the face of these examples, are
we still going TO pin our faith to
market control until aroused by a
catastrophe, or can we learn from
the fate Of others and begin at once
to develop productive efficiency? We
have been talking efficiency in this
country for over ten years, but so
far the results have been lamentably
small. This is not the fault Of the
workmen, for wherever we have had
efficiency at the top we have had but
little difficulty in training workmen

For years. with ineficiency at the
top staring me in the face and ham,
pering me at every turn, have
labored to find means Of measur-
ing that efficiency, as it is perfectly
evident that without efficient direc-
ton efficient workmen are ineffec-

Berlin. Moscow

From this table IL will be seen that
the greatest advances in the Russian
food list have been in meats. On the
average meat costs from two and one
half to four times more now than 1t
did before the war.
The rise in Russian manufactured
goods other than foodstufs is even
more sensational. For the most part
such articles as footwear, stationery,
clothing. etc, are four and FIVE or
even eight and nine times as costly as
they were before the war. In the opin-
ion of Independent observers life in
Russia to-day is quite 200 per cent
dearer, and this upward tendency con-
tinues without the slightest abatement.
The newspaper "Novoe Yremya" says
Of this:
Commodities have increased in price In
Great Britain. France and Italy. But In
/ those countries there Is nothing com
parable TO the increase here. And yet in
France. for example. literally the entire
population is placed under arms and i,
working for defence; all the industrial
departments Of France Including the
colliery districtsj are occupied by the
enemy. Work has to be done with inn
ported raw material and imported fuel
the people feed on imported products. The
prices of everything OF course have risen,
but this rise is normal. Many prices re-
- e. 81 haE hcss
gone up 10 TO 80 per cent, and in rare
cases the rise exceeds 90 per cent. The in
crease in Italy is Insignificant and there
no shortage of goods IS observed. The
same in Great Britain. Economic laws
are everywhere identical: the war is every
where equally oppressive but Why then
only in Russia is there manifest an IN
crease not applicable by our economic
laws?
As a partial explanation the paper
points to the Reorganization of produc-
ton in Russia. Responsibility for this
rests chiefly upon the government,
which has failed to adopt any serious meas
ures for the support of our industry. but,
on the contrary, by its wholly inept inter
ference with private management has in
trodueed additional confusion into the al
ready sufficient chaos OF our productive &C
tivity. On the other hand. guilt attaches To
interruptions speculation. headed by special
trusts and syndicatea which have set them
selves the task of srtihcially curtailing pro
duction. of retarding supply by all means
and OF creating an artificial goods famine.

established not on the basis OF the market,
but as prices of rarities. Hence the ter

OF the metal Is exclusively due to
temporary inclination, which in Ger
man is termed "Angstbedarf." In other
words, as soon as tho cause Of this
boarding, viz. the fear Of the war or
crisis, is removed the silver coin will
be released In large quantities and
will Immediately produce an excess in
the circulation. AS the Netherlands
for many years after 1875 suffered
from an excess OF silver in circulation.
the Dutch government has been ex-
tremely careful in coming silver be-
yond the actual requirements. Since
the beginning of the war, without any
important exports, the Dutch public
has absorbed nearly sl5,O00,OOO in sill
yer coin. which has disappeared en-
tirely from circulation. There has
been talk of the adoption Of a circu-
lating medium which will not present
such great attractions for boarding.
SO far this year the Prussian State
Railway authorities have ordered
1900 locomotives, 100 passenger We
hicles, 400 luggage vans and $4,000
goods wag ms, says THE Railway Age
Gazette" and, with a view to exc
cutting these requirements every loco
motive and railway rolling stock firm
in the country has received orders ac-
cording TO its highest capacity FOR
output, but operations are seriously
curtailed on account of the shortage
of workmen. In several factories
prisoners of war, mostly French and
Belgians, are working under military
supervision. They are mostly skilled
laborers who before taking up arms
were employed in work of a similar
kind In normal times the German
locomotive manufacturers can produce
in the aggregate about 3,ou0 locomo'
tives annually.
The Russian newspaper "Novoe
Vremja" urges the creation Of State
monopoles and the enforcement of
tax on war profits, as In Great
Britain, to battle with speculation.
The acting Russian law taxing war
profits is little better than joke. for
while in Great Britain from this
source the estimate for the current
year is 1,2OO,OOO,OOO roubles $780,
600 .OOO), Russia anticipates therefrom
only 55,000,000 roubles (s27,500, 000),
though the profits of Russian manu-
facturers are much higher than those
of their contemporaries in Great
Britain.

RUSSIA ACUTELY
FEELS THE HIGH
COST OF LIVING

An interesting comparison OF com
modify prices in Russia and Germany
has been compiled By the Russian
newspaper "Russkoe Slovo," showing
that the prices Of a majority OF the
principal articles of food at Moscow
are considerably higher than in Berlin.
The following table indicates the per-
centage Of rise at the two capitals:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-11

No popular government, no public
commission, no man with a political
head to lose could afford TO tell the
truth in this fashion: 1.-THE
automatic function of price is to reg
ulate demand. Prices will 90 on ris-
ing until people can no longer afford
to pay them. They will then be
obliged to economic. The poor will
be the first to abstain. They will
abandon their few little Injuries.
That will touch the trade in fancy
goods, ornaments, trifes and trim
mings. If this does not suffice, the
next step will be to economic in es-
sentials. That will touch the trade
in ready-to-wear garments, footwear,
cillinery, movies and imitation furs.
The third step will be economy in
food, and when it has come to that
pass for the poor, the demand for
luxuries will have begun to diminish
in the strata next above. The insti-
tuition called price will then be said
to have performed its function in a
highly efficient manner. 1t has to
produce its effects first at the bottom
for the memorable reason that it can
not begin at the top. The government
can do nothing about it unless the
whole order be changed. To regulate
prices it would have also TO regulate
distribution and consumption and
put people on rations. 1t may indict
a few greedy middlemen, but that is
Of no avail. Middlemen are but TAX
ing advantage of basic conditions for
which they are not in the first place
responsible. There is no law against
charging all you can get"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-11

The public has been told this
truth in England. There prices have
risen nearly 80 per cent in two years,
and the people clamor for govern
ment interference with the function
Of price. They demand that the rise
lie stopped by fiat or by some means
of arbitrary legislation. The presi-
dent of the Board of Trade retorts
that the problem of the government
is not how TO stop the rise in prices
but how TO reduce consumption.
which increases Notwithstanding. A
large portion of the British public,
suddenly enriched by the govern
ment's enormous war expenditures,

Whose Tank Farm?

A producer who is well acquainted
with the Healdton field and with the
different operators, says that the
Producers Oil company has the only
tank farm which its necessities re
quire and that the tank farm recently
purchased near Wilson is for the Tex
as COMPANY instead of the Producers
company. He also states that the
Texas Company and the Producers
company have different civil engin-
GERS a\l different attorneys, and that
w. c. Mundt, who is the engineer
here doing the work, belongs to the
Texas Company and that ]. II. HILL
in whose name the deed was taken,
is a member of the legal family OF
the Texas Company. II is probable
that the tank farm when completed
will be the property of the Texas
Company instead of the Producers
Oil Company, which was stated in
another item in today's paper. The
Texas Company will not make any
statements for publication, and news
reporters are left to guess as best
they can.

BUYS A TANK FARM
Producers Oil Company is Building
Tanks Near Wilson.

In sections 81 and 50 in south
and west, which is near the town
of Wilson, the Producers Oil COM
pany has purchased 100 acres of land
to be used as tank farm. The
land has been decided to J. II. Hill,
who is a member Of the legal depart
ment of the Texas Company 1t is
stated that a contract for two 10000
barrel steel tanks has been awarded
TO the Petroleum Iron Works of Sha'
ron. Pa, and workmen are now en-
gagged in making grades for the tanks
No steel has arrived, but it IS eX'
pected by the time the farm is ready
for construction work.
The tank farm purchased by the
Producers Oil company, which is a
subsidiary of the Texas Company, Is
located between the field and Ard
more. and when the oil is conveyed
TO the farm it will be on the com
panys line Of proposed pipe line from
Healdton east to Durant, where II
will connect with the company's main
line from Oklahoma to the Gulf coast
The Texas Company is aggressive al
this time in making purchases oil
petroleum. In the Hotel Tulsa
where the oil price is posted, the
Texas Company has a notice stating
that it will give ten cents barrel
above the quoted price. 1t does not
state what fields are referred to, and
il possibly means that the company
will give ten cents above the posted
price at Healdton. Below this notice
posted by the Texas, someone has
written another notice, which states
that the Gulf Company is not in the
fight.
