Price Cutting Is Just
Another Way of Dynamiting
A Square-Dealer's Factory

The Times is inclined to agree with
Eldridge Reeves Johnson, president of
the Victor Talking Machine company,
who maintains in an article he has wI1t-
ten in the interest of fair trading, that
price Maintenance" was bad and un-
fortunate name to give the movement In
to which so much energy has been put
by dealers committed TO the big prin-
ciple involved.
By "price maintenance" the public was
Intended to discern an opposition TO price
cutting, this opposition looking to the
greatest good to the greatest number,
but it was possible of misinterpretation
and that is exactly what it got.
The public's construction put upon 1t
was, largely, that the movement meant
HIGH prices and higher prices. when as
q matter of fact, all that is desired is
that an article which sells for five cents
shall be sold for five cents, no LESS and
no MORE.
IL you do not follow US, we can make
the whole matter very clear by simply
referring you to the Johnson article,
very lucid and very logical piece of liter
ature, which suggests that it should
have been called THE Standardization OF
Fair Prices"
With the issue thus plainly defined, it
can be discussed with far better chance
of being understood and with far bet
ter chance of impressing both the public
and the lawmakers with whom Its fate
must eventually rest.
A Standardization of prices has for the
biggest. the soundest and most positive
point of argument in its favor, the long
established, always-accepted, rock-rlbbed
and uncontradictshle fact that FIGURES
DO NOT LIE.
Quite naturally. those who are most ~
terested in the movement are those W "
are sellers to the public, but they haze
not been identified properly until 1t Is
made known to you that they are sellers
committed to a great PRINCIPLE, doing
business on live-and-let-live basis
simply demanding that he other fellow
less scrupulous perhaps, be made to
adopt and adjust his business to that
same square-deal basis.
Coming right down to brass tacks, we
are all sellers, and we are ALL vitality
interested in this Standardization OF
prices. and if we know which side our
bread is buttered on, we will all do what
we can to bring about its success.
Tho a man work in ditch, at a
lathe. with paint brush, behind coun-
ter or at a desk or at what-not, he Is a
seller-selling his labor, with his hand or
with his brain. at SO MUCH PER hour
or day, or week, or month.
Consequently the purchasing power OF
the dollar he gets for that labor is OF
some consequence to him.
THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE
OF THE STANDARDIZATION OF
PRICES is THE PURCHASING POWEF
OF A DOLLAR, THE principle involved
is the Standardization of that very pur
chasing price.
IL costs so much TO buy the raw ma
terial. to manufacture an article and pu
ii on the market.
The manufacturer is entitled to rea
sonable profit.
He would become public charge if h,
didn't get reasonable profit, because tn,
overhead would eat him up-that is Z
say break him, and make him pauper
Upon a reasonable profit for the manu-
sactuvr depends the matter of reason

WHITE PINE COUNTY HI0M
CLOSES SUCCESSFUL YEAR

The school term of the county high
school ended with the commencement
exercises Friday evening after ten
months session and will not reassem-
BILE until some time next fall. Friday
was given over to completing the re-
ports, giving out the report cards and
such other work as remained to be
done before locking the doors for the
season. and to the class day exercises
of the senior class which occupied
the greater part Of the afternoon.
The closing of the school for this
term marks another abrupt turning
point in the history OF the school.
OF the eight teachers who have been
with us this year. only one. Mr.. Ken
yon. who has charge of the manual
training department. will return mex.

new instructors will Rave much OF an
idea of Nevada schools nor of Neva-
da conditions. They will not only
ne SiEtustfS W tHt fufiio but w Soea

and the policy of TIE school cannot be
foretold. In fact. the old school has
completely passed away and that
which assemblies next fall will be alb
solutely new to US all as would be a
school a thousand miles from Ely.
The classes of eighth grade graduates
this year are large and will furnish a
majority OF the students who enter
high school next fall.
The graduating c'ass of 1916 Is the
largest class that has gone out OF the
school, seven boys and eight girls
having been awarded diplomas from
the regular four year courses Of the
high school. Ten of the fifteen MEM
bers of the class commenced their
secondary education in Ely. while
seven of them have put In all Of the
high school period in the one institu-
ton. Twelve of them have already
signifed their intentions Of going 70
college this fall. and the Others plan
upon going a. soon as they can zee
their way clear to meet the expense.
The boys OF the class have all secured
work for the summer and will lose
no time In getting . start. They will
enter the University Of Nevada a.

further EXAMINATION. the subjects ~
being fully Accredited this rear.

RETIRING PRINCIPAL
EXPRESSES APPRECIATION

The White Pine County high
school closed Friday night for the
term of service In this community OF
all Of the teachers in the high school
except the instructor In manual
training. AS the retiring principal
of the school. l desire to express my
most hearty appreciation OF and SIN
cere thanks for the innumerable
courtesies and ~kindnesses that have
been extended to me during the nine
years in which ! have been engaged
In school work in White Pine coun-
ty.
While my interest has been al
most wholly devoted to the welfare
of the children in the schools. | have
not been blind to the fact that was
at all times receiving all the kindly
courtesies due 10 any man from the
teachers, trustees and PATRONS of the
public schools. and from the news
rarers published in the counties in
which I have been chiefly Interested.
The fayors extended to me have been
So generous and. so many that any
discouraging or Disappointing fea-
lures that may have been sprinkled
among them only served as an incen-
tive to greater effort and more def
mite action on my part. Looking
back over these years the only regret
I feel Is that I was not capable OF
giving better service.
A review of the past nine years OF
progress in the educational affairs OF
White Pine county brings to my mind
the large number OF substantial
school buildings that have been
erected and equipped. the establish
ment OF q thorough practical course
Of study. the hundreds of young peo-
pie who hold eighth grade diplomas
with my name oficially attached to
them. and last. but by 40 means
least IN my satisfaction. stand the
two dozen 6rst class high school d.
rlomas which bear my signature.
These are matters which will always
be 4 source Of great satisfaction to
me because OF the fact that ! have
been allowed the privilege OF taking
IN active part In the educational
work Of this part Of Nevada. But
above all else I feel most deeply
grstsful for the cordial Friendship
and the fine spirit of fellowship that
have prevailed between tho pupils.
teachers. patrons. and myself during
these yean. At this time Of retiring
from the neld Of active educational
WORK I feel that these sentiments
hold, more genuine satisfsction for
than all else.
In closing I wish TO express ny
thanks to the me who have been
members Of the county board Of eds
cation under whose administration I
have worked. TO the teachers who
have 20 ably and agreeahy assisted
