ARE FALLING PRICES JUSTIFIED?

Peace proposals from Germany
were followed by falling prices in do
nestle and foreign markets. In its
surprise, Wall street was almost
panic stricken, munition shares were
unloaded at panic prices wheat and
other produce fell, but cotton ad-
yanced.
! Whether the warning nations en-
gage in peace parleys or continue the
conflict last weeks proposals are the
! beginning OF the end of inflated
prices and wages. Two weeks ago
munition factories in Connecticut be-
IAN to lay off help, one concern alone
discharging 900. The war boom is
on the decline. Whether or not high
cost of living is on the toboggan slide,
many indications point to a return to
more normal economic conditions.
This return may be gradual or abrupt,
depending upon war or peace.
Already the situation has been
taken advantage of by designing poll
ticians, by bureaucrats, middlemen,
and consumers to hammer down un-
mercifully quotations for grain and
other food products. There is afoot
what seems to be a yeritable conspir-
acy to take it out of the farmer. "
! All sorts of canards are floating
through the markets to depress
prices. If farmers can be scared into
selling at low prices that portion of
their crop which they still hold, mid
j dlemen can corner supplies and later
put up the prices numerically.
The real truth, that allows for war
! hazard. may be SUNNI arized thus:
/. The worlds shortage in pro-
duction of food and fibre during 1916
probably is greater than in any re
cent year OF the food and fibre pro-
duced prior to 1916 the quantity as
yet unconsumed probably is the
smallest ever known.
2. The crop shortage applies rel
ativeIy throughout Russia and the
Danubian valley. Surplus stocks of
wheat in Russia, which a year ago
! threatened to flood the European
market upon the opening of the Oar
danelles, have been largely consumed.
The most liberal estimate of the stock
there as we'll as in other parts of the
world shows that the aggregate sup
ply of old grain can be only fraction
of the shortage in the 1916 crop.
3. The new crop of grain soon to
be harvested in the southern hemi-
sphere shows largely increased
area, but the present indicated yield
per acre is below normal.
4. In all other food products. con-
ditions are still more favorable to
producers and sellers. Nowhere is
there a plethora.
5. Full and fair prices therefore
would seem TO be justified for all
farm products from now until the
next crop is made. Should the war
continue the world crop of 1917 grain
may be relatively short. Early peace
would lead to frantic efforts in Eu-
rope to increase this spring the area
cultivated. In either event, however
the worldwide view today favors the
opinion that this planet will not yield
in 1917 any overproduction of food
or fibre.
6. If this view is correct. Ameri-
can farmers are entitled TO high
prices for everything they have to
sell up to next October, and fair
prices for the II months ensuing
However they may be affected by the

self receiving, in many cases, parti-
san advice from the competing presi-
dents, and is constantly tempted to
Glp into administrative details for
which its members have neither the
knowledge nor the capacity A lay
board is effective only under able
educational leadership in whose non
partsanship it believes. 1t is diff
cult to secure such a relation and
such leadership when a single board
Is supervising competing institutions,
and the moment such a board leaves
The field of educational gOyernance
fer That of actual administration, dis
aster is sure to follow"
After outlining the requisites OF
a alphabetically ideal board, the
report asks: Can a politically
elected governor be induced to ap-
point such a board?" and adds.
1t is conceivable that even such
a board as this might be overturned
by a partisan appeal to the legis-
lature."
The report also contrasts the
fiasco resulting from the single board
system in Iowa with the good results
achieved in Indiana by a simple
agreement brought about through
the joint efforts of the state officials
and the representatives of the insti-
buttons themselves. Under this
agreement the two institutions be-
came supplementary without dupli-
cations of courses or Wasteful rivalry,
Indiana University consists of the
college of liberal arts, the school of
education, the school of law, and the
school of medicine; Purdue contains
the school of engineering and the
school of agriculture.
In reaching his conclusion Cover
nor Lister was also doubtless influ-
enced by the intent of the legislators
who provided for the founding of the
state institutions OF higher learning.
The journal of the legislative session
of 1891 clearly shows the belief Of a
majority of the members that the
State College and University should
be entirely distinct.
When the house committee on the
Agricultural College and School of
Science reported out and recommend
ed the passage of the Adams bill en-
titled IAN act to provide for the To-
cation and maintenance of the Agri-
cultural College, Experiment Station
and School of Science of the State OF
Washington and declaring an emery
ency." il was accompanied by mi
nority report signed by NJ. NJ. God
man of Dayton. One section of his
report made the selection of a loca-
ton and site for the college subject
to the approval of the board of re-
gents of the State University. Repre-
sentative Sniyely of North Yakima
promptly moved that this section be
stricken out and his motion carried.
Under the plan mapped out by the
men who passed the law providing
for the founding of the institutions
of higher learning in this common
wealth. the State University, the
State College and each of the three
normal schools is managed by sep
arate board of regents. the members
of which are appointed by the gov

GOVERNOR LISTER AND THE
SINGLE BOARD SYSTEM

n. President Suzzallo of the State
4 University is now advocating the
plan of vesting the management OF
the University, the State College and
three normal schools in a single
board of regents. This idea has fire.
qucntly been suggested before and at
the last session of the legislature a
bill was presented providing for the
adoption of the system. At that time
the University was opposed to it.
Friends of the State College are con
yinced that President SuZZallO is now
supporting the plan because he sees
in it an easy way of accomplishing
hiss ambition of exalting the Uni
yersity and reducing the State Col
. lege to pure and simple school of
agriculture, and they are considerably
aa&ed lest, with the support of the
University, the proposed policy might
be enacted into law. There is little
occasion for this alarm, because an
other factor will enter into the equa-
ton, the powerful influence OF Gov
ernor Lister, who is on record as be
ing unequiyocally opposed to the
plan. In an authorized interview
given by the governor to the writer
III September, 1914, he said, in ref
. erence to this very matter:
Il have never said that | favored
. a single board of regents to manage
Norh the State College and the State
University and | am opposed to it
. and can not see how it would result
in any benefit, although there are
. many advocates of the plan. Had |
contemplated such move the Oppor-
tunity was presented when the
change in the regents of the State
University was made"
This frank statement of the gov
ernor contributed in large measure
to the heavy vote which he received
at the recent election in Pullman,
Whitman county and other parts or
eastern Washington. The people
know that when Governor Lister says
Chat he is against policy he means
1T. They know that they can rely
upon his pledges. He does not jump
at conclusions, nor form opinions
without careful study. His conclu-
sion that the single board plan would
not result in any benefit is backed
up by the very best authority.
The state of Iowa adopted the sin
gle board system in 1909 and the
eighth annual report of the president
OF the Carnegie Foundation, submit
ted in 1913, contains very COM
plete analysis of the results attained
by he plan. which are summed up
as a "fiasco" Among other things
the report says:
= 1T is evident from the experience
sof this board that there is a vast dill
Terence between their problem and
that of the usual board of trustees
concerned with single institution
an this last case the institution is
The sole care of the board. The
President interprets the institution
TO the board and it acts under con
staN educational leadership. the
board which is seeking to supervise
three competing institutions finds IL
