cost Of .aeor ft. q. wages paidJ. the cost Q. power. the management ex- pcuses all riss in due proportion in all industries
 High prices become an uncon- trolled, and furthermore an uncon- trollable evil when the other factors rise and the labor costs, the wages paid do not The need of govern mental control occurs when we ob- serve the most enormous profits which ownership makes in modern industry and at the same time ob- serve the gradually diminishing purchasing power in terms of all other commodities Of tho workers wages.
 Returning to the attemp, of the government to control the price of food. Ii ls clear that the farmer is not protected in his production ex- peuses but that an effort is made 10 take if out of the farmer. i His machinery rises all the time. Probably it has quadrupled within the past few years. His binder twine has increased 9 per cent; his gasoline has gone up increasing the cost of operating his tractors by a still greater amount. Government steps in and stays the price of wheat It is controlled but govern mcnt has not ventured to control the price of iron, steel, hemp, jute gasoline, machinery, tools, leather or other things essential to the pro- duction of food which it takes upon itself to control.
 This is so obvious a venture that it may be doubted from the start.
 ,t $ true that in controlling the food and fuel two of the most ele- mentary and necessitous items oi tabor cost, are controlled Rut clearly with other commodities un, affected, the position is so arbitarl as to result in being lnworkable The trouble is that schemes ot this kind are hap hazard. They are taken at random. Tbey have neither the endorsement of capi talist nor collectivist economies They are examples of what mel will do when they do not want tC do what might be more effective.
 It is not likely that the war vii last long enough to prove the com pletc futility of this incomplete sy stem of price fixing by the gov ernmetn. But it will develop suhi cient facts to show that it is incom plete end finally unworkable for that reason.
 Everyone who has lived in T new camp where wealth production Wa great and labor demand for year is great, such a camp as was Daw son for example in the carly days

knows very well that prices will be excessively high. But he will know also that notwithstanding these high prices, the worker is trl'CCas" urabl2 better off than III camps where wages are low.
 The supply cf labor not being adequate to the demand, and the necessarily Of adjusting the wages paid labor to the higher costs ot living, are facts that are forced upon employers and there is tAat adjustment.
 The industrial difficulties which the United States face are persist ontly laid to high prices That simply is stating the case upside down. It is 60 stated for the de- finite purpose of concealing from the Public which does not think the actual cause of the present con ditons.
 When We read the Congressional Record and enjoy the orations G the solons upon the poor people wno have to pay high pr.ocs and who for tGat reason were cIamol ing Tor foad and fuel c9ntro. aaj lower prices, ye ere Fl mt~led. Ae fer a. we know to the contrary .ue .e4oa~ ,lgmcelves ny AsF' been misled But # conno, he tor rurhattsl2ly stated that the trouble is not wth high prices. Net thC loast particle. The trouble is now and has been always that wage, were too low. Low wages and noj high prices is the cause of the pre- sent industrial difficulties and higf prices without a scientific effort to bring all commodities within the reach of the purchasing power O wages these difficulties will con. tinue despite all the efforts of Food Controllers and Price Regulators throughout the nation.
 However the economists as well as the politicians delight to state it the other way. They dwell u)cn the robbery to which labor is sub iected at the point Of consumption when in plain truth the robber, is not taking there al all but at the point of production
 We have here lenghty list oi corporations and firms and agen- l cies doing business in the Uni'e ed States, with also the data concern l ing the profits made during the veal 1916. and these will be as nothing 1 10 what is made this year. The list was made in connection witt the effort to raise revenue iron excess profits.
 The profits are enormous. Thel are so enormous that their billioncC ciphers simply numb conception Whence camc that profit? From th' purchasers And where did the pur chasers get the wealth to pay tha price from? From the banks? Ant the banks? From Heaven? Fron their safe? And has gold thel the power of reproducing itself?
 Nore of these things. The pro fits came from unrequitcd labor Labor produced articles over anC above the quantity of article whose value would equal the wage paid. The value of those article over and above that. is the prof of the corporation, agency, bushes

I firm in the United States or any where else under the system of ca pitalist production.
 Suppose for the moment that instead of dissipating these millions in profits to idle shareholders, the money was returned to the work CTS within those plants, on those railroads, in the various factories, the result would be that there would be money with all and to all to pay for every human necessity De the prices many times higher than the present.
 But then there would be no such luscious dividends There would have been no such juicy melons uuartered up by the owners and shareholders. The Wall Street ac tivities would die of hamilton. The matter of high prices only would have solved itself.
 And that is where the shoe pinches. That is why the econom- ists and publicity agents, the poli- ticjans. the press dwell upon the fact of the consumers being robbed.
 The consumer suffers from eX- actions all right. But he suffers from them as g producer when he is wage worker
 High prices are not necessarily bad But they are bad when they stand IS they now stand throughout the industrial world of the United States for low wages.
 The lew wages paid today is the root of the evil. If government wanted to stimulate production, if government wanted to reduce labor 1 troubles to a minimum, government could do it far more effectively than by price fixing. Government could dc it by insisting upon labor getting more of it's product which owners as their profts or their dividends.
 In this way the high prices would automatically adjus. themselves while now they press heaviest upon the poorest for the very existence of a higher price fer necessary com modities with the wages rising in no similar proportion means entire ly that wages are too low.
 The economists say do not in crease wages. If you do wages will in turn increase prices. Nothing oi the kind. If prices are fixed then in proportion to the wage scale paid. and not for one but for all commodities, the price fixing will have a permanent value and per manent effect in reducing the labor troubles now confronting the gov crnmCnt and the nation to a mi nimum.

MUST HAVE DEPENDENTS.
Mere Fact of Marriage No Grounds
for Exemption.

Columbia, Sept. 30.-Dependencl
and not the mere fact of marriage is
to be the criterion governing eXemp
ton boards in considering claims fol-
exemptions, according to a telegram
received by Governor Manning to-
night from Provost Marshal Gen
Crowder. This was in answer to a
wire from the Governor requesting
an Interpretation of the Presidents
wish that married men would not be
drafted. The wire follows:
Dependence and not the mere fact
of marriage is and has always been
the criterion. The President expresses
the hope that for the most part those
accepted in the first call would be
men who had not yet assumed the
relation of the head Of family. but
he distinctly held that the regulations
were controlling and that the orders
issued under the regulations, direct
ing the exemption boards to establish
the fact of marriage, ought not to be
abrOgated.

ASKED TO BAR LA TOILETTE.
Minnesota Governor and Safety
Commission Wants Him OuSted.

Washington, Sept 30.-A commun-
ication from the Governor Of Mime
sofa and the State Public Safety Com
mission requesting the EXPULSION
from the Senate of Senator La Fol
lette, of Wisconsin, was presented
in the Senate today by Senator
kellogg. of Minnesota, and referred
by Vice President Marshall to the
Senate privileges and elections COM
mission.
Senator kellogg received the COM
munication. which was adopted by
the State commission as the result OF
Senator La Follette's recent speech at
st. Paul. Before presenting it to the
Senate he conferred with Vice Presi-
dent Marshall, Senator Martin, of
Virginia, Democratic leader, and
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, chairman
of the committee to which it was
referred Any further action will first
Senator La Toilette was not in the
chamber when the communication
was presented and there was no dis
cussion or other action.
Demands Impeachment.
Four other communications, one
from the Washburn Loyalty League,
of Washburn, Wis, and three from
individuals, demanding the impeach-
ment of Senator La Toilette, were re-
ceived by Vice President Marshall
and presented to the Senate in the
usual routine way.
Senator kellogg explained that he
presented the resolution according to
the usual practice of filing communi-
cations from responsible organiza-
tions and that there was no other
significance in his action.
Declared REASONABLE.
Characterizing La Follette's speech
in St. Paul September 20, before the
Non-Partison League, as ''disloyal
and seditious," the resolution de-
clares the utterances already have
served to create reasonable senti-
ment in Minnesota, and petitions the
Senate to begin proceedings to expell
La Toilette as "a teacher of disloyal-
ty and sedition, giving aid and COM
fort to our enemies and hindering the
government in the conduct of the
war"
Senator Pomerene indicated that
the privileges and elections commit
tee would take no action for the
present at least. He said he could
not decide until after comforting with
other members, a. lat quorum of
the committee could not be obtained
probably during the session.

National Debt Records.

The United States government has
from the first day of it's life, with the
exception of a brief time during Jack
sons presidency, been in debt. but
never alarmingly So, With each war,
there has been, of course, a sudden
increase in debt, but after each war
the paying off of the debt has always
been carried out rapidly. 1t is inter-
esting in view of the decision now
committing the nation at one step to
new Indebtedness of S7,000,000,0O0

past in brief summary. This is as

Our present national debt of less
than one billion for a nation of 100
100000 people is absurdly small
compared with Great Britain's debt
of $4,000, 100000 imposed on ma
ton of much less than half as many
people. All things considered the
United States could carry debt of
thirty billion as we'll as Great Bitain
can carry half that amount. 1t is
not only that our population is more
than double but our natural resour-
ces have never been drawn upon as
in ancient England. 1t was the blind
ness of madness on Germany's part
to defy this country's entrance in
the war.-Spartanburg Herald.
