PRICE FIXING.
New York SUM-

Price fixing is the most vicious
blunder conceivable; not because of
the injustice to producers and ven
ders, but because of its inevitable eff
feet in stopping production and check
ing the marketing Of commodities. The
fixing OF minimum prices strangles
trade and industry for psychological
reasons. The minimum price becomes
the maximum that any one will pay
willingly and that . the producer can
count on getting. Fixed maximum
prices are not only psychologist but &C.
onomic barriers to production. In
embarked and no new effort put forth.
The stimulus to industry and invest
ment is the hope of profit. Lock the
door on this opportunity, and capital
and labor alike soon take to the sub
cellar and the roadside. An aim of
the government might we'll be the
sane limitation of consumption, or at
least the control of waste. In this
by far the most potent
agency is the price current. Artifi-
cially low rates are an inevitable in
to lavish and wasteful con-
while high figures mean
frugality and restraint, and the sub
stitution of abundant foods for those
of which there is a scarcity. We had
the working of the law demonstrated
most perfectly in the recent food agi-
tation in this city. Man cannot beat
the laws of the universe. When he
fights them. they punish him relent-
lessly.

AUTOMOBILE TOURISTS.
South Idaho Cities Provide Convenient
Camping Facilities.

which suggests that some of these
might be induced to make brief stops
in this district if given proper en-
couragement. In this connection the
following from the Twin Falls News
shows how the matter is viewed in
other Idaho towns on transcontinental
highways
Various persons, Twin Falls people
as well as visitors, have called atten-
ton to the need here for camp facili-
ties for automobile tourists. Other
cities have recognized this requirement
and have made provision for the COM
fort and convenience of the hundreds
of touring parties which make use of
camp sites rather than hotel accomo-
dations, Salt Lake City gives such
camp sites in her parks, and other
western cities have made similar pro-

town has to satisfy this demand. This
town will provide not only water and
fuel for the campers, but will install
telephone and other conveniences at
the camp site. The people regard the
camp site in the way Of profitable in

There is no question as to the de-
of providing for the comfort

Copper for the Allies.

Our allies need 1,4OO, 0OO.O 900 pounds
OF copper this year, we are told; while
our government will require 250,0OO,-

Is now at the rate OF 1900. 100000

Is made safe for democracy; that this old world will be a safe place in which to live; that the mailed fist of mili- tarism is driven from the face of the earth.
 With these thoughts, then, we recommend to all employers of labor that they take care of the boys who are going away; that they give these boys some sort of assurance that their jobs will be here when they get back. The mere mention of this will cause a change of heart in many of tho young men who are holding on to their positions, afraid to let go for fear someone will take away from them that which they strived for so long and so arduously. The dcparturc will not be one half so hard if there is some provision made for the home- coming.

NOT TOO LATE TO
 PLANT VEGETABLES
Food Capable of Being Produced
 in Late Gardens

Washington, June zs.-Sweet pota- toes, beets. squash, cabbage, okra, pepper. eggplant, string beans, Lima may be planted in this section (marked z one c on the Departments zone planting map for vegetables), say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. These vegetables may be grown in ground occupied by early maturing crops such as peas, kale, early cabbage, spinach, and radishes. There is ample time for sweet potatoes to mature, and there is no better way to add to the winter food stock of the family than by growing this root crop. Late cab- bage is another profitable crop to grow for winter use. Beets, squash cucumbers, and the other vegetables mentioned may be planted now with good chances of success.
 There is of course, considerable variation within the region for which this advice is given. It may we'll be that the possibility for plantings suc- cessfully certain of the crops men, tioned has passed in the more south erly sections.
 Now is the time for every gardner to cultivate his garden thoroughly. If weeds have been allowed to start they should be destroyed at once as they are robbing the plants of needed nneso!l mulch Is formed.> Nothing

THE kAISER'S PROPAGANDA.

We may be wrong; but to our way of thinking, this, from the Chicago Journal, states the case:
 The secret service of the United States deserves both branches, ot it's name; it works and il keeps it's mouth closed. But if those public enemies whom it foils and defeats choose to chatter. the service does not always gag them and so far as is known it has made no effort to sup Kaisers present propaganda in this country:
 Every German spy and sympathizer is instructed to pick out two men after this fashion:
 1. This is Wall street war, a war of the interests" (It will be news to most of us that Wall street sank the Lusitania and ordered American ships off the seal
 ?. "Why should we fight Eng lands battles?" (Ignoring the fact that for the present. at least. England and France are fighting ours.)
 3. We must stop the export of munitions and food instantly" (Thus doing for the kaiser what his ex- pensive fleet and murderous sub- marines have failed to do.)
 A. There's no need of going to Europe to fight; let the Germans alone till they come over here.' (The Kaiser knows perfectly that a three months campaign in the neighborhood of New York or Phila- delphia would cost the United States more blood, tears, and treasure than a two years war in Europe)
 When the two men thus chosen have been filled to the neck with these arguments" each of them is to go out and get two more, and so on, ad infinitum. There are other points in the game of sowing dissension be- tween ourselves and our allies but those given in quotation marks above are the main ones. When you hear or read such stuff now you know who inspires it.

TT MUST GO.

There is movement on foot now to investigate the lobby maintained by the Prohibitionists in Washineton. For some twenty years the corridors of the capitol have been filled with the agents of the Anti-Saloon League These men, mostly gentlemen of the cloth but without appointed parishes, have button holed Congressmen and practically threatened ruin unless their demands were presented in one form or other. Now th3 question arises, Where has all tb money come from? Where do these lobby ists get their financial backing?'
 It is known fact that the Prohi- bition workers in Washington are we'll paid. In some instances they receive salaries that are stupenduous. They make money. There is no cleverer coterie of paid workers in the country They produce results They have behind them the force of moral argument, and any Congress- man who dares thwart thatr desires can be held up to his constituents as immoral What happened when the House of Representatives voted prac- tically unanimous on the Food Con- trol bill with it's Prohibition rider is well remembered.
 Prohibition itself is not on the stand; but the lobby behind Prohibit ton is on trial. It must be determined just how far any lobby exercises in- f1uence upon the representatives of the people. If the liquor interests maintain a lobby in Washington that lobby too should be driven out. The Anti-Saloon lobby has acted under the guise of religion and therefore it is a difficult matter to criticise. Yet this is no time to allow any body of men to hold up Congress. And these men, by their answer to the President of the United States upon his re- quest for a cessation of their activi- ties, show they consider themselves the masters of the American Con- gress. That cannot be. Such lobby must go.
