the American freighter Herman Frasch

bow of the destroyer dented some of
the bow plates of his vessel above the
water line and damaged the bridge. A
section of rail was torn away by the
destroyer's anchor. which was left
aboard the freighter through the

The Federal Trade Comu1u y
about to start an investigated g ~
rise in food prices. II will ask TIE
President to approve an appropria-
ton of 100000 for that purpose.
1t proposes to cover every side Of the
food situation.
Good! Let us hope at last we
are going to have q, real investiga-
ton. The country has confidence
in the Federal Trade Commission.
Now let's have the facts. Let's go
to the bottom-to the fundamentals
and really learn all that can be
learned about the subject.
The problem is legal and economic.
The question of whether there are
combinations in restraint OF trade
must be decided. That has hereto.
fore attracted the main attention.
Now it's time to go more into the
economic part--and go into ii tho
roughly. Are the people being COM
PEELED to pay too much for what they
buy? Nobody can answer that until
he can say with reasonable approx
imation what it costs to produce
those things.
In some fields the trade commits
sion will find plenty of data. The
packers, for instance, can tell II ex-
actly what it costs them to turn out
their products. Government atten-
ton has encouraged accurate cost ac-
counting in their case. But these
fields are limited. In the biggest
fields of all the work will nave To- be
done from the ground up. There
isn't farmer in Illinois who kuIws
what il costs him to put his product
on the market to-day. There isn't
one manufacturer In ten who has an
accurate idea of what 1t costs him 10
run his business.
Let the trade commission start lit
orally from the ground up Let
il start with the farmer and find what
production of everything. from eggs
to wheat and cattle, means in terms
of money and labor expenditure. He
doesn't know and nobody else knows.
Then let il follow the product tc
consumption. Many people assume
high prices don't start until they
reach some large organization. From
the economic standpoint they are just
as liable to start at the beginning as
anywhere else. Prices cannot be per
manently below the cost of produc-
ton under any circumstances.
The country is in the mood for an
investigation that will be long and
deep and thorough II is tired o:
these continued flurries about high
prices that get nothing except posi-
bly, politician into Congress or some
other job or into the newspapers.
1t has had its fill of half-baked rem
edies that spring from attention TO
only one half of the great problem.
Let's have an investigation that will
enable the country to see it steadily
and see il whole. 1t would be cheap
at 100000 or $4,000, 900 hicag go

 He took his bride west and from Chicago sent Miss Varney, who was in Providence, a postal card by which he hoped to end their relations.
 The postal said:
 Goodbye, old pal; good luck. God bless you. Jack" Reyes testified he planned to remain in the west, but about Thanksgiving time 1916, his wife became homesick, SO they returned east. He declared he had several meetings with Miss Varney after his return.
