BERKELEY. Calf, oct. 5.-The
second lecture on Price Move
ments" by Irving Fisher Of Yale
was given this afternoon. his sub
jet for the day being Price Move
ments During the War" His ad-
dress, in part follows:
Before the War.
As the facts which we have re-
viewed show. at the outbreak OF the
great war some cause or causes had
been steadily elevating prices far
above their low level OF 1895. The
subject had attracted world divide at
ten:ion. There had been bread and
meat riots in many cities through
out the world. from Berlin TO Toxic.
For several years there had been
talk Of an international conference
on the high cost Of living. 4 bill
authorizing the president to call
such a conference had passed the
senate at the end of the Taft adj
ministration and Mr.. Wilson, prior
to his becoming president. had ap-
proved the idea Premier (now pres
iden) Poincare and other public
men and organizations in most civil
lied countries had done the same.
Numerous local and national in
vestigations on the high cost Of liv-
ing had been made and numerous
reports, articles and books on the
subject had appeared.
The War.
In the midst Of all this ferment
the war came and cut discussion
short.
But il soon became apparent that
since the war began the high cost OF
living had risen further Neutrals
suffered As well as belligerents. We
have recently heard loud complaints
from Holland, Sweden, Norway and
Spain.
The first price phenomenon dur
ing the war was a speculative rise
Of prices Such a sudden speculative
mark-up OF prices usually accom-
panies war. This was temporary,
however, as such arbitrary mark
ups usually are. It reached its maxi
mum in the United States in Sep
TENDER. 1914. As soon as il became
clear that market conditions would
not Justify such a rise the specula-
tors were forced within the follow
ing two months to reduce the prices
nearly 20 normal. No great change
In prices was felt until near the
close of 1915 from which time the
rise Of the price level has been rapid
and almost uninterrupted.
What has happened wa. dimly at
least, forseen by some Of Us and
was. for the most part, forecasted by
me in my little book. why & the
Dollar Shrinking2" published
month after the outbreak CT the
war.
Retail Prices.
The retail prices OF food have now
mounted TO ~ percent above the
level before the war This rise,
however, while sufficient TO revive
popular excitement on the subject
is trifiing compared with the rise
abroad, even among neutrals In

Openly defying Judge Coffey. nine
members of the jury late yesterday re-
fused to return an instructed verdict

BLUE LAWS ARE
NARROWED DOWN
Many Activities are Taken From
Tabooed List-Fort Madison
Jury Finds Theatre Men
Not Guilty.

The Iowa blue laws appear to be
getting coat of whitewash. One
after another Sunday activities have
been taken from the tabooed list by
the attorney general. Apparently the
only things that now constitute viola
lions of the Sunday law are the SAL;
of cigars and confectionery and ice
cream. Mr.. Havner has not given up
the fight on theatres, but no jury ras
yet convicted a theatre proprietor
for remaining open.
A Jury in Fort Madison yesterday
rendered a record breaking verdict
Of mot guilty" against proprietors o!
the Grand and Orpheum theatres who
remained open there last Sunday
night. In other parts of the state
theatre men have been found not
guilty of violating the law and it is
likely. in the light Of precedent
established, that action against
theatres in the state viii be dropped
unless some higher court makes
new ruling.
