WAR REWARD

The European war stands out SO
prominently in the minds of most
people that it is difficult for any
body but the most optimistic OF Us
to see in it any good whatsoever.
And yet there has never b7en
time in the history of the world
when the teachings OF the health
craaks" have been given such un-
qualified endorsement.
II there were ever time when ma
tions were justified in letting pre-
sent needs loom large to the eXclu-
sion Of all thought for the future,
it would seem to be in these days OF
overwhelming tragedy. What more
natural than that every thought and
every energy should be bent
strengthening the war forces in the
fell?
Instead, from the very beginning
Of the war, wise men abroad have
b zen preparing to meet the horrible
peace conditions that will follow
Immediately on the close of the war
and the most signifcantthing about
these preparations is that they are
1t merely industrial. The human
element, the health of the worker,
present and future, is being studied
and considered in times OF peace.
Thus in conservative English cir
cles, the Fairgrounds, medical in
spection of school children, warm
lunches, etc. are no longer scoffed
at and regarded as the proposals of
the "faddists." Instead, they have
been taken over by the most "prac-
tical" of sound headed leaders who
have been compelled to see, as they
wouldn't see before, b t It h e

sire the right Of suffrage, or not.
Suffrage leaders, including Senator
Skogmo, pointed to the fact that a
similar measure O the Remodel
bill. was introduced in the Massa-
chusetts legislature few years ago,
and while the women of Massachu-
sets voted five to one in favor Of
the extension Of suffrage, they are
still waiting for the franchise.

There was a close debate over the
Hart Bill, which provided that a
common council or town board
should not be compelled to revoke a
saloonkeeper's license until he had
been three times convicted of selling
liquor to minor or posted person.
The measure was attacked by As
sembIyman VIM. 7. Evjue, W h o
claimed that it dynamited the pres
ent revocation statutes. Under the
present law, town board or COM
mon council is compelled to revoke a
license as soon as a saloonkeeper has
been convicted Of selling liquor to a
minor or posted person.
During the present week, h e
committee on State Affairs will hear
arguments on the Skogmo bill to ex-
tend the right of sffrage to women
At the same time, arguments will be
presented on the Remodel bill. which

to a suggestion that Congress do al
possible to facilitate the passage OF
laws so that this country may be adj
equately protected in case of war.
The Assembly killed the Evjue
Bill, which would prohibit the ap-
pointment Of any member of the
Legislature to an office of trust in
this State, during the term for
which he is elected. Assemblyman
Evjue charged that in previous ses-
siops of the legislature, men had
been influenced in their votes through
the fact that an appointment was
dangled before them.
Upwards of 200 women came to
Madison last week to attend the

While no bill has been recommended
by the Senate Committee on State

engagements, tn appropriations
made by this session of the legisla-
ture would not exceed the appropri-
ations made by the legislature of
1915. In spite of these facts, the
indications were that the receipts
for the coming biennium would be
81, 100000 in excess of the receipts
of the past biennium.

The legislature has lost another
week Of time dabbling in politics.
This has been occasioned by the in
PRODUCTION, last week, in the upper

~ Bennett, Of Viroqua, through
the Committee on Legislative Pro

Senator in aiding what is claimed by
some to be a filibuster, which re-

dent the complete power to arm
merchantmen, and thereby be put in
a position where he might make war,
without Congress declaring war.

MONOPOLY AND COST OF LIVING

~
With all due regard for the wisdom
Of Senator owen wen have to confess
that in our opinion he was going
'leetle' strong when he presented the
bill for the high cost Of living to the
supreme court. 1t is probably true
that the Octopus" has had something
to do with increasing the price Of GER
tain commodities but the economist
will tell you that monopoly has been
only minor factor in bringing about
the present situation. Moreover, it
isn't exactly true that "monopolies are
able to raise their prices to any point
they please for the reason that when
the price is raised to point which
makes it prohibitive, consumption is
diminished and it makes hole in the
profits Of the monopoly.
1t is pretty wen known that the ma
ior causes contributing to the high
cost of living are increased demand on
supplies that have been diminished by
the withdrawal of millions Of workers
from productive industry to engage in
killing each other, short crops, and the
shrinking purchasing power Of money,
due to increase in quantity. OF course
a variety of other factors enter into
it and one of them is the ability of
men engaged in certain lines of busi-
ness to take advantage Of the opportu-
nifty to raise prices arbitrarily and thus
reap profits that are not justified by
the conditions of supply and demand.
The latter, we believe, to be true of
the paper industry.
1t is dangerous to generalize about
matter which presents so many
phases and in which so many elements
are involved. We hold no brief for
the defense of the octopus" being
strictly opposed to him and his whole
family, but certainly Senator Owen
departed from his usual clear thinking
when in his letter to the Housewives
league Of Oklahoma City he charged
the entire account to the supreme
court which construed the antitrust
act IN wav that makes reasonable

THE HOUSEWIFE GETS HER
MONEYS WORTH

Time was when the housewife prac-
ticed loose methods in purchasing her
foodstuffs.
But not in this age Of the high cost
Of living. Today she practices bust
ness methods, and she makes it a point
to get her moneys worth.
In her selection of foodstuffs she de-
votes much thought. She studies the
food market and familiarizes herself
with the different brands of foods.
When she strikes the right article
