The per capita circulation Of
money in the United States on March
1 reached the high water mark Of
$4426, compared with 1880 On Feb
ruary 1 and with 1854 year ago.
However, the American people have
to pay more than the difference from
a year ago in increased prices for
the commodities necessary to exist
ence. But the fact remains that no
one need be out Of a job.

The long wind swens against the night
And drives in broken ranks the sulen clouds;
The damp earth numbs beneath a freezing blight,
AS mournful darkness bows it's head and shrouds
The stricken world in grief.
o will the morrow bring relief!
Behold the morn The is dripping gold i.
Across eastern sky all shot It'll flame;
The shuddering earth awakens to behold
The sweet transfguration--to proclaim
The utmost JOY of Heaven
Hosanna Christ is risenl

Artificial Price Control

Trade associations are declared to
engage in activities tending artificial
ly to control prices and the channels
of distribution" Making public all
the records and files of these ~associa-
tions is recommended as a remedy.
More effectively to check the mon
opolized" petroleum industry, the
common stock ownership in
tons which have been members OF a
combination dissolved under the Shire
mar antitrust law, and legislation
which would make the owners of stock
in naturally" or "potentially'' COM
peting companies responsible for any
acts which the various companies
which they controlled performed to
prevent competition.

WASHINGTON-Price fixing must
be extended to iron and steel and many
other products, the federal TRADE COM
mission declare in its annual report,
submitted to congress today.
Far greater power over business is
necessary if the government is to act
for the protection of it's citizens from
profteering and unfair trade practices,
the commission asserted. 1t recon-

by railroads of coal mines to which
favoritism is shown in supplying cars.
This, it is declared, accounts for much
car shortage" elsewhere, and keeps
coal production so per cent under its
capacity production.
Railroads which own anthracite
mines are accused of another offense
obtaining from the I. c.. G. "extor-
tionate freight rates on the coal they
ship. Increased costs are passed on
to the consumer.
