June 80 last, amounting to s13,632,7 9a,
not only showed an increase of $751;
l25 over the previous year, but they
were the largest on record Morris
Mcdonald, president, in the report
says this result was brought about TO
a large extent from a heavier tonnage
of paper, pulp and lumber carried.
An increase of $l,529,364 in operating
expenses was attributed to advances in
the wages of trainmen and enginemen,
as provided by the Adamson law; the
severe weather conditions during jan
uary, February and March, scarcity Of
vessels and the consequent increase in
ocean rates, and advances in prices of
materials and supplies.
The years income applicable to divi-
dends was $1.195,S52. compared with

rather than diminished by the resto-
ration Of peace. Germany is bare of
supplies, and the thousands OF
spindles in the cities controlled by
the Central Powers must be set
going as soon as constructive pur-
suits are resumed. The transforma-
ton in the cotton markets since the
days of the "buy-a-bale' movement
has been one of the most interesting
phenomena of the European war pc
riod. Three years ago the bankers
were organizing relief committees TO
lend money TO the planter, Wash
ington authorities were depOsitlng
money with the Southern banks to
enable them 10 make heavy advances
upon cotton bills, and the plight of
the country which had to get along
with seven-cent cotton constituted,
in the judgment of many, financial
tragedy OF the war. Since then tne
dream of 25-cent cotton has been
realized, the market has bid much
higher prices for exceptional grades,
and the entrance of the United
States into the war has forced the
purchase for this government of one
million bales a year for the manu-
facture of explosives alone. The
South is entering upon a period of
great prosperity, and instead Of
being a one-crop country, as it so
long was, it is coming to be great
field for manufacturing activity. The
South's corn crop this year will
break all records.

Beyond the Bounds of
Economic Orthodoxy
By Charles Ferguson

Columbus sailing into unknown
seas is said to have been smitten
with the awful thought that he had
perhaps passed beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the God of European faith.
Even so the fnanciers and political
economists, afOat now in the I'M
charted currents of the great war,
are afflicted with occasional miSgiv-
ings as to whether they may not
have sailed beyond the boundaries Of
their orthodox doctrines into regions
where supply and demand and
other venerated ordinances Of the
school and counting house do not any
longer apply.
However, there are some sturdy
doctors quite undisturbed by such
, doubts. Carl Snyder is one of these.
Writing in The New York Tribune
of August 26, with perfect consecu-
tiveness and lucidity, he proves to
his own satisfaction and perhaps TO
the full content of many of his read
ers that when the government lowers
a price by law the effect is simply to
restrict the output of a commodity
and that that is the end Of the
matter.
/ Now, have nothing to say for the
wisdom of the attempt now being
made to cheaper goods by executive
decree-eXcept this, that it is better
than not to make any attempt at all.
The right way to lower prices is to
create new financial and commercial
corporations so powerful that they
can guarantee promotion and a ca
reer to all the ablest producers
those who know how to increase the
purchasing power of everybody's
days work by lowering production
costs and overhead charges.
If business men positively refuse
to undertake such a renovation of
the business system the Administra-
ton at Washington must continue to
make its desperate effort to avoid, OF
at least postpone, the catastrophe
that belongs at the end of every pc
nod in which prices rise and keen on
rising, in disproportion to purchas-
ing power. Those who ask US to
leave things to natural law" as Mr..
Snyder does, need to learn that there
are natural laws of economics as of
chemistry, that blow experimcnters
through the roof.
/ Mr.. Snyder. expresses a COM
Ilacency in the presence of the nat
ural laws of economics that posi-

lively purrs-like a kitten cuddled
up to warm brick. 1t is pathetic.
He admires, for example, the in
dubitablc fact that under our iaisse:
fare tradition-giving nature its
free course without let or hindrancc
of any social intelligence-the profit
that an investor can get from any
agricultural field or manufacturing
plant measures in general the SUI
pcriority Of that field or plant to the
poorest field or plant that can be
operated This is a terrible truth to
people unschooled in orthodox com
placencies. 1t amounts to confess
SION that the investing class gets
every bit of the gains, honors and
advantages accruing TO modern tech
nology and high tensioned tool power
leaving the mass of the people to
live as best they can at the level of
the poorest fields and factories.
1t is precisely this state of affairs
this assignment of the general
public to "A permanent status of live
lihoOd on q basis of maximum awk-
wardness and disability-that has
now come to its day Of judgment.
Mr.. Snyder says, let this state of
affairs alone. But he is whistling in
the teeth of a gale. The tempest has
teen let loose and we cannot breast
it with the resources Of yesterday.
They were the resources of weakness.
And it is necessary now that we be
strong.
That we have passed far beyond
the bounds Of Mr.. Snyder's ortho-
doXy is evident from other kinds Of
considerations also-for example,
this:
What is known as the law of sup
ply and demand has become irrele-
want, because war has made the de-
mand for goods absolute and prac-
tically infinite.
Now, as the war demand for good,
passes beyond the limits Of the sup
ply that is possible under the existing
business system, level increase of
price all along the line can have no
effect whatever upon either the vol
TINE or the proportions of produc-
ton. 1t is, indeed, possible for this
absolute and practically infinite de-
mand to force production out of some
channels and into others, but such
redistribution of effort can be accom-
pliShed as effectively by doubling
prices as by quadrupling them. What
is the use, therefore, of letting prices
90 through the ceiling and up into
the blue sky?
That is precisely what they were
doing when the government stretched
forth its hand to stay the fight of
wheat, coal, sugar and SO on.
The demand being absolute and
practically infinite, and payments be-
ing made by the government with
drafts upon the infinite. e., with
blanket mortgages upon posterity-
the government was free, if it had
chosen to do so, to write trillions and
quadrillions in place of billions.
|, for one, approve of the govern
ment's action in stopping at billions.
And | think that no complaint should
lie against the Administration for
the general intent Of its price-fixing
policy. The fault lies with the I'M
social and unscientifc business sys-
TEN that has driven the government
to such extremities.
