THE PRINT PAPER SITUATION.

Newspaper makers and newspaper readers, which in
cudes everyone, will welcome the finding of the U. s..
Senate Printing committee the print paper question
The committee finds that the print paper Makers in their
greed for unjust profits have imposed most unfair
burden the American press. American newspapers
Says the committee face speedy disaster unless some
means be found to give relief from excessive prices
1t strange that in these times of social unrest
any class of producers should pursue that is not
merely unpatriotc but unbusiness-like There two
ways to fix price product One way is to base it
on the costs of production in which depreciation of
chinery interest capital risks of oss and return for
personal effort and skill of owners is included in COSTS
The other way is to take advantage of whatever ext
gences the may find themselves ill., to pile
whatever prices will be paid by the rather than
go out of business In times of war; peculiar advantage
given producers who follow this latter of taking
advantage of public necessity.
The producers that the first basis establish their
business foundation They get the good will
of the consuming public. In times of extremity popular
unrest labor troubles they find that this good will is
very substantial asset 1t will pull them through many
a bad place.
Producers who follow the second get the ill will
of the public instead of the good will They will find that
when they want favors every mans hand will be against
Them In these times when many people Socialists
and others favor radical control of Industries
it is best to have The print paper makers will
do well to conciate public sentiment before it is too late
