EXPERTS DISAGREE.
Economists Held Divergent Views as
to the II. c. Of L.

Even the economic experts do not seem
TO agree to the cause o. the high prices
For our own part we long since accept
cd the common theory that the high cost
OF living Is ION account Of the war. We
learn from one of the high authorities
that any number of people are more or
less OF this view In forming an opinion
on any subject it is always easier to go
with the crowd, and undoubtedly 1t IS
this general tendency that results IN form
ing the crowd and establishing popular
opinion
But -our more ahtruse experts do not
accept this explanation One says that
'the expansion of credit IS the cause
of the rise in the cost OF living, while
another sagaciors economist declares that
the high cost Of living is the cause Of the
expansion Of credit The advocate Of the
first theory asserts that the average Of
commodity prices did not begin to Use
until year and three months after the
war had begun and that prices were
slightly lower in October 1915, than IN
| July, 1914 Prices began to riaa after a
| hinge influx Of gold had set in. and on
the basis Of gold there began heavy eX-
| pansion of bank credits.
| This theory looks plausible to us, TT
| for that matter an economic expert cab
make any theory lool; plausible We sus-
peet that it is this genius for making
/ things look plausible that Is responsible
| foi the operations of high finance and
various eet-rich-quick schemes. But the
thing that looks plausible to us s not
always true and experts in various lines
are frequently found tn b. wrong.
The expert who declares that "eXpan-
sion of credit is the cause remarks that
Some day even the housewives viii be
interested enough to know the truth
/ For that matter we may safely assert
that all the househusbands will be suffi-
leientiy interested, too. Every one is al
tready interested enough to want to know
1.-THE truth, but to be able to sift the truth
tout of the mass OF conflicting testimony
Ecalls for 4 special gift. We may doubt
If housewives and househusbands in gen
leral will ever he able to learn the truth
lin this matter.
4 In various manifestations IN life there
is a peculiar difficulty in tracing the proc
esses Of cause and effect 1t may be
easy enough to establish the connection
but when all is finished there is otter
an ohseurity as to which is cause anc
(which is effect. Very likely financial dag

found the intricacies Of finance matter
conducive to extreme dizziness. As we
lool, at it, this maiady known as the H,
G. of l.. is almost precisely the same as a
pernlclous case OF nervous indigestion
After the doctor gets through explaining
your condition, YOU are absolutely unable
to determine whether your nerves are the
cansc of the indigestion or whether the
indigestion has reacted on the nerve cen
tcrs and produced the upset. The doctors
themselves are usually uncertain. One
viii attempt to correct the indigestion,
while the next one will treat your nerves
and depend on that to remedy the whole
trouble
Anyway, it is obvious that the II. c. OF
l. needs a doctor, whether it is the cause
or the effect of the expansion of credit
, If it can be cured by shrinking credit lei
credit be shrunk, by all means. But in
the first place it looks as il the experts
would have to agree on the diagnosis. II
seems to us rs if there might be several
contributory causes for the high cost oi
| living that have not been mentioned

MARBLE CAVES OF OREGON.
One of Them is 500 Feet Long and
100 Feet High.

Amid the wilds of southwestern Oregon,
almost unknown to the world at large, il
situated a series OF underground chambers
and passages remarkable for their size and
for their beauty and unusual character
Of their decorations. Within the last feqv
years they have been made national
monument, and are now known as the
Marble Caves of oregon
At the present time a visit to the caves
is no small undertaking From Grants
Pass or Aledford thrty-milc ride takes
one to the. camp at the end of the wagon
road The rest of the trip must be made
on foot or mule back up steep trail ten
miles in length. During the summer
months the Forestry Service stations a
forester at the caves as guide and care
taker He takes special interest in CON
ductng all visitors through the caves and
in pointing out to them the many interest
ing features Of the trip.
The caves consist Of three and half
miles OF marble passages and grottoes,
ranging from one to four or five stories in
height In places the connecting corridors
are so low that one must crawl on all
tours for considerable distance Else
where the chambers are so large that the
opposite walls and ceiling are scarcely
visible in the dim candle light The larg
est cavern measures over 500 feet in
length, and its arched ceiling is l00 feet
above the floor
Throughout the entire cave tho stalac
title formations are rich and wonderfully
varied. In some chambers the ceiling is q
mass of small stalactites. from the point
of which hang starlike glttering pendant.
drops of water. In one superb room the
/ roof is covered with gigantic inverted
white tulips; in another. folds of massive
draperies cover the walls. supported by
immense futed columns. Here stalactite
reach down from above and embrace then
stalagmitic sisters, thus forming pillars o
i surprising symmetry and beauty; Their,
a miniature Niagara stands outlined il
/ whit marble beyond which a magnifcen
! Solomon's Temple is carved deep into tn,
i heart of the mountain.
j The trail UP to the caves is long steer
i climb, but as one ascends, a marvelou
4 panorama of scenic beauty, Of peaks an,
4 distant vistas is spread out before him
which, even apart from the caves, make
the trip one long to be remembered am
well worth the effort it has taken.-PoT

SHARP TALK TO FARMERS.
They Are Cautioned Against Profteering
in Food Products.

What il prontecring? Who practices
it2 As quite generally understood, it
means 4 profit that is abnormal profit
eNacted because the country is at war
aud il thus forced to pay the'price asked.
The farmers have been quite outspoken
in their denunciation OF the millers. pack
ers, steel mills. bankers, and other inter
c-t-. accusing them of proftcering while
the country was sacrificing its men in a
noble crusade against mlitarism. Per
haps these and great many more have
been guilty of this base commercial
greed. There Is no excuse for it in any
quarter, But are the farmers justified in
demanding as they did in certain see
tions, higher price for wheat than even
the very profitable 1920 while England
paid ISL 100000 in subsidy on American
wheat from Dee. y to July l. to keep the
loaf OF bread within the reach of the
English workingman's pocketbook. A
bread riot in England would mean col.
lapse of our best ally.
The farmer who can raise beans at 3H
cents pound and demands II cents
while the price is . cents, as is reported
Of a western farmer, is a proftcer that
makes Chicago packer look like a nov
lee.

LUKE 0. YATES or CENTER IS
A HEAVY LOSER BY FLAMES

Two barns on the premises of
Luke D. Yates Of Center, together
with their contents, were destroyed
by fire Thursday afternoon of last
week. A little son of Mr. and Mrs.
Yates who was playing with mat
ches, set fire to some cotton under
a shed at one of the barns, which
spread rapidly and was sOoD beyond
any sort of control
The barns contained quite a lot
OF fine alfalfa hay, a lot of corn,
and in addition to this loss a lot of
farming implements, harness a
hack and a wagon we're consumed.
A conservative estimate places the
amount of the entire loss at $1,000.
Mr.. Yates is splendid citizen
and 9 hard worker, and has many
friends who sympathize with him
in this misfortune.
