It is good news to know that General Wood
has passed successfully the physical tests to
which he submitted in accordance with army
regulations. He returns to his command at
Camp Funston, Immediately, and there is as yet
no evidence that he will be called upon for more
active or important service. A wish is felt by
a vast number of our people that he might be
thus called. The war department in its retir-
ing to the background of General Wood does
not on evidence known to the public justify
itself from suspicion of an element of resent
ment influencing motive for action.

Won Hindenburg claims that the allies forced
Germany into the war Won may be a bit hazy
as to who started the war, but if he lives long
enough he will have no doubt as to who forced
Germany out of the war.

Nauvoo, Ill, inclines to the side of "wet-

AS FRANKLIN SAID.

eve are taxed twice as much by our idle
ness three times as much by our pride, and four
times as much by our folly; and of these taxes
the commissioners cannot ease us by allowing
an abatement.
These are Ben F'ranklins words and they are
worth while bordering when the war
taxes, the high prices and the government loans
combine to rouse mood of complaint. The
words are not as true now as they were ten
months ago but they are much truer than they
will be, if we do our honest duty in this war.
Our streets and public places of assembly, our
public prints are all filled with opinions as how
to win this war. Many of these opinions are
expressed by people who are not stopping to
think before they speak. It would be an i'm
proving practice to stop to think of personal
means to help win the war and Ben Franklin s
words make good basis for such thought

Cedar Rapids Republican: Score
tary of War Baker has been landed
in France. He slipped across the
ocean quietly to gain first hand in
formation as to the condition and the
needs of the American soldiers. We
must regard that as an act of wis
dom on the secretary's part. He at
least wants to be Informed. The
fact that he has made the venture
across and is there to study the sub
ject will have a good effect upon
American morale.

Japan is preparing to wait events in Siberia,
according to reports from London. At the same
time and from the same source comes report
that a move is begun in Siberia to found pro
visional government in opposition to German
Influence, and if such influence becomes menac-
ing to invite aid from the allies to overcome it
by force of arms. There are wise heads at
work in Toxic and there is little likelihood that
preeipitate action will be taken by the Japanese
government. Moreover there is good ground
for belief that an intimate understanding exists
between Japan and Great Britain. An occasion
for Intervention would bring it, swift and sure,
and such action would accord with both the al
lies and Japan's position in the war. In the
meantime European Russia holds possibilities
for Germany which it is well enough to wait
upon.

r. r. Executives
To Discuss Future
Control of Roads
Presidents Will Meet in
New York City on
December a

The views of railroad presidents
from all parts of the country, on the
issue of the time of the return of the
management of the roads to their Sc
curity holders, will be expressed or
Wednesday, December 4, at confer
ence at the Chamber of Commerce, at
65 Liberty Street. The launching OF
a campaign last Friday by the National
Association of Owners of Railroad Se-
curitics to have the railroads promptly
returned to private operation gives un-
usual significance to the forthcoming
meeting called by the Railway Execu-
tives' Advisory Committee.
Representatives of the committee in
dicated that the executives would can
vass the whole scope of the railroad
problems arising from after the war
conditions, including such matters as
the time when the railroads shall be
returned to their owners, the manner
in which more unified transportation
system shall be retained for the fut-
ure, and the settlement of financial re-
lations between the railroads and the
government.
T. De Witt Cuyler, Philadelphia
banker and railroad executive, is chair
man Of the Railroad Executives Ad-
visory Committee and the other mem
bers of the committee are: G. B. Seeger
acting chairman of the Union Pacific:
S. T. Bledsoe, general counsel of the
Atchison, Topeka Il Santa Fe; A. H
Harris, of the New York Central; E. M
Hyzcr, vice-presi dent of the Chicago &
North Western; B. F. Bush, president
of the Missouri Pacific; A. j. Earling
chairman of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul; Howard Elliott, chairman OF
the Northern Pacific; w. j. Harahan
of the Seaboard Air Line Railway;
Burlington G. Quincy; julius Krutz
schnitt, chairman of the Southern Pa.
cihc; l.. f. Loree, president of the Del
aware e. Hudson; Samuel Rea, presi
dent of the Pennsylvania system; F. D
Underwood, president of the Erie
Henry Walters, president of the At
lantic Coast Line, and Daniel Willard
president of the Baltimore & Ohio.
During the controversy over the form
that the railroad contract between the
government and the roads ehou d take
during the period of unified operation
the National Association of Owners OF
Railroad Securities and the Railway
Executives Advisory Committee worked
ependently and their views on some
of the issues were SO divergent that
they were popularity considered almost
at logger rheads. The executives there
fore, are not expected to be influenced
one way or another by the Association
of Owners of Railroad Securities, VIII icl
asserts that it won most of the con
cessions in favor of security holders
that the Director General of Railroads
yielded in making out the form Of the
contract. The executives body repre-
sents the corporate interests of 90 per
cent of the railroad mileage of the
nation.

rice Drop First;;
Then Fall in Wages
Likely, Holt Says
Believes DeAation in Peace as
Certain as Imitation
in War
By Byron w. Holt

Lower prices for commodities we con-
slider inevitable. We expect sudden
drop in prices, to be followed by a
slow but prolonged decline in wages.
Our expectations are based upon
economic laws. We prefer to pin our
1 faith to these truzty guides rather than
to our governments price-ixng COM
mittees or to Mr.. Gompers, with his
wages decrease, however great and
powerful these functiOnaries may be.
1t is about as certain that prices will
decline with peace as it was that they
would rise with war One is the recip-
rocal of the other. War withdraws
workers from the production of ord-
nary goods and by lessening their sup
ply increases their price. Peace, by re-
turning workers to farms and factories,
increases the supply of goods and,
therefore, lowers their price.
1t may have been true (though we
doubt it, except as to particular prod
ucts and for brief periods) that price
fixing committees in this country, as
we'll as in other countries, did curb
prices and check their advance for
a while. This was, perhaps, easier to do
than it will be to check the natural fall
of prices with an increasing supply of
goods.
Everybody Expects Lower Prices
1t is obvious that if 4O,00OO0O sol
diers and 20,000000 munition workers
return to the vocations of peace and
resume the production of the necessi-
ties and luxuries of life prices
and the cost OF living will decline. AS
a matter OF fact, prices will decline
even before there has been an increase
,af,
decline to discount, or partly discount
the coming supply. This they always
do and they are expected to do by all
except, perhaps, some government off
clals. Prices decline in anticipation of
an expected supply of goods, because
there are always, at least moderate
surplus supplies of goods in factories,
on merchants shelves and in the hands
of spectators (protiteers). These
supplies are hurriedly put on the mar
ket at reduced prices when peace
prices are IN prospect.
AS a matter of fact some, if not
most, of our big merchants have for
months been charging off for deprecia-
ton at the end of the war. This is
not true of most food merchants for.
because peace brings more millions to
teed and because food supplies can
not be quickly increased it is not GER
tain that the prices of meat. bread
milk, butter, etc, will decline for many
months. For reasons which we will
state later, we expect our food mer-
chants to make some costly mistakes
that will not be due entirely to the
fact that they are dealing largely in
perishable goods

By Carl Snyder

Believers in an impending fall ir
prices and wages have q very clear Gu
argument. 1t was stated in detail ir
the article by Professor B. NJ. Ander
son, published in these columns las
Monday. 1t is set forth tersely in tn.
comment of Byron w. Holt in anothe
column. The heart of it is this:
"lt is about as certain that prices
will decline with peace as it was that
they would rise with war. One is
reciprocal of the other. War with
draws workers from the production
of ordinary goods and, by lessening
the supply, increases their price.
Peace, by returning workers to farms
and factories, increases the supply
of goods, and therefore lowers their
price"
The defect of this argument is that
it completely ignores +he relative value
of money and the etfec> of huge in
crease in the money supply and does
not account for the facts.
If it were true, then one might ex-
pect that prices would rise equally in
different countries. They have not
The differences are astonishing
For example, England, of all coun.
tries, has perhaps h.d the largest pro-
portional withdrawal of workers. Ger.
many possibly next, Russia far down in
the list, and Swendcn, for example. the
least probably of any country in
Europe. The rise in prices in Sweden
has been nearly double that of Eng
land, in Germany possibly three times
