price fixing is that the discomfort which
the rich; that is, thai while high prices
will cause every one else to forego
Injuries and cut out wastes. the rich
will still be able to indulge themselves
with comparative freedom. This, OF
course, is true. High prices will not
prevent rich people from buying what
they want. But neither will fixed Cow)
prices, or, for that matter, any Other
kind of prices. Indeed, neither will
anything the government can do unless
it confscates their wealth or adopts
and enforces a scheme of control so far
reaching in effect as to be the equiva-
lent of confscation.
The Consumption
Of Wealth
Frequently we hear the suggestion
reasonable as CONSUMPTION of men, if
not more so. There can be no quarrel
with the general idea conveyed by this
suggestion. If either the money or the
material things needed to carry on the
war could be obtained by conscripting
wealth, no doubt at least 99h per cent
of us would vote to have wealth con-
scripted. But to conscript wealth lit
orally would help us in Quitting the
army just about as little as it would
in mastering the men who compose it.
The things we need in addition to man
power are food, clothing, ammunition,

so without departing in the slightest ex-
tent from the practices which the whole
world for centuries has approved as
both right and proper.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-03-24

refer to as the law of supply and de-
mand. In the situation in which we
lind ourselves to-day it means that
prices can only rise high enough to
make it possible for the man able and
willing to do a real days work to
support his family when, and if, Ger
many can whip us. The bigger the
army German pressure compels us to
train and support, the greater the de-
mand there will be for certain COM
modities that are war and living ne
cessities. The greater the demand for
these things, the higher the prices.
Considering the war as the sole
cause of changes in prices and wages.
and it is logical to do this, because no
important changes in our economic
situation are taking place except those
that are due to the war, we can state
it more clearly thus: The "spread" be-
tween what the average man can earn
and what it costs him to live is in in
verse ratio to the pressure Germany
brings to bear upon the country.
Wages, like prices, move in obedience
to the law Of supply and demand and
are affected by changes in the volume
Of money in existence. In normal
times there is in this country com
Portable "spread" between the average
wage and the average cost of living
High Prices
And the Rich
That is, prices cannot rise to such a
point that the able bodied, industrious
man cannot support his family until
we are economically exhausted. When
we set the population and wealth Of
our country and it's allies in one
column and those of our enemies in an
other we are certain that the enemy
Will reach state of economic cxhaus-
ton before we even approach it. and
therefore we are certain that prices
here cannot reach unhearable heights.
We are certainly going to win in the
end, though clearly we arc going to
waste hundreds of thousands Of lives.
II we don't pretty soon commence to
punish ourselves here at home moro
than we have so far. SO the fear that
prices might rise to "impossible
heights" is without foundation.
Inc next reason usually offered for

because he favors ten cent sugar, and
Brown defeated because he thinks it
should be eleven cents, or vicc rersu.
Utterly impossible situations arise in
every department of life; every prob
lem solved creates two more, and every

yet more serious; and so on to un-
imaginable confusion.

How Prices
Arc Determined

In word and broadly speaking, the
law OF supply and demand determines
prices. In this connection it is perhaps
proper to remind ourselves that what
we call the law of supply and demand
Is the expression in business life Of

Fails to
Speed Production

Not a single one of the activities
uttered upon by the government in
connection with prce-fxing is ca:cu-
lated to speed up production. Not even
the most optimistic and enthusiastic
supporter Of price fixing can claim that
it will do this. Indeed, the most stu
pid man alive knows to a positive Ger
tainty that it will do the exact oppo-
site. No better reason for ignoring
these activities is needed
Now to answer few of the more OBJ
vious objections to the release of
prices, or, to put it the other way, to
point out the more conspicuous fall
lacies in the argument in favor of price
fixing.
First Of all comes the argument that
if prices are not fixed the "profiteer"
will grow rich out of the hardships of
other people less fortunately stu
ated. This is no argument at all.
With just and comprehensive laws tax

is already making them do. Whether
the last increase in the income tax will
accomplish this fully enough to be en-
tirely just is question concerning
which there will be a division of opin-
not cover the matter it can be made
to do so.

MAN POWER.

We read much of man power these
days; human power is a better term,
because it emphasizes the fact that
the women and children also consti-
tute a great factor in this war. IN
the final victory every man, woman,
and child in America can and should
have part.
In comparing the man power of Ger
many with that of the United States
it must be borne in mind that a much
larger proportion of the manual labor
performed, is exerted by the German
women than by the women of Ameri-
ca. It is said that in peace times the
women constituted - per cent of the
agricultural and industrial labor of
Germany. They work in the fields. IL
the factories, in the mines, at the very
hardest and most laborious tasks, do
ing the work only done by men IN
this country. With a great proportion
of the German men in the army, it s
not improbable that women now CON
stitute by far the larger half of Ger
man manual labor.
The women of the United States are
nobly, unselfishly, manfully, one MAJ
say, bearing their share, of the bur
dens of war BY the grace of GOO and
the power and courage of America the
fate of the German women is not and
will never be theirs. But it will be
with their assistance and co-opera-
ton and their full assumption of the
burdens and duties OF the day that the
United States is to exert it's full pow
er in Kidding the world of that intol-
cradle German kultur which makes
brute soldiers of the men and slaves
of the women.
Bethlehem Steel will launch 10 steel
vessels July 4.

that the producers had hoped for was
a 25 cent price to little more than
cover the 25 per cent increase in
freight rates.
Probably the action was taken by
the Council OF Defense in order to
stimulate production, for there were
a great many little mines which could
not make money to amount to any
thing with the % IL cent price. Evil
IDENTIFY the Council decided that it was
not wise to take over the little prop
critics and allow the owners a fixed
profit on the output; that it was bet
ter to allow the big companies to
make much more money and certainly
this would stimulate them to increase
production.
Those people who have been COM
planning that the government did not
mean to be liberal to business had
their stock argument taken out from
under them by this unexpected action
Naturally this action on copper met
al created many rumors that some OF
the fixed steel prices would also be
advanced to meet additional costs of
freight and other things.
The Pulaskian., 1918-07-12

another program was given by the
Woman's Council of Defense, which
included talks by Mr.. Frank Dodge
Mrs. Erickson, DR.. Pierce and Mrs.
Rainman, followed by community
singing led by Mrs. Henegar. Every
one seemed to enjoy the day immense
ly. On the following Monday night
we were entertained at the home of
Mr., and Mrs H. e. Casey by MIS-
Bogart and a number of her pupils in
expression. Mrs. Bogard must be. a
good teacher from what we saw OF
her work, and as many OF the reclta-
tions were comic we had much
hearty laughter, which did us good.
We thank them all and hope to have
them with US again. A small adml5-
sion fee was taken, amounting to
S13.75 which we expect to put to good
use in our Red Cross work. On the
night of the Fourth many of us a.
tended the wedding of one of "ou"
girls, Miss Agner Diemer, who mar
ried Emil Hercher, of Newport News,
Va. He is in the employ OF the
government. The wedding ceremony
was performed by Brother Blaylock
of the Baptist Church, of which the
bride is a member, and as the home
would not contain the many friends
who came for the happy event, they
stood on the front porch, which was
draped with the Red, White and Blue,
and hung with Japanese lanterns. The
little bride was sweet and beautiful
in a dress of white satin trimmed
with silver embroidery with filmy veil
held in place by tiny punches of valley
lilies. She carried white roses and
valley lilies and was attended by
Miss Erma Dixon, maid of honor. Gu
lalia Ramseny and Pauline Gaske,
bridesmaids, dressed in pink and car
rying pink roses. After three weeks
they will be at home at Newport
News, Va There were many presents
and many good wishes to follow them
to their distant home.

nothing of importance in the way of

learned to knit socks, and understand
they are more needed than other gar

WEATHER REPORT.
Synopsis of Weather and Crop condi-
tions in Arkansas For the Week
Ending July 9, 1918.

Ab~thS tAsJ a~iOs
The hot. dry. weather of the past
week was unfavorable for the dovel-
opment of all crops except cotton; but
as favorable for threshing wheat and
oats Cotton is clean, fruiting we'll,
and is in good to excellent condition,
with but few reports of boil weeyil
and shedding in central and south
eastern portions. Corn, pastures, po-
tatoes and truck were seriously IN
jured in eastern and southern por-
tons, these crops being nearly de-
stroyed in some of the unfortunate
localities that were missed by the lC-
cal rains of the past month. In other
portions the dry weather was unfar-
0rable, but the injury was slight. Con-
siderable of the rice crop has been
ruined because it could not be irri-
gated in time, and the dry winds of
the past week increased the difficulty
of irrigating; but where irrigated the
crop is excellent. Sweet potatoes,
peanuts, field peas, melons, and can
teloupes are good to excellent in neat
ly all portions.
