Prices and Legislation

The acts of Congress cannot
change the laws of nature.
The hullabaloo about regulating
prices is well meant, but absurd
Because prices regulate themselves.
The only reason the American
people are paying sixty cents a
pound for bacon. $12 for silk SHIRTS
and SIS for shoes, is because they
want to If they refused to pay
these prices. the storekeeper would
mark down their goods.
In the whirl of hysteria we have

ed. But the profiteers are a drop
in the bucket. To attempt to stay
the movement toward higher prices
by legislation, or by prosecutions, is
like trying with broom to sweep
back the advancing tide.
When your salary is raised from
1000 to $4,000 year. you don't
60 on living on $1,000 and save the
other ST 900; on the contrary, you
spend more, buy more and better
goods, and are in luck if you do not
find your expenses $4,000. That is
human nature. And human nature
operates just as certainly on a mil
lion people or on nation as it does
on an an individual. We are all
making more money than ever be-
fore.
That is one of the causes of high
prices.
The other is that we are not pro-
ducing as we should. Every strike
helps to boost prices, because it
stops production. II stands to rea-
son that the less goods manufactur-
ed the more they cost. The labor
unions and the trusts 90 hand in

And the more they fight each other
the higher the prices soar.-Frank

Meat COMPARISONS

eat greater proportion of beef,

estimates of the per capita consump-

United States Department of Agri-
culture. This is the first adequate
information concerning the meat
consumption of various sections of
the country, and of the city and
country population, that has ever
been obtained. The figures in the
estimates represent pounds of dress
ed weight as would be sold by the
butcher.
The total meat consumption per
capita is 9 per cent greater in the
country than in the city. and ex-
cess in varying degrees is found in
every one of the customary geo.
graphical divisions. Beef consump
ton is nearly two-thirds greater in
the city than in the country. In
both veal and mutton consumption
per capita the city exceeds the coun-
try. veal by 119 per cent and NUT
ton by 43 per cent. and there is a
varying preponderance of the city
consumption in all sections, except
that mutton consumption per capita
is greater in the country in the
West-that is. between the Great
Plains and the Pacific Ocean. If
beef. veal. and mutton are combin-
ed, the city exceeds the country 10
per capita consumption by two
thirds.
What the country loses in COM
parison with the city in the per
capita consumption of beef. veal,
and mutton is more than offset by
what it gains in the consumption of
pork and poultry. These are the
meats, if poultry may be called
meat. that are more especially adapt
ed to the country than the others.
The per capita consumption of pork
and poultry in the country is every
where above that in the city, and
for the United States as a whole
the country is higher by nearly two
thirds for pork and more than one
half for poultry.
The city consumes more beef,
veal. and mutton per capita than it
does pork and poultry by 9 per
cent, but the country consumes
more pork and poultry per capt. a
than the other meats by $50 pei
cent; and in the city pork and poul
try are IS per cent of the total meat
consumption Oncludine poultry
and in the country II per cent.
Beef, veal, and poultry consump.

North than in the South, but in
pork consumption the South is
