 The federal government can cut the high cost of living. It can be done at one blow-by forcing a re- duction in the price of bread. The ready in the hands of the govern ment grain corporation. Here is how the subsidy would work out: Flour mills would continue to pay farmers the basic price Of $226 busnei guaranteed by the government The grain corporation would refund to the millers a set amount-say. $1 bushel making payment from the $1,ooo,0 ,0oo,- 900 fund that was provided by con gress for guaranteeing the price of wheat. Wheat would thus cost the miller only $1-25 bushel and hour would come from the mill at price correspondingly low. Cheaper flour would result in cheaper bread. The it's licensing system, would set the new price at which the miller must sell four. It would also set the price at which the baker must sell bread. Tn order that the public reap full ad- vantage of the subsidy. prices charged by miller. flour retailer. baker and bread seller must be reduced in exact proportion to the cut in wheat price at the mills. The machinery for handl- ing all this is for. the most part all ready in existence in the auditing and checking-up branch of the govern ment's licensing system.-Waterbury Democrat.
 If the railroad workers of the country are to succeed with their fight to force governnRnt ownership of the railroads, it should not be under their proposed plan of sharing profits with the railroad workers. The mill lions of Americans who do not earn their living by working on railroads believe that they also have interests that should be protected and it will be hard to convince them that the railroads should be run primarily for the benefit of the railroad workers. Combining their demands upon Con gross with strike that threatens less wages go to figures tNat suit them makes a bad argument for the type of government ownership that the railroad workers are demanding Waterbury Republican.
 There is 9 good deal of mystery on the meat question. Who gets the money that the people pay for their meat? The packers claim that they receive a profit so tiny that you can hardly notice it-one quarter of q cent a pound. or something like that The men who raise the cattle say that the price they receive is hardly more than living wage for the work involved. And finally the retailers say that they are not growing rich. but that on the contrary the really made more money in the old days when meat sold for a great deal less and people bought more of it.

Most of This Years Championship Aggregation Will Be Back in Fold Next Season.

Pittsfield, Sept. 5.--When the sea- son of 1920 opens the Pittsfeld base ball team should be in a position to make a fight from the start. This will rob the fans of the sensational spurt of the team of 1919, which won 31 of the last 37 games played pre- Nious to the winning of the pennant. The club will lose some players. Wen dell received his release on the day following the close of the season. This was in compliance with an ar rangement made when Wendell joined tho club. Fortune and Devine are to go to the majors. Negotiations which have been under way for some time are likely to be ConSummated yester- day. Every other player on the team is the property of the Pittst1eld club. There is a possibility, however, that some of them will not return. It would not be surprising if two or more of the players were drafted or taken on by teams in a higher class than the Pittsfeld club. While the pittsficld management would be pleased to see all the players return, yet they are more anxious to have them "go higher" In baseball.
