BABSON WARNS BIG BUSINESS

Roger w. Babson, head of Babson's Statisti-
cal Organization, Inc, which furnishes reports
to merchants, bankers and investors, has sent
.out a Barometer Letter. in. which the lessons
of the war are discussed. This letter raises the
question, Shall we all voluntarily give up some
thing, or shall we all run the risk of losing
everything q The answer, Babson tells his bust
ness clientele, depends upon whether or not we
are willing to profit by the real lesson Of the war
If we are willing to let the bulk Of manual work
ers of this country peaceably retain the prestige
and privileges which the war has given them
if we are wiling 70 run the country n : the 1sa inter 4ha
inheritors of property, then we can head off dis
aster. If, however, the financial and business
interests Of the United States and allied nations
attempt to return to pre-wa economic condi-
tions then here surely will follow an explosion.

TOWN BOOSTING

It would be hard for some visitor from the
planet Mars or other place where our methods
were not known, to grasp our methods Of town
building. We spend money for commercial clubs
and literature. We blacklist the man who says
anything against the old town. And then as soon.
as we are getting something coming in the d-
rection of the town, up go the land values SO
that the something" is either driven away or
finds it difficult to exist or pay the rent.
The Bellingham (Wash.) Journal touches off
the recent Seattle experience along this line as
follows:
"Just as soon as the city began to flourish in
dustrially, the landlords began. boosting rents
with the result that the cost of living has stead
lily enhanced until it is worse in Seattle after the
war than it was during it. High real es~tatesval-
ues directly interfere with industrial develop
ment. Industries can not make good in cornmun-
tiles where the workers are overtaxed for the
benefit of the landlords. Seattle probably will
have to take another slump before the property
owners will learn sense. It is a question if the
shipbuilding industry can stand a raise in wages
at this time, and if the men can not afford to
work at current rates the result will probably be
that the %shipyards will close down and the busi-
ness be transferred to places where the cost OF
living is less"
If we were really serious about building up a
town, we would devote ourselves to reducing
living costs and to putting a crimp into soaring
aspirations of the real estate sharks.

H WRONG METHOD.

Labor is altogether justified il. seeking Il
lower cost of living. 1t has been abundantly
demonstrated that there is no shred Of reason
for the prices at which many foodstuffs are
held. The trade commissions Investigations
have shown how lameptably wide is the spread
between the producer and the farm. &
But in many cases labor is going about the Sc
curing of cheaper food in the wrong way. Eff
forts are being made throughout the east to
force all storage goods upon the market, for the
purpose Of lowering the prices. There has been,
overproduction, some Of the experts allege, ass
well as monopolization by the storage trust,
and they would cure both evils by a sharp re-
duction in prices. S8sS
It is a question whether there has been ov-
reproduction. Certainly production has not yet
reached the point where more food has been Of
fered than the American people should absorb
provided wages were such as to permit all to
have as much nourishing food as they need.
Forcing all storage stocks upon the market1p pro
badly would force down prices and discourage
production. Then within a few months the
spectators would again have prices back up
again at the old level after, having once more,
cornored stocks, and with a lessened production
to supply needs.
North Dakota furnishes the example. The
need is for government control Of food produc-.
ton. A start is offered in the trade commits
sion's bill. 1t would supply government ware
houses and storage plants, by means of which,
the control of the food trust would be broken.
Merely to break the present level of prices,
without taking measures to prevent a recur-
renee of the present boarding of storage pro-
ducts, would almost inevitably lead to another
reign Of high prices next winter.-Courier-News

AN ASSAULT ON INDEPENDENCE

1t may be vain to distinguish between the foul
birds that roost in the foul nest of special priv
ilege politics, but if we were to make a distinc-
ton, we would award it to one Archibald Steven
son of the military intelligence bureau. Under
The p~retense of disclosing persons working with
the former enemies of the country and Of pro-
tecting the country in a war long since brought
to a conclusion, this particular bird is attempt
Ing to dlscredit persons of independent thought.
The setting of his loathsome work is a senate
committee to- investigate German propaganda,
and in ansWerNto leading questions put by sena-
tors, he reads off lists of names of leading men
and women who have shown more or less indie
p%endence of special privilege and it's d~ictation
There is not even the ~pretense that they are or
We're pro-German. He alleges that they hold
radical views. But the setting is such that the
big press can campaign against them as enemies
of the nation. A., ~,.4 ~. #s~
Particularly vicious is the mention Of many
college professors. Independent men in this pro-
fession are few because of the domineering tao
tics OF special interests on the boards of trus-
tees. They have a hard time to be even mildly
progressive. This Stevenson attack, therefore,
will enable the boards of trustees to fume
against these courageous men. The trustees will
be scandalized that one of their professors has
been mentioned in such "disreputable" comp
any. There will be a new excuse for firing many
OF them, as Scott Nearing was fired from Penn
sylvania university by Pennsylvania politicians.
But Stevenson has so overplayed his hand in
game. On his list are mild Quaker ministers
who took an interest in seeing that conscientious
DIRECTORS were better treated. On his list is the
Nonpartisan league, logged in by vicious dis
tortion Of the facts. On his list is Miss Jane
Addams, head resident of the Hull House in
Chicago, who has spent her whole life in i'm
proving the conditions of the poor and who is
held with particular reverence by all the social
workers of the country. On his list is Frederic
c. Howe, commissioner of immigration and au-
thor of many valuable books on reform. The
prescribed list of special privilege thus becomes
the honor list in the minds of all independent
thinking citizens. ~
But we have not mentioned the worst. We
made a mistake in taking the word of the kept
press that this foul bird was head of the mill
tary intelligence bureau. Secretary Baker de-
clares Stevenson has never been either an Off
GER or an employee of that bureau. The guilt of
the deception and the foulness of the act rest
heavily on the senate committee.

MEAT-AXE

Ex-President Taft is aspiring for leadership
Of that group Of so-called statesmen who would
remove the danger of bolshevism by welding
the meat axe. Without passing on the question
Of whether the vicious, results Of the work Of
these fat-head statenen in the past has made
revolution necessary in Europe, we are absolute
" certain that the way to avoid revolution is
to give people relief from oppression and not to
chop off their hungry heads.
The Nonpartisan league program is frequent
II styled as the outgrowth Of selfish demands
Of the overselfish farmers. In fact, when we
consider the modest demands Of the special in
terests for only 80 to 100 per cent annually and
when we consider their brilliant service IA return
for such modest compensation, We wonder
whether it is not extreme selfishness for organ
lied farmers to insist on living at al.

ELIMINATING WAR

Again President Wilson surprises us with an
accurate analysis of a great evil. Appearing be-
fore the Paris peace conference in behalf of the
league of nations on January Is he said:
1--WE are to see that the very foundations of
this war are swept away. Those foundations
were the private choice of a mail coterie of
civil workers and military chiefs. Those founda-
tions were the power of small bodies of men to
WELD their will and use mankind as pawns in
a game. And nothing less than the emancipa-
ton of the world from these things will accom-
plish peace" y
No one probably could analyze the problem of
war more accurately, at least in it's immediate
aspects; yet this particular situation shows up
clearly both the strength and the weakness Of
Wilson. He can analyze a vital problem in such
form as to lead men everywhere to think he I'M
derstands it, but his remedy is always insuffic-
lent. Thus to remove war, caused by special
privilege rule, he proposes a league of nations;
whereas what is needed above all is to kill spec
ial privilege. Without taking our governments
out Of the hands of special privilege, the league
Of nations will be only a general committee of
the special privilege groups in the several great
nations. The great work of preventing war,
therefore, is on the home field; yet Wilson APP
parently fails to see this logical sequence Of his
analysis.
He has likewise said much about the trust
evil at home. His remedy Of trust busting, now
ever, was unavoidable, and the trusts flourished
more under his administration than before.
During our participation in the war he had
much to say against the evil of war profiteering,
yet for a long time he was trusting enough to
rely on 9 moral and patriotic appeal to the prof
iteers. His later and seemingly more drastic
advice to congress on the subject had nothing
in it to scare the fat boys.
While hoping, therefore, that President Viii
son may accomplish a great deal that is worth
while in Europe, we may as well make up our
minds that he is not going to solve any great
