What Sort of Economics Is This7

st. Paul Pioneer Press: One of
the causes Of high prices is scarcity
of commodities and an unsatisfied
world demand. Increasing production
is one way to lower living costs.
Labor demands that living costs be
lowered and then calls strike, tho
result of which is curtailment Of
production and continuance Of one of
the reasons for high prices. One of
the best ways we know TO get prices
down is to work for it-and to work
hard!

REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.

This government is in theory representative
government; the people govern by electing rep
resentatives to perfect and pass legislation and
executives to administer the laws This is the
theory. What is to be the practice? This is
the moot question now and on the answer that
congress and administration give to it hangs the
fate of the republic as we have known and loved
1T.
1T is useless to call names; it is useless for
one faction to belabor another with allegations
OF soviet proceedings and class warfare. The

resentatives Of the people into Legislative actor

Standardized dress means dress
that is designed to be worn for all oc
casions. Much has been said concern
ing it, but so far not much has beer
done toward that end
In the United States there are too
many occasions and too many types
OF people to make ii as nearly pos
sible to develop standardized dress
as in some Of the European or Asiati''
countries, where the population Is
homogeneous and mobile In Japan a
national costume Is worn much stand
aidized. In the United States no such
national costume is possible for the
reason that there are too many ma
flonalitieS represented. A few steps
have been made toward standard zed

which means that the wardrobe con

Conceded TO be one Of the most
