HITTING TAP ROOT
OF LIVING COST.


blame the merchants and storekeep-
ers for the increased cost Of living.
1t is doubly wrong:-first, because it
is unfair to these people, and second,
because the publicity connected there
with directs the peoples attention
away from the real cause and the real
cure. 1t likewise is wrong to blame
high prices onto high wages, or vice
versa. Both are relative and always
will be. When expressed in dollars
neither prices nor wages mean any
thing. 1t does us no good to get $40
a day and work only six hours day
if this means that bread will be 81 a
loaf. A discussion of either wages or
prices alone is like arguing which ex-
listed first, hen or an egg. We have
fooled ourselves long enough by put
ting our thumb on the thermometer
bulb. It is high time that we went
down cellar and put some coal in the
furnace. The increased cost of liv-
ing can be reduced only by increased
production or decreased consumption,
or by both. When production exceeds
consumption, the cost of living de-,
clines; but when consumption exceeds
production, the cost Of living increas-
es.
Usually, the cost of living is re-
duced through the latter method
namely, be reducing consumption.
This comes aboat by prices getting
so high that people curtail their buy
ing to point which makes prices de-
cline. When prices begin to decline,
they fall further than is needed, be-
cause people get panic stricken and
refuse to buy on falling market. ev-
en- for their legitimate needs. Hence,
in accordance with the law Of equal
and opposite reaction, prices on de-
clining market fall as far below their
normal, as they rise above their nor
NAL during boom times. This is why
the cost of living declines during a
business depression even though the
production falls off and unemploy-
ment is common.
The ideal way to reduce the cost
of living is by increasing production!
Reductions in the cost Of living which
come through reductions in oonsump-
tion are only temporary. AS soon as
business picks up and people again
become employed the cost of living
again begins to climb and we are
worse off than ever before. This ex-
plains why all the commissions and
other attempts to reduce the cost Of
living during the past decades have
failed. The high cost of living is a
necessary reaction to the grasping
attitude which 95 per cent of US take
toward life. We are taught to get all
we can and give as little as we can.
AS long as only comparatively few
families had this grasping nature
things went on very well. In our ia.
thers' days enough people had the
right point of view toward life to
keep the rest fed, clothed and housed
on decent basis. We are like par
ty in rowboat. AS long as we all
row, we get along finely. One, even,
may loaf and still we make progress
Now, however, almost everyone is
Stacking on his oars, 'and the boat is
stopping. We can get on with few
robbers. The country will stand a
certain amount Of burglary and still
prosper; but when all turn burglars,
production falls off and prices shoot
up. That is what we are up against

CHICAGO MAN BUYS FAMOUS
CALIFORNIA ISLAND.
VIM. Wrigley, Jr., Heads Company
Purchasing Santa Catalina.
Vast Resort Planned.

Los Angeles, Cal. March 15-One
of the biggest real estate deals ever
put over in California is now an as
sured fact and details can be fur
nished by the interested parties.
Mr.. VIM. Wrigley, Jr., manufac-
turer of the famous "Wrigley Spear
mint" one of the chief stockholders
in the Chica Cubs ball team and
an officer and director in a total of
fifteen enterprises in various parts
of the United States, is the head and
controlling interest in company
which has taken over Santa Catalina
Island. The purchase price is close
to 100000 and several millions
more will be spent to make the island
the great show place of the Pacific
Coast.
Included in the transfer are prac-
tically all of the $4,000 acres of the
Island, the new 100000 Ste. Cath
crime Hotel and its appurtenanCeg,
ten thousand head of sheep, two large
steamers which ply between San Ped
TO and the Island, fleet of glass
bottom power boats and other prop
erty of the Santa Catalina Island
Company.
1--WE intend to make Santa Cata-
lima Island the greatest summer and
| winter resort in America" said Mr..
Wrigley. Developments will pro-
gress as rapidly as possible and when
business warrants We will put on
| more steamers. There is room for
half million new cottages on the
Island and a second new hotel is
projected for early completion. 1T is
my plan to make this gem of the
| Pacific a resort of such attractive
ness that it will be the mecca for
visitors from all parts of the coun-
try"
Just as we have looked to adver-

Mr.. Wrigley, 80, shall we make
known the fame Of Catalina Island.

ond largest transport afoat, also nav
.ng the second best gun crew in the
world. With us sailed the sister
ship, Mt. Vernon, and a French ship,
all carrying American soldiers and
supplies.
We made the trip in eight days.
Twice we sighted submarines and
ired twelve shots thinking we had
sunk one. We were we'll guarded
for nearly four days by Uboats and
submarines. About half of our
troops were colored and many conf
cal sights were presented at certain
dangerous times by those poor scared
negroes. Some threw away their dice
and cards and got out their tesla
ments, reading and praying, making
confession and declaring they would
remain foreign negroes the rest
of their lives. We were we'll fed
while on our ship.
On arriving at Brest, France, We
were sent to rest camp. We were
next given a French train ride which
seemed novel to US as railroads and
locomotives are like the first America
had We Travelled for a night on the
train and arrived in little town
called Nussac, close by river. We
got Off here and camped the best We
could for ten or twelve days. We
were then marched twenty-five miles
to a large artillery camp where we
took a six weeks course in firing and
training. This large camp is locat-
ed on high hill and the surround
ing country looks very beautiful.
There are many German prisoners
here who work for our Government.
Had chance to converse with some
of them and find that they are well
satisfied with the treatment received
from Americans.
You people back home cannot real
ize what a perfectly wonderful Ma
ton our Z. S. A. is, and the wonder
full treatment it gives us over here.
You all were asked to save for us
and we are surely having it. The
vastness of our Nations preparation
here for us cannot even be estimated.
Americans in Paris print a daily
edition of the New York Herald,
which gives all the news here and
lots of L. s. cable news.
The United States is teaching
France and the Allies a great lesson
in industry and progress, besides haE-
ing helpel to win the war. The Y
and Red aCross are surely doing a
great work for our soldiers and we
could never do without either of
them. We have been through lots
of experiences, and have met up with
many kinds of people, which is an
education in itself, and worth very
much to us.

The statistics relate to the years

spectiVely The total horsepower in
1917 was $500, an increase of 325
per cent as compared with 1912, and
for the preceding five years the rate
of increase was 1876 per cent. AL
though steam supplied the greater
part of the horsepower at each of the
three censuses for which figures are
given, no water power being report
ed, there was rapid increase in the
amount of power derived from in
ternal combustion engines-from 420
horsepower in 1907 to $50 in 1912
and to 6,757 in 1917 The total
dynamo capacity, 5,762 kiloWatts in
1917, shows an increase of 34.4 per
cent as compared with 1912, the rate
Of increase during the preceding five
year period being 1858 per cent.
The output of current generated in
1917 was 26,009,144 kiloWatt hours,
representing an increase Of 41.9 per
cent over 1912, as against decrease
Of 30.6 per cent for the period o
1907-1912. The decrease from 1907
to 1912 was due to the fact that one
of the largest electric companies in
the state, which in 1907 generated is
current, in 1912 purchased current
from an electric railway COMPANY
Similar conditions also prevailed,
but to lesser extent in 1917 as com
pared with 1912. The number of
arc street lamps decreased slightly
from 4,474 in 1912 to 4,295 in 1917

increased in number from 4,451 to
1886, or 63.2 per cent.

This is the message the Advertis-

The reason for the Buy Now

members who are members of the
Cabinet:
''The Unemployment of returning
soldiers, sailors and marines is the
patriotic duty of the whole people.
Industry cannot absorb these
men and take care of men already
employed, unless there is a demand
for industrial products.
"All commerce rests finally upon
the individual purchases of the peO-
Pile.
"When people buy, business is
good, when people cease buying, in
dustry slackens.
"The nation is in a period of transi
ton from a war to a peace basis

GOVERNORS AND MAYORS WILL
GET BEHIND CAMPAIGN TO
STIMULATE BUSINESS.

The Governors and Mayors in at
tendance on the recent Washington
| conference appear to have been con
WINGED, pretty generally, of two
things: There is to be no immediate
or marked reduction in the price of
building materials and labor wages,
and an immediate resumption of
building and construction activities
throughout the countyr, more than
any other one thing, is essential if
business is to get back to the "as
usual basis of peace, or the ''better
than usual possibilities of the pres
ent and future.
Some went to the conference be
lieVing materially lower prices nigh
be had if the Federal Government
would Just do something" Others
were convinced that the situation
would take care of itself if the Gov
ernment would do nothing but keep
its hands off business and let the
law of supply and demand run its
course. These latter were disposed
to believe prices in the building and
construction industries We're too
high.
For this reason a statement bv
