7 have a theory that the main
factor in the high cost Of living is the
present great scarcity OF common
labor said attorney IL W Stanton
Of FL Paso. Up TO the beginning OF

from Asia That was stopped during
the war The large majority Of the
men who went into the army were
laborers. mostly unskilled. so 10 speak

foreign laborers both skilled and IN
skilled. are still going back at a
prodigious rate. up to as high as 50o.-
600 a month Now the soldiers. even
those who were laborers on farms and
ranches, have become used 20 the
crowd and excitement. become more
sregarious, so TO speak, and they are
not anxious to get back to the
humdrum Of common labor and farm
life What common labor there is
! left IS expensive. and there is not
! enough Of il and the result is small
production. It is the old law Of supply
and demand say what you please. In
this connection I could not helm but
think over what the IA. 900 soldiers
were offered in the province Of
Alberta Canada Each soldier was Of
fered $50 acres Of land and $4,000 was
to be furnished on the most liberal
terms TO improve and equip it. II /
remember right there were a little
over 500 who accepted I believe Il
was changed then to an improved $50
acres and $500 offered on the same
terms As I recall. there were only
400 to 500 OF these returned soldiers
who accepted that offer The soldiers
said something like this let those
who did not fight go out on to these
farms. I am sure the high cost Of
what is ordinarily termed common
labor. due TO its scarcity IS causing a
greatly lessened production IS the
principal factor in BRINGING about the
high cost Of living First and last
common labor enters very largely into
the production Of al commodities
greatly lessen the supply OF IT, and
the result is only too apparent"
