COST OF LIVING

President Wilson went beforl
congress the latter part OF las
week and called attention TO th'
fact that something must be don'
to relieve the country of the higt
cost Of living. Herequested Ger
tain legislation to bring down this
cost of living.
Congress has shown every in.
dication to expedite legislation
along the lines suggested by the
president and there is hope that
quck action will result.
High prices, the president told
congress, we're not justified BY
shortage Of supply either present
or prospective, bot we're created
il many cases 'artifcially and
deliberately" by vicious prac-
tees" Retailers, be said, were
responsible in large part for ex.
tortionate prices.
Strikes Strikes, Il the president warned the
labor world, would only make
matters worse and those who
sought to employ threats or coer.
cion were only preparing their
own destruction" Leaders of
organized labor. the president said,
be was made sure would presently
yield to second sober thought.
Illegal" and criminal" were
the words the president used in
characterizing the methods by
which some present day prices
have been brought about.
Present laws. be said, would be
energetieally employed to the limit
to force out food boards. and meet
the situation so far as possible, but
to supplementthe existing statutes.
he specifically urged the passage
Of other laws which he suggested
This cost of living is probleum.
and one difficult to solve. One
great trouble is found in the fact
that every one is trying to make
money out of present conditions,
and no one seems to realize that
somebody has got to lose money
if the great cost Of the war is ever
met. The money to pay this debt
must come from the people.
Sacrifices must be made some
where.
Everybody wants the cost of
living reduced. but no one is will
ing to make reduction in prices.
The farmer wants his cost of liv-
ing reduced but be wants the
prices Of the products of the farm
to continue to advance. The
merchant is anxicus to see the
price Of living cut down but be is
not willing to cut down bis profits
The laboring man and the salaried
man are exceedingly concerned
about the high cost Of living but
unwilling to cut their wage or
reduce their salaries. So it is
with the professional man and
those who prosper BY speculation.
Everyone is anxious but also
DESTROYS that the reduction shall
effect the other fellow.
It is clearly shown that pr ices
are not regulated by the natural
law Of supply and demand. They
are the work largely of the prof
teer.

Thoughts
As They Occur
To the Editor
THE HOGS
WE LOVE TAEM

We have much discussion recent
ly about hogs in and hogs out.
Frankly we dislike 10 hear SO
much about hoss and filth III the
same breath because We sure do
love our spareribs.
There Is. of course, no real argu-
ment in favor of permitting hogs to
be raised in centers Of population
even those who raise hogs realize
that the unsanitary conditions with
the resultant menace TO health,
more than offset any possible ad-
vantage. SO far as the cost Is CON
cerned. everyone who raised hogs
in Martinsburg this year-even if
the hog lived until butehering day
lost money through not buying
grown hogs on the market today
for he butchering.
However. there is one way to set
tie the whole matter--noW- before
the new pigs are bought That way
Is for the mayor and council to get
up sufficient backbone and sauer-
kraut to face u, issue without at
tempting to shift the responsibility
to the salvation Army, Chamber of
Commerce or the Ladies' Tuesday
Club.

The man or woman who, under

not only makes more money for
