MUST NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH.

There is danger that the hopeful
statements of President Wilson and
other government agents regarding the
early reduction of the cost of living
will raise false hopes in the minds of
the public. 1t cannot be reasonably
expected there will be any permanent
reduction in the cost of living at pres
ent. There may be a temporary halt
in the advance of food prices but the
effects of war conditions are likely TO
be felt for many months, if not for a
few years.
History indicates this. The Civil
war closed in 1865 but prices did not
drop until 1868. Statistics for that pc
Rod show that the price of numerous
articles fell from 1865 to 1866, rose
from 1866 to 1867 and that few arti
cles rose in price from 1867 to 1868. A
printed opinion on conditions at the
opening of 1868 said:
cit is not infrequently the misfor-
tune of great wars that they leave be-
hind them general enhancement of
prices; and it is in the nature of things
standard should be slow. The fact that
the production of the country is inter
rupted during hostilities, and further,
that the supplying and equipment of
the forces involve a very wasteful ex-
penditure joined to induce a general
scarcity; and with scarcity comes its
consequence high prices. In such cas-
es there is apt to be no return except
so far as there is recovery of the for.
mer reserve supplies. And yet to this
process of accumulation there are OBJ
, stacles which are to be overcome only
1 through the operation of tardy causes
The loss of stalwart producers has to
be compensated by the conversion OF
j former non-producers into producers;
| q large amount of labor has to be OK.
acted from muscle; invention has tc
bring forth its labor saving contri
vances and for all these results not
months but years are required. .
That opinion of 1868 very accurate
lily describes conditions of 1919; ant
people will do well to remember the
history of those times when listenin,
to the rosy predictions of politicians
of today.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL RABIES.

The usefulness of the federal trade
commission is seriously threatened by
its acute attack of government owner
ship or control. If it is only the re-
suit of dog days its warped judgment
may recover; but, if it is permanently
infected with government control bugs,
it might as well close its doors, cut off
its expenses and retire to private life.
Insisting that the packing business
of the country should be controlled by
the government it recommends that re-
frigerator cars be declared govern
ment monopoly and icing stations
seized by the government A more I'M
businesslike or wasteful method could
not be suggested.
The public will turn its eyes toward
the acres of government owned auto
mobiles spelling in the open air at
Camp Holabird for an example of gov
eminent efficiency; to the thousands of
free passes issued to government
agents over all lines of government
controlled railroads and for Pullman
cars for an example of government
