IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

| Webster City Freem an-Journal: The

cate OF the league of nations that has
come to the attention of the Freeman
Journal Is the one to re-elect Wilson
unless the league covenant is ratified
by the senate. Even the most caustir
opponent of the league would not fol

were the case, would we declare war

Uses?
Mt Vernon Hawkeye: This ever
lasting talk about shortage of sup
plies in extenuation of high prices has
been overdone, is an excuse not an ex-
PLANTATION. The evidence that every
body's doing it, sticking on price
altogether out of proportion to the
actual increase in each stage Of Inc
trail from producer to consumer, is SO
plain that everybody can see it. It's
psychological fever We caught in
the war.
Traer Star-Clipper: People are
striking because prices are high, and
prices are high largely because people
are striking and working shorter
hours and getting go much more pay.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: The differ
ence between the man who does the
most possible work in the shortest
possible time and the man who does
the least work in the most time is
the quality and quantity on which
labor eventually will base Its de-
mands.
Waterloo Times Tribune: Most any
plan of railroad control by which the
general public would not be called
upon to stand the loss will be consid-
cred.
Carroll Herald: One of the things
that must not be lost sight OF In the
OF the railroad problem
Is service. Under government con-
troll patrons have had to put up w..h
service, so poor that the
general impression is that government
control is failure. Any system that
removes responsibility beyond the
reach of the people who maintain the
roads is bound to be a failure. Pre-
vailing conditions are almost intoler
able.
Knoxville Journal: There are as
many profiteers in the ranks Of organ

in purchasing for family needs as was the earn
er in providing the money. Money was sup
posed to be represented by concrete values or
full measure OF service, was this service
simply ministering to convenience. There is
reason to believe that revival of the old
fashioned shopping, the personal visit to the
store and the bargaining freely with the store
keeper, the careful selection of commodities and
the intimate knowledge of prices and qualities,
would, if it were nationwide, produce change
in cost of living not equaled by any other means
