LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

stqptly growing better, and, As 70
suit, prices must continue upward.
The only way In which high prices
can be Offset Is through thrift.
The business house is confronted
with higher costs for labor, raw mate
rial, increased rent and larger expense
IN numerous ways. There must.
therefore, be the greatest possible
amount Of efficiency. Waste OF every
kind must be eliminated, and the busi-
ness man must get absolutely 1900 in
value for every dollar of expense that
goes into his business. Otherwise he
viii soon fall behind In the race with
IDS competitors.
The same principles apply to tho
Individual. Because tho cost Of living
is high and still going higher, We must
learn to practice thrift and save on
every possible item Of expense. If We
are wage earners or employees work
ing on a saiary, self-interest demands
that We develop within ourselves tho
greatest amount of efficiency, for In
this way only viii We be able to in
crease cur income and make progress
in our various lines Of work.
Those who are well provided with
wealth have Just as much reason for
practicing thrift as de those who arc
less Fortunate. Every dollar We spend
Tor our own self OF for the benefit of
society, must be made to obtain full
value These are no days for Stacker
dollars anywhere. There never was
time in the history of our country
when efficiency, both in organized
business and with the individual, was
Is necessary IS to-day.
If We understand the principles Of
thrift, and practice them, We shall be
able to keep up with the procession.
but the way Of the unthrifty Is going
to become harder and more unhappy
continually.

Protested In London
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Aug. 4.-Managers of
London's moving picture theatres are
up in arms against an American film
producin firm which has acquired
sites for motion picture theatres in
London. Their agitation reached the
House of Commons today when
member asked the President Of the
Board of Trade whether the govern
meut was doing anything to stop It.
He was told that it did not seem to
be matter in which the government
could interfere and called the mem
bers attention to the fact that import
ed films are subject to duty.
London picture theatre managers
assert that they have been good Gus
toners of the producing company and
that the latter should not noW plan to

Wages and Production


sane and worthy argument on some of the results
Of the cycle of living and economic costs which
may not be perceived by many people,
Labor is entitled to thanks for its perception
and admission that it's high wages are disappoint-
ing 50 far as the increased money fails to give
accustomed satisfactions of wants. The unions
whose spokesman declare that the race bewteen
wages and prices should be stopped at the present
level are among the most intelligent, and there
fore the strongest, in the country. They will in
will go a step further and consider how the COW
eted satisfactions can be obtained without reduc-
ton of wages, or with reductions of wages small
Ter than the increased satisfactions of wants, or
even of luxuries and pleasures of life. All would
like to this, and most would assist in the pro-
cess of there were belief in such possibility.
What is the missing link in the argument, and
what is the answer?
When more is produced there is more to di-
vide, and wages will buy more without raising
prices. 1t is true that there has been great in
crease of production during the war, and that
prices have risen. That is the exception which
goes to prove the rule that increased production
lowers prices. The reason for the exception is
that the increase of production during the war is
limited to goods and services for which there is
strictly limited demand, and for the purpose of
destruction rather than of satisfaction of general
wants. During war the production of universally
wanted goods decreased in something like due
proportion to the increase of such articles as
munitions. Even stocks of general goods are de-
pleted by the diversion of productive effort In
other directions. The resultant decrease of sup
ply in proportion to demand is the chief cause of
the high cost of living. When productive effort
is restored to peaceful proportion the result will
be increase of supply, and the cost of living will
fall, if the advice of the railway is taken and
the increase of nominal wages is stopped.
1t is easy to supply examples under the
theory. The British Board of Trade says that for
the first twenty weeks of this year the produc-
ton Of coal was 24O, 900 tons, compared with
287.00O,O00 in the last pre-war year. In both
years the number of miners was the same. How
is it that in normal times, with lower demand for
coal and with lower wages, there was greater
production than now, when the demand is urgent
and wages are the highest ever known? There
are several explanations, which, it is agreeable
to say, apply to our workers in less degree, and
to some of workers not at all. One is that the
British Golfers strangling their industry ac-
cording to their custom by declining to produce
according to their easy capacity. They are even
threatening their country by refusing to produce
at all, in order to force compliance with their
political demands. Although better paid than
ever before, they not only refuse to produce coal
on a scale of quarter billion dollars worth a
year, but by the lack of their product they check

RECOMMENDS DENIAL
OF SEAT TO BERGER
House Committee Says He Was Dis
loyal-Rodenberg Alone Counsels
Delay in Minority Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Denial of
seat IN the house of representatives to
Victor Berger, Milwaukee Socialist, who
under conviction for violation of the es-
plonage law, was recommended yesterday
by SPECIAL house committee. Represent
atlve Rodenberg, Republican, Illinois, filed
minority report recommending delay.
The majority of the committee recon-
mended that the seat should not be given
TO Joseph p. Carney, the contestee, but
that a new election should be held. Rep
resentative Rodenberg asked that the out
come OF Bergers appeal be awaited before
action was taken.
Writings and activities of Berger and
ms associates, the report said, had no
other purpose than to defeat the United
States in its war preparations.
Victor l.. Berger" the report further
recited, ''was disloyal to the United States
and gave aid and comfort to its enemies
at time when its existence as a free
and independent nation was at stake"
Republican Leader Mondell announced
that house action on the committee re-
port would be the last business before the
adjournment of the special session, consid-
eration of the report consuming all of the
house session on Nov 10.
The essential purpose of the espionage
pct" the majority report stated, was to
prevent persons from obstructing the gov
frnment in continuation of the war. All
evidence in the case shows conclusively
hat Berger, from the outbreak of the
war until his indictment by the federal
grand jury, did obstruct and embarrass
he government and thus give aid to its
Enemies"
"The committee is decided the report
continues, that he is unfit to sit as a
member of our highest law-making body
That he should be rewarded for his treas
pnabe conduct by being given a seat in

activities against the United States

because republican papers continue to
criticise official acts and misconduct

well doesn't it from the same papers
that melted anarchists to kill Presi-
dent Mckinley and kept up their abuse
of him while he lay dying. The pre-
sent national administration has been
the most grossly corrupt and extrava-
giant the nation has ever had and the
