SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-Shoot- ing or imprisoning profiteer or violent denunciation of the economic system would have little or no effect in reduc- ing the high cost of living Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. president of Columbia university, told a luncheon gathering here todayc in discussing the topi After the war, what?"
 tThe real remedies are to be found in government economy and in private thrift, Dr. Butler said Any attempt suddenly to deflate the currency would only bring new evils in it's train. The currency will naturally contract when borrowing is reduced
 Currency imitation, decrease in in- dustrial production. the increased cost of producing. the operation of the in come and excess profits taxes and prof iteering in special cases were given by pr. Butler as the reasons for the in- crease.

 T|E-UP REACHES HERE


 The railroad tie-up reported from Los Angeles is apparently not to af- feet Phoenix traffic, neither of the roads serving this city having received any orders different from the usual run.
 C. M. Scott, general manager of the Arizona Eastern, stated last night that they are going ahead in the regular way. selling tickets and shipping freight, and had received no notice to embargo freight or stop selling trans porta,tion.
 F. P. Cruice, traffic representative of the Santa Fe, said he had received no orders, and that the Santa Fe men were going ahead like good soldiers until such time as they received orders to do something else, if they ever do receive them. He was inclined to think that the absence of orders meant that there would be no interruption affect ing this city.

BIG PRODUCTION IN TEXAS FIELD

s. R. Staniforth, who acted as cost accountant during the construction of the Government project at Fort Whipple, Arizona. has just returned from a short visit to the Texas Oil Fields
 He reports very favorably on devel- opment in the Desdemona district. Of recent new producers are the Texas Company. Wilson No. 1. which is producing in steady flow 135 barrels per hour. this production is being stored in earthen tanks awaiting pipe line connection. The Hog Creek Petroleum Company well in tract No. 13 came in under such strong pressure that the oil was shot fifty feet above the ninety foot derrick.
 This news should be of interest to local shareholders who were fortunate enough to buy in the Will son Royalty. Lease and Production Syndicate as this company owns the two above mentioned producers.
