Profiteering Discussed.

If the farmers alone had taken adj
vantage of the war to double thei-
prices on all the rest of us they would
rightly have been accused of profiteer-
ing. Ditto the wage-earnerS. AS
is. however, each class finds in tho
high prices.it has to pay justification
for the high prices it charges. Blu:
all these people are evidently sharinc
among them the half of the salaried
mans living which he doesn't get
with respect to him they are al
prohteering. in spite of IL. fat tina
they are all ready to denounce the
profiteer. And this is the most colos.
sal protiteering of all
Not evil intention. but ignorance
in a time of sudden and puzzling
changes. lies back of this profiteering.
The salaried man him self has only
Just realized the situation: he cannot
ask more of others. He has much to
hope from public goodwill and sense
OF justice, now that he is beginning
to understand the case and demand
that his income be increased like
others.
May Be Fairer to Reduce Prices.
1t would doubtless be fairer to re-
duce prices, for this restores the val
ue to insurance policies and many
kinds of savings. But every one
knows this reform will take a long
time. Meanwhile bitter and cruel in
justice is being done to the. salaried
man. He is a whole years income
behind already. There is no question
that the country is able to pay him a
fair living.
The salaried mans claim for
square deal is denied by the policy of
concentrating relief on the lower SAL
aries. All gratitude is due to the
a NJ ha I'd vi h, 1l, he
been devoted to such relief. but it de-
MES justice by Offering charity in
stead. IF a man is so poor it vir-
tually says. that he is in danger of
going hungry, we will throw him a
bone-I should say bonus-but if he
was so diligent and SO valuable to
the community that he earned $4,000
or more in 1913 we will make him
live on about half what he is worth"
Important to Washington.
The whole question is of peculiar i'm
portance in Washington at this par
ticular time. One difficulty in an ade-
quate increase of salaries is to get
some one to begin. Governments,
state and national, have no business
competitors and are more free than
private employers to raise salaries.
and yet even commercial salaries
have been raised more than govern
mental. The government is trying to
check prof1teering; why shouldn't it
attack the greatest and cruelest in
stance of it, the profiteering of the
whole nation at the expense of the
salaried minority?
The committee on Redistribution is
making a study of commercial SAL
aries, and one congressman has limited
that the results will tend to lower
the salaries paid by the government.
In normal times competitive salaries
do furnish the standard. But present
conditions are not normal as to COM
mercial salaries. To take these ex-
ceptional, often cruelty low, and I'M
adjusted salaries as standard for
government pay in the next few years
is palpably unfair. w. P. WHITE.

After this both sides
became irritated and practiced every
method of hampering each other in
international trade. Political leaders
in Serbia seized upon the pig incl
dent. Austro- Hungarian diplomats
took up the question. Misunder-
standings arose over it. The en-
barge was manipulated until the pig
incident supplanted many other big
political questions. When it grew
too old for political propaganda other
questions were built out of it, and thus
the world war was brought on.

FARMERS ADVISED TO
REDUCE COTTON ACREAGE


Washington, Jan. 26.-Farmers Of
the south were advised IN a statement
ISSUED by the department of agrlcu.-
ture today that it would be wise to
adjust cotton acreage this year SO as
to have available land sufficient to
produce enough food and feed for
their families and livestock.
IF industrial conditions in all the
cotton consuming countries do not
reach normal-and if the industries
are not restored-the consumption Of
cotton will be substantially less than
pre-war average requirements" said
the statement, with practically COM
Iplete restoration, cotton consumption
tmay well be expected to equal the
normal of pre-war times, on account
of the present shortage of cotton
goods in various countries. The ec-
onomies which the people Of Europe
must practice for some years to come
must be considered"
Average requirements outside the
United States were given as 13,010,-
1000 bales; domestic requirements,
I6,600,000 bales. The American 1918
crop is estimated at III, 100000 bales.
After domestic consumption require
ments are taken care Of there will be
an exportable surplus of 100000
bales. Other producing countries
have an estimated surplus of about
8, 100000 bales, making total present
surplus stocks for the world about
8,280,000 bales, against 13,010,000
bales in requirements. The apparent
deficit, therefore is 4730,000 bales,the
departments statement says; but
from this gross amount should be
deducted the carry-over at the end
of the 1918-1919 season. Unless
there is a very marked increase in
exports, there win be considerable
carTy-over. Estimates Of the carry
over are placed at 3,230,000 bales.
With a carry-over of that amount the
apparent deficit is reduced to 1,500,-
900 bales.
Pointing out that the 1918 yield
was greatly decreased by unfavorable
weather, the departments statement
said the same acreage this year, with
average weather, would produce at
least 100000 bales more than the
1918 crop.
"In many sections Of the south"
said the statement, diversified farm
ing should be practiced to a larger
extent. Many farms and plantations
are still devoted entirely to cotton
and fail TO produce sufficient food
stuffs for the families or feed for
the livestock, Such a system is haz-
ardous, since success or failure is de-
pendent upon a single crop, subjected
to the influence Of the weather, in
sects, diseases, transportation and
markets. A careful study Of the sit
uation has resulted in the recon-
munity and each section of the south
should produce, as far as possible, its
that each farm. each com
own food and feed, for the sake Of
economic production and to save
transportation costs and intervening
profits where the purchase must be
made from distant section. In other
words, the food and feed of the
south should be produced on the
farms of the SOUTH

Attacks on Food Stores
by Enraged Mobs Who
Attack PrOfiteers

COBLENZ, Sept. Island gren-
AIDES left over from the war were
used effectively recently by enrsged
civilians in Zoppot in West Prussia
who attacked food stores on the
ground that the shopkeepeIs were
profteering. According to informa-
ton reaching American army head
quarters a mob, armed with gren-
AIDES, revolvers and other weapons,
attacked in numbers the stores
which were known to have charged
high prices.
In the interior of Germany marga-
rine has been quoted recently at 6
marks per pound whereas it former
ly cost 2.80 marks per pound. This
is attributed to the fact that large
quantities have lately been bought
abroad at higher prices than former
ly owing to the low rate of German
exchange. The official rate of OK
change for August at army head
quarters is two marks, twenty-five
pennings for one franc, giving The

ton more than six cents.
