Writing from London, Herbert N.
Casson tells the Boston News Bureau
thet the telephone system i'll Great
Britain has been owned by the gov
ernment since 1911. The government
promised to reduce the rates and i'm
prove the service. ION the contrary"
says Mr.. Casson, latter seven years
of hopeless muddling, we have higher
rates, fewer telephones, and a SER
vice that will soon be as bad as that
of Paris or Toxic" These are state
'ments worth taking into consideration
while the subject of government own
ership is UP for discussion in this
country. The failure may be due to
a mistaken government policy, or it
may be that a Burleson has been in
charge of the telephone business over
there.

PRICES GOING HIGHER.

A report made by the national in
dustrial conference board indicates
that the cost of living as applied to
industrial workers has advanced from
65 to 10 per cent since 1914. 1t
would have been enIightening if the
board had at the same time submitted
a report on the advance in wages.
When these two items move up and
down in unison, little harm can come
to the business of the country. That
there has been a considerable advance
in wages is well-known.
There is little prospect that the cost
of living will be materially reduced
for some time. The tendency rather
cent advances in wheat, corn, hay,
cattle and hogs.
The indications are that wages and
prices are going to stay up, for. a time
at least, all over the world, which will
do much to simplify the situation in
every country. The general state of
credit expansion over the world will
sustain. and naturally cause, higher
level Of prices than prevailed before
same pressure to lower wages and
| prices in this country that there would
! be if the level were falling in other
countries.
1t does not follow, OF course, that
wages and prices at the higher level
will yield any better net results to
producers and wage earners than al
the old level, or that the new level
will be permanent. but business is
1 favored by stable conditions and with
all the world subject to the same gen.
era1 influence. changes are likely to
be gradual rather than abrupt.
If all wages and prices in this coun-
try could be brought back at one
stroke to the old level. it might be
advantageous to have it done, but il
is impossible, and If accomplished
there is no probability that they could
be held there with the present stock
of gold in the country and the exist
ing state of initiation abroad.

The manager of the. parcel post de-

company reported that in eleven
months SO, 0O0spackages that had been

removed from the malls in the past
year. One of those companies alone
suffered the loss of more than $4,000
parcels thru the activity of thieves.
The limit of government insurance

to turn to private insurance companies
for security. 1t is that class of mail
that seems to have suffered the most

plorable situation can be laid directly

It is always under the eyes of a rep

deplorable loss of discipline and utter
