PARAMOUNT ISSUE OF TO-DAY.

The United States has come out O.
the world war stronger financially, eco
nomically, socially. than any other o
the major nations. Yet even to thu
United States there has been left {
heritage of acute problems pressing
relentlessly upon the public mind fol
answer. Never within the memory d
two generations have the people Of
this country been SO resolved to NEE,
current issues squarely, SO determined
to find solution for those problems
which are depressing them and tc
bring about a better social and eco
nomic condition. 1t is situation In
which the leaders of public though and
action-business men thoughtful WON
en-, men and women of influence In
every sphere and line Of work-must
assert their leadership. This Is no
time to theorize. 1t is time to do some
thing.
The root of this condition Of the
public mind lies in the cost Of living.
It is this that has led to the establish
ment of that unfortunate procession
in which wages for individual labor,
pushing up and up, have been constant
ly and inevitably outstripped by the
prices Of the commodities which those
wages must buy. Unfortunate. this
process is called, because 1t does not
accomplish and never can accomplish
any permanent readjustment of the
condition which it seeks to remedy. Its
only possible consequence can be an
interruption of the process of produc.
ton, which must indubitably cause. not
an Improvement in, but an accentua-
ton of the i'll.
For what is it that really underlies
this public unrest? 1t is not that shoes
now cost twelve dollars where, they
once cost six, nor that food stuffs have
doubled in price. This is already gen.
orally admitted. The public will glad
ly pay these prices provided that they
can pay them and still have proper
tionately as much left, after the neces-
stiles of life have been provided, as
the used to have. 1t Is question, not
of the cost of living, but of the margin
between the cost of living and the
amount earned.
Sin word, it is a question Of thrift
= thrift in production. which will tend
to increase individual earnings, and
thrift in consumption, which by pre-
vention of useless destruction of goods
will tend t. increase the general sup
ply OF goods al69xM'e prices to the
consumer, atement issued

Orders For Mobilization
at Monthly Conference

The monthly supper and meeting
of the Scoutmasters' Association of
the Harrisburg Council, Boy Scouts
of America. was held last night at
the Y. NJ. c. A. with over thirty Of
hcials present. Scout Commissioner
w. ii. German, addressed the men,
bers on the various phases of civic
good turns and also conveyed to the

of the police department for the eff
fective work done at the recent pa
rade by the Scouts. He also announ-
ced new system of orders for mob
iiization. This will be in the form of
written request transmitted to

However, in the case of an emerg-
eney call the routine followed in the
past will be carried out, l. e., a di-
rect call to the scoutmaster by tele-
phone
He also read an appeal from the
Red Cross asking for magazines for
distribution to soldiers passing
through the city, and to insure that

The House of Representatives last
night passed two more of the series
of bills introduced in the Senate by
Senator Frank A. Smith, of Dau-
phin, and they now go to the Gov
ernor for action. The Governor

joint city-county office building and
the bills passed last night provide a
way for third-class cities and coun-
ties to unite in the erection of a

bridge contracts. The hospital bill
is designed to facilitate the joint
hospital planned for this city as a
part of the model sanitary city.
The Martin bill proposing a con-
stitutional amendment regulating
removal of appointive officers was
negatively reported. The Wallace
third-class city bill was amended to
provide for advertising Nordinances

sent bill to allow municipalities to

taken to mean that consent to in
troduce bills will be hard to obtain.

fered to go if Mr.. Williams would
referee. The House indulged in a
laugh and defeated the bill. which
was sponsored by Mr.. Sewers.

Banking Commissioner
Explains Holiday Measure

Commissioner of Banking John S.
Fisher, who was besieged to-day
with inquiries as to the effect of the
legal holiday proclaimed yesterday
by the Governor in accord with the
legislative resolution honoring the
2Sth Division, made this statement:
The resolution adopted by the
Legislature and the proclamation is
sued in pursuance thereof by the
Governor making Thursday, the
fifteenth instant, a legal holiday be-
cause of the homecoming of the
keystone Division. does not create
such holiday as will operate to
suspend the usual and ordinary
course of business by banks. This
action of the State authorities was
taken in just recognition Of the
splendid services of the Pennsylva-
MIA soldiers. While the holiday is
possibly not fully legalized, never
theless it is hoped that the bank
ing institutions of the State will OBJ
serve it in as full measure as .pos--
Sible"
