The Touch That Is Death.

With the United States Government
more responsible to-day than any
other influence or power for an ex-
cessive cost of American living, eco
nomic stagnation and Industrial I'M
certainty, Secretary RrprIELD urges
plan which could only make a bad
matter worse. The Government Is up
to it's waist in the wild enterprise Of
pegging food prices at figures which
kill business; he wants to get 1t in
up to its neck.
All American wheat leaving the
farm Is the Governments and will
he the Government throughout this
year, because the Government is the
contract buyer at 1925 a bushel of
all the wheat the farmers hold and
can raise in 1910. II, no matter. what
1t pays itself, the Government would
let the wheat go freely on the home
market and sell under the normal
workings Of the law Of supply and
demand. the food cost Of living would
drop like shot. When the food
cost Of living started down the gen.
eral cost of living would come along
down with 1t.
But when the Government ought to
be getting out of the business of hold
ing up food prices by main strength,
Secretary REDFIELD and other mem
49,. - NJ y,,co~'s r,hinet Drpposp
to ask the President to commission
some more price fixing bodies to In
terfere further with the law Of sup
ply and demand.
They want to fix and then to ease of
general high prices inch by inch every
few weeks or months, or the Lord
knows when. But while they are
thus easing off inch by inch fixed
prices that ought TO come done with
one clean jump. there will be nothing
doing by the industries and bust
nesses which are now waiting for the
right price and which will so on wait
ing till they get it.
After fiddling hopelessly with a sit
uation like that. the copper producers
at last met it fairly and squarely
When at first they tried shaving on
tiny bits Of the price there was nc
market for a pound of copper, mines
closed and wage earners went Off the
payrolls. So only last Friday the pro
ducers chopped off with one stroke q
good big chunk-down from some It
cents during the war to IS cents q
pound. Then there was chance fol
copper market. With copper mar
ket restored, the mines can operate
the miners can earn living.
Likewise, If the Government will
its wheat, the steel producers will
their steel, the lumbermen with thei
lumber, other producers with thei
products, will do the same thing the.
will find a market that will make i'm
mediate work for general capital ant
general labor both.
Secretary REDFIELD's plan, on tn
contrary, would not revive singh
market that is dead. 1t would xii
markets that are still gasping des
rerately for breath.
What this country needs now NOR
than anything else Is for the Govern
ment to keep Its price fixing hands OF
the things they have not yet seized
and to take them off the things the,
have already seized for. with the wa
over, that price fixing touch is indus
trial death.

YANkS CAPTURE TRAu
200 Americans Compel italians
to Evacuate.
DaImatian Town Then Turned Over ia
Jugo-SIav Forces; U. s. Force
Leaving.

Copenhagen, Sept. 26.-American
marines landed from torpedo boat
destroyer to compel the Italians to
evacuate Trau, Dalmatia, according to
a dispatch received from Spalato, a
short distance east Of Trau.
The dispatch adds that the Italians
left after the Inhabitants fired on
them and that Jugo-Slav troops took
over the town from the Americans.
The dispatch says that a JugoSlav
detachment began an advance towards
Trau, when the American destroyer
entered the harbor to compel the re-
tirement of the Italians. The inhabi-
tants of Trau then opened fire on the
Italians, who hastily departed.
The Italian commander and three
men in an armored car fell into the
hands of the Slavs. In the meantime.
200 American marines with machine
guns, landed and took over the ar
mored car and the prisoners, who SUBJ
sequently were transferred to an
Italian ship.
Then the Serbian troops arrived
and were enthusiastically welcomed.
The Americans handed over the town
to the Jugo.Slav troops and re-em-
barked. The destroyer will remain In
the harbor for few days.

race riot held this city terrorized for
nine hours.
Mayor Edward P. Smith was saved
from lynching by policeman who, it
is reported, cut the rope from about
the mayors neck while his comrades
dubbed off the mob.
The riot centered about the magniti-

set on fire by the mob, in its efforts to
reach William Brown, negro charged
with criminal assault on Agnes Lo-
beck, a white girl, few days ago.

TRUCKS GROWING

There has been some speculation
as to when the supply of motor
trucks would meet the demand, but
those. who are in touch with the
situation and follow it closely can
see no way even to equal the demand
in the near future" says NJ. B. Hoag-
land, sales manager OF the Signal
Motor Truck Company, Detroit,
1T is true that there are more
trucks being built and sold than ever
before, but you must take into con-
sideratiOn that the motor truck now
has thousands Of uses whereas q short
time ago IL was limited to a few.
The export trade Is crying for
trucks, and 100000 are needed to NIL
this demand alone for the current
year, but right here in the United
States in spite Of the greatly increas-
ed production the demand exceeds the
supply.
The motor truck had virtauIIy to
worm its way into general use be-
fore II became an established fact
that il was an actual money saver,
and now that this fact has been prov
ed. many lines Of business are now
using motor trucks which never
thought Of them before.
