lars, production falls off and
prices shoot up. That is what
We are up against now. Hence,
| say, the COS. Of living can Be
reduced only by nation vide
revival which will change mems
hearts
The cost of living is more Of a
religious question than an eco
nomic one. Its solution awaits a
religious revival rather than
the passage OF more legislation
or the adoption Of new indus
trial order such as the Socialists,
the Bolshevists. Or | W, VS. de-
mand. Until the hearts Of men
are changed, we should be no
better off under Socialism than
at present; with the hearts OF
men right, we can get on well
under any system. Hence, !
again say, we should quit fooling
with the thermometer either BY
changing the scale or by putting
our thumb on the bulb. We
should go down cellar and put
more fuel on the furnace. This
means 20 out into the forests
and cut more wood, mine more
coal and produce more Of every
thing.
How can We increase produc-
ton? First, let me say there can
be no such thing as too much
production, or oyer-production,
provided all is properly distribut-
ed and labor Is properly pro-
portioned among the differ.
ent in dustries. There
could be an oYer-production Of
pepper, or even Of sugar but it
will be many NAM Years before
there could be an oyer-produc-
ton Of foodstJtis in general
while cannot imagine a time
when there could be an over
production Of good homes and
comforts We need not fear
over. production. What We must
fear il that too many people
will will loaf on their own Jobs,
and consequently Will not be able
TO buy their share of good things.
In other words, the problem is to
get everybody TO producing
something useful, We can't do
this by merely stating economic
facts. We must make il a moral
issue.
The abolition Of slavery was
never accomplished by an argu-
ment Of economics, but when
the majority Of people were
made to feel that slavery was
wrong, it was abolished. When
the majority of people were
made TO feel that drinking was
wrong and were ashamed to be
seen in saloon, we got prohibit
ton. In the same way, when
the people are educated to re-
gard with contempt the non-pro-
Queer or the man who curtails
his production, we shall strike at
the tap root Of the high cost Of
living.

IL Is very wrong W atteiiipl W
blame the merchants and store
keepers for the increased
cost of living. 1t is doubly
wrong: first, because tits unfair
to these people, and second, be-
cause the publicity connected
Herewith directs the peoples
attention away from the real
cause and the real cure. 1t ike
wise is wrong TO blame high
prices onto high wages, or vice
versa. Both are relative and a.
ways will be. When expressed
in dollars neither prices or wages
mean anything. 1t does Us no
good to get $40 day and work
only 6 hours a day if this means
that bread will be 81 a loaf A
discussion OF either wages or
prices alone is like arguing
which existed first, a hen or an
egg. We have fooled ourselves
long enough by putting our
thumb on the thermometer bulb.
1t is time that we went down
cellar and put some coal in the
furnace. The increased cost OF
living can be reduced only by IN
creasing production or decreas-
ing consumption, or by both.
When production exceeds con-
sumption, the cost Of living de-
clines: but when consumption
exceeds production, the cost llv-
ing increases.
Usually, the cost Uf living is
reduced thru the latter method.
namely, by reducing consump-
ton. This comes about by prices
getting 80 high that people
curtail their buying to a point
which makes prices decline.
When prices begin to decline
they fall further than is needed,
because people get panic strick'
en- and refuse 10 buy on falling
market, even for their legitimate
needs. Hence. in accordance
with the law Of equal and op'
posite, prices on a declining
market fall as far below theil
normal, a. they rise above theil
normal during boom times
This is why the cost Of living de-
clines during a business depres
sion even tho production falls of
and unemployment is common.
The ideal way TO reduce thu
cost of living is by increasing
production. Reductions in thu
cost of living which come thru
reductions in consumption arr
only temporary. AS soon al
business picks up and people
again become employed, thu
cost Of living again begins t
climb and we are worse off thar
before. This explains why al
the commissions and other at
tempts to reduce the cost of liv
ing during the past decades hav'
failed. The high cost of livini
is a necessary reaction to tn
grasping attitude which 95% o.
us take toward life. We arr
taught to get all we can ant
give as little as we can.
As long as only comparativel,
few families had this graspini
nature. things went on very well
In our fathers days enough peo
ple had the right point Of view
toward life to keep the rest fed
housed and clothed on decent
basis. We are like a party in {
rowboat. As long as all row
we get along finely. One, even
may loaf and still we make pro
gress. Now, however, almos'
