The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-08-16
THE WAY TO REDUCE IS TO PRODUCE

A generation ago the police theory of driving a crowd
back was to club those in the front ranks regardless of the
pressure from the rear. The theory of arresting the upward
course of prices now u%ppermpst is to smash into the business
men who are distributing the goods at hand. The fact that
they have had to pay high prices for what they are selling
does not seem to matter. They may be caught with high
priced goods in stock and they may be ruined, but that does
not seem to matter, either.
One of the causes of the high cost of foOdstuffs is the
governments policy of coddling the farmers. The idea seems
10 have been that the farmers would loaf in their barns and
not plant anything unless they were paid high premiums.
Today the farmers, as a class, are wealthy, and the country
is being taxed in the form of high food prices to make up for
it. The heavy foreign demand for our food and clothing has
also been another factor. If fifteen men want to purchase a
dozen pairs of shoes three of them will have to go without
and these three will be those who wanted them the least, or
whose means were the lowest.
The only way to reduce the cost of living is to search for
the causes and where they can be reached to apply the remedy.
One way is for the public to do without the things that are not
absolutely essential, thus curtailing the demand. Another is
10 increase production. Then prices will fall of their own
accord.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-08-16
A VICIOUS THREAT

A spokesman for the disafected railroad shOpmen has de-
clared that the presidents proposal of a federal wage board
is unacceptable and adds:
I'VE will tie up the railroads so tight that they
never will run again if that legislation is passed;
We are all opposed to it, That much was agreed TO
among the fourteen branches of organized labor which
called upon Mr.. Hines today"
And this from a man who would have the representatives
of all the people turn over to him and his class the whole
transportation system of the republic.
1t is a vicious threat if there ever was one. 1t is directed
against every man, woman and child in the United States. 1t
looks to nothing less than the wholesale paralysis OF industry
the choking of the arteries of out everyday life.
IT is i'm a sense q futile threat, for it is inconceivable that
il could ever be carried out The railroads OF the country
will not be- tied up $50 tight that they will never run again.
The people would rise in their righteous wrath and with the
desperation born of the instinct of self-preservatiOn against
such an insane program as that.
But the spirit of the threat is unmistakable. 1t puts a
class before the mass. 1t proposes to sacrifice all OF the rest
of us to its own advantage. And if "A serious attempt were
made to put it into effect it would involve the American pub
lie in difficulties and suffering, the like of which has not been
experienced even in times of war.
The railroads are absolutely necessary for the mainte-
nance of our physical existence. With our present Organiza-
ton of society we could not live without them. The meat
market. the grocery and the factory are dependent upon their
they never will run again and starvation would quickly stare
the people in the face.
Against any leader or organization That suggests such a
possibility the public will must be quickly and resolutely shown
We have no room for menaces of this sort in any American
community. Where there are injustices of work or pay they
should be met, but this un-Amerlcan note OF utter recklessness
is %intolerable.
There are 100000 people in the United States. Com
pared with this enormous total the whole number of railroad
employees is small. We shall not permit them to dictate to
us. especially in a matter that touches not merely our gen
eral prosperity but the immediate issues of health and life.

WHY ONE MAN RESIGNED

a belated Washington dispatch throws light on the man
ner of the resignation of Ambassador Page at Rome. When
the crisis over Fiume came up the ambassador thought that
he knew a thing or two about the Italian situation that even
the president did not know in Paris. The dispatch states the
rest as follows:
ut appears that when the Fiume controversy
came up Mr.. Page, after he had vainly caused an indi-
rect suggestion to be made to the president that he be
summoned to Paris for a conference, went to Paris
on his own responsibility and endeavored to see the
president. But the president was too busy for sew
eral days and the ambassador was kept waiting nearly
a week. Then Mr.. Page prepared to return to Rome.
The president at the last moment sent for him but it
is understood that his suggestions were of no avail.
Naturally a man of Mr.. Pages consequence did not
relish such treatment and, as might be expected, he
took steps to sever his relations with the diplomatic
service"
What some of his admirers pretend to admire in The presi-
dent is his willingness to go it alone, they say. Others, of
course, will think it more admirable in a man to listen to adj
vice or at least to consult with men who know more about a
particular thing than others. And they also think that it is
a safer policy for a whole country. That was what Washing
ton thought, and Jefferson, and Lincoln, and Cleveland, and
some other presidents we have had. OF course there have
been rulers who didn't believe in this-William Hohenzollern
for instance. And we have Mr.. Wilson's word for il, in one
Of his books, that this was the fatal weakness of Jefferson
Davis, president of the late Confederacy.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-08-16
SUPPORT

1t is clear to anyone who carefully studies the treaty stu
alton in the senate that much of the support given to Mr..
Wilson on the league of nations covenant is perfuncory.
Only two senators on the administration side have openly
declared their opposition to the covenant-Reed Of Missouri
and Gore of Oklahoma; but there is evidence enough al hand
ta make it plain that a good many other members of the presi-
dents party in the senate are anything but enthusiastic for
the presidents program. Senator Thomas of Colorado, indeed,
after reading the treaty three times, told Mr.. Wilson fatty that
stands.
In private, it is said, Mr.. Wilson's party associates resent
the crack of the presidential whip. They present an undivided
front 20 the world, but in secret they chafe and protest. What
hclds them together?
Friends of the covenant have made much of the partisan
chi racter of the opposition to it. They have declared that this
opposition consists very largelyin personal antagonism to the
president. There can be no doubt that such antagonism has q
considerable influence-M Wilson has stirred up a bitterness
of resentment that cannot be paraleled, perhaps, in American
history. But that is far from being the whole story; and even
if it were. the opponents of the covenant may fOrcefully retort
that support of the covenant is<very largely based on partisan
and personal considerations.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-08-16
THE ONE WAY OF SAFETY

Secretary Redfeld of the department OF commerce mas
uttered one lucid idea and that is that the people should pro-
d,Ice all they can and consume as little as they can i've on.
That, we believe, is the proper and the only solution.
1t is the only system of reducing the cost of high living or
The high living cost. All other remedies will in the end prove
more or less false and futile.
We believe that the whole trouble is that we have been
living high and too fast. And we resumed that sort of human
Wastage before the wastages of the war had been replaced.
We are in danger of exhaustng the supplies of the world and
The nearer we get to that point the higher the prices will be-
come.
What we need is a six months penace, getting along again
on as little as we can and after that we will find things be-
ginning to get normal. We have failed to take into considera-
lion the enormous demands of an exhausted world. We should
learn to take modest shares of what there is in the world,
instead Of trying to appropriate all we can selfishly.
Unless we restore the surplus of things in the world we
shall have this battle with ever increasing prices. The way
to begin is to begin to conserve.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-08-16
THE DOG AND HIS TAIL

Warren S. Stone, the grand chief of the Brotherhood OF
7 Locomotive Engineers, has been using some good nara sense
IN the present situation. He has been telling President VIII
son and others. that 'new wage increases whould only mean
another cycle of increasing prices and that the situation grow
MP out of the high cost of living could best be met by q return
To normal economic conditions
That is the everlasting and the fundamental truth IN te
matter. There is no sense in chasing wages and prices around
the circle, as the dog that chases his own tail. 1t will get us
nowhere. Iaborers and others strike and wages are put up.
Then UP goes everything else aud the wages buy no more than
lhey did before and the initiation of wages and of money makes
things only worse.
AS long as men continue to try TO settle a grave SITUATION
in such a childish way that long will the complaints continue
10 nile up. The thing to do is to strike a blow for normahty.
There are those who now believe that it can be done by the
government using it's wheat subsidy. which was voted last
winter. That is, instead of holding up the price OF wheat at
the government guarantee, put it down to where 1T belongs,
at about 81 % a bushel and paying the growers the addltlonal
81 guaranteed them out of public taxes. And then compel all
who handle the wheat, the miller and dealer and the bread
makers and sellers to confine themselves to decent profits, say
fifteen per cent, which is the French figure, we believe.
There may be some sense in that, especially il 1T is true
lint all other things have been held up in connection with
wheat, that is that wheat prices have set the pace for all olher
prices. If that is true then it is also true we have been making
II cost the people q great deal more than the SlWWOoOO
which was appropriated for the wheat dehclt.

THE SAME ON BOTH SIDES

Friends of the administration assert that it is ridiculous
TO argue that our right to regulate Immigration is menaced by
the league of nations. They declare that the league will never
undertake to control a domestic matter of this sort.
Then why not say So, in plain language, in the cove
nant?
They insist that the tariff does not come within the scope
Of the leagues operations; that this, like immigration. is
something that we ourselves are at full liberty to adjust.
Then why not say SO, in plain language, in the cove
nant?
They urge that we are not really pledged, under the new
scheme, to maintain, if need be, the remOtest sovereignties and
boundaries with the blood of our sons.
Then why not say so, in plain language. in the cove
nant?
Mr.. Wilson tells us that the functions of the council of
The league ct Geneva are to be purely advisory.
Then why not say so, in plain language, in the cove
nanto
The instrument which he. would have us adopt without
The change of a punctuation mark leaves altogether too much
to future Interpretation. 1t is our business to provide the in
now, before it is too late.
1t is already interpreted in one way by the newspapers
and the statesmen of France, in a different way by those of
Great Britain, and still differently by the president and his
spokesman over here. Those are the differences that lead to
wars.
That covenant when adopted should read the same way on
both sides of the Atlantic.
