Price Fixing and Government.

The theory that war has made our
government autocratic and eager TO in.
crease its dominion does not harmonic
with the performance of the powerful
war industries board in refusing to heed
the request of the representatives Of the
iron and steel industry that govern
ment price fixing be continued after Jan.
!. No, says the autocratic government,
this is where we quit Iron and steel
prices may fix themselves after New
Years, or rather the United States steel
corporation and certain other interests
may fix them.
The most interesting question for the
historian Of the economies of the war
will be the value of government inter
vention in the market under war cond
tious. There were professors and states
men a year and a half ago who con-
demned any interference whatever with
economic law, especially the law Of sup
ply and demand, The answer to them
was that war had knocked economic law
into a cooked hat, and that even the law
Of supply and demand no longer "fuuc-
tioned" in the good old way. The histori-
an will not base his own conclusions
wholly on the statement of Chairman
Gary of the United States steel corpora
tion at Wednesdays meeting with the
price-fixing committee of the war indus
tries board, but he will at least note it
as important testimony;
Judge Gary expressed the steel in
dustrys appreciation Of the perfectly
fair and just treatment it has always
received at the hands of the price fixing
committee, and, while their profits had
been restricted, the industry had been
so stabilized as greatly to reduce the
difficulties of reconstruction which they
now face"
Iron and steel prices are now coming
down. They must come down in order
to open up a civilian demand in place
of the governments Cancelled war orders.
Railroad orders ought to begin filling the
void, but the government is not in the
market for equipment to any extent
One cause Of this inaction on the part of
the railroad administration is referred to
by the Iron Age: a western car works
is congested with cars which railroads
refuse to accept on the government dis
tribution, insisting the prices are too
high."-Springfeld REPUBLICAN.

bage can, but fat is not so easily and
iudieiously saved from waste.
The food administration points out
that all the many ways of wasting fat
should be thoughtfully avoided by the
housewife.
Do you waste fat in any of these
waysg
BY serving baked ham with large por
tions of fat on the edge;
BY throwing away fat trimmed from
beef or other fresh meat;
By serving large butter or margarine
balls to each pepson;
BY using heavy cream;
BY frying food in deep fat
BY frying food when it would be as
we'll or better to bake or stew it;
BY making pies or other pastries when
simpler desserts would be more nourish-
ing
Think it over, and see that these sins
are wiped off your slate.

Paxton ever had started forth on his

sat down on the porch for a quarter
of an hour compiling a list of pos

the village magnate, was among them
and he listened with apparent interest
to the minister's story Of how four
children had been left homeless and
penniless through the death of their
mother, poor widow.
