she had been building ships and mac
just finished the Kiel canal. She has
spent great sums substituting hel
merchants so they could sell goods al
price below that of other nations;
she had great diplomatic and press
enterprises which cost her much. Sc
when the war began she lacked gold
and struck at once for the heart of
France to secure her gold.
In 1914 the national bank of France
contained more gold than England's
Germany's and Russia's national
banks together.
The German generals knew that
unless they secured that gold to carry
on the war, their cause was lost.
Since they failed to reach Paris and
secure the prize, they set about to get
France by destroying her industries
and mines. The world knows how
she succeeded in doing that.
One sixth of France has been de-
vastated but that one sixth paid one
fourth of taxes of France on account
of the great industries in that portion
of the country. These industries have
been so terribly destroyed that for
perhaps ten years they will not be
back on their former productive scale.
France has paid out all and more OF

Previous to our entrance into the

For. the two years of our participa-

almost ceased, and there are now
both the need of 1916 and the accum-
ulated need of the two years of the
war. larger than in normal times be-
cause of the unprecedented shifting of
population.
ITO supply these needs will require
not less than five hundred million
dollars of building, to be completed

eff there be danger of an over-sup- |
ply of labor during the period of de- |

consequent lack of employment for

LIFE SAVINGS

After a fruitless years search in

rightfully entitled to the money re-
ceives it. The three defendants are
the administrators of the estate for
Washington, Idaho and Montana, re-

strated that the packers are respon-
sibie for the present high prices of
meat. The packers several weeks
ago announced a reduction in the
Wholesale p rice of beef but the con-
sumer is paying the same prices for
beef that he did before this reduction
was made. The packer cannot be
held responsible for this. The pack
ers have no control over the produc-
ton of poultry and eggs. They are
produced in small fiocks in the viii
lagos and ON the farms and in rural
sections are largely sold direct from
the producer TO the consumer; but
poultry and eggs are delatively high
er than beef The high cost of these
foods is not due to the packers,
!, These facts should be kept in mind
when we are considering the crush
ing OF the packer and the substitu-
ton Of government autocracy in the
meat business. The government UNI
der the law has dissolved many of
the large business organizations of
the country, but in 10 instance has it
secured reduction in price to the
consumer. Consumers, therefore,
should hesitate in demanding the i'm
position of government expense on
their dinner table.

FURTHER FEDERAL MENACE

1t is sometimes difficult to dis
tinguish propaganda when it is cley-
erly put forth. Every day every
newspaper office in the country is
flooded with matter, publication of
which is requested. Many of the ar
ticles are readable and interesting
but are prepared with view to pro
motto something.
One of the smoothest schemes in
this line is the effort that is being
made by advocates of government
ownership reinforced by certain
other interests to get the packing in
dustry of the country under govern
ment ownership or control.
We have sometimes suspected
that the packers have charged all the
traffic would bear, but, in view of
other experiments in government
ownership, it is a thousand times bet
ter to have the packers control the
business than to let the government
get hands onto it, Meat prices are
high enough now. Government con
troll of the business would be the last
step in extortion.
The Prattleboro Reformer dis
cusses the question and comes TO a
somewhat similar conclusion.
One great alarm of the packer is
felt by the Wholesale and jobbing
grocers OF the country, because the
packers are eneroaching upon their
business. The packers, are getting
control of the wholesale grocery
business only so far as they can rem
der more efficient and satisfactory
service to the retailers than the
Wholesale grocers. By their business
ability they have cheapened the pro
duction costs of foods until they can
undersell the wholesaler. With their
private cars, manufactured and paid
for by themselves, they can make
quicker and more satisfactory deliy-
cries than the wholesalers. There
fore. they are getting the business
the wholesalers once enjoyed. 1t Is
not sound argument that they should
be regulated out of business simply
because they can distribute food pro
ducts more cheaply and satisfactorily
than their competitors.
Another source of demand for gov
ernment control. is from the govern.
.ment itself, the government that has
assumed control of the railroads, the
wires and the wheat of the country.
In none of :he instances where the
government has suppressed private
control has there been an improve
ment in the conduct of the business
or reduction in cost. There is no
reasonable hope the government
could produce any more beneficial
results in the meat business. Gov
eminent control always has had un-
doubtedly always will be the most OK
pensiye control there is. What q
fallacy to claim a reduction in the
cost Of living will follow such a
marked increase in the cost OF pro
duction.
1t cannot be conyincingly demon

the people who wish to live here but
the situation is not so serious as in
some of the great industrial centers.
One of the great drawbacks to renew

wars in New York, Pittsburg and
other places. 1t costs more to build
houses than it used to and houses will
not be built unless the rent will be
enough TO return a profit on the in
