SILK HATS AND LIVING
COSTS.

If the production Of silk hats
were to fall off almost to moth
ing the country would survive
and its citizens would not be
atlydiscommoded. There might
be some embarrassment in diplo-
matte and high social circles but
oven the diplomats and dandies
would get along somehow.
But the production of necessi-
ties Of life is different matter.
President Wilson has pointed
out that we are face to face
with a situation more likely to af-
feet the happiness and prosperity
and even the life of our people
than the war itself. He has de-
clared that the primary first step
to relieve the nation of the cruel
burden of high prices is to in
crease production and that only
by increasing production and by
rigid economy and saving by the
people, can we hope for large de-
creascs in the cost of living.
The president has given the
formula. The world shortages
are in the necessities Of life. The
labor Of the world must be turned
to production Of necessities. in so
far as possible. And one of the
first demands is for food There
must be intensive production and
steady conservation. During the

prices from the public.
But these things can do no
great good unless the production
of food is materially increased.
And even il the production OF
food is increased, there must be
consistent saving and wise and
careful spending Of money. For,
if money is spent for luxuries and
non-essential commodities the
production of other necessities
clothing shoes, building materi-
ais and buildings, necessary ma
chimes for industry and agricul-
turc will be retarded.
Money saved and placed in
government securities, is withheld
from the purchase Of non-essen-
tials. Moreover, money saved
and placed al interest, figures
nightly in reducing the cost Of
production. If the farmer is OPP
Grating on money borrowed from
the bank on which he is paying
interest, naturally his cost of pro
duction is higher than if he is his
own banker.
There need be-no fear 70 the
bogie "over-production. " The
world shortage is large enough to
take all the food, clothing or any
other necessary commodity that
can be produced.

ing the best opportunity for saw

be built up that will free him
from the, burden Of interest on
borrowed money.
1t requires the same sort OF
sacrifice, of time, that the peo-
pie made during the war. The
people had a prosperity of a sort,
during the war. Their money re-
ceipts were high and many
bought government bonds. But
many of those bonds have been
sold so that the people could in
dulge themselves in luxurics OF
one kind or another.
This extravaganza must be
checked or a day of severe reck-
oning will come. 1t can be
checked by saving and sane in
vestment. The need Of the nation
is for the people to produce and
save.

THE STREET RAILWAY
SITUATION.

In the meeting Of striking
street ear workers and members
of the Chamber Of Commerce yes
ierday afternoon, II most amazing
situation developed. The latter
freely expressed The opinion chat
the carmen deserved more pay
and promised to use their best
cndeavors to the end that the de-
sired increase be granted. 1t was
pointed out, however, that the
matter would require consider
able time, ten days, il was sug-
gestcd. for adjustment and in the
meantime the business men APP
peaIcd to the carmen to resume
work as a matter of accommoda-
ton to the people of Chickasha
and Grady county, particularly in
view Of the fact that the county
fair is in progress and car service
is urgently needed.
TO the appeal Of the business
men the carmen with few eX-
ceptions turned deaf ear, insist
ing that they be assured at once
that the increase asked would be
granted. thing which conditions
affecting the matter manifestly
made impossible. The men were
not asked to continue on the job
Indefinitely at the old scale but
)nly until such time as the Cham
Der of Commerce could work out
plan whereby, if possible, they
could get what they want. The
amazing thing was that the men
rejected the good offices of the
business men in bringing about
settlement in their behalf.
In the light of the sworn re-
ports of the street railway com
pany to the state corporation
commission it is evident that the
citizens Of Chickasha will have to
step into the breach if the situa-
tion is to be saved. 1t is shown
that the company is $4,000 or
more behind in interest payments
to its bondholders and that the
stockholders are being called up |
on every year to make up def :its
in operating expenses. 1t is not |
to be expected that any set Of
men would continue this sort Of |
thing indefinitely. Unless some
means can be devised to increase |
revenues to an extent that will |
enable the company to pay living |
wages and also secure a fair re-
turn to its stockholders, the
Chickasha street railway must |
soon be a thing of the past. This
is the problem to which the bust
ness men of the city must apply |
themselves.
