THE LOW COST OF THINKING
BY william Mather Lewis.

The cost of living will not go
down permanently until the use Of
gray matter goes up. AS long as
the people of America are content
TO delegate their thinking to a
select few, that select few will run
matters to further their own per
sOnal ends. The average American
does not function above the shout
ders. The movies pay tremendous
dividends because they furnish a
form of amusement which requires
no mental effort, We are nation
of magazine readers; a long book
demands too much sustained think
ing to please us.
Are these accusations false? Put
yourself 10 the test. Why are you
a Methodist or a Catholic? Why
a republican. or a democrat? Your
sectarian beliefs were probably
settled for you by your great
grandfather. You were a republi-
can or a democrat fifty years be-
fore you We're born. You have not
thought through the political prob
lens and as a result the little
group which have given these
problems attention are leading you
whittier they will. The big asset
of the political boss is the mass of
voters which won't think on mat
tiers political and which welcome
his advice. Do the people choose
the president of these United
States? They do not. A little
group of men picks the candidate
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-04-07

who best suits their purposes. Then
they SAY to-the people: John Jones
lis the man you want for president,
and the people, gratified at having
their thinking done for them,
shout, He IS" The average Amer
lean has nothing to say about who
will lead the nation. because he
doesn't want to.
And TO get back to the cost of
living That problem isn't being
solved, because We have delegated
the consideration of economic mat
ters to a few financiers and college
professors. The high cost of living
lis a result of something. The
American people have got to think
.consecutively enough to work back
from result to cause, they have got
to understand the law of supply
and demand, of production and
consumption. The war took mill
lions of men out of productive in
dustry. goods became scarce and
prices correspondingly high. The
war is over. What's the answer?
To buy everything in sight and to
produce as little as possible, or to
spend carefully and produce the
maximum? Supply and demand:
You can not eat your cake and
have it. Maximum production,
careful spending, regular saving,
these things are the only remedy
What if you make SO Il day and
have to spend Sl1. Do high wages
get you anywhere?
Your Liberty bond is below par.

Have you thought why, or have
you let some one tell you why and
take your bond away from you in
exchange for "phoney" stock? The
government borrowed your money
for certain period of years at the
end of which time it will pay you
back dollar for dollar and in the
meantime the interest that was
promised you. Like other bonds,
Liberty bonds are subject to mar
ket conditions including the law Of
supply and demand The market
quotations have declined chiefly
because of the failure of the in
vesting public to save in proportion
to the enormous expenditure of
capital during and since the wa".
OF the twenty million or more
Americans who pauiotcally sub
scribed during the war, large num-
bers have been unwilling or unable

pendous amounts in short period
that their absorption ry the inVes-

These facts have not been con-
sidered by those who let other men
do their thinking FOR them, and
as a consequence thoughtful men
are buying Liberty bonds from the

will know that the security behind
the Liberty bonds is the honor and
