Has the Price Peak Been Reached?

M ANY millions of Americans are Won
IFA derng when the time will arrive for
Il depression in the cost of ordinary neccs-
stiles of life. Some of them have waited
patiently; others with fear and trembling.
The purchasing power of the dollar has
been reduced month after month for more
than three years, and the family with a
fixed income, subject only to moderate in
crease, if any, has found 1t difficult to re-
trench further. Time after time the hope
has been held out that commodity costs
would be lower. The government, to which
most folks turn instinctively, has done all
that it seemed able TO do without giving
relief The war has ended, without relief
The great American army and navy have
been demobilzed and millions of men with
drawn from productive activity have re-
turned to civil life, without bringing relief
The feeling persists in the average breast
that the high mark must soon be reached
and thereafter the decline will come. AT
this moment many millions of people seem
convinced that the peak is being passed
and they believe it is through their own
fundamentally that this is fact. Hun
drcds of thousands have joined the move
ment against the high price of clothing.
Some are wearing cheap oyeralls. More
are wearing last years clothes and seem
determined to wear their cast-of garments
until their hopes are gratifed.
There are signs aplenty that the produc-
ing and distributing factors of the country
are sensing the revolt that is taking place
on the part of the everyday citizen. The
great wooden mills combination Of New Eng
land has refused TO grant increased wages
to its men on the ground that it will be
unable to sell its output if wooden prices
go higher. The mills declare that they
having serious difficulty in disposng of
their output at present prices.
One of the largest of the New York de-
parlment stores has Just advertised that
it will dispose OF a S20,000,000 stock now
in hand at horizontal reduction of 90 per
cent. An association OF merchants in
other large Eastern city has warned its
members that spring buying is off about
80 per cent and customers are refusing TO
pay prevailing prices.
These are n few of the more significant
indications that the reaction has set in.
But there is little promise Of lower food
prices. People can do without new clothes,
new mobiles, new houses and new fur
niture, perhaps, but they cannot do with
out food. 1t is food that furnishes the
pinch in the average household The ordi-
nary family budget provides more money
for the table than for all else combined.
There is of course, one sure means OF
defeating the food profteer, and that lies
in the home rden. If every family that
has few hundred square feet of unoccu-
pied ground should raise all the produce
that the area vii! grow, that family would
do a definite thing in solving the high cost
Of living. All this has been preached 10
the American people in season and out, APP
rarcmtly without making much impression.

I Senatorial Lecture

OCCASIONALLY some member of the
~ House or Senate of the United States
rises in his place. forgets the rule of cour-
tcsy which bars unpleasant truths and pre-
sents picture of his respective body to
the American people. Sometimes this bold
ness is rewarded with the charge that the
outspoken member is ranting or playing the
dcmagogue or shouting for the benefit of
the gallery. That Is one of the penalties
of candor but it does not serve to silence
Others, who feel the occasional impulse to
relate few disagreeable facts.
