of the high cost of living. Congress
probably will retort: you're an

less guilty. Neither has possessed the
power to restore normal conditions,
but they might have aided in starting
things in that direction. One of the
things that would have contributed to
lowering the cost of living is repeal of
the excess profits tax. The president

production of most of the more essen
tial goods, of which wheat is am ex-
ample.
In the three years ended June 80.
1912. 1913 and 1914, the per capita
production of wheat in this country
was IN bushels, of which u bush
els per capita were exported, leaving
six bushels per capita for consump-
ton. The present crop is expected to
total less than seven bushels per cap
tia, and if exports maintain the same
ratio as in the year ended June 80,
1919, the last for which complete fig
ures are available, at least two bush
els per capita will be sent abroad,
leaving US with less than five bushels
per capita.
Failure or inability of the govern
ment to bring about contraction of
expenditure does not relieve the pri-
vate citizen of his responsibility for the
correction of present unbalanced con-
ditions. Collectively we have spent a
great deal of energy and print paper
in denouncing the profiteering of pro-
ducers, but a large part of that prof
iteering would have been impossible
without the extravaganza of consum-
ers. Extravaganza encourages the in
creased production of the less essential
goods. The increased production of
the less essential goods draws labor
and materials away from the produc-
ton of the more essential goods. and
hence creates a scarcity of necessaries
and an increase in their price.

WINDING ROADS.

Experience is a winding road. No
matter how well we may plan out our
days journey. we are almost sure to
have to make detours, and to miss
points that we had intended to make.
There is something very beautiful
and wonderful, however, about the
winding road. Sometimes it's a little
dangerous, and there are hidden pit
falls iuts around the curve. But by
being right in mind and heart, and by
keep Il watchful eye, we are bound to
sight the long straight road again.
It takes longer to travel the wind
ing road, but we learn more on it.
We see more.
There is liable to arise confusion in
travelling the winding road. But we
must keep our heads and not get ex-

must make much of our way-believ-

somewhat improved recently. still
promises a yield short of the worlds
probable needs. While these condi-
lions may be due in a measure to ad-
verse weather they also can be traced
to reduced acreage which has come
about from lack of farm labor.
The labor of too many hands has
been given over to the production of
1uXuries while necessaries have been
ne lected. For this situation the peo-
PIE themselves must be blamed. They
have demanded luxuries at any price
and the labor that should have been
employed in producing necessaries
has gone into the supplying of this
demand.
The prosperity of the luxury"
trades was never greater than it is to-
day. Based on the amount paid in on
the so-called luxury tax, the collector
of internal revenue for the New York
district estimates that $105,0OO,0 600 a
month is being spent in that city alone
on goods rated as 'luxuries" by the
tax. and that nearly $4,000 900 of this
amount represents expenditures on
theaters and moving pictures alone.
The consumption and production OF

in the three calendar years 1912, 1918
and 1914 was 9s3,7OO.0OO pounds; in
1919 it was 1.3S9.50O,O00.
According to figures compiled by
the Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. the number of pleasure cars
produced in 1914 was 543.679; produc-

An yet you haven't any doubt that he

GOVERNOR ALIENS PLANK.

Governor Allen has announced that
he will endeavor to have his indus
trial relations court idea given a place
vention can hardly avoid taking a
stand regarding the labor situation
and if it follows the governors lead it
cannot go far wrong.
When the whole people are threat
ened by a quarrel among a part of the
people, Governor Allen maintains the
supreme right of the whole people to
adjust the quarrel. And in that it is
not likely that he can be successfully
disputed.
Governor Allen does not deny the
right of men to quit work. He does
not deny their right to protest against
terms and conditions. He upholds the
right of men to be adequately paid
and to work under acceptable condi-
lions. But his claim is that when a
dispute over these things brings about
a condition which threatens the com
fort and safety and even, perhaps, the
lives of the great majority, then the
great majority, acting thru its only
agent. the government, has the SUI
preme right to adjust the dispute.
The machinery advocated by him to
accomplish this carries the power to
right whatever wrong may have
caused the dispute, which. of course
means that it can adjust wages and
conditions on the one hand and pass
upon the ability to pay on the other
hand.
AS Governor Allen views it, a labor
organization can not be permitted to
develop to its logical end as now con-
Quoted. He foresees the time when
every industry would be nationally or
ganized and capable of tying up the
production and distribution of any me-
cessity however vital, with labor head
quarters the real capitol of the United
States, with the present capitol a mere
ornamental adjunct and the affairs
of the United States controlled and
dictated by a few men responsible in
no sense to the people as a whole.
Defending the right of every man
to his just reward for labor performed
in whatever capacity, Governor Allen
would set up legal governmental ma
chinery to guarantee him that reward
His Kansas court is the rough model
from which he would work. That
court entrance would be free to the
citizen whether he came in an organ
lied group or singly. All expenses for
attorneys, witnesses, transcripts or
anything else would be paid by the
government. Appeal from that court,
in case of injustice alleged. would be
directly to the highest court of appeal,
again with expenses paid.
BY this means Governor Allen be-
lieves the necessity for the strike
would be forever eliminated. For by
its labor unions and unorganized labor
would be equally protected. and by its
votes labor at any time could unseat
the authority that presumed to place
upon the bench an unfair court.
THAT Governor Allen has a strong
following turnout the country" says
the Detroit News. lis apparent already.
Perhaps not all of those who admire
/ his position have his full faith in the
remedy he proposes. and would prefer
to pass judgment after a more thoro
trial. but there is no dispute over his
| general principle that the whole peo-
pie have the supreme right to protect
themselves against disputes among a
] part of the people, when such disputes
constitute menace"
