LOWER PRIC

According to news reports there is a wave Of price reduction sweeping the entire country mainly among the clothing and dry goods commodities, To the thoughtful there is much spec ulation as to whether it is in the na- ture of a permanent reduction, or mainly due to temporary need of money. Is the H. c. L. coming down, has it paused in it's mad flight up ward? According to reports from financial circles it Is the first visible results of the efforts of the govern ment through the agency of the fed eral system The banking policy of the country today is to curtail credit call in loans of aIl speculative enter prises. The wholesaler. who is holding more goods than necessary to meet his legitimate requirements, holding them for still higher prices, is being forced to place them on the market in order to get the money. This is i'm
 madiataly felt and acted upon by the retailer. reaching the consumer. The same policy is not carried out in eX- tending money and credits to produc- tive enterprises. Loan 10 farmers arc especially encours ge5. Tie govern ment believes that in this way pro- duction may he increased and specu- lation, boarding, and like evils be discouraged; believes that more sanity may be brought about in a systematic way. We may not hope to look for prices at the old time before the war level, The cost of production is too high for that to ever again be possible, but we are encouraged to hope that things may become more stable, and that there may be a gradual recession in prices rather than a continual up- ward climb. Such condition as We have been experimenting encourages hoarding. Why not? The News today is in the market for every sheet of paper that it can buy and pay for, years supply or even two, before the price goes still higher That would be good business and for our own and your protection, Ii might also be deemed good business from selfish standpoint for a man to buy all of any commodity that lie could pay for and get credit for and hold for a still high CT price, and then sell it and cleanup to begin and do the same thing over again world without end Again, why net? But he has produced nothing, he has tied up capital needed in legiti- mate business, and he has made the pu blic pay the higher price and given him his unearned profit This is the idea and plan as we understand it that the banking world has adopted. It looks sound. The legitimate business man has nothing to fear from it, the producer will be boosted as never be- fore and the consumer has all to win

HON. |. S. MASON A
REAL REPRESENTATIVE

Ohio county's Representative, the
Hon. l. S. Mason, made a record dur
ing the recent term of the General
Assembly that stands as credit alike
TO himself and the county. His in
dustry and iniative is demonstrated
by the number of important bills
passed that bear his name.
With the opening Of ibe session
Representative Mason was recognized
by appointment on some of the most
important committees of the house.
Among these were the Rules, Public
Roads, Taxation. Circuit Courts corr
mittees.
Perhaps the most directly in
portant of the bills to Mr.. Mason's
credit, locally considered, was the
measure requiring railroads of more
that fifty miles in length to run
passenger trains each way twice
day. This law makes serviceable a
railroad that has been junk line to
this county for several years.
other bills. the passage OF which
are to Mr.. Mason's credit are the bills
reorganizing the Adjutant Generals
office, which requires officials of
that department shall have had five
years of actual experience as a quail
fication to appointment, and also re-
ducing by several thousand dollars
annually the expense of the depart
ment; the law abolishing the office of
Confederate Pension commissioner.
which also saves the state several
thousand dollars a year: and the Sc
curing the passage of the Joint rate
bill which compels railroad companies
to handle cars from other lines at a
reasonable charge for such service
He also was the author of the reso-
luton to submit a Statewide amend
ment to the constitution to take the
office of State Superintendent OF
Schools out of politics by making the
office appointive instead of elective.
Ike was real Representative,
and justly deserves the approval ana
appreciation of his constituents.

NUMBER 80
OIL PRICE RAISE
PROBE is RAISED
40 Cent Gallon Gasoline Expected
Soon, Senator's Resolu-
ton Says.

Washington, March 23.-Reduc-
ton of the constantly increasing price
OF gasoline and oils is the purpose
of a resolution introduced in the
House today by Representative Dyer,
Republican, of Missouri.
The resolution directs the De-
partment of Justice to make an i'm
mediate investigation of the &C.
counts and operations of the various
oil concerns and to report to Con-
gress on the reasons of the present
high prices.
Representative Dyer pointed out
that four times since the middle of
January the retail price of gasoline
has been increased and further adj
vances are expected. He believes
that the rapidly rising prices may be
the result Of a combination in re-
straint of trade.
Experts of the Bureau of Mines
have informed the Missouri member
that they believe the price of gasoline
soon Will reach 40 cents a gallon. For
this reason Mr.. Dyer will press for
early consideration of his resolution.

EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT

Appointment of Joseph p. Byers by
the Board of Charities and Correc-
tions, as Commissioner OF Public IN
stitutions, marks the suspicious be-
ginning of the long-neglected task
of reform OF the various penal and
eleemosynary institutions. In choos-
ing Mr.. Byers, man of more than
thirty years successful experience
the Board of Charities and Correc-
tions begins as a body OF its per-
sonnet might be expected to begin.
There is excellent ground for hope
that Kentucky will, as a result or the
law enacted by the recent Legisia-
ture; as a result of the appointments
made by Governor Morrow and as
a result Of the good fortune OF the
Board of Charities and Corrections In
procuring Mr.. Byers, set hereafter
an example of how to manage the
several institutions. UP to this time
the state has provided an example OF
mismanagement Whlch mas peon "i'
tressing to every thoughtful and hui
name Kentuckian.
Mr.. Byers will face a considerable
task of reorganization, but he will be
associated in his new work with per-
sons who will cooperate with him
because they will share with him
profound interest in the work in
hand. Nothing which can be ,fore-
seen stands in the way of the really
great work of reform which demand
ed such law as the Legislature pass
ed and such a Board Of Charities and
Corrections as Governor Morrow ap
pointed. -Courier-Journal.
