RAISING Subscription Rates.

Quincy Wing: The general public
hardly realizes that revolution has
taken place in newspaper making.
Costs of material of all kinds, labor.
TELEGRAPH tolls, everything in fact that
goes into the manufacture of a news
paper has mounted with increases
/ from 100 per cent. to 500 per cent. with
| in the past twenty-four months. The
result of this is now being put into
effect by most newspapers. Ultima
!tely all newspapers will be, faced by
the alternative of raising subscription
! rates or so materially reducing the
quality of the newspaper that it can
mot stay in business.
The average publisher is resolved to
maintain his newspaper standard. I'm
der present circumstances it will re-
sQuire the exercise of greater degree
of editorial intelligence There win
be finer discrimination in the seIec-
ton and presentation OF news; better
whole the reader will profit. Old
days of two cent per pound are gone
forever; and gone are the old waste
full methods OF forcing circulation at
all costs.
Newspaper subscription rates have
been slow to respond TO the impulse
! OF higher costs and seem now
to be put into effect only as a last-re-
F.: sort to help meet the tremendous ex-
pense of publication. But such in
creases are inevitable and newspaper
readers will manifest their Willingness
I to share part of the burden as they
thoroughly understand the necessity.

What Spargo Thinks Of Lenil

John Spargo, in Harper's Magazine:
Numerous critics of socialism have
based their criticisms upon the as
sumption that it's program involved
the subjugation of the individual to
an all-powerful state; complete sup
preston of individualis7n. Many fan
tastic descriptions of life in such a
state have been written, all of them
conferred upon the conception of "the
absolute submission of the masses to
the single will of those who direct
the labor process" Socialits in every
land have repudiated these fantastic
speculations and laughed them to
scorn, for the average socialist is a
vigorous individualist and seeks
through socialism larger Individual
ism. 1t has remained for Lenine and

AND NOW PALMER -ExPLAINs. :"

ATTORNEY General Palmer tries to pass the
buck to congress in explaining the causes Tor
the high price of sugar. Before the house com.
mittee investigating the subject he has testified
that President Wilson would have bought the en-
tire Cuban crop last year at a low Inquire II con-
gress had not ignored his request for necessary
legislation. Mr. Palmer viii have a hard time
making the people believe that the admInlstra-
ton is innocent of putting bllllon-dollar sugar
tax upon them They know that the 1918 Cuban
crop was bought by the government, and they
also know that all the laws under when that
purchase was made were in force last year, and
could have been resorted to by the president IN
acquiring the 1919 crop if he had been disposed
to do So Instead he gave so little attention TO
the matter that he even failed to acknoWledge
the urgent appeals addressed to MN by Che
sugar equalization board to make the purchase
The people are paying the price now IN buying
sugar at thirty three cents pound
Far from feeling any regret over ms ACTON
in permitting Louisiana sugar to be sold at the
at seventeen and eighteen cents
1,onnd Mr.. Palmer declared that his action saw
cd the country millions on what would have
been charged. AS a matter of fact the fixing
of the price for the Louisiana product--only
about a fortieth of the total consumption OF the
J-nitnd States-set the standard for all sugars,
and II has been discovered that sugar has been
mnorted into Louisiana from Cuba, and then
resold as the Louisiana product. Every person
who has made study of the sugar shortage has
testified to the same effect-that the failure OF
the president to buy the 1919 Cuban crop,
connled with the action Of the attorney general
in fixing the price for the Louisiana cane crop,
has forced the American consumer to pay a bill
lion dollars in excess sugar prices.

Timothy Shea tells the railroad wage board
that the raise in wages demanded by the rail
road men will not affect costs OF transport In
cidentally he is reported as saying that the Ia
Dor cost in a fourteen-dollar pair OF shoes is
less than one dollar. In this statement Mr.
Shea directly contradicts the testimony OF shoe
manufacturers and, it would seem, of common
sense. In the implied principle that rise in
costs of operation Of railroads the wage scale
has not been a predominating factor, Mr.. Shea
contradicts known facts. These statements that
run current so freely are nothing more nor less
than fool talk and are so estimated by a think
ing public.

WATERWAY 4
FACT UNDER
COv,LOWDEN
Illinois Executive Carries Project
TO Success After Others
Fail.
LINKS LAKES TO MISSISSIPPI
improvement Of Vast Importance to
Mississippi Valley and Northwest
All Bars TO Actual Con-
structlon Removed.

One of the outstanding achievements
Of Gov. Frank o, Lowden's admins
tration in Illinois was the putting
through of the Illinois waterways prof.
ect which will cost S20,O00.000 and
provide water connection between the
Great Lakes and the Mississippi river.
The project has been under discus
sion for more than 20 years, and
several state administrations have
struggled in vain with this important
problem. 1t remained for Governor
Lowden to carry the great improve
ment through to success.
The last bar to the project was re-
moved January l6 with the issuance
of a permit by the secretary of war
authorizing the state to proceed al
once with the improvement. The be-
ginning of actual construction work
is now but a matter of short time,
and completion Of the water link at
last becomes a visible goal. Tremen-
dous benefits will be realized by all
classes of business interests In the
Mississippi valley as the result of
the opening of the water route
1.-THE waterway will be of immense
value to farmers Of the great produc-
Ing region of the entire Mississippi
valley and the Northwest" Governor
Lowden said. "The Illinois project
will be In accord with the improve
ment Of the Mississippi, Ohio and Mis-
souri, rivers by the federal govern
ment for navigation, Locks will be 600
feet long, 10 feet wide, accommodate
ing fleets of barges carrying $500 to
5000 tons of fre ght, the equivalent
of six to eight average train loads.
Before the war and the Increase
of rail freight rates a ton of freight
was carried a thousand miles by wa
ter as cheaply as fifty miles by rail.
This Is a fair indication of the benefit
to be afforded the public by the work
when 1t is completed, Its value Is
now enhanced by the government re-
quirement of interchange of freight by
railroad at suitable water terminal
points throughout the country"
The waterway will follow the
drainage canal from Chicago to Lock
port from which the connection will
be made with the Illinois river at
Utica by barge canal eight feet deep,
which may later be deepened to IA
feet, as conditions require. In addl-
tion to the great advantages to com
merce, water power valued at approx
mately S1,000000 year will be devel-
oped which will effect saving of ap-
proximately 100000 tons of coal an
nually.
The surveys and engineering work
for the Improvement have been under
the direction of NJ. G. Barnes who,
