Service at Cost Plus

The price of service furnishes an
underlying principle that affects all
industry. Profiteers got rich on "ser-
vice at cost plus ten per cent" Crook
I'd operators made the service cost as
they could. since every additional
dollar expended added ten per cent to
their illgotten wealth.
The public naturally likes to get
service at as near cost as posi- Bile.
The scheme has been talked about a
great deal with reference to street car
operation, because every one who
rides on these cOnveyances is very
particular not to have the transporta-
ton company collect undue dividends
on his fares.
Service at cost, said Calvert
Townley, one of the principal engine
ers of the country, in discussing the
Boston Elevated railway affair, does
not mean that the people will get
service at low price. Costs" he
added, ''gO up because nobody in the
organization gains by keeping it
down" His theory is that progress
slve, constructive investment comes
only where vigOr and brains have Il
chance for gain, and are therefore
willing to take corresponding risk
OF loss.
In the process of lowering prices.
through which the country is passing,
the question of service plays an i'm
portant part Nothing of value
should be bought at cost What the
American public evidently wants is
the opportunity to purchase IN the
open market, free of restraint, and at
prices that will be sufficient TO pro-
tect capital and its investments, la
Dor and its rights and wages. And
that is about all they do want
such process does not contemplate
service at cost" or Service at a
low price. 1t contemplates the en-
forcement of the Golden Rule.

WORK AND SAVE.

The world owes no able-bodied
Stacker a living He must go out
among his fellows and earn it. The
character Of that living depends sole
y upon the mental and physical equip

seasing efforts The work Stacker in
peace times is as much d menace To
his country as his prototype in times
of war. He is costing his country
millions every year, and he it is who
Is pushing ever upward the cost OF
living through reduction of output and
effort. More individual effort and
more production viii bring down the
cost of living and thereby remove dis
tress, says Washington Post. Thrift
Is the lever through which this war
worn world is TO be stabilized, for
neither the nation nor the individual
can get back to a rational basis 80
long as the desire to indulge in reck-
less spending controls it. Work and

ing generation, for upon the character
of those now entering upon mans es-
tate depends the future of this nation.

farming, and these young men are in
demand for farm managers and ranch
superintendents at salaries ranging
from $500 to $1,000 a year This
looks like fine business both ways. 1t
is well that the colleges recognize the
Importance Of husbandry and it is well
that a student who painstakingly
adopts such a career should find in
slant appreciation and reward. Agri-
culture is inclined to fall into two
