Roy A. jackson, Supervising Priu-
cipal OF tho Springfield IN. J) COM
bined Primary, Grammar and High

teaching stan of the town, including
Mr.. jackson. has resigned. The Su-
pervising Principal is below medium
height. He has mouse-colored POM
padour, a hooked nose, sharp blue
eyes and a lasting belief that he Is
not getting a square deal at the
hands Of the Board Of Education.
The board insists, on the contrary,
that the deal they are handing Super
visfng Principal jackson is perfectly
rectangular, and any unpleasant incl
dent that has occurred to mar the
even tenor of Mr.. Jackson's life has
been precipitated by himself and not
by the board.
"The trouble is" said Mr., Jackson,
that a certain party in Springfield
made the remark in the presence OF
my commercial teacher that all Su-
pervising Principal Jackson was good
for in Springfield was TO hug the lady
teachers
IL may be mentioned that Mr.. jack
son has only one arm and that he Is,
perhaps, the only one-arTned super
Vislng principal in the United States
II suppose that story about my
hugging the teachers reached the
Board OF Education" continued Mr..
Jackson. 81 had been having trouble
with the board. They had been crlti-

nine members has been near 1t In two
years. Finally 1 wrote out my resig-

there was no truth in 1t. Then thl.
member of the board said he had hear(
rumors circulated around town that
was closeted incomunicado after
school, in my private office, with som'
Of the lady teachers.
"I demanded an investigation. They
said there was nothing to investigate
Thereupon all the teachers who hadn

Mr.. Jackson said her has Teta'ne'

EIGHTY CENT GAS
HELD CONFISCATORY
Special Master Reports That
Consolidated Company Is
Not Making Money Now.

Abraham S. Gilbert, special master,
who was appointed by the Federal
Court to revfe wthe case Of the Con-
solidated Gas Company, made a pre-
lfminary report to-day. holding that 80

based on testimony in the action OF the
Consolidated Gas Company In an effort

years.
The report set worth that the Con

month used in the report, and that In
order to make as much as per cent. on
its investment 1t would be entitled to
charge 81 per thousand cubic feet OF
gas. II also is held that 1t Is imprsc-
tlcabae to insist upon a twenty-five
candle power lighting basis because OF
the comparatively small amount OF gas
used for lighting purposes.
The operation Of the gas company"

Broadly speaking, II is felt here
that the peak in prices has been
reached and that the tendency Of the
average American to refuse 10 pay
the prices being asked OF him Is the
first and necessary step in The men,
tai process that makes economy. Any
one who buys a suit of clothes, a pair

OF shoes, or any other item OF apparel
or builds a house, or motors a single
mile that isn't absolutely necessary
does that much to keep UP the high
cost of living. That's one principle
which is being emphasized.
EVERY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT
ADDS TO COST OF LIVING.
Every State, city, or town that is
sues bonds for q single Improvement
that isn't essential simply adds that,
much more weight to the credit sys-
tern of the country, So long as
America consumes In money moro
than IL produced; 80 long as America
is buying less from Europe than she
is selling ana foreign exchange Is
thereby deranged; 30 long as foreign
trade is confused by uncertainty over
the political situation In Europei so
long as France waits on America or
depends upon payments of German
reparation, or tho rest of Europe
garlbles on Russia srecoveryi 50
long as America is unable to trade
with Germany because Of the absence
of a treaty OF peace, there will re-
main features OF destruction instead
OF construction.
That's another fundamental prin-
ciple which one encounters In study
ing the viewpoint OF Government Of
ficials. Entirely apart from the
blame that attaches to the President
or the Senate for the failure Of the
United States 10 have a peace treaty
with Germany, there is distinct
feeling that the world would have
gone forward by a good many stages
in the economic cycle II peace had
n y
Incidentally, officials still look
askance at France and wonder how
long the French politicians will wait
before taking courageously in hand
the tax problem and raising money
by taxation Instead OF loans. Com
mendatlon for the British fiscal sys-
tenn in taxing to the utmost Is heard
again and again. For the universal
| sentiment seems TO be that nations
must flnd their economic salvation In
their own efforts at greater produc-
ton rather than in continued bor-
rowing or leaning on other countries.
CROP OUTLOOK AIDS IN ARGUS
ING CONFIDENCE.
Optimism-yet by no means over
conildence-creeps out as officials
survey the prospect of better crops
| throughout the world. Europe is ex-
pected TO reap more succesfu
! harvest from this years planting. il
should help raise Che spirits as wei
as the credit OF European countries
But as for the United States, there's
one tip which may develop into q
nation wide movement II public sen.
timent gets behind It and sees It's tru'
value. IT'S the tip to buy Government
securities at the present low levels
The idea seems to be that II enough
people in this country suddenly de
cided to get along without luxurie
and Invested their savings in Govern
ment securities, the prices OF thos
securities would promptly rise an
, go higher while the costs OF cOmmodi
Ties held at fictitious levels by proh
teers or by artificial demand woul
begin to drop.
As long as America Is extravagan
I prices will not go doWn. AS long a
America Is thrifty and begins TO d
without things, prices will tumble
The Government bids the public thin
: a little less of Government econom
: ana more Of Individual thrift, and tn
, two together may help the natio
breast the treacherous tides OF recon
struction days.
