PREDICTS NO oloNeEp DEPRESSION.

Granting that depression Is inevi-
table the economist Of the National
City Bank of New York is convinced
that prolonged depression is i'm
probable. It points out that there Is
kstill great amount Of work in ar
rears and an imperative need for
construction work and the produc-
ton OF goods for ourselves as well as
for the rest OF the world. AS is the
case of house building, this work
may be checked by the rising costs
but that he asserts means that costs
must come down. with the assurance
that as they decline activity will re-
vive. There is a slackening in the
demand for our products abroad and
| an increase In our own importations,
both of which changes have an in
fluence for lower prices in our mar
kets-cd continuing the argument he
says:
This downward movement is nat
urally resisted in many quarters, as
various interests struggle to entrench
themselves. but in the long run all
will do better to show a spirit Of CO.
operation in finding the new level to
which the economic forces are tend
ing. It must be rem rendered that the
highest prosperity for every interest
Is to be found in q state of balanced
industry, in which everybody Is en-
ployed and buying freely OF the
product OF others. Idleness anvw,,tt-a
in the Industrial circle affects every
body in that circle unfavorably. and
full employment everywhere means
that products must be exchangeable
on the normal, accustomed. basis. II
one class of products falls, the pro-
ducers OF that group win be able to
bury less Of the products Of others un-
less the latter come down also. The
resolution Of this or that group as to
what theyfwill have for their services
amount to little when the buying
power OF the other groups decline.
A wage-earner who II working only
half the time at tho old rate may az
sure himself for q while that his
wages have not been reduced, but
the truth will eventually find its way
home.
The feeling In banking circles Is
more settled and confident because Of
a belief that the spiral movements of
wages and prices has been checked,
and that this being true the situa-
ton is In tn way OF working itself
out. When the people Of this country
really set themselves to the task OF
paying their debts they are certain
to accomplish something, and Moth
Ing will help them to that resolution
like falling prices.

the "Pedlar and his Dog" to which
attention has been directed by the
discovery of boundary stone OF
"Pedlar's Acre." on the site of tho
new county hall, was removed from

Westminster Gazette.
Quite recently Chancellor Prescott
of Carlisle refused a faculty a stain

WHERE YOUR 1913 WENT.

You lost $3.13 last year by fire
Didn't have fire loss7 You are
mistaken. You lost $3.13 by the fire
losses last year. That Is the PEI
capita loss in the U. s. from fire
Somebody paid 1t. The insurance
company? Why man the insurance
company simply took your ssls
and mine after having collected 1t in
premiums from US and handed it tc
the insured person who had s,if-
fered the direct loss. That's all. We
paid it.
We are paying now for the waste
OF war, for the inestimable and in
comprehensive destruction and the
burning up OF labor diverted from
production to destruction. We tlre
paying it in prices for the products
that he all need and must have,
When any form Of wealth is d'ss-
troyed we all pay, muct or little we
pay. And we pay the fire losses
It cost US 1896, 100000 last year to
pay for fires. Most OF those fires
might have been avoided. Some OF
them were from carelessness end
soms OF course by design and some
were "viaitAtions." But most OF Dur
fires are to be attributed to si4mple
carelessness and lack OF preventa-
tive measures.
Defects in heating apparatus ne
elected, basement piled with Boxes
and excelsior and litter. carelessn ess
in the business block and in the
home. lack of rigid land frequent In
spection, they are al in, the $685.
100000 we paid for fires. Your S,I.1s
is there tho you never smelled
smoke during 1919.
Three hundred and twenty-five
million dollars Is altogether too
much to pay as penalty for ne
eject and carelessness. Three dollars
and thirteen cents Is q per capita
tax that If It were laid directly and
charged to carelessness would set
each Of us making unqualified pro-
test.
Why pay It? Why not insist on
inspection that inspects and protec-
tive and punitive measures directed
against those whose earelessI,ess

BIRD posslss FOR EXCISE FEES. !"

Editorial. Wig OF xshr eta
4 The Burlington Gazette refers to
the murder OF "a useful citizen of.
that city. the victim Of q bullet fred
by another whose reason had been.
temporarily dethroned by imbit,ing
poison liquor illicitly peddled.' The
Gazette complains that neither fed
eral nor city officers appear to "be
able to cope with the bootlegging evil
be their efforts ever 80 assiduoua or
honest" It complains OF the STUFF"
that IL being sold and is worried be-
cause there is no restraining gov
ernmept,supervision in the way Of the
exaction OF an excise fee"
The Gazette Is seemingly much more
worried over a murder resulting from
whisky sold by a bootlegger than it
was wont to be over murders result
tant from whisky sold by saloon
keepers. Tho meat OF the Gaseettes
complaint lies in the lack of can ex-
else fee" The article insiduouslS at
tempts to convey the suggestion that
IAN excise fee" would immediately
stop whisky murders and that the
officers would be able to cope" with
the situation II only the Excise Tee"
were the rule as In those halcyon
days when q saloonist paid license
and took his profit when the distiller
got thru and whisky was naturally
as mild as milk because Of IAN excise
fee."
The Gazette knows that booze
makes murder; THAT it makes pow
erty: that it robs children OF their
birthright and wives OF their homes.
II always knew it. It knew it when
It was the defender Of the saloon and
knows Il now and it knows that it
doesn't make much difference wheth-
er the murderous and poverty max
ing stuff was sold under IAN excise
tax" or by q bootlegger. Perhaps the
moonshine brings results sooner. It
all had and has murder in it whether
or not 1t pays AN excise Fee"
II the federal and city officers of
Burlington are unable to cope with
whisky sales It is because they are
