ECONOMICAL GOVERNMENT.
This has been an economical gov
eminent" Mayor Ainslie said. For
the first time in the city's history de-
partments OF the government turned
back q aIance in the city treasury
during 1919, and this happened after
appropriation for each department
had been cut to the narrowest margin
Turning back funds into a city treas

Once upon a time the So
called Cheap" suit used to
cost about half the price of a
good one. 81
Today the "cheap" suit sells
for almost as much as the bet
ter qualities.
This principally because
there is no longer any more
cheap" labor.
SO why not have the best.
One good suit always out
wears two poor ones. Besides,

We have intimsted several occasions that
would present sound and usabe remedy for pres
ent high prices, and probable cure for continued
increased prices in the future.
Our proposed remedy not based on glittering gen.
erates unavoidable theories II will be obvious
to any citizen-man woman--that when it is
understood, it will be that it accomplish its
purpose.
The only requisites for its effectiveness are deter
mnation and cooperation 1t will work actual
hardships anyone. 1t will make better citizens
of all because it will give practical lesson in
economy.
The movement, when in active operation, should
spread all the nation. 1t is logical, easy
to comprehend, that its popularity should go like
widfre into the daily life. of all America and all
Americans.
Some persons may believe at first thought that it
will entail certain hardships-that it will work dis
this is not the 1t will work to the benefit Of
everyone-landord, merchant, consumer, laborer,
lawyer, doctor, banker, ditch-digger, capitalist.
Explained in the simplest language possible our pro-
posed remedy is as follows:
Instead of buying that suit of clothes tomorrow,
cleaned and pressed-and wear it for another 60
days
Instead of buying that pair of shoes, take your
old ones to the shoe shop and have them repaired
Instead of going to the barber shop every morning.
learp to shave yourself
next week, put it off until next summer; it will
wait
Instead of buying that electric washing
chine, make the old do for a few weeks longer
If you have already, and believe it will reduce
your laundry bill to buy one get machine-but not
the most expensive electric washer you find
Wait few weeks before you buy that new vacuum
cleaner. Rent one If necessary. the broom
awhile longer.
Instead of starting that residence tomorrow,
wait 60 days. Of course you have the money in the
bank to pay for it-but keep your money in the
bank a few weeks longer. You know that materials
are high. If the present demand continues they
will GO higher. Tulsa isn't going to die just because
two three rooms If necessary until the present
critical situation is past. 1t won't hurt YOU
Instead of buying all those expensive groceries, try
be just healthy and happy if you eat more sub
stantial and common foods
Here is what Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, noted food ex-,
pert and economist, says about eating: "Our
diet contains luxurious amount of high-priced
foods 1t could be materially cheapened without be-
ing in the least deterioriated We have the lowest
consumption Of cereals and potatoes of any people
on earth w complain of the high cost living. but
we refuse to change type of living. We cannot
move back along the road to normal prices until we
increase consumption of cereals and reduce
consumption of meats fruits poultry and eggs. The
present diet of France consists of 60 per cent flour
and its products in Italy, 20 per cent in Japan the
diet consss of 80 per cent of cereals In all of these
countries there is the full maintenance of normal
triton. In the United States but one-third of
diet is cereals. Here we have chance to eat more
$3.50 to 5000 annually"

El Paso. Texas, August 3-Failure
of Villa to arrive at Torreon TO meet
Huerta caused the belief that Villa
may not have decided TO lay down
his arms. mud is simply making the
government the object of another
trick. He has tricked the govern
ment before in a similar manner.
III Paso. Texas, August 5-The
belief is spreading that Villa trieked
the Mexicnn government. following a
dispatch in the newspapers of Chi
hauhan. stating that Villa had not
been heard from for three or four
days. II is reported that he Is head

RAILROAD RATE RAISE WILL
NOT EFFECT n. C. L. UNLESS
PR0FiTEERlhG OCCURS
Especial by United Press)

Washington. August, 3-Any ap-
preciable increase in the cost OF liv-
ing following the raise in railroad
rates will be due to proiiteering and
not TO legitimate. causes, according
to w. J.,Lanck.
He declared that il need not fol-
low that food and clothing would
go up in price unless freight rate
increases were multiplied by four or
five when passed ON to consumers.
lie said that the great industries
could well afford To deduct from the
price of their products the freight
rate increase. The maximum effect
on the price OF meat would be not
more than cent pound increase,
and on flour not more than thirty
three cents per barrel.
On suit of clothes made in the
east and sold on the Pacific coast,
the freight would be about nine
cents. Lanck forecasted an increase
crease Of seventy-iivc cents to one
dollar and thiriy-four cents on n
ton of coal.
