DEFEND ACTION IN
 MOVING MEDICAL
 SCHOOL AT MOBILE
tContinued from Page Five)

i(COnttnued from Page Ftve) adequate that we are continually vexed and harassed by the problem of finding
 money to pay for the necessities of | life.
 For these reasons we have within a year lost two professors to out-of-state colleges. fhere they receive larger re- muneration. It is increasingly diff cult to fill the vacancies thus created with men of equal ability and training. It is obvious that this condition can
 not, in justice to the institution and to the state. be permitted to continue in- definitely. We submit that the most critical problem confronting the uni versity is not the problem of the med ical school with it's small group of fifty students, but the problem of caring for the 1,200 young men and women on this campus, and without further financial discrimination in meeting their educational needs. We submit that any appeal to the legislature that does not first of all, look to correct ing the existing inequalities would i'm volve radical lack of appreciation of the outstanding problem and the out standing duty of the university.
 NOT ISOLATED PROBLEM "We repeat that this is not an iso- lated problem. Nor is 1t a problem to be dealt with in an ex parte, emotional fashion. Overshadowing the problem or any single department is the prob lem of all the departments. We make appeal for large. fair and just com federation of this matter. The crux of the situation. of course. is the habitual parsimony of the state to all its insti- tutions of higher learning. We are certain that this problem cannot be solved in the case of the university by still further discrimination in favor of one of it's departments to the detri- ment of all other departments of the institution That policy has proceeded to the utmost limit. It is inconceivable that the university authorities or the Legislature can approve any policy that would demand, or even suggest. the further starvation of six departments in order to give still greater relative lfinancial advantage to a single depart ment They will feel that their first
 great duty Is to remedy the existing discrimination.

CAUSE OF. HIGH PRICES
PROFITEERS NOT WAGES CAUSE
INCREASED COST OF LIVING
ROOT OF THE TROUBLE.

Mr.. W. Jett Lauck has presented to-
the Railroad Labor Board mass OF
interesting evidence in behalf of the
railroad workers demand for higher
wages. He says that although $1,7OO
a year is generally recognized as CIV
ing only the barest subsistence for
family of five, 1870 of the railroad
workers are not receiving that much
and 100000 are getting less than $l,O75
a years.
Much of his report deals with figures
which show that the high cost of liV-
ing is due chiefly to general profiteer-
ing by business concerns and not to
high wages or salaries received by
labor. The published reports of cor
porations making a million year in
lines of business particularly affecting
the general public were examined and
the results tabulated. 1t was found
that while these corporations made an
average of $40 in the three years be-
fore the war, during 1916, 1917, and
1918 they made 1880, almost three
times as much.
After examining the reports of the
Federal Trade Commission, Mr.. Laucl1
learned that while sugar went up
5000, higher labor costs have only
taken 1870 of the higher price. Stand
ard shoes went up $3.50 pair but
labor costs took only IS cents of the
$3.50. Bituminous coal went up four
times as much as the labor cost. Sim
liar figures were presented for meat
packing, canned goods, textiles, cloth
| ing and dry goods, petroleum, iron
and steel, metal products, railroad
equipment, building materials and mis-
cellaneous articles.
Most of the report deals with the
figures up to 1918, but other evidence
for 1919 indicates that since the
armistice the total profits have re-
manned about the same. Greater suf
fering, however, has resulted because
mercantile establishments and peace
time industries producing goods bought
by all the people have been receiving
the larger profits during the last year
