MARAT FIXED PRICES ALSO

Emperor Diocletian and President Wilson are not the only monarchs who have proved that price-fixing is a fizzle Take Marat, for instance. He fixed up everything nicely in the way of prices, and the result was a mob of 10000 starving Parisians who broke into the shops and killed their proprietors, who were wrongly accused of hoard. ing and extortion.
 This was in 1790. The set of maxi mum prices began at first only with grain. Dealers were required to de- clare the exact amount in stock, were allowed to sell only in designated mar kets, and at pice any deviation from which brought drastic penalties Citi- sens were limited to the sale and pur- chase of only one months supply. Moreover, the seller had to accept his pay for his grain in assignats This paper currency was daily dGpreciat-
  sought to keep it at par by forcing dealers to accept it at it's face value Any dealer who demanded specie in place of assignats, or even hinted or asserted that assignats had depre- ciated in value, was first liable to a punishment of six years in prison, second offense meant twenty years, and third death Later on the maxi mum prices were applied to numerous other commodities, and the efforts to keep down the cost of living in this way were continued through 1791 and the four following years.
 But all dealers refused to sell their grain or other products at the prices named. Industry came to standstill There was a cessation of free labor. The fields were poorly cultimated or cultivated not at all No buildings were erected and horses and car riages disappeared. Want and desti- tuition became general and finally, upon the outbreak of riot and murder, the laws were repealed and the law of supply and demand allowed to take it's place in adjusting conditions.
 All government efforts at price-fixing have been failures. So also was the 1 manly edict of old Jack Cade in Eng land. This parsonage, in behalf of i his following, willed reform in the following edict:
 '"There shall be in England seven 1 Aalfpenny loaves sold for a penny; the three-hoope- pot shall have ten hoops; and I will make it a felony to drink small beer"

The announcement of c. H. Flory, forest supervisor, that his bureau is authorized to make sales of timber in sufficient quantity and covering suf- ficient period of time to justify the installation of pulp mills in Alaska, is the best news Alaskans have heard for long time.
 The operation of pulp mills not only means the employment of large num- bers of workers, but it means also the employment of such workers through out the year. In fact, the felling of timber for pulp purposes could be car ried on in the winter as we'll as in the summer if not better. The result is that fishermen and men in other em-

PENWOMEN'S OWL
WON'T H00T TODAY

The owl will not hoot this after
noon a: the new coffee room OF the
League OF American Pen Women.
The owl is willing to hoot all right.
but there are other and more potent
reasons why the opening of the cof-
fee room has been postponed from
this afternoon TO next Tuesday after
noon.
As the "Old Salt" would say. IT'S
a sad tale mates"
As Mrs. william Atherton DuPuy,
president OF the league, would and
does say. 1T sounds ridiculous, ]
know. But it's the truth"
The truth TO which Mrs. DuPny
refers is that the chairs which are
to be placed in the "Hoot o. the OWL
coffee room, and which have been
generously covered with a coating Of
coal black paint absolutely refused
to dry in time.
"Of course we want our friends to
stick by us and all that" said Mrs.
DuPuy, but when ! think Of all
these shimmery organdie and geosg-
ette dresses the women are wearing
these days, l shiver to think what
might have happened had we gone
ahead and had the opening before
those chairs were dry"

London, Oct. 3o-For some little
time now the dress train has been
creeping into favor. At first It ap-
peared as a diminutive hsh tail. and
then 1t developed, just as q tadpole
into a frog, into something larger
The new trains are singuarly at
tractive. A particular invention
which is delighting everyone Is a
little velvet OF silken band to be
worn around the wrists, and 10
which the sides of the big square
trains are attached
The effect of a wide, black net

held by the movements of the arms,
is rairylike 1t has the stateliness OF
the Goddess Of Night herself

other lovely train is Of gold tissue.

hands are raised the beauties OF pat.

vantage.
Every woman who Is clever with
her needle can make these little

season
Many OF the new evening frocks
have been executed in chiffon vel
vet, in marvellous hues and colors
and these have trains that begin in

gracefully to the hem OF the gown
These trains are frequently made OF

TAX0N VACANT
LOTSHISPLAN
Would Force Solution of
Housing Problem, Says
W. |. Swanton.

A plea for the adoption OF a tar
on vacant lots as one means Of fore
ing a solution Of the housing prob
lem is contained in an open letter
from W. !. Swanton. secretary sf the
Single Tax. Association. to the Hous-
ing Committee Of the Real Estate
Brokers Association OF Washing
ton, a copy Of which was sent 10
The Washington Herald.
While admitting that the way 10
encourage the building Of homes
is to exempt them from taxation
Swanton says that TO the same
extent that home building IS encour-
aged this method offers an incentive
10 owners Of eligible (Unimprovcc'
building sites TO further advance
prices upon their speculative hold
ings; which is the principal handI-
cap TO building operations even
now, but IL is equally true that this
obstruction policy can be effectively
counterscted by taxing such vacant
sites high enough to make holding
them out OF use no longer profit
able"
He further pointed out in the let
ter that repressive measures as eE-
emplified in the salisbury resolution
and the Ball rent law were not ef-
fective as they DO not reach the root
Of the evil To raise the rate q
interest on mortgages is an Ob!eC-
tionable means OF encouraging in
vestments in building operations
because 1t is another step in tho
vi~io,-s circle OF the high cost or
living" he concluded.
