LOU ]. BEAUCHAMP

That was a splendid tribute of love
and appreciation shown to Lou j.
Beauehamp by the Rotary Club and
Hamilton citizens on last Saturday
night. It was beautiful tribute to a
wonderful man. Many kind things
were eloquently spoken to Mr.. Beau
champ, but none more than he is de-
serving of. No man is more loved
nor kindly spoken of in Hamilton to-
day than is Lou J. Beauchamp. And
why shouldn't it be so? He is the
greatest optimist in the city. He says
Take the sunny side" And he prac-
tees what he breaches. He radiates
sunshine wherever he goes, never for
getting Hamilton and always boosting
the town. How much better off Ham
ilton would be if there were more Lou
]. Beauchamps and few less pessi-
mists in her midst!

HELP YOURSELF
HELP YOUR CITY
~ M R @ IA

Help yourself help your city;
that IS what some one is going to
ask you to do on one of the two days
of the campaign January 2O-21. And
what more could you ask for? To
help yourself and thereby help your
city Or you might reverse it and
help your city, and thereby help your
self, especially if you are renter.
It is just this. The city is short just
about 1000 homes right now, and will
be more about the time the Ford plant
gets to going. Men are seeking and
begging for homes and are offering
any old price to secure one. And it
isn't natural that house owners will
refuse the big prices offered. Conse-
quently rents are sky high and will
remain so until the supply of homes
come near the demand for them. II
is a cinch that if all the houses sur
rounding the one you occupy go up ir
rent, your landlord, that is, if you
have one, believes that he is entitled
to more money and up goes your rent
Now there are many of our people
who desire to build homes, but who
in order to do so must borrow at leas
part Of the money, but there is n,
place to borrow from. The building
associations are willing to make tn
loans, but they are broke" at tn

The Price Problem.

The Massachusetts Commission on Nee
essaries Of Life has made a report that is
well worth careful reading and reflection,
but it will afford little comfort to persons
who suppose that profiteerins is specific
offense, like arson or murder. and who de-
mand that everybody accused Of pro6teer
ing shall be sent to the penitentiary, if not
before firing squad
The economics Of trade is complicated
matter. Everybody buys at as low price
o.. as possible and sells at as high price,
and gets as much as he can for his own
services. The war reduced the supply Of
goods and increased the demand, which
necessarily favored advances in prices.
Labor got about the first of these. Wages
advanced before price advances became
marked. The Massachusetts commission
found that there was some prohteering
in the narowest meaning of the term there
were some cases OF extortionate demands.
But for the most part it found no profit
eering except that which is involved in
getting the market price. Persons who got
the market price for their goods and their
services are too numerous to be proceeded
against by the fraction of the community
that had no chance to.
What makes the market price is lot Of
impersonal forces and conditions and of in
dividual actions which are very similar to
individual actions at any time. The largest
factor in making market prices during the
war, and the influence continues, was buy
ing by Governments, which bought on an
enormous scale because they had to have
the commodities. and because they could
pay for them. no matter what the prices
were. But the diversion of millions OF
men from peace TO war industry, and the
destruction Of vast quantities Of commodi-
ties. contributed to the same end.
The Massachusetts, commission finds that
production has decreased more than the
working hours have. and they have decreas-
ed six or eight week. The decreased
working time does not necessarily decrease
output or increase costs Of production. but
the commission finds that production has
decreased more than working hours have.
At the same time extravasance is mani
Tested everywhere. The trade reports have
fsmiliarized US with the Unsuitable demand
for silk goods and other articles of luxury for
q year. Merely as an Illustration. the COM
mission gives the details Of the enormous
Increase in the sales Of women's silk stock
ings By six department stores
There is some actual extortion. and
there have been some convictions for it.
But the high level Of prices is not due to
this. but to the fact that everybody takes
advantage Of favorable conditions to get a
high price for what he sells. The advance
was noticeable in wages before it was in
prices. and wages cannot 60 up and prices
down unless there is a great increase in
the efficiency Of labor and largely in
creased output. Putting a few extortion-
ers in jail is not going to have great effects
but there are already indications of
changes in conditions which may bring
down the cost Of living; and they may
also cause dull business.
