Fair Pay for Teachers
Called Question Vital
To Interests of Nation

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: What subject at this time is
more opportune, more worthy of con-
cenSfated thought and some decisive
action than the problem of education
throughout the country?
There is no need to repeat or review
for~the public the reason for which
such an astounding number of our pub
lie school and university teachers are
deserting their classrooms, some for
the more remunerative future which a
business life holds for them, and a
Few. we are told, even for the foot
lights.
1t seems that there should be no
calling in life more to be honored or
of more vital importance to the nation
than the teaching Of our youth, unless
it be the ministry Of the Gospel.
The teachers and leaders of thought,
who are to quite an extent the mold
ersu of the America Of tomorrow
should receive compensation on q par
with the Importance of their work. 1t
is my belief that the Republican party
should adopt this vital question as a
party plank and a..ieavor to promul-
gate legislation which will guarantee
to the future a citizenship of learned
minds, athletic bodies and, before all
else, American men.

Curb the Spending Spree

TO the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In order that prevailing high
prices may be reduced, united action
is necessary by the producer, the con-
,un1er and the government.
The supply of foodstuffs, clothing
and other essentials should be made
entirely adequate to meet all demands:
Farmers and manufacturers will find
J. profitable in the end if they subordi-,
nate selfish considerations to public
needs and utilize all facilities for ban
ner production.
The consuming public should be
brought to realization of the possible
destructive consequences OF its present
spending spree. Education is careful,
buying will do much to stabilize
prices.
Finally, it appears advisable that the
government take these three measures:
TJfst, prohibit expectation until domes-
tic needs are amply provided for;
second, allow only a fair margin Of
profit; third, raise the immigration
bars sufficiently to alleviate the labor
shortage. j. w. FRIEDMAN.

Victory Next November
Said to Depend Mainly
Upon Choice of Candidate

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: "Why is Republican and what
is a~Democrat?' And the answer has
been given, Because one is born every
minute" Sober thought convinces me
that there is more truth than fiction to
that quip. 1t is deplorable fact that
at the present time there are no clean
cut issues upon which the two great po-
ltcal parties are divided.
II appears that victory at the polls
vt November depends more upon the
personality of the candidate than upon
what he represents. Also. we have be-
fore us the spectacle of party being
rent asunder through blind devotion to
a misguided leader, who has abandoned
the ideals he at one time professed.
History shows that. with one excep-
ton. a Democratic victory has been
succeeded by "hard times" Verify, a
period of sackcloth and ashes.
But in 1916 the reverse was true.
Prosperity followed the chariot of vic
tory. But what hysterical, delirious
prosperity 1t has been! Wages have
increased 75 per cent and the cost Of
living 110 per cent, and no man can
cay the end is in sight. The world has
run, amuck. Europe is in chaos. Re-
construction is the solution there
work.
But, as see 1t, the fundamental need
Of this country is not reconstruction,
but q moral, religious and political re-
generation. A return to sane thinking
and the sturdy Americanism of our
fathers, as typifed by Lincoln and
Roosevelt, the clear and shining lights
Of the Republican party, whose mem
ory we hold so dear. Let US have an
assemblage of statesmen, not poll
ticians-men, high minded men, whose
ideals will never falter.

be possible to increase prices on any
commodities without due advance
notice and Federal approval.
Necessaries must somehow reach
the consumer more, cheaply. We
rightfully boast that our cost of pro-
duction per unit is for great
variety Of wares the cheapest on
earth, but our distribution costs are
often the highest. Between the pro-
ducer and the consumer appears to
be a commercial quicksand which can
be bridged with money and yet more
money in constantly increasing pro-
portions. This is due to three
causes:
/. Profits by distributors are out
Of all proportion to investment and
annual turnover.
2. Too cumbersome methods of
distribution have built up vast
army of middlemen.
3. The physical ifficulties of trans
portation are increasing rather than
decreasing.
Since private distribution has
proved to be so unsuccessful, it re-
mains for the Federal government to
enter the field actively and without
delay. This would not be a radically
new or financially uncertain step, as
indicated by the success of the army
and navy retail stores.
The problem Of personal extrava-
gance is undoubtedly the most diff
cult to meet. Two obvious ways of
attacking this problem are, first,
broad, active, persistent education of
the wage Garner in economies and the
necessity of his cooperation in in
creasing the purchasing power Of his
money; second, definite prohibitory
tax on Injuries. Factories might
we'll be limited to necessaries-pcace
necessaries.
Finally, whatever laws are enacted
to decrease living costs must be easy
to administer. The mechanism of ad
ministration must be adequately pro-
vided for. ]. A. BOUGHTON.

Consumers of
Nation Urged
To Organize
Cooperative Societies That
Will Work in Harmony
With Capital and Labor
Held Imperative Need

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: How can an intellieent democ-
racy be developed unless the consum-
ers interests are regarded as para
mount? The consumer is everybody
every day-from cradle to grave. 1t
is the consumer that pays all the bills.
1t Is the consumer who suffers from
strife and from collusive arguments
between striving portions of the COM
munity, and it is the consumer who
should decide these conflicts between
classes, because the consumers are not
class and include all classes.
The consumers should organize them
selves to protect and advance their in
terests. The consumers organizations
should be voluntary associations, which
exist to supply their needs.
Having decided what they want, the
consumers should cooperate to supply
their needs, employing capital and wage
earners on contractual basis
The Socialist proposes to control the
means of production and distribution,
such control to be effected by political
methods; but this does not reach the
source, which is liberty Of action by
consumers to produce and distribute
the things they need. The syndicalist
proposes to substitute industrial for
political action. This is a class move
ment.
Trade unionism is class movement
which proposes collective bargaining
and action-not against bad work or in
ferior product, but for better wages of
skilled labor.
Consumers cooperation is voluntary,
promotes reconciliation between classes
admits the rights of capital and labor,
includes everybody who wants to CO.
operate; does not propose to abolish
individual competition, but to compete
with the existing competitive system
on equal terms, and finally seeks to de-
velop the individual as a citizen. The
following plank is suggested: "We urge
citizens to organize as consumers, to
supply their needs comparatively, and
suggest that in the cooperative spirit
and by the cooperative principle ali the
needs of consumers can be supplied, and
this to the benefit of all-men, women
and children-and to the harm of no
one"

duce the high cost Of living!"

To-Day's Prize Letter

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There are two kinds of prob
lens before the American public, one
the impersonal questions of national
administration and international re-
lationships, and the other the less
subtle, more intimate and stinging
problems that have to do with living
in comfort and security.
OF the latter by far the most dis
turbing is that Of the ever increas-
ing cost Of the necessaries of life,
which have come to include food,
clothing, housing, fuel and transpor-
tation.
The complaint, however, is not
against just costs, but against the
abnormal, inflated costs pressed on
the unwilling country by sudden
coordinated greed of majority of
the producers and distributors.
Acknowledgement must be made of
the weakness in our mechanism of
government that allows q small or
even q comparatively large minority
to inhict so dangerous a discomfort
on the greater majority.
The problem is q thrce-faced
Janus. One face is marked by the
greed of open and lustful profteering
in the necessaries themselves; an
other by wasteful and inefficient dis
tribution, and the third, a happy,
care-free face, is that of spendthrift
extravaganza.
Obviously the attention of the peo-
pie is rcsentfully centered on prof
iteering in necessaries, but in their
helpless unorganization the people
have so far made no active attempt
to protect themselves. 1t is very
evident that aid must come from the
organized government. 1t should not

Abolish Crying Abuses
Engendered by the War
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Unavoidable conditions were
created by the war, and there arr in
terests that are laboring to prolong
those conditions, utterly regardless of
the welfare Of the vast majority Of
the people. Tho Republican party must
face the present and the future with
an unyielding determination to abolish
the crying abuses that the war has
left as a legacy. It has been said
often with truth-that no attention
was paid to party platforms after q
party had gained power. In its next
platform the party should say distinct
ly what it means to do if returned to
power, and the successful candidates
and other leaders should continue to
battle for the promised reforms.

Increased Production

We are unalterably in favor of pro-
duction as the better means of re-

cost of living; that it should be CON
