HIGH COSTS AND THE REMEDY

There are two ways to stop the upward tendency of the cost of living. One of these is for Con- gress to pass the measures which would permit complete government regulation of the prices of every thing between and including produc- ton down to and including the re- tail price to the consumers, and the other is wait for time to bring com petition to do the work.
 The first mentioned remedy would include. points out the editor of the Alaska Daily Empire tJuneau), of course. the regulation of wages, and in many instances the methods of distribution. In measure, it would, of course, do away with com petition. It would mean far greater governmental inquisition than ever before has been attempted in thi, country. It is not strange that Con. gress hesitates. It probably will decide not to provide for the ap- plication of that medicine.
 If the second remedy is adopted. the one that we have depended upon in the past, the operation of time. bringing with production adequate to meet the demands of the consum- CTS and competition in the markets and in catering to the public all along the line. the situation can be helped along, of course. by passing and enforcing laws against profiteer- ing where it is found, by encourag- ing people to work and save, by urging greater and yet greater pro duction, by regulating, where possi- ble, by educating the people wher.
 
 ever possible, through publicity and all the means at our command, a. to the actual conditions and needs. and to urge voluntary patriotic co. operation on the part of everybody to meet the situation; but the effect cannot be immediate. Any other method of meeting the situation than complete governmental regula- tion will require time. It will take time to get everybody at work and increase consumption to the point that producers shall again be seek ing markets for their products, to bring about a condition again where people are anxious to retain jobs and positions, to sell their time and skill and ability. It is fortunate that the campaign of education has been proceeding, and people every where, including the conservative la bor leaders of the country, are awake to the situation. MT. Com. pers has promised that labor will work and do it's share towards in creasing production. He and the laboring people generally are op- posed to complete governmental reg ulation, as they know that it would have to include wages as well as everything else.
 The history of the past has been that every great war has been fol. lowed by a period of unrest and high prices. That period was fol. lowed by one of stagnation, during which people have been unable to get credit and when products were sold with difficulty, because people had not the money with which to purchase. For years after the Civil war, at first on account of the high prices and later because there was so little money, most people in the countrv were cornnoIJad to orot aIono

ANOTHER FISH STORY
+ COMES FROM OHIO
Charm Lost Several Years Ago BY
River Man Found In Fish
In Indiana.

Batavia, Ohio. - County Auditor H.
c. Reed received letter on Monday of
this week from Cannelton, Indiana, in
which was returned to the Auditor his
Masonic charm. The letter writer said
that the charm was taken ffrom the
stomach of large catfish which he
caught a few days ago.
The charm is of German silver and
besides the name and address of Mr..
Reed, was dated in 1911. Mr.. Reed
stated that when the charm was lost
he was employed on the steamer
Greenland. He was helping unload
some freight at Huntington, W. Va,
when the key ring containing several
keys and the charm was torn from his
belt and dropped into the river 1t is
evident that the fish, swimming near
at that time, swallowed the keys and
all. Mr.. Reed is of the opinion that the
keys rusted away while in the stomach
of the fish, but the lodge charm, being
of silver, was preserved during these
nine years.
A very interesting letter accom-
panied the charm from the fisherman
who pulled in the three-pound cat
fish which carried the prize.
