"The Oasis" has submitted to vari-
GUS concerns in Nogales dealing in
electric lighting supplies, Demand
No. 1143, with the recapitulation at
tached, and they quote the following
prices as prevailing in Nogales at
that time, and what, had they sold
them over their counters, to retail
customers they would have made the
charges read this way:
1-25W Mazda Lamp at 35c $0.35
11-40W Mazda Lamp at CSC 1856
l9-60W Mazda Lamp at 45c 8.55
S-100W Type C Lamp at ITO $50
3-200W Type C Lamp at 2.20 $50
TOTAL .$28,15
So that is what Mr.. Titcomb calls
"the courtesy of wholesale prices"
In one small account of $500 the
Town of Nogales paid Roy & Tit
comb $5.05 more than other dealers
assure "The Oasis" they would have
sold the same identical articles for.
and were selling them across their
counters in the course of trade at that
time.
The same dealers quoted tell "The
Oasis" that the lamps quoted at S5c
in December, 1916, sell now for forty
cents, those sold at 45c, sell now at
Soc; and that there is no change in
the prices of the other two-$1.1C
and 1920 respectively.
But observe how skillfully the de-
mand is made to evade detection of
overcharge. In the small lamps 25W
and 40W lamps, used by everybody
the prices were put at the going SELL
ing prices; but when it came to entry
OF the prices for larger lamps, with
which most people were and are un-
familiar; the prices went above the
current retail prices. and were not
the courtesy of wholesale prices'
alleged by Mr.. Titcomb.
Instead of being "the courtesy of
wholesale prices" as alleged by Mr..
1ltcomb, the price charged by Roy g.
Titcomb for those commodities
charged in Demand 1143, was about
1879 higher than the Town would
have had to pay had they bought
them at any other place we have
cited.
The question naturally arises: Has
the courtesy of wholesale prices"
in all the business done by Roy G.
Titcomb in the two years that their
Mr. C1agett was mayor. ran 1877
higher than the same commodities
could have been purchased at retail
from other dealers?
If it does, and the $24649.39 paid
Roy & Titcomb by the Town of No |
gales in those two years that their
Mr.. Clagett was mayor, was 1879
more than the same commodities !
could have been purchased for else
where, then the Town of Nogales paid |
Roy & Titcomb the sum of $4,000 |
more than should have been paid.
If these calculations are correct |
keep of "the Sacred Cow through |
two years Roy & Titcomb's Mr.. |
Clagett was mayor, cost the Town of |
Nogales the handsome sum of |
s340O.00-more than $4,000 per an
mum.

Prosperity Era
Seen i'm Defeat
OF Democrats
Remedy for High Cost of
Living Urged as Basic
Plank for Platform of
the Republican PARTY
Increase i'm Production
Discomfort Among Voters Is
Laid to Eight Years of
of Wilsonian Blundering
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The average voter is discon-
tented. Quite naturally he puts the
blame for present conditions on the
Democratic party, for after seven years
OF power their responsibility cannot
be shifted. On account of this wide
spread discomfort it is to be expected
that the control of the nations affairs
will be turned over to the Republican
party at the November elections.
One of the greatest obligations which
this party will have to assume will
be that of reducing the high cost of
living. If this one thing is accom-
plished we may expect another period
OF general prosperity, such as preced-
ed the Wilson regime. But if the cost
of living is not reduced, is it too much
to predict chaos? AS long as the pur-
chasing power of the dollar remains at
its present low level the soil is fertile
for the seess of Bolshevsm. And no
highsounding foreign policy nor any
other glittering generality will check
this growing menace to our national
life.
How, then, can the high cost of liv-
i"g be reduced? The quickest and
surTst way is to increase production.
1'e "eason that more dollars will buy
fewer commodities to-day is that those
commodities are not produced in suf-
flclent quantity to supply the demand;

Curb on Rent Profteer
Advocated as 1920 Issue
Landlords Should Be Prohibit
ed From Exacting Usuri-
Gus ExtOrtiOns

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: An important issue in the Re-
publican platform should be correc-
tion by legislation of rent proiteering
This would be long stride toward re-
ducing high costs, normal settlement of
salaries and cessation of strikes.
We hear everywhere, "If you don't
pay what they ask, where will you go %
And then the moving mans rates fell
US with a blow.
Houses should be listed according to
values, and no landlord should be per
mitted to make more than legitimate
profit on his investment, such as peo-
pie have been content to receive when
placing money on mortgages, not usuri-
Gus eXtOrtions.
The local governments should ar
range to lend money to prospective
builders of homes and apartments on a
building and loan basis, thus distribut-
ing proprietorship over larger area
stimulating building activity and in
creasing housing facilities.
The sinews Of the Republican plat
form should be America for Americans
in America first.

To-Day's Prize Letter

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Never before in the history Of
our country has the problem of edu-
cation come SO much to the fore as
it does to-day. Everywhere we meet
evidence Of the fact that there is
something wrong with our school sys-
TEN. Our teachers are underpaid.
Many Of them are not sufficiently
trained. Almost all of our endowed
institutions are obliged to go beg
ging in order TO keep their best men
in the academic field. That system
Of education that We have made our
boast and which has been studied
abroad as a model is now seen to be
sadly lacking in many respects.
1t would seem that the education
OF the nations youth were one of
the most important functions Of the
national government. But no! The
elementary schools are administered
by the municipalities, as are also
most of the secondary schools. A
few states are fortunate enough to
have we'll organized departments of
education, among which the Univer-
sity Of the State of New York stands
forth.
These state departments make pos
sible a unified and standardized
school system within the states
Where they are absent the diversity
of requirements and organization is
amazing. This is particularly true
of our colleges and universities. The
state departments of education, no
matter how efficient they may be,
cannot suffice to secure the minimum
standard that is desirable for all
grades Of schools throughout the
couAtry.
239 Linden Avenue, Ithaca, N. Y.
New-York tribune., 1920-03-24

The Federal government has not
been entirely Indifferent in this mat
ter. Indeed, at one time (1s67-'ss)
there was a national department of
education, but this soon was reduced
to a bureau under the Department
Of the Interior. It still functions as
a means Of collecting and distribut-
ing information on education. With
the exception Of the maintenance Of
a few national academies and terri
torial institutions, this is practically
all the national government has to
do with the education Of our boys
and girls.
A national department, such as
France and England have found ad-
vantageous, does not exist, There
ought to be at least a minimum
standard throughout the country.
maintained by the Federal govern
ment, and which would, not 5e de-
pendent upon the discretion. of the
various state legislatures and the
exigencies Of state politics and
finance. Such a. standard can be
maintained only by Federal depart
ment of education.
Federal administration Of educa-
tion has from its inception been a
Republican movement. 1t was during
the incumbency Of Republican
President (Johnson), with the stanch
support of General Garfield, that the
former department and the present
bureau Of education were made pos
sible. The Republican party must
see to it. that the Federal govern
ment takes q more active interest in
it's schools. The education Of the
country's youth is a national duty.

Age Pensions Urged as Plank in Republican Platform

hence. the high prices, the cheap
money and the general dissatisfaction.
III production can be increased prices
will go down; and the party in power
at that time will receive the credit
for lowering the cost Of living. Let
this be the Republican party, and let
the basic plank in the Republican
platform be somewhat as follows:
We pledge all our resources and all
the means ut our disposal to securing
Increased production-increase pro-
duction of all commodities, increased
production of services and greater ef-
ficiency in management and the use Of
capital. To this end we shall pro-
mote education, Americanization, pub
lie health work, the national budget
,'lan, improved postal service and all
other activities which may directly or
indirectly tend to increase production.

Uniform Divorce Lq:os
Urged il, Justice to AU

To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: If there is one piece Of rene
dial legislation that is necessary and
which the Republican party should pro-
vide for in its platform it is a uniform
divorce law; law that will govern
every state in the Union.
1t is ridiculous and cminer.ly unfair
that residents Of one state or several
states should be Disseminated against
or, on the other hand, be favored. Why
should woman of means be allowed to
go to Reno and in year be rid of her
husband, while her poorer sisters must
remain tied to a man with whom liz is
unbearable? While New York Safe
has law that is drastic, it acts severe
ly mostly in the cases of poor people.
The divorce laws as now written in
various states are disgrace, and tx y
should be revised, rewritten and made
to conform throughout the land.
