This country never is so prosperous
az anv other time as it is during a
period of rising prices. But prices
cannot go on advancing indefinitely
There comes a time when the great
body of purchasers no longer is able
to buy. When buying is reduced
prices begin to fall. We have been
passing thru this sort of experience
and have not yet reached the end.
No industry has been in a stronger
position than the steel industry The
world urgently needs every form OF
steel products. Construction work of
all kinds is waiting to be done. Rails.
nails, structural iron and steel, and
countless other varieties are wanted
by the whole world. Unfortunately
the issue was not faced and prices
were maintained on a relatively high
basis. AS a result the industry is go
ing on a Is per cent basis. When
prices come down it will go ahead full
speed. 1t must meet the reduced buy
ing power of the world. The same is
true of the wage earners. They have
not faced the issue OF declining prices
and the result is millions are idle
AS matters now stand labor is receiv-
ing a smaller total of payments than
it would get if 1t accepted a rate one
third lower and were working full
time. In addition it is keeping pro-
ductiOn costs-and prices so high thar
it intcrferes with the rapid dstribu-
ton that results in free circulation OF
goods. All these matters are Fighting
themselves; it seems they cannot be
hurried. but we are travelling in tbs
right direction.

BoRRowrNG AND LENDING.

Those who advocate a tax on bonds
and other securities would confer a
favor on the public If they would ad-
vance some good and substantial ar
gument in favor of such a course.
All they appear to be able to offer is
the assertion that a tax of this sort
would be paid by the rich. This the
DRY has been exploded SO often and
so thoroly that they must find it nee
sessary, in order to make any Roadway
with the propaganda to bring for
ward something new and more sub
stantial.
Borrowing and lending are the very
heart of modern business. To tax
such transactions is to put a tax upon
credit; to make it more difficult, or
more expensive. than 1t otherwise
would be, for the borrower to borrow.
For the past year the principal
complaint of the business men of the
United STATES has been that credit
has been too sharply restricted. With
out going into the question of whether
there is genuine merit in that claim,
it may be set down as a principle of
sound economies that artificial re-
strictions of credit, other than those
| imposed by the laws of supply and de-
mand and general business conditions
in addition to- the merit of each par
ticuIar borrowers claim to credit. are
| injurious and hamper business more
than they can possible help the gov
eminent.
| The borrower gets loan nine times
out of ten, for the purpose of buying
something; that something will pay Q
tax. He should not be compelled tc
pay another tax on his evidence o1
debt. And the holder thereof cannot
be made to pay it.

OUR NEW MEXICAN POLICY.

Negotiations between the United
States and Mexico on the subject of
recognition of the Obregon govern
ment appear to have reached a dead
lock. This government insists on n
guarantee that the rights of American
citizens shah be respected. President
Obregon declines to give such assur-
ance, and there the matter stands.
1t is doubtful that any guarantee ac-
corded by the Mexican government
would be worth the paper on which 1t
is written. Obregon probably could
not carry out such an undertaking #
to do otherwise.
Diplomatic exchanges between the
two countries merely postpone the in
evitable day when the United States
will be compelled to establish the
rights of it's citizens in Mexico by
force.
There are 100000 people in Mex
leo. OF these. 100000 are Indians,
and Indians that are comparable, lit
orally, to our own reservation Indians.
There are 100000 mixed bloods, a
cross of Indian and Spanish, but of
these 100000 fully 100000 are al
most as Indian as their full-blood
cousins. There are, therefore, not
more than 5000, 900 persons with the
ordinary qualifications for citizenship
and these are mostly officials. profess
sional reyolutionists and owners of the
bulk of the property in Mexico. What
chance is there to arrive at a lasting
understanding with a people like
that?
| 1t should be a source of satisfaction
to the people of this country that
President Harding has adopted posi-
tive policy for future dealings with the
southern republic. The policy of the
administration is summarized by the
Chicago Tribune as follows:
All our government and people ask
of Mexico is the fulfillment of inter-
national right and of the responsible
ties imposed by civilization upon SOW
ereign states. Confiscatory laws can
not be recognized and action under
them will be considered unfriendiy
As soon as the Mexican government
definitely engages to do it's inter
national duty toward our citizens, rec
ognition can and will be granted, and
if Mexico realizes the situation an era
of mutually profitable cooperation
will ensue.
But if the Mexicans refuse to rec
ognize international rights and the
, factors of necessity controlling oui
common situation. it will be impera.
tive upon us to take practical action
No recognition will be granted, and il
tovert acts are committed, force will be
employed. This will be the last re
sort. deplored by all but a negligible
minority of Americans. But it will b.
accepted as an inevitable result o
; Mexican unwisdom, and should b'
. foreseen as inevitab BILE by the Mexican
government in the present considera
ton of its policy and program. Peac'
between us can be predicated onl,
upon fair dealing and the acceptance
; of the responsibilities for legal justice
and order belonging to all sovereign
states.

Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

The Effect of Absence ON Love-f.
The war. which knocked most of
our fondest faiths galley west, seems to
have played hob with the cheerful
theory that Absence makes the heart
grow fonder."
The divorce courts of both England
and the United States have sent out
an S. o. S. call for help. They report
that they are overwhelmed with bust
ness, and that never in the history OF
| the world, were there so many men
and women frantically seeking to
! break their matrimonial bonds, and
| they further state that in three-fourths
of the cases. the people who desire
divorces have no real grievance against
| the ones to whom they are married.
They frankly state that during the
time that the man was away in the
army, their affection for each other
persisted. and they now find life to-
gether uncomfortable.
It was to be expected that the great
majority of war brides would become
peace Divorces, because marriages
that were entered into on the spur of
an emotional moment. when girls
married anything that looked good in
khaki, or because they were romantic,
or adventurous, or avaricious, had no
element of stability in them. But it is
| surprising and disheartening to find
| that the seasoned matrim onial timber,
so to speak, also broke under the
strain of absence.
For it would seem that the situation
would tend to draw a husband and
wife together. and to call out in each
The mans danger. his courage, his re-
Spouse to his country's need-one
would think that this would thrill a
lwoman's heart with pride in her man
and keep her heart conferred on him.
The wife at home who represented All
that a man was fighting for and risk
ing his fe for--one would think that
she would be the 1odestar that would
draw her husbands every thought to
her and home.
Perhaps this was generally true
during the time of actual peril, but
when the war was over, and the man
returned home, and the husband and
| wife tried to take up their every day
life together, they found out that some
| thing insidious, intangible had hap
pened to them. They had somehow
lost step and they couldn't catch it
again. They knew not how, or why,
but they did not fit in their old places
The truth was that absence had
done its deadly work. They had grown
in different directions, and undoubt.
eddy, in addition to the multitude OF
weak brothers and sisters who are
c1amoring for divorce because they
were aiienated from each other by the
separation of the war, there are
thousands of couples who are now
stoically bearing the misery of mis-
|, mated marriage, who would have
rocked along in commonplace com.
fort if they had never peen parted.
