Our idea of an ignoramus in the
ield of economics is man who tries
70 show variations in the cost of liv
NJ by quoting wholesale prices. Con
sumers, who pay the cost of living,

states have vast domains to be set
tied, but should be open to Americans

lays for almost everything you can
hink of. When prices were high we

clined to blame the government for
that, too. But the government just
can't make the people be good, and the
champions Of virtue by legislation
ought to realize it.-Kemmerer (Wyo.)
