List Of Cost Prices To Be Issued That Public May Better Know What Are Fair Charges In Each Locality
Government Is StrenuOusly Opposed to Merchants Making Enormous or Un- reasonable Profits.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Aid of the attorneys general of the various states will be relied upon by the jus tice department in an effort to re- adjust retail prices of the necessities of life Attorney Gen. Daugherty said today.
 When the departments lnNesuga- ton of retail prices has been complet- ed, Mir. Daugherty said, it was eX- pected that the local authorities in the different states would take the necessary steps to remedy local sit nations in which the department would act in case there were viola tions of the federal law.
 To Publish Prices
 MT. Daugherty said that he expect ed to publish a table of the cost of necessities--food. fuel, shoes and clothing-to the consumer in differ ent localities as compared with the production costs of these comm odi- ties in order to bring to the atten- ton of the public any wide margin between these costs found to exist.
 Publication of retail prices as found by the department was expected by MT. Daugherty to have a salutary ef feet upon profiteering prices. Already, he said, announcement of the depart ment's investigation has had some ef- feet.
 Protests Received
 Protests have been received from some retail trade associations against the investigation, MT. Daugherty said but the departments attitude was that where there was no violation of the law, no association had cause for uneasiness. Numerous cases of Hio- lations of state laws have been re- ported he said, but federal prosecu- ton would depend upon violation of antitrust laws The government, MT. Daugherty said, wants merchants to make a fair profit, but was steadfast- ly opposed to enormous or unreason- able profits.
 Increase in the price of bread in the District of Columbia by one cent a loaf when the price of flour was lower than it had been in years, was cited by the attorney general of an instance of high price which would be given attention in the departments investigation.

Liquor Is Found.

The Golden West, a two masted schooner formerly a Nova Scotia fish erman had been riding at anchor out side the harbor for two days. Capt tain Lauriat of the ACushnet reported that he found barrels enough aboard, apparently full to contain about B. GOO gallons of alcohol and a quantity of case liquor.
 Federal officers said they were in formed that the Golden West left St. Pierre, with 15,000 gallons of alcohol and case liquor which was to be landed at a remote spot on the New England coast. If that tnforma- ton was correct thtey said some of the liquor must have been sent ashore.
 Crew Is Detained.
 The Golden West was in command of Captain Dennis Amero of Tusket Wedge N. &, and carried a crew Of six men. They were detained on ship board pending inquiry,
 Collector of Customs Lufkin said he was informed the vessel was pur- chased recently in Halifax hy F. M, Bruno, q former Boston bartender,
 Her papers said she was bound from St. Pierre to Nassau.
 The alertness of Captain Lauriat Of the Acushnet was responsible for the capture.
 The coast guard cutter was enroute from Woods Hole to Boston to ac- cept shield for an act of rescue last spring when the supposedly peaceful fishing schooner was sighted.

EAT MORE SWEET POTATOES, THE

final disposal; that is left to human ingenuity

PUBLIC HONESTY-Some educators recently
tried to find out how many children had been
taught anything about honesty They gave $1.OO
each to a large number of children None of them
knew about any other child being subject to the
experiment. Each of them to go to a store
and buy certain specified articles, the aggregate
cost OF which in each case would be less than
$500
Consequently, on completing the purchases,
each child would have balance out of the 81 90.
1t was found that only about 80 per cent of the
youngsters returned this balance The rest pock-
eted the change and said nothing. This indicated
to the experimenters, anyway, that most of them
had dishonest streak and had been given no eff
fective moral teaching
1t would perhaps be wrong to blame the child
rem. No one may ever have given them any in
struction on this point. From most of the talk
they might hear, they might conclude that it was
all right to get all the mney they could in any
possible way. Many grown ups would do the
same thing if they thought no one would know it.
If young people grow up without instruction.
the next generation will play cut throat game
in the world of business
The Sunday schools are supposed to teach NOR
ais. put great numbers OF children do not attend
such schools. II they do come, there is no author
ity by which you make them attend to their
lesson The day schools may be crowded with
the many subjects they have to teach But no
matter how much information they impart, if the
children miss these vital truths of honesty they
miss all
Our teachers must 60 beyond their regular cur
1culums to impress our children with these imDor-
tant truth and thus lay foundation for civic right
eousness and honesty Unless the children are
thus trained, many of them will go astray and the
responsibility rests with their teachers as much
so as with the parents

ARE WAGES TOO HIGH OR FREIGHT TO

LOW?-Henry Ford raised wages on his road
beyond the established war scale and reduced
freight rates on his line twenty per cent, simply
by adopting system of economy, which other
roads could also adoDt.
To the question Are freight rates too high ~
was well answered by the Albany Herald in
recent editorial in answer to a letter received by
its editor from President w. Winburn of the
Central of Georgia, in which he took issue with
the editorial In question from the railroad stand
point The Albany Herald replied editorially
1T is true, of course, that if the shippers of
perishable produce always received prices
which would insure satisfactory profit above
transportation charges, however high the latter
might be- there would be no disposition to find
fault. But that, Unfortunately, does not ALWAYS
happen, nor can it be expected to happen. Geor-
gla ships neither common clay nor gold bars to
New York but does ship many other commodi-
ties OF considerable value
The complaint that freight rates are too high
is general 1t comes from practically all classes
OF shippers, for 1t is interfering with the revival
OF business, which seems Just now to be all-m-
portaht me question to whether freight
rates are too high is big one Those vast in
terests which are embraced in the term business
HlSlSt tndt lhey are. he railroads. with the eX-
ception OF Henry Ford, speaking for the line
which he owns and operates contend on the
other hand that rates are not too high
What contributes to the uneasiness of bust
ness IS the lnsiStence OF some spokesman for the
railway lines that freight rates are not high
enough When the Railway Labor Board au-
thorized the reduction of employees wages re-
Gently, the roads complained that the cut was not
sufficient, and said the roads would either re-
qure another increase of rates or further re-
duction of employees pay
1t is interesting for the 1aymen, who knows
little or nothing about the intricacies of railway
tariffs to consider that while the cost of all other
things is declining, freight and passenger rates
remain at the peak. There is no staple commod-
lty produced and shipped in the United States
which IS not materially cheaper now than it was
during the period OF high prices which followed
the World War Lumber, brick tile stone ce-
ment' and other Building materials; iron and
steel, coal and coke; grain and meat: groceries
and produce; dry goods and shoes; automobiles

there if indeed there are any, are inconspic-
uous and relatively unimportant. Labor is cheap
er and the man who works with brain or muscle
is receiving less for what he does than he re
ceived while the tide Of prosperity ran Highland
here, too, the exceptions prove the rule
Yet freight rates as high today as they
were carried by the successive increases author
lied by the Interstate Commerce Commission
and arbitrarily put into effect by the Railroad
Administration while it was in charge of the
common carriers. The same is true of passenger
rates. They have declined not the fraction of
one per cent from the peak to which they were
carried by the last increase Is it surprising that
the public which pays the freight, believes the
existing transportation rates are too high?
"Reverting to Henry Ford, at mention of
whose genius a railroad executive a good
many other railroad men may SMILE it is worth
noting that Mr.. Ford took over line that had
never earned dollar and was steadily losing
money, reorganized it and now reports that it
IS paying concern. we cut freight and pass
enger rates 20 per cent and we boosted wages
and 1t won't take long to reduce the rates so per
cent says Mr. Ford. His formula is simple.
Lower rates have greatly increased the roads
business. Dead timber among the employees has
been welded out and the better-paid employees
remaining have their hearts in their work
The point will be made that other roads can
not do what the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton has
done. WHY NOT? Have they tried? The
roads are not getting more business largely be-
cause rates burdensome-so burdensome
that they hamper the revival of industry. lust
as the most successful merchants in America
have piled up fortunes on enormous volume of
business with quick turn-overs and small profits
so might the carriers profit greatly by applying
that principle to their own problems. 1t costs
but trfe more to haul day coach with 60
passengers at 2 II cents mile per passenger
than 1t does to haul the same coach with 30 pass
engers at 5 II cents mile per passenger.
The ability OF American industry to reduce
materially the cost of moving raw materials and
finished products would give stupendous boost
to trade, and the railroads would profit as great
ly from such a revival as any class or interest.
Could there be better answer to the railroads
lnslstence that rates cannot come down than their
own complaint that they barely able to keep
their heads above water with rates unprecedentlv
high?
I'VE want fair treatment for the carriers but
we are also interested in fair treatment for the
public. The problem is to know what is fair. 1t
is that we are chiefly concerned about and on
that we are seeking light" ~.r
