SOME PRACTICAL EXHIBITS

If schools of political science and economics de-
voted most of their attention to actual conditions
in Europe but they would get more data those
subjects than they can dig from all the text books
extant
Russia, for instance, is Exhibit A in politics.
Exact facts as to the situation there not avail
able, but even in the light of what we know, it
constitutes The interesting subject present
ed to the world We have seen nations develop
slowly and naturally, usually in the direction of
more laws and less liberty, but Russia presents an
example Of whole nation one of the biggest in
the world, suddenly Transforming its system adopt
ing a ne,; political philosophy. discarding the old
maxims Of safety and starting out along an I'M
explored trail.
Similarly. Germany is attempting something
unique in he history CT economics. Nations have
paid tribute 10 other nations in the past That was
the source of much Of the Roman revenues. But
he sums exacted have usually been small and tenn
rorary Never has a nation undertaken to pay an
indemnify stretching through more than a whole
generation, and amounting, in the aggregate, to
perhaps half CT the gross value of all its posses
sions.
A score Of interesting questions arise. Can Ger
many pay? What effect will ii have upon her In
dustres? What will BE its effect upon the thoughts
feelings and morals Ct The people? What new
c-5ncmic adjustments will il involve? What will
he he cconcmic effect Of this indemnify upon the
uaticns receiving il} How viii it effect them NOR
ally? Ii is clear that every possible relation will
BE- aEacJ2d-the Standards of living, the relation
q c,ria and labor the lines of International com
me1ce, The local industries of whole countries hav-
ing 10 dirccr interest in the transaction, and, of
course, The political dcstinies of all the nations
involved?
1t IS as if magnilying glass had suddenly been
applied TO small and obscure transactions. bring
ing them cut. by exaggeration into such prominence
that all their hitherto elusive relations become gar-
ngly visible. Perhaps after all, the greatest bene-
fit. ofsetting The evils of the world war, is the
wealth Of material it lays before the student.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1921-05-31
PRICE REDUCTIONS

1t is agreed by economic authorities that whole
the high level of year and half ago. Some
put it almost high us 81 per cent, but the lower
figure will do for practical purposes, if it is rec
ognized safe minimum.
How do retail prices correspond? y group OF
men representing important retaIl interests
recently i'll conference in Washington, together
with government officials. they concuded-that
although it would be unfair to charge that
tailers in general were trying to maintain exorbi-
tant prices, there were some retailers in every
community who refused to let consumers have
the benefit of the price reductions which they
themselves enjoyed, and that such dealers were
influential in retarding price reductions in gen
eral
That conference did not agree on the precise
extent of difference between wholesale and retail
reductions. 1t appears, however, from the latest
available data, that retail prices throughout the
country have fallen, average, from Is to
2e per cent. If the higher figure is accepted,
have still fallen not more than half and probably
less than half, as much as wholesale prices
The law of competition will doubtless even
things up eventually. 1t always does. in the long
run. But it should be recognized that in the
meantime the prOfteering minority are playing
which is unfair to the public and unfair to their
own class and which is likely to react tothe +
own injury

As Others See 1t
THE UNITED STATES
(From an Exchange.)

The United States is large body of laughter
loving people coTlpiately Gurrolndod b. Trusts
1t is the richest country in the world, nowhere
is food plentiful, nowhere are the cows so
friendly, the hens Industrious.
When the hens die they go to join their un
Matched children in a cold storage heaven where
they live forever So too the cows SO, too, the
fish, if there is room for them; if not, they are
turned into fertilizer to keep them from scaling
down the market price.
To add to the merrment of the people, the
sovereign farmers and fnanciers passed an
amendment to the Constitution and Holy Writ
(See 1st Timothy 23) aboshing temperance
the sin of resisting temptation, at their bidding
thousands of acres of deadly grape vines have
been destroyed, and if these great and good men
fulfill their promises, ere long the nation will be
saved from the ravages of the vicious tobacco.
Religious to a fault and simultaneously prod
igal they nevertheless show signs of reverting
to the Arboreal Anthorpoids
The original inhabitants Red Indians;
these were supplanted by Pale Pilgrims who first
settled the country and then settled the Indians.
The Indians practice of painting and wearing
feathers shocked the Pilgrim Fathers and Moth
ers but the Pilgrim Daughters made note of
these fashions for future use.
The ca ita of the United States is Washing

The governor Of Michigan believes in handling
evil without gloves, but gingerly. He has pro-
claimed lha there shall be 10 boxing, alias prize
fighting, in his stale on Memorial days
The idea is capable of extension, and lis nov
city will no doubt appeal to practical reformers.
Il will doubtless be followed by some bold execu-
tive declaring there shall be no gambling on the
Fourth Of July, or there shall be no horse-racing
on Labor day. 1t might run all through the
calendar. 1hus, Thou shalt not steal on 7 ues-
