Abilene had a new experience when
1t met Mr.. Schnell, general manager
Of teh Barkalow Company that is to
manage the Union Pacific hotel. Most
ly men in his position would have
given out glowing story picturing
4 Transformation Of the hotel into a
Muehlbach or Baltimore with perhaps
a touch of the Ritz Carlton on the
side. But Mr.. Schnell simply said
that his company is going to make 1t
a first class hotel, that its manager
will be efficient, that the company
wants to become a part of the bust
ness life of Abilene and make its
hotel a credit to the community.
Such extraordinary good sense Is re-
freshing and indicates that we shall
have a service of which the town will
be proud.

LUMBERJAcKs CUT WAGES

WHAT is NEEDED

Gov. Allen says "a brave congress"
could stop the strike in three days
by passing a law creating tribunal
for the railroad men. The men do
not want any tribunal--there are too
many tribunals now and plenty of
chance to get together. What they
want Is to keep up wages and think
they can scare the country now as
they did when the fiabby political ad-
ministration in 1915 surrendered to
get their votes.
more courts and tribunals-the Indus
trial court is all right but 1t has in
nearly two years been unable to stop
striking even in Kansas. The nation
needs nerve and sense. 1t needs the
courage to tell the worker who is un-
willing to meet conditions and wants
to follow of his high paid organizers
to walk out and fill his place out Of
the three million men out Of work.
This kind of courage Is needed at
Washington and indications are that
in the White House at least we have
that sort Of nerve.
II might be good thing for this
country to have the strike. 1t would
not last long. IL indeed 1t actually In
terferreds with business at al owing

PUBLICITY ON DISARMAMENT

Delegates Of the leading govern
ment who will participate In the dis.
armament conference in Washington
will not act for themselves. but Tor
the nations which they win represent.
They scarcely could assume that the
people In whose interest they will
assemble and confer are not entitled
to full information Of the proceedings.
or that the people are incompetent,
for one reason or other. to Judge as
to what might Of beneht to them.
The diplomatic business Of govern
ments has been too mysterious.
Statesmen have accredited themselves
with superior intelligence and fore
eight, and, though their authority has
bene derived from the public or they
have ostensibly sought to advance the
public veal, they have behaved a. II
they in their own opinion, were spec
tally and exclusively qualified to de-
eide questions Of moment with a lofty
Contempt for popular discernment.
Pride Of station and arrogance OF
power have been the cause Of secret
treaties and crafty agreements. inim-
ical to the general welfare.
The Obscurity in which the Yer
sailles treaty was negotiated should
not darken and endanger the disarm-
ament conference. A few men took
upo themselves, in their vanity, to
settle the fate of millions Of people,
and 1t is quite possible that they laid
snares for much international friction
and many wars. Prevention OF war
Is the concern of hundreds Of millions
of people, and the people have the
right to know what the diplomats say
and do.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

The majority Of consumers will
smile pitifuliy. perhaps. at the insin'
uation OF the Joint congressional com
mission of agricultural inquiry that
Il is the consumers themselves who
. are to blame for high retail prices.
However, very little deliberation
proves the conclusion. Goods are
marketed in lpleasing fashion. and
are sold at prices corresponding to the
style Of packing, because the people
want them. II the consumers did not
wish and buy certain things. manu-
facturers would not produce them.
Forty nine cents Of every dollar
paid for merchandise, the commits
sion finds, represents packing, trans
portation, grading, insurance, selling,
advertising, display, rent, overhead,
wages and delivery, or in other words,
cost Of service. The goods themselves
are valued only at thirty seven cents.
Fourteen per cent represent all profits.
Consumers do not, as rule, take
price into consideration. The attrac-
tive appearance Of a box or carton.
the convenient size Of package and
the looks of the goods take proceed
ence over price. Style, convenience
and efficiency Of service also go ahead
Of price.
Consumers who doubt this psychol- |
ogy OF high prices may acquire val
liable, practical lesson by visiting
most reliable grocery and inquiring az
to the prices Of package and bulk
goods Of the same brand and quality.
They will ascertain that the bulk
goods are twenty to thirty per cent,
or even more, lower in prices than the
package goods.
This is a day and nation Of luxury
and ease. Consumers want certain
goods, boxed, Grated, packed or car
toned in certain style, and deliver
ed with certain show or fashion.
Quality IL a secondary matter. And
the price is all that consumers, COM
puted as an aggregate Of sale, can
afford to pay. Manufacturers pro-
duce exactly what the consumers
wish and regulate their prices to the
cost of the goods and the quantity
of sale. What consumers want, they
are willing to pay for.

JOHNSON
Il. T0BEADVISER
First Cabinet Meeting of New
Administration to Be Held
Tomorrow Forenoon
(By United PreSS)

Washington, March For the
first time since his nomination Presi-
dent Harding today included Senator
Hiram Johnson of California among
the best minds who are to help him
shape the course of his administra-
ton. Johnson was one of score
of senators and congressman invited
to confer with Harding at dinner
in the White House tonight following
the congressional conference.
The first cabinet meeting of the
Harding administration will be held
tomorrow at II a. IN. and Vice-Presi-
dent Coolidge will be asked to at
tend.
The conference with the congress-
men probably will result in a con-
templative decision of the most press
ing business confronting the admins
tration. These decisions will be dis
cussed and in most cases probably
confirmed by the cabinet meeting
tomorrow. They called for a special
session of Congress to discuss taxa
ton and governmental expenditures,
the military and naval situation in
the light of failure of both army and
navy appropriation bills, the project
of making peace with Germany and
the general procedure of the next
session of congress.
