CURE FOR HIGH RENTS
est. Pete independently

Nfary citizens o. g.. e oa.,.::C, IS ", as viz
itors here have recently been ardantly discussing
the subject of rentals and many opinions have
been expressed to the best way to bring down
the charges for houses and flats and rooms
Under the caption, "A Cure for High Rents"
the Chicago Tribune calls attention to the notable
increase in the number of building permits for
homes in Chicago during the month of August,
and states that rents may be lowered by that
route, and other There is not the slightest
doubt that this is true. OF all the l-advised
legislation that has followed the great war none
has been more foolish than the attempts to pre-
vent the increase of rents through laws and COM
missions. During the war residence building
nearly suspended in America, and. of course,
rents went up. The only way to bring them
down was to build more homes. But the New
York legislature was unwise as to pass law
prohibiting the increasing of rents, and the
suit was that the building of homes in that state
not resumed.
Very fortunately the economic error was not
copied in other states and the result is that New
York is temporarily at disadvantage. Rents
will come down as more residence property goes
up.
In St. Petersburg there has been a building
boom that breaks all records. For more than a
year building has been very active and hundreds
of new houses fiat buildings, residences and room
ing houses, have been erected This means an
increased supply of houses available for the tour
lists, and increased supply means decreased
prices St. Petersburg has adopted the best
possible plan to reduce rents.

REMEDY OR PALLIATION

A good deal depends upon whether the I'M
Ton is looking for a remedy or palliation. The
remedy is not hard to find. although there might
be difficulty in its application.
1t is simply 10 cut down the margin between the
labor cost and the selling price of the product
Wages constitute the basis of the purchasing
power Of the nation. If goods are priced cheaply
enough so that all of them, except those needed to
supply The employers and to meet export demands,
can be purchased with the funds available there
for, there never can be any over production, and
labor go on producing. without fear of Cutting
the market
That is The way, and the only possible way, to
keep production free CT the periodical depressons

under-consumpton.
he world needs all The goods now in existence
The people of this country would gladly buy all
that in stock here, and many more, if they had
the means. But the price is barrier The people
can not be given the price without being put to
work; they can not be put to work without pro-
ducng more goods and they can not produce
more goods without disturbing the artificial price

GOIDENR0D

(By Hilda Morris)
Over all the countryside.
From Michigan TO Maine,
Once there were campfres
On hill and plain.
Once there were smoke-wreaths
Where fields lie now,
And flame in the forests
That knew no plow
The red men built them;
Still there spills
The Autumn wrath of wood-smokc
Upon blue hills.
And white men, strong men,
Laid them to rest
By fires in the Wilderness
From east to west.
Camnlircs. campfircs,
From Maine to Oregon,
The ash Of their burning
Is scattered and gone.
But where famed campfire
And brave men trod,

THE BAD CHECK LAW

Merchants and others having occasion 10 handle
the checks Of customers should post themselves
carefully on The provisions Of the bad check law
passed by the Legislature at lis last session.
Section Of this act reads as follows:
1T shall be unlawful Tor any person to draw or
utter 10 another any check without there being al
the time thereof sufficient funds en- deposit or to his
credit with the drawee named therein 10 insure the
payment Of same upon presentation within reason
able tune after negotiation. provided that ihs sec
ton shall moi apply to any check where the paycc
or holder has been expressly notified piior 10 The
drawing or uttcring OF same that The drawer did
not have on deposit or 10 his credit with The ehawce
sufficient funds 10 insure payment as aforesaid.
This section applies 10 all cases. whether the
check IS drawn to meet an existing obligation or is
given fer goods purchased OF money advanced.
Section is important as supplying the founda-
ton upon which prosecution for giving a bad
check be started. i reads:
Sec. j. That it shall be the duty of the
drawee of any and all checks as hercnbefore de-
hned before refusing 10 pay same TO holder upon
presentation, to cause to be written or stamped in
plain language thereon the reason for the drawee's
dshonor refusal to pay same, and in all prose-
cutlons under this act the introduction in evidence
OF any unpaid and dishonored check, having the
drawee S refusal 10 pay stamped or written thereon
with the therefore as aforesaid, shall be
prma facie evidence of the making or utterng Of
said check, and the due presentation to the drawee
fer payment and the dshonor thereof and that the
same was properly dishonored for the reasons
written or stamped by the drawee on such dis
credit with the drawee named herein to insure the
honored check
Section provides as a penalty for passing
worthless checks fine of not ever $500 or i'm
prlsonment not exceeding SIX months, or both, in
the discretion of the court while, if restitution is
made to the holder of the worthless check the fine
is made not over 500 or 80 days imprisonment,
or both
Under these sections it IS a dangerous thing 10
draw a check without being sure the funds are in
the bank to meet it. AT the same time, business
men can not rely upon The mere existence of this
law as full protection; but they must cooperate
with its provisions in order to be in position 10
prove up their case, if they are swindod.
They should, therefore If hey have any doubt
OF the sound mess of check, present it to the bank
on which it is drawn, at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and if it refused see that the bank stamps
lon the check (not on paper pinned to it its re-
fusal to pay and TIE reason therefore Then
