The Topeka state journal., 1921-03-04

Champ Clark. whose death was re-
corded this week. was a Democrat of
the old school. There are few of his
kind left. He never renounced the
time-honored principles of his party.
SO he stood for opposition to a pro-
tective tariff and sumptuary legisla-
tion in every form. He favored the
greatest possible freedom of individ-
ual action consistent with the public
good. He might not have been elect
ed to the presidency in 1912 if he had
obtained the nomination, but he was
Justly entitled to the position of his
party's standard bearer. Probably
AIr. Bryan is sorry now that he did
not let the dead congressman have
the nomination. The fact that he did
not DO so has made of the Democrat
Organization something unrecogniz-
able by men of the Clark stamp, ex-
eept for the name.

ROCKY ROAD TO NoRMALcY.

Day after day the dispatches tell of
cuts in wholesale prices and cuts in
wages in first one industry and then
another. The public finds it difficult
to understand why there is not a
greater decline in retail prices.
We have had the vicious spirar'
in rising prices with rising wages
causing higher prices,\ and higher
prices calling for higher wages. In
some way the spiral must be unz
wound.
Prices decline before wages but
wages must come down too because of
ing power OF those engaged in the in
dustries where prices first began 20
fall. If wage scales be revised with
out disturbance, production costs
come down and lower prices logically
ensue. The Industrial structure keeps
its balance and the purchasing power
of labor or services is unaffected.
The existing business depression is
due in large measure to the unba1-
anced state of production and its re-
wards. Agriculture has found it's re-
turns cut between six and eight bill
lion dollars compared with last year.
Industrial labor wants it's war time
wage schedules left untouched. The
farmer cannot pay the old prices for
what he bought a year or two years
ago. Industry is adversely affected
by this slump. manufacturers close
down, and unemployment cuts down
aggregate wage payments in spite of
the retention Of former wage rates.
The sooner these conditions are rec
ognized and accepted by all classes,
labor. manufacturers and retailers, the
sooner will business return to normal.
