The Law of Supply and Demand.

ECONOMISTS and statisticians< Ee pointing out
!! an odd example of the working of the law of
supply and demand. So vast are the forces involved
in the operation of the law that it is not usually
easy to see them except in the perspective OF. much
elapsed time. But the result of the strikes has con-
tracted this period so that the entire operation can
be seen in a single example.
Lack of coal in this country has caused a sud
den demand upon British coal mines, which in turn
caused a sudden rush for ships to carry the coal to
the United States. The immediate result has been
an increase in ocean freight rates from England to
the United States amounting to $50 per cent, or
from Z to IL shillings a ton.
A ships journey is there and back. The unusual
amount of freight space available for the return
journey has caused a great drop In freight rates
for the transportation of grain from the United
States to Europe which has been aided by the in
ability of American railroads to promise grain de-
Iiveries at shipping ports, due, of course, to the rail
road strike. In England, much coal, a demand from
America, and insufficient ships send freight rates
up. In America, too many ships and a scarcity of
cargoes send freight rates down from Id cents a
hundred pounds to 111a, with the prospect of going
to 10 cents, which figure is much below pre-war
minimum.

The Wide Open Exhaust

AUTOMOBILE regulations in most towns and
" cities require the silencing of automobile and
truck exhausts by use of the mufHer intended for
that particular purpose. In a city like Casper
where there are thousands of motor cars the noise
made by them when the muller is cut out becomes
very annoying. Notwithstanding written and verbal
complaints of this nuisance by citizens the racket
is still permitted 10 90 merrily on throughout the
city. 1t matters not the hour of the day or night,
or whether there is illness in the family the deafen,
ing noise apparently must be made.
In Offices, stores, churches and schools, business,
sermons and lessons must be suspended while the
automobile and truck driver tears holes in the at
m%osphere.
The public annoyance could be easily suppressed
by simply closing the cut out and turning the ex-
Ger would do the trick, if the city has an ordinance
requiring a closed exhaust.
The police court would do all the rest.
Ask some hard working citizen who lives within
a square of the parking place of a flock of trucks,
the fotilla is steaming up for n voyage to Salt
Creek. He will tell you promptly and he will also
ornament it with profanity.
There is no sensible reason why the nuisance
cannot be abated. There is no good reason why it
should continue. 1t does not affect the operation
of the car one way or another. 1t simply makes
noise.
Placing red chalk marks upon the tires of cars
parked along the business streets may be an i'm
portant matter; but there are thousands of citizens
in Casper who will not agree that it is as important
as suppressing the racket occasioned by open e1-
hausts.

4 World Bencfactor.

ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL has gone to his
a reward.
To the world at large, it is the venerable in.
yentor of the telephone who has passed on. To a
much smaller group, it is a beloved educator. a
teacher of the most difficult pupils in the world,
who has departed the sphere of his activities.
DR.. BELL whose labors in science and invention
brought him fame and fortune. did not cease his
benefits to humanity with the invention of the teIe-
phone. Before that epoch-making invention and
during all his long life, he had been a teacher of the
deaf and dumb, a student of means to enable the
dumb to learn to speak, and the deaf to learn to
l"hear' either through instruments or by lip-reading.
The whole world talks by telephone, nor gives a
thought to the man whose genius made it possible.
But no deaf mute learns to communicate with his
fellows, no dumb person learns to speak, but pays
mental tribute of grateful appreciation to the hu.
manitarian, scientist, inventor, teacher and edu.
Gator who spent his life in the amelioration CT their
misfortunes, and on whose teachings the whole mod
ern science of speech taught to the speechless may
be said to rest.

Benefits Fully Proved

A NOTABLE contribution to the discussion of the
ii st. Lawrence waterways project comes from
JULIUS BARNES, in charge of the wheat distribution
and marketing during the war period.
A brief synopsis of Mr.. .BARNEs' article says
among other things:
If the reports of an expert board of engineers
declaring the feasibility and estimating the cost of
this project at $3.50, 100000 are to be discrcdited, he
contends, they should be discredited only by authori-
ties even more competent than the engineers who
made the report. The same principle should apply,
in his judgment, TO the international joint commits
sion which, after two years of public hearings and
earnest consideration, made a report in favor of the
improvement,
So much for the feasibility as an engineers prop
%ositiOn, and Mr.. BARNEs believes it is quite enough.
Naturally he feels more at home personally when
concerned with the economic phases of the subject,
and on this score he has no h%esitancy in saying the
waterway will he a grand good thing for the farmer

as lettering his position as a competitor with the
world trade of the future.
He joins mis- judgment with those who hold that
because this is a working of natural economic law,
a reduction of . cents n bushel in transportation
expense between the western farm and the European
consumer would add that value Of . cents a busheI
TO every bushel grown in the territory affected by
the radius of the Great Lakes ports,n and he in
ciudes in this radius the states ranging from Ohio
and Indiana on the east to Montana, Wyoming
and Colorado on the west, and south to Missouri
and Kansas.
These states snow a production of 1000 million
bushels of the five standard crops which. at 5 cents
n bushel, would represent the sum Of 200 million
dollars n year, OF four-ffths of the estimated cost
of the waterway. Western Canadian farmers would
stand to benefit to the extent of 3 cents o bushel
on 500 million bushels, bringing the total up to 225
million dollars.
Additional Justification for the waterway, IL one
were needed. is to be found in the possible byprod-
uet of hydro electric power development on the wa.
terway.
Mr.. BARNES cites the parallel of railroad freight
rates and their effect on the farmers return to sus-
tain the fact of the natural economic law which he
invokes as a reason for constructing the waterway.
The farmers, he says, ."have seen the instant refec.
tion in an improved farm price of the recent reduc-
ton of raj. transportation charges between the
country station in the vast grain territory and the
Chicago market and he holds that they are on solid
ground in expecting proportionate benefits as an
effect of the low water rates that will be made pos
sible with construction of an outlet to the seas, re-
curing no cargo transfer.

Once More, Grade Crossings

ATTENTION has been called repeatedly to rail.
way grade crossings on the several city streets
and the great danger to human life that is con.
stantly present at these points. Only yesterday
morning accidents at the Center street and Durbin
street crossings were narrowly averted by the
prompt action of citizens who fortunately happened
to be on the ground.
Railroad shortage of help will not be held as
sufficient excuse in case of the death of a pcdes-
trian or driver of a car at these grade intersections.
Human life is a valuable thing and the laws do not
place it at the mercy of a railroad company. The
laws protecting human life are plain and very ex.
plicit and officials are derelict. in their duty when
these laws are not enforced.
The time to enforce safety first is now. not
after some tragedy has occurred. Prating about
safety" and emitting the essentials to insure it is
the bunk.
Guard these crossings in some manner. if it re.
quires the entire police force of the city. The life
of any child in the city is worth more than any
possible cost to the city or the railroad companies.
Do something and do il now.
