203% more than in 1913, for limestone
at quarries 60qo more and for labor
$40 more. Freight rate ON coal was
1919 greater and on limestone 500
greater. A comparison of these in
creases with the increase of 1870
in cement price and $40 in the price
Of all commodities" is enlightening.
Cement is so widely used that users
themselves have standardized il. To-
day every cement maker, regardless
or his brand. meets the specifications
SET jointly by the United States gov
eminent and the country's leading en-
cheering societies. All brands of CO.
ment, therefore, are alike.
Jevon's Economic Law.
Because of this, the prices of various
brands of cement in any given market
usually are the same. The reason
for this puzzles many. But the answer
is simple and well stated by w. Stanley
JevonS. l.. l.. d.. VI. A.. F. Il. S, in his
standard work The Theory of Pol.t.
zeal Economy" which says:
IF in selling a quantity of perfectly
equal and uniform barrels of -four. a
merchant arbitrarily fixed different
prices on them, a purchaser would, OF
course, select the cheaper ones. Hence
follows what is undoubtedly true > .
that i'm the same open market, at any
one moment. there cannot be two prices
for the same article
Applying JevOn'S economic law, a
simple Illustration of cement competi-
ton may be cited thus A. b and g are
cement makers. Each seeks business
at NJ, il town with u 3O-cent freight
rate from A. 81 cents from Il and 10
cents from c. This gives \ a scent
advantage over b and 10 cents owe
C.. A figures he can sell at, say, a
mill price of S1.50. so adds the 80
cents freight and quotes $50 at NJ.
Then If Is and G want to do business
at VI they must meet AS price, requir'
ing b to go > cents below A Ia his
mill price and c to go 10 cents below
A in his mill price. Unless b and G
can make the mill price sacrifices re-
quired by the market at NJ as made
by AS $50 price. then A will mOnopO-
lie h market at NJ.
Similar principles apply to other
materials. Prices are not arbitrarily
made. They are based upon supply and
demand and upon the cost of transport
tatiOn. raw materials and labor. Sup
ply of labor and materials nov is
plentiful. We cannot afford longer to
delay needed building improvements.
This is particularly + because
building is so entwined with the ma
tons prosperity that a full revival

other lines of business.

Next 10 farming. local prosperity
depends upon building activity. The
reason is plain. building is the coun-
ury's second largest industry. II en-
ploys millions of workers directly, mil
ions TO make the materials for build
Ing, and hundreds Of thousands in lum-
boring. quarry!ng and mining.
Everyone knows that a building
shortage exists. one way TO restore
prosperity then, is by a lively resump-
zion of building. Materials and labor
now are plentiful. Costs are lower.

CEMENT Competition Keen.
That competition has been active
IS noted In government reports. Ac-
cording 10 the United States Geological
Survey. the production of cement has
steadily increased and the price de-
clined. Ii shows that In 1880. cement
sold at $500 a barrel average at the
mill In 1920 at $2.02; in 1927, at $1.S7.
Now it is selling al Dany large plants
as low as S1.J0 a barrel, only half
the average price in 1880, and less
than the average for the 40-year period
covered In the government report.
At one of the cOuntry's largest
cement plants the price now is 1870
higher than in the pre-war year 1913.
The latest report of the United States
Department OF Lanor shows the aver
age price OF ALI commodities as
$40 higher than 1913. Some of the
items whose prices enter into this
figure of $50 have undergone radical
decreases. while others are very mucl
higher than the average of $40. Few

Millions more persons in the United
States have incomes over $1,000 than
are given in the bureau of Internal
revenue returns Income in the United
States estimates this class including
income tax payers at 100000 for the
year 1918. whereas only 2.9OS.00O paid
taxes on net income returns of this
amount. Special exemptions of many
sorts account for the difference. IL is
to be noted. too, that no postwar year
figures are yet Obtainable, and conSe-
Quently from 100000 to 100000

VIII ch he reached on the homeward

and none had been scheduled. Yet he

At the Rivoli theatre last evening he

largest and most enthusiastic audience
ever addressed by q gubernatorial
candidate in Pendleton. The theatre
was packed to the doors and he had
an interested. enthusiastic audience
throughout the meeting.

from the senator on the school. bill

with him on the wet and dry issue he
was for Mr.. Pierce because OF his
hitting, outstanding fight for

Mr.. Pierce spoke for over an houe
and devoted his time principally to the

said. During his address the speaker
referred to his critics frequently but
usually in tolerant vein and his
speech was free from abuse. He told
several stories illustrating his points
and the audience was quick to see the
application. The most vigorous ap-
