AMERICAS VAST WEALTH.

An exchange, calling attention to
the fact that America is the richest
country on earth, says that it is still
possible for fresh evidence to give
us pleasurable shock of surprise, and
calls attention to the news of "a
hours, which records the following
facts:
In 1922 as compared with 1921, the
number of automobiles In use IN the
United States increased by 1,850,OOO,
or Upper cent. In the same year de-
posts in savings banks increased one
and a half billion dollars, the total
now being Is billion, more than
three-fourths the amount of our
national debt. Even more remark
able is the increase in the purchase
of life insurance. Records OF 40
leading companies show that in the
whole year, IL per cent was added
to the total, which is now more than
SO billion dollars. In the month OF
December the rate was actually 20
per cent higher than in the same
month a year ago. 1t is also pertln-
ent to note that in the year building
and loan associations increased their
membership IL per cent, their re-
sources Is per cent. A significant
straw in the wind is the announce
ment that the Consolidated Gas COM
pany's issue of Is million dollars
worth of preferred stock was over
subscribed three to one in the course
of six days. Twenty-Five thousand
persons applied for one or two shares.

RETAIL PRICES.
The most important factor of the
immediate future in retail trade is
price. After two years of stinted
buying and waiting for prices to come
down, the public has at last come
into the market, not buying rashly
and extravagantly, as in 1919, but to
meet needs which long have been
neglected That increase in prices of
raw materials and rising labor costs
will be reflected in higher retail
prices for spring trade is foreshadow-
ed by the recent advances in cata-
logue prices amounting to about 10
per cent, by two of the largest mail
order houses. Only actual test can
determine whether general increase
in prices will tend again to curtail
or stife the habit of normal buying
which is only beginning to be re-
established-Na National City Bank Bull

The Capper rural credits bill is
pronounced by conservative financiers
throughout the country to be econo-
mically sound, the foundation prin-
ciple being that rural credits, like
all other sound business credits,
should be supplied by private capital
and private savings, the government
assuming no direct responsibility.
The bill accordingly provides for the
incorporation Of agricultural credit
associations, to be privately financed,
under the supervision of the comp
troller Of the currency, and for such
moderate changes in the federal re-
serve and farmloan systems as
would facilitate borrowing by farm
ers and would enhance the usefulness
Of those systems to agriculture and
the livestock industry.

AN ADVANCED STEP.

The Weiser Signal, commenting on
the consolidation of the two Grange
vile newspapers, has the following
to say:
Newspapers should be run as a
business and for the upbuilding of
the community, and one good one in
a town with it's columns open to
limited space from all political par
ties alike, at regular rates, would
accomplish more than two or three
half starved political footballs in a
small community. The editors and
business men of Grangeville in get
ting together on such basis have
taken an advanced step in the direc-
ton of better journals and less local
factionalism."

may have seemed more conservative
when he faced the responsibilities of
the war. But there is nothing in his
record to prevent a triumphant as
sumption of labor's cause.
Labor Power Increases.
The vote and power of the labor
party is increasing. Royalty wor-
ried a bit. invited labor leaders to
dine, wishing to look at these men
who boast that they will yet lead
Britain. Young collegians, men
trained in the best schools and mas
tiers of parliamentary logic. are in
its ranks. In dealing with the Eng
lish labor party, the government is
not dealing with a group of political
simpletons who can be handled at
finger tips. There are. on the labor
benches of Parliament today. long
haired radicals. low browed rough
necks, and a group of the most brill
liant. polished young statesmen in
the house.
Sooner or later they will get in"
English politicians agree. We've got
to have labor government, for the
strength of the party will soon de-
mand 1t. We've got to have it, if only
to prove that it isn't feasible. The
best thing to do is to let it come.

HENDERSON DIPLOMAT
Arthur Henderson, leader of the la
Dor party. today, is a man whom
either the liberal or conservative
party might we'll prefer to have on
their benches. Poised and cool, his
calm statement of labor's case is
handled with the skill of a master
parliamentarian.
Ramsay Macdonald is another fig
ure in the labor movement who might
well be cabinet material under a la
Dor government. Debating power,
and disconcertng fund of informa =
ton on labor conditions make him a
formidable opponent for any tory who
may attempt to lump labor, social
ism, radicalism and bolshevism under
one "bugaboo" head.

They, as well as other governments
affected, are understood to be hopeful
of relief before long through some
remedial step which will afford them
more liberty of action within the
limits of their own ships when in

The possibility of some lines can

from remote. The Spanish Royal
