HAS "DEFLATIoN' GONE TOO FAR?

The question above may be answered in
the affirmative in a majority of cases.
Deflation, like initiation, works in ''vic-
ious circle" It's action and reactions be-
come so involved and economic conditions
are so tangled in period Of deflation it Is
almost impossible to eXtricate business
from the vicious circle" Deflation has
gone too far in many cases and has reached
the danger point. The hope of the country
for. improved economic conditions is based
on the recovery of business from the low
point of deflation reached the past year.
What is necessary to improve business
conditions? The answer is higher COM
modify prices, higher prices for farm prod
ucts and for the products of industry
higher wages in many lines of business and
industry. Only by this process of initiation
can the buying power of the country be
restored; and this restoration is absolutely
necessary for the restoration of anything
approaching normal economic conditions
Perhaps the condition of initiation in the
country will never again reach the point
gained in the so-called ''boom years." but
1T Is certain that general movement in
that direction is a necessary preliminary
to the restoration of good times"
The natural course of deflation is Illus
trated in the comment of Editor and Pub
Usher on developments in the newspaper
business. "Not newspaper which has cut
advertising rates the past six months can
show an increase in volume to compensate
forthe lOss,' says this trade journal The
TimeS-News some time ago called attention
to this fact. Decrease of advertising rates
has not increased volume The result IS
that newspapers have had less business at
lower rates and have been compelled t,
meet two losses. In all lines of selling this
haSbeen true. In retail business, however,
merchants have had the opportunity to in
crease the number and volume of sales but
dollar volume has dropped, due to lowered
prices. By hard work and the use of in
creased advertising appropriations, some
of the retail merchants of the country
have made record showings; but in most
cases the volume of business has dropped
along with retail prices.
TO bring prices back to a reasonable
level is the big problem before the people
of this. country. Further deflation would
probably prove more disastrous than any,
thing the country has so far experienced.
The view of The Times-News is that the
time has come to stress quality in merchan-
disc and not merely low prices; and that
the thought of all the country's business
men should be directed to boosting prices
instead of efforts to further deflate prices.
Commodities should sell for what they are
reasonably worth. Services should sell and
labor should sell on the same economic
plane.
Aeflation has gone too far and general
prosperity will be restored by a measure
of Initiation which will afford fair prices
accommodates, for common labor and for
expert services.

BARTER FOR VANCE
BY CUBS UNLIKELY
Club Is Well Stocked With
Right t-Handers-Might Put
Over SouthpaW Deal.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ HICAGO, March 3-There
does not seem to be much
sense to the yarn that Dazzy
Vance may start the 1888 sea-
son pitching in the regimentals Of the
Chicago Cubs rather than the gaudily
trimmed uniform of the st. Louis
Cardinals.
The Cards may be willing to barter
the old daZzler, but just why the Cubs
should want him Is another question.
They have a good collection of right
handlers and unless Vance stages q
large-sized comeback he would add
little or nothing to the effectiveness Of
the Chicago staff.
Charlie Grimm probably would hest-
tate quite a while before taking on an
other veteran right-handed pitcher at
the cost of some player now on the
Cub squad. The Bruins shared Bur-
leigh Grimes last year and he was Of
little or no value to the team.
Grimes has had himself repaired over
the Winter and is attempting to make
a comeback. He is almost as good a
Bush, Malone, Root, Warnecke and
Timing around, the Cubs are well sup
piled with righthanders.
However, there is a chance that Chi
cago may make deal with st. Louis
for left-handed pitcher. The Cards
have three good southpaws in Hallahan,
Walker and Mooney. It is unlikely
they will need all three of them and
might be induced to part with one,
provided the inducement were suf-
ficiently large.

~ ILOXI, Miss, March 3.-That
X Joe Cronin is going to place
more than usual hopes on
pitchers salary whip Is evi-
denced by the care which is being
planned for Hurler AL Thomas arm.
Both Cronin and Uncle Clark
Griffith have said that they will
rely a great deal upon the broad
shouldered right-hander's pitching
to get up in front this year. Not
only that, but they have both said
on several occasions that Thomas
is a great pitcher with lot of good
pitching left in the wing which has
been repaired.
According to information cleaned
here. Thomas arm will undergo
daily massaging while at camp
under the careful manipulation of
Trainer Mike Martin. Mike will take
charge of the whip tomorrow and
from then until the bell hits he will
prep it for the flag flight.
Martin believes that Tommys arm
Is as good as ever, but should get
special treatment and care following
the operation of last Winter. He
believes that massaging the limb
daily will put it in top shape for
next Summer.
Martin, by the way, says the prog
