AND ARE LOST IN THE LABY
RINTH OF WILD IMAGINATIONS
The industrial world seems to have
swung badly out of its true orbit and
no longer follows its natural and
proper course.
JVJen think in exaggerated terms and
are lost in the labyrinth of yild imag
inations. The wheels of . industry
have slowed down. Business is stag
nant, labor is cut off from its living,
and the people stand in nervous
amazement at the strange turn of af
fairs. . inere is serious triction between la-
! 001 ana eapixai, tne consumer and
! the producer. Labor is defiant and
i determined: capital is apprehensive
nd. conscious. Confidence is lost, and
! ,uuinesH moves witn ieeDie ana nesi-
tating step.
Avarice fills men's hearts, and their
greed knows no satiety. Action is
controlled by low, selfish interest
rather than by high Christian princi
ples. Profiteering has been and is yet to
a deplorable extent the greatest curse
that ever inflicted itself upon a help
less people.
Master minds are urgently needed
i m every department of industry and
t"t : !.. A. J- . 1 J . 1 " ' 1 j
government to leao tne way duck to
normal and healthy conditons, to in
dustrial peace and" financial content
ment. The railroads have asked for and
secured a greatly needed increase of
freight rates; the shippers are clam
oring for reduced transportation
charges. The employers of labor are
demanding a reduction of wages, and
are applying strong pressure to se
cure it; the employes are resistine: as
best IJiey can any radical cut "in their
pay. But profiteering goes merrily
on.
A member of our national Congress
and prominent western senator de
clared recently: "The greatest obstacle
in the way of a return to normal con
ditions and the restoration of business
is the high cost of transportation."
A certain gentleman living in tjjis
county had the misfortune to lose his
clothing by fire. Going to a local
dealer, who conducts a large mercan
tile establishment to replenish his
wardrobe, he found the merchant very
sympathetic and ready to. help in time
of trouble by way of making a liberal
discount on any article needed. Show
ing a $35 suit of clothes the merchant
offered them to his unfortunate custo
mer just at cost, $8,98. We wonder
how much lower that suit of clothes
would have been sold if there had been
no freight cost charged up against it.
Livestock men, it is said, are tell
ing the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion the exasting rates will ruin them
if continued.
Ask any farmer what he is getting
on the local market for his beef cat
tle, then inquire of the city housewife
what she is paying for steak.
Certain conditons, whether natural
or unnatural, have forced down the
prices of raw 'material far below
the cost of production. Now if "big
business" can only reduce the cost of
labor, or the cost of changing the raw
material into finished products, the
profiteers all along the line can still
continue to ride on the high waves of
big profits, gouging the people to their
last dollar.
Wages had soared abnormally high
and the prices of most all commodities
went up beyond all reason, and there
there must be a new adjustment be
tween consumer and the producer,
with the profiteer eliminated before
business can be stabilized; their man
ufacturing plants will take on new
life, and the railroads get busy.
But the greatest obstructer to pre
vent, the return of prosperity and the
active resumption of business iswith
out doubt the profiteer; he is the big
gest cuss on earth.
