virtue of restricting consumption. If
how reiau prices are lowered to a rea-
soname level, tne tendency will be to
increase consumption, unless a sense
ut painouc omigation intervenes to
forbid the exercise of the enlarged,
purchasing power that this scheme is
meant to give. It is desirable, of
course, that there should be economy,
in expenditures for foodstuffs, but it
is more desirable that there should be
economy in the use of them. This
new scheme is designed to make econ
omy in expenditure possible, but there
is nothing in it to enforce economy of
use. This remains to be accomplish
ed by the exercise of individual will,
and any reduction of retail prices that
may be brought about will only work
to make the exercise of individual will
rrore necessary if we are to satisfy
pll our needs with the supplies avail
able." Another point The News might
have made is that license by retailers
is required of those only who do a
business of one hundred thousand dol
lars a year. The small dealer, who is
the chief one from, whom the poorer
classes of people buy, do not have to
take out license and .do not have the
threat of refusal to supl more goods
to them hanging ' on "- their heads.
