Some check has been placed upon the upward trend by government fixing of prices in the TWNG.A A FELLA GONNA - BE Ne READS? MeN T WAELA EAD LCE 7) = THAT.

If theextortionate practices of monop- oly were: prevented by adequate laws and adequate law \enforcement ‘prices. would automatically be kept at as low|~ level as that to which-they might be brought by direct government determi- nation, Just what laws in addition to those already on the statute books are necessary to abolish monupolistic ex- tortion is a question of detail that need-not be considered here. ‘In pass: ing, ft may, be noted that governnient competition with monopolies that can- not be effectively restrained by the or- dinary anti-trust laws deserves’ more serious consideration than it has yet received. Co-operative Stores. , “More important and more effective} than any government regulation of prices would be the establishment of co-operative stores. The enormous toll taken from industry by the various classes of middlemen.ts now fully real- ized. ‘The astonishing difference be- tween the price’ received by the pro- ducer and that paid by the. consumer has become a scandal’to our industrial system, ‘The obvious and direct means of reducing this discrepancy and abol- ishing unnecessary middlemen is the operation of retall and wholesale mer- cantile: concerns under the ownership and management of the consumers. This is no Utopian scheme. | It ha: been successfully carried out in Eng: land and Scotland through the Roch- dale system, Very few serious efforts of this kind have heen made. in. this country because our ‘people ‘have hot felt the need of these ‘co-operative en- terprises a3 keenly as the: European working classes and Yecause we have been too impatient and too individual istic to make. the necessary, sacrifices and to be content; with ‘moderate bene- fits ‘and gradual progress. | Neverthe- lesa our superior energy, initlative-and commercial’ capacity will enable us once we ‘set about the task earnestly even to surpass what has been done in England and Scotland. “Train to Habits of Saving. “In addition to reducing the cost of living, the co-operative stores would] train our working people and con- sumers generally in habits of saving, in careful éxpenditure, in. business. meth- ods and in the capacity for co-opera- tion. When the working classes have learned to make the sacrifices and ‘to| exercise the patience required by the ownership and operation #f :co-opera- tive stores they willbe equipped to un- dertake a great variety of tasks and projects: Which benefit the conimunjty immediately sand all, <its constituent members ultimately. They will then realize the folly of excesstve selfish- ness.and.senseless individualism. Until they have acquired this knowledge, training and capacity, desirable exten- sions of governmental action in indus- try will not ‘be attended’by a-normal anfount of success. No machinery ‘of government can operate automatically, and-no official and bureaucratic admin- istration of such machinery tan-ever be a substitute for intelligent interest and co-operation by the individuals of the community. ¢ Uttimate- Reforma. “Despite the practical and imme diate character of the present *state- ment, we: cannot entirely neglert the question of yitimate alms and aoays- tematic program, for other groups‘are busy issuing such systematic pro- nouncemente, and -we-all need -some- thing of ‘the kind -as -a: philosophical foundation and-as a satisfaction to our natural desire for, comprehensive state- ments. “Jt_geems clear that the.present:in- dustrial system is destined to last fora long time in jts main: outlines—that is ‘to say, private Ownership-of: capital is not-likely to-be supplanted ‘by a: collec- tivist organization of Inéustry.. at’ d. date, aufficiently ‘near to. justity any present action based onthe hypothesis of its arrival. “Dhis forecast we retog- hize as not. only. éxtrenety prevable, but as highly desirabie, for, ether ob-| ~ jections apart, Socialism vould mean ‘bureaucracy, political: tyranny, the helpjessness of the individual as a fac- ! tor inthe ordering of his own life and ~\ in general social dpemictenrs and de: cadence. Defects of Present: ‘Syatem, “Nevertheless “the =presemt -‘system stands in gtievous need of tunsjder- able modifications: end ent. “Ite ‘main défects are: thfeeenormous inefficiency and waste in the produc- tion and distribytion of commodities, insufficient incomes for the great 'ma- ity of wage-earners and unnecessa-} “Hy large incomes for-a small minority: of priviteged. Say The evils in / ( productos tind Th the distribution ot goods would be in great. measure-abol- ished by the ‘yeforms that hive been outlined in,the foregoing pages. Pro- duction will be greatly increased by universal living wages, by adequate in- dustrial education and by harmonious relations between. labor and capital on the basis of adequate participation by the former in all the industrial aspect of business management. The wastes of commodfty distribution could be practically «all eliminated by co-opera- tive mercantile establishments and co- operative selling and marketing associ- ations. Minority Members rs Challenge Leaguers Holding Newspaper Stock to Vote on. Measure (Continued on Page Wight.) tributed among the three official news- papers? “You aust admit, Mr. Patterson, that FYou.are going to publish a whole lot of statements that people will never read and that, never’ have been published before, ang that the state is ‘going to pay for. their publication.” Patterson rejoined that he stood. for democracy. “The laws on ‘our ‘statute books now have been made by lawyers in sympathy with ‘newspaper editors,” he declared. The -house then. .proceeded to vote down an amendment offered. by Lowe removing power to appoint official pa-+ pers in each county from a_ printing} commission of three and conferring it upon the’ people. The house also adopt- ‘ed an amendment substituting the chairman of the railway commission for the land commissioner asa ber of the bod, which now consists of the secretary of state, commissioner | of agriculture and chairman of the} rail board. IN REGARD TO-SAVING ‘On the subject of a $150,000 saving which Rep. 'Keitzman declared would be effected for the taxpayers, Judge Hemmi of Stutsman said: , “In-niy revised criminal code I made .provision for a small ‘sav Ing in print-, dng through the elimiuation%f' reports! aud blanks which did not seem to be) necessary. That bill was voted down. In. this bill.@ small saving might be @ffected in one detail alone by printing | - county commissioners’ proceedings~..in ‘but one newspaper in each county in- stead of three. But, these proceedings are important; it is of the highest im- portance that, the taxpayers be fa- miliar with them. | But publishing them in one litle paper you might en- rich that paper and in time build up its circulation, but there would be many people in the country who would never see those ‘proceedings; they would reach only a smail- proportion of the people. “If you~ want to go to Russia, go there.
