MEMRER OF eval 0 Te Ste Olternos cedlned 18 VOLUME 59 * FTER studying family budgets in various cities of the country : Labor Department experts reach the oonelusion that the ' present high cost of necessities bears heaviest on incomes of $1,000 or less, while in the case of families whose incomes are $2,500 or over expenditure for necessities has not increased as fast as incowoc. This seems a good deal like discovering that of two hungry men, one possessing a dollar and the other a dime, the one with a dollar has the better chance of finding himeelf with some change left after ‘ satisfying his appetite. It goes with a recent profound remark credited to Julius Rosin. weld of Chicago to the effect that “after all it is not a question so "with of the price one has to pay as what relation this price bears to me's own income.” : What many « hard-working American would like to have the experts tell him just now is this: ; Do the higher economics of Reconstruction demand that con- siderable numbers of American workers who have always believed that honest toil would secure them progressively higher standa diving or at least keep them from slipping downward—do Reconstr.c- . tien economics, we say, require that these workers shall give up that belief as one for which war has swept away all ground, and resign “themselves to sinking 'to lower and lower living standards, while other workers, favored by war, are boosted ahead by ever increasing ‘wages or profits, as the,case may be, amid encouragement from all wethorities including the Government? That is the question which is at present troubling many an ‘American family whose income has NOT mounted blithely along witi ~ prices. Yet the many such families are expected to reckon themselves a “happy part of the post-war prosperity which is to whoop along the war-favored and make continued high prices » mere joke for those who can pay them. ; ‘Stability, we are told, whenever high prices are attacked, is the first essential. “Stability is an impressive word. But it can be usd _ im a bed cause by those who find it easier to defend an economic “injustice than to study it and try to reduce the extent of its effect. —+--——___. will be noted with amazement in the Boe American preparations for on both sides of the who profess a genuine interest in the advance- and who believe that advancement is surest experiment proceeds along carefully considered lines fullest observation. have eaid at a luncheon given in his i : . e you put a ehip every fifty miles it shows you have no your motor.” 60 out of your way to slur a successful rival it RUCTIONS IN YALE TOWN. : ‘T WAS a wise Mayor who put the blame for the New Haven riots on the “unorganized crowd.” The students and the serv men are thereby cleared and the “unorganized crowd” is not kely to protest against the pointing finger.
