Pyramided puces re giving way before marked public resistance. The newspaper muu.w, however, it one In which there can be no radleal revision In prices, fur the very good reason that newspaper ser vice to both reading public and ad vertiser has been for many years un dervalued and underpaid. During the war and since, newspaper prices h.va advanced as a last resort under circumstances over which publishers have bad no control. . It is but honest and fair to statu in ihia ninnectlou thut there has been no profiteering by newspaper pub lishers, hut, on tne contrary, service of the first order most un usual and extraordinary Interference by government. There ran be no reduction today In newspaper rates, neither to inc reader or advertiser In fact In many Instances there must be still further advances In subscription ana adver tising rates to cover increases In com since October 1 In labor and materials. "Truth Is, the hazards of newspaper publishing are so great, the lure to exceptional and expensive public ser vice so enticing, and competition so keen, that It Is practically Impossible to accumulate needed reserves and necessary betterments, to say nothing of adequate managerial compensa tion, dividends, etc. Since 1914, the principal factors In newspaper making, organized labor and newsprint, have Increased In cost 498 per cent, while In the same per iod retail prices have Increased ap proximately ISO percent: advertising ratet 18(1 per cent a total of 33U per cent, leaving a balance of 168 per cent In actual Increased costs of production that hat been absorbed by reduction In pages and other economies. These figures do not lm-iude non union labor Increases, which have been In almost equal proportion, or a multitude of all kinds of tax Items. Deflation Is now the order of the day In practically every business ex cept that of newspaper making. Frlcct must come down, but news paper price must never again be peremltted to fall to the old cut throat level that prevailed prior to 1914. from the standpoint of production costs labor and newsprint the newspaper publishing business will be unchanged In 1921 over 1920. There is no tendency to lower wage arales and In ull probability news print will continue to sell on con tracts at the same average as In 1920, If not 10 per cent higher. There cun be no lowering tif rales plther to subscriber or advertiser. The newspaper business Is today on a more sound basis than ever before In lis history and It must be kept there. In some cases, as we haw said, further Increases In revenues will be necessary to meet the n standards. As a matter of fact since October 1, over 300 newspapers hnve raised advertising rates on an aver age of about 26 per cent. It may he necessary for other newspapers to follow this lead, in spite of general price declines. In the meantime it Is the duty of every newspaper publisher In Amer ica to take stock In order that he may present a logical dollar-and cents reason for his prevailing schedule of rates. Instead of some sentlmentul reason which was the rule some years ago and which. It Is hoped, has been driven out of newt payer and advertising business for all time. SAI.VA(Jl:il KI'.KhS. A tomato seed does not appeal to many persons as an unlc-le to be coveted either for Its Intrinsic value or for any artistic satisfaction II might afford. (Ireenhouses are com pelled to work with tomato seeds perhaps, but the amateur or profe sional gardener prefers to Ignore the seed and to set out well-started plains In his tomato patch. Yet hi comes the department of agriculture - with statistics showing that 1000 tons of tomato seeds are thrown away annually in the proceaa of can ning that pulpy, edible fruit of solannceous herb. Ilefore asking Jauntily. "What of II?" the read should consider the fact that tho,- seeds. If properly saved and prepared. would bo worth about $sti,ooo for edible oil and slock food. The department of agriculture es tlmates that the cost of handling 1000 tons of tomato seeds would be about 3fi.(iO0 a year. That would mean a net gain from such conserva tion of It l.dllO, not to mention the edible oil and stork food. Incident ally, the same machinery used In the conservation of tomato seeds could be used for grape, squash or other greater thrift in the handling of many fruits and vegetables passing through the canneries. The housewire would not gain much by attempting to hoard I. .mam needs with a view to manufacturing lucrative products. Hut there Is no reason why a large canning plant should overlook the by-products sug gested by agricultural department experts. This Is the day of conser vation, of salvaging what used to be looked upon as waste material, and of making even the smallest things count In production.
