Deflation is now In full swum In
the Untied States. 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.

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,-

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.
