TITE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 10. 1917. BIG PROFIT CLAMED FOB HIGH FOOD COST V 12 1 Charles R. Van Hise, Repre sentative of Hoover, Says U.S. Supervision Needed. CO-OPERATION IS KEYNOTE Taws of Supply and Demand and Competition Are Broken Down Under Conditions of War, Members' Council Hears. The law of supply and demand and the laws of competition havinsr broken down under the unusual conditions of war, co-operation ia the principle that must be applied, but applied under the supervision of the Federal Govern ment, if the United States is to carry through -this war successfully. This, in effect, was the idea ex pressed by Charles R. Van Hise, presi dent of the University of Wisconsin, at the luncheon of the members' council of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Mr. Van Hise is the official repre sentative of Herbert C. Hoover, chair man of the Government Food Conserva tion Commission, and his address yes terday was on "Governmental Control of Industries in Wartime." High Prices Explained. It Is apparent that the law of sup ply and demand as a regulator of prices has absolutely broken down in this crisis," he said. "It is fetish, which may work In times of normal demand and supply, but not when there is an excess demand for all essential com modities. "The tendency to Increase prices, once started. Is cumulative and the enhancement of prices goes on with increasing- velocity. For fundamental products, as wheat, corn, coal and iron, due to the unreasonable profits of the producers or manipulators, or both, prices are beyond all reason; and the public is being subjected to gross ex tortion. "There Is no sound reason why prices for almose all standard articles should be double what they were a year agro, and for many of them treble what they were two years agx. The demand exceeds the supply by a mod erate percentage; but so futile has been the principle of competition to control the prices when united with co-operation of the producers to con trol the market and the co-operation of manipulators that prices have soared toward the sky. Individual Not Blnmed. "I do not blame the individual pro ducer for this. I blame instead the system. It is to be assumed that the producers will get all the profits they can. There has also undoubtedly been co-operation for the purpose of con trolling the market. "We have had the Sherman act on the statute books for 25 years and It has proved absolutely futile to pre vent co-operation In the enhancement of prices. At the same time we have tried to prevent co-operation in in dustry we have enforced co-operation among the railroads through the In terstate Commerce Commission. One law to prevent co-operation and an other to enforce Itl "The fact is that co-operation is in evitable under the conditions that ex ist today. There is no law which can prevent it because it is so much more profitable to co-operate than to com pete. "But If co-operation in business Is to be allowed, with it must come reg ulation. The war has tremendously accelerated the movement for regula tion. Extortion at Present Charged. "If we are to win the war we can not expect the people to continue to suffer the extortion they are being subjected to now. Already there is discontent among wage earners. "Besides the control of prices, the Government must be allowed to dic tate priority of shipment and of man ufacture. In England no contract can be filled without an order from, the priority board. "In America there has been a frenzy of buying far ahead of actual needs. This is one cause of the enhancement of prices. It can be overcome to some extent by a campaign of education, but that Is not sufficient. If priority boards of the sort which I have de scribed can control distribution, this hoarding of supplies can be overcome. "There remains another important reform connected with the subject un der discussion which, perhaps, cannot be accomplished just now, but which should be brought about as soon as possible. The Sherman act should be amended to provide that the 'restraint of trade' prohibited is only that which Is detrimental to the public welfare. If such an amendment can be made business men will be able to co-oper ate publicly. New Economy Is Forecast. "When the war is over there will be two great alliances of the powers, which will act as economic units. Al readv these two groups are acting: to gether. We have come to realize the economy of buying on a National scale, and this is likely to continue for a considerable period after the war. "Even if we do not keep all the measures which we are adopting In wartime we shall at least sort out those which we find to be of perma nent value. This, it seems to me, is the only way in which Socialism can be escaped. It is the man who is mak ing unfair profits out of the necessi ties of the people who is promoting Socialism today. "I believe that the war will help us introduce a more efficient system of production and distribution than we have had In the past." New Line Connects WitH Southern KLAMATH FALLS, Or., July 9.

TrainincTHe ' CHILD BV WILLIAM BYRON FOR BUSH. PHD. OME children are all flying start. They are regular Ty Cobbs on the K-J getaway. It is exciting to watch those who are so young making three- baererers. And then and then some how they seem to sit down, ana tney forget that third base is not a loot stool, only a flag stop. The world is full of men with silver cups for early eloquences who now at tempt nothing more adventurous than to come daily at 6:15 and clip the grass around the syringa bush. The most versatile man x ever Knew, wno could do anything, from decorating the church to playing the organ and writ- iner a poem for the Sunday school con cert, is a clerk in a fish market. The cleverest child elocutionist of my early memory married a railroad brakeman, Too Easily Satisfied, Why is It than when an Infant prodigy grows up you must so often write over him the epitaph: "He mean well." while he is yet alive? How is it that "the village genius," who stands head and shoulders above his towns men. never fulfils his early promise, never accomplishes anything definite even on his native heath? The answer Is not wholly In th youth himself. Usually his parents have been too easily pleased with what he could do. All o us overpraise medi ocre attainment. We give diplomas at the end of the eighth grade in school and allow girls of 13 to "graduate1 therefrom in white net gowns. Boy Scouts load their arms with 'Tnerit' badges which too often only enumer ate the varieties of their dabbling.

The result is that what our young people have to give to the world is marked plainly, "Not Negotiable." The community loads the lovely girl with flowers on her commencement day, but it cannot rind her a job the day after. The boy is dumbfounded to discover i that there seems to be no relation be tween what he once did for applause and what the world will buy. ! In this first disillusion our youth grow eager for the success that they tasted so early. They perhaps try re course to favor when merit fails, or even to deceit. Or they bolster up their brilliancy with a short course in some expensive "correspondence uni versity." Art Is Long. Why does nobody ever tell them the truth? Tell your daughter who got a prize for her painting at the country fair before she ever took a lesson how the girls at the academies of Phila- elphia, Boston and New York must ave every bit of public school art available before they can even enter; how some of them work six years for traveling scholarship, which in Its turn puts them only at the threshold of becoming an artist. Tell your boy. hose first story was accepted by a juvenile weekly, that the space between that recognition and his being able to get a living by his writing means ither college, followed by a special course in journalism, or ten years in newspaper office. Hon to Score. Life Is not a 100-yard dash. "Died on third" is an obituary that has applica tion beyond baseball. Praise your child's fine beginning for his encour agement, but beware of easy satisfac tions. Never let him show off without setting for htm a higher goal- Third base is only a point of de parture. Use of Reference Boolts. Deur Mr. Forbush: Will you eive me lome suggestion! about buying and using- reference books with my children? So many different handbooks and sets are advertised and recommended. They cannot all be of equal value. THOMAS D. t. It is the way a reference book Is used that really determines its worth. If it s bought and put behind a glass book case It might as well be burled as thus embalmed. The best place for a book of reference Is not in the library, but the dining-room, next to father's hair, where it may be consulted when all the family are together three times day. A good dictionary Is, of course, use ful, but many children do not know 1 1 You Have Seen Her! Too see HER everyday!

They have not mastered the alphabetical order of the words. Because they have fumbled so long they become discouraged about looking up words. I do not think the various miscel laneous "books of facts" are enough more useful than the annual almanacs published by some of the metropolitan newspapers to be worth the difference in price. An encyclopedia is to be regarded as starting point rather than a goal. so 1 favor buying a rather compact one, written from the American stand point, for use with a growing family. Then take the money thus saved and buy thorough books on the subjects in which the children develop an interest. "Children's libraries are very dif ferent in value, as they are different in their aims. Some are distinctly literary, others more Informational in character. I will send any one Inter ested a brief analysis of some of the best ones. Usually they cost more than theyo ught to. Cloth bindings are less expensive and more durable. A book of synonyms Is very useful and is not often recommended. It helps accurate speech and leads to the dictionary. WpEN ! JiOTHERSr f DAUGHTER!
