outright purchase ot the plant at

Broached by Erb
Lack of equality between the
prices of various .commodities may
be the greatest cause of the pres
ent Dusiness slump, it was sug
gested by Dr. Donald M. Erb.
newly-installed president of the
University of Oregon, in an ad
dress - at the Salem chamber of
commerce luncheon Monday noon.
It makes no difference whether
prices are high or low, so long
as their relation to each other It
normal. Dr. Erb said; but if the
price of any commodity that an
Industry needs Is comparatively
too high, that Industry drops out
of the race. When a monopoly's
prices become so high that de
mand falls off, Its tendency la to
keep the prices up and demani
