The price of nearly every article of commerce has, fallen perceptibly and m not a few instances the pre sent price is at or below the pre-war price. FoodstuS sell at a low figure and the price of farm commodities is iouer than for many years. ".here is one big stumbling block in the way of price reduction and that is the high wage of labor. confined to the communion to which 1 he belonged.

It begins to look as if the world is going to settle down and have a little peace. Germany adopts a law providing for disarmament and against any armed associations in the land. Russia makes formal peace with Poland and Ukraine and decides that it is best policy to quit i the world revolution talk and pick up friendly relation with other na tions. Turkey begins to look as if she is satisfied w ith the new arrange ments recently agreed to by the Al lies. Mexico is at peace at last and the Panama spark has died out. The only country that seems to have a chip on its shoulder is Greece. This little country is threat ening a scrap with the Turkish na tions, and the king has ordered out the reserves. The chances are. how ever, that it is all a bluff. Greece isjioor as a rook and very heavily in M besides.

It has been said, and from the foregoing appears much reason for believing it. that in making the na tional agreements both sides of the table set out to create a situation that would be embarrassing to the railroads on their return to private control. Whether or not this was done purposely the fact is outstand ing that it was done most effective ly, and must be just as effectively undone before we can hope for fur ther progress on our way back to normal The Manufacturer. Under the Yoke. In fact under two yokes. The big daily newspapers admit it. They all declare that rents were never so high, and that tares were never so high. I Rents are doubled on dwellings,: apartments and business rooms. But in spite of that taxes and wages eat it all up and good buildings pay on; an average less than six per cent. Taxes are not only eating up the profits of the owners but of the ten ants, and as a result of this double tendency property values are declin ing. They say it costs too much to build a house or business building and there is no building, no sale of ma terials, no employment of workers, and a decline in community prosper ity. The only remedy is to reduce over head cost of government by at least one-fourth to one-half, instead of im posing new taxes, and reduce the war scale of wages in building trades and public employes. Setting A New Pace. In these days when municipalities and states are raising taxes, running in debt, and doing "job" politics, it is refereshing to read of a town set ting a diflerent pace. The little city of Salem, capitol of Oregon, has only about 20,000 pop ulation, but it has a model city gov ernment and lives within its regu larly adopted budget. The citv is running this year on about $5000 less than last year, has reduced its tax levies for the past two years, has paid off debt and low- s A F E T Y & s E R V I C E BE SURE THEN GO AHEAD In these uncertain times of readjustment in business, it is wise to have safe plans and know all you can of what the future holds.
