Those who have been holding off --ranking improvements and Invest ments until there is a drop In prices, night just as well do one o ftwo things make them or postpone the ork for two or three- years with the possibility that everythinn will be just as high then as now, it not higher. The increasing demand for all classes of materials indicates that exception In this regard that the nu instead of dropping, the cost of ev-,1,ors are unable to vouch for the erythlng is going to higher levels refunds that have been turned In. than at any time during the war. ' A number of suggestions are made What is true of all products enter- ing into construction materials is also true of food. The following from the ,unu De "Penned on in approprm Portland Telegram shows that the lon ystem. a demands bo audi ost of living is going higher' before ted before Pent by a deputy in it goes lewer: Is it possible to escape Increased i cost of living this year? The In quiry is prompted by two commercial' announcements this week.

Whether the advanced price will be permanent is debatable, but the probabilities of a recession to last week's price are very small. Viewed in the light of history for the past four years, the probabilities are that the bread price -Kill go still higher. These are hard facts. Economists may marshal all the theories in the world to prove that prices should re- cede now that the war is over but what becomes of the theory and of the logic, if you please, when respon- slble buyers actually engage to take an entire product at a much higher price than the government's maxi mum a year ago when we were In and demand governs; the buyer lenows that there will be a market lor the fruit at the advanced rate. The increased price was not created by any trust or combination. So claim is set up that the cost of pro duction has so increased as to justify the advanced market price. The or chardlst did not raise the price; it was the buyer who offered it, and the price will stand. In the case of bread, the higher price was imposed by an association of manufacturers, and it will not do to bay that the Increased price is un just, but In both cases the added bur- den as in evervthlnr elsn whlrh In tien. as in eteryminj, else which Is bought and sold, falls upon the ultl mate consumer.
