I The High Cost of Official Extrava­ gance. .The biggest single cause of the high cost of living at this* time is the excessively high cost of government. The chief of sinners in this respect has been the national government under Wilsonian direction.

Lloyd George, the British premier, in a speech the other day in parlia­ ment. said that British industry has run i^foul of the law. One of the arguments in favor of reducing the number of working hours, he said, was that the reruction in time would not involve a reduction in output. i There has, the premier said, been a substantial reduction in the hours of labor and it has been found that the output has been reduced almost in the same mathematical proportion. Lloyd George said he thought there was evidence of international slow­ ing down in production and that it is necessary for not only the workmen but the managers and the foremen to put their shoulders to the task of increasing production. It was a dan­ gerous and fatal fallacy, he said, that the less men worked the more work there would be for others; and it Is highly important for those having influence with the workers to do their utmost to explode that fallacy. —Spokesman Review.
