recently broken out a widespread prbtett against high prices ana an oiiempica nq in aome piaccj niuu ujw against certain commodities the fact being that in the eighteen years since 4892 the index numbers show that there has been a rise in the wholesale price of commodities not including labor of but 1 341 per cent In this State at least wages and salaries have certainly increased much more than that For the United States computed from the records of 4034 wage paying establishments and 992 retail grocers the National Bureau of Labor finds that as compared with average fullititne weekly earnings for the decade 1 890 1 899 taken at 100 the number 1019 would represent the earnings in 1892 and 1224 in 1907 The bureau also finds that if the amount of food which a weeks average wages would buv in 1892 be represented by 994 the amount which the average weekly wage would buy in 1 907 would be represented by 1015 The retail price of commodities increases nearly as fast as wages increase because labor enters so largely into retailing Retailers need and get larger profits than they got in 1892 They have td for their expenses are greater The amount of money in circulation per capita at the end of the last fiscal year was 31 per cent greater than in 1892 and the rise of checks in payments it much greater and the per capita circulation of money is doubtless the greatest single factor in raising the price level bne lhinf of Ivhat Congrets MroeslionWy Intended td ivt the producers A large numbtfof prodacert procured jut rnjWtwn tgainst the tat of rata pending an

taking testimony in thq ease whjch will be considered later by the whole Coramittion In reply to the protesUof the lemon grower the railroads made reply1 that whether weight bulk oryalua be considered It was worth at much to transport lemons at oranges which it obviooiry true It wt conceded to be true by the atrnt growers who thereupon setup that I per 100 pounds WM enough for oranges as well at lemons and testimony will be taken on the whole matter The majority of the railroads of the country participate in this traffic and share in the rate They are therefore made defendants in the case and to many df them are represented by counsel that tt it said this meeting has the appearance or a railroad convention It It a very mrwrtant rii anrf it tnAv txt Anrn time before decision it rendered by the Commission whose practice is to consider even the remote results of what they do at for example whether a reduction of the rate on our oranges may not compel the reduction ot the rates on Florida oranges Of course if the rate of 1 15 is found absolutely unreasonable in itself that settles the matter If the decision hinges on its relation to other rates the problem becomes complicated I AN

businett principle it can at least ttretch the law to prevent private enterprise from supplying in cities a necessary service which it can perform much better than the Postoffice performs it and for much less money A man in Portland Or hat been indicted for making a regular business of delivering bills statements and other commercial docu In other words the financial situation if ab jments and perhaps other material which might be mauco ukit aaarcucs wuuin inc tiiy aiic Government claim a monopoly of the mail service and holds that the Portland man has infringed the Char Clanatr Clnaity normal at all is abnormally favorable for everybody We get more money spend more live in greater comfort and either save more or spend more for personal gratification We have far more of what goes to make lite enjoyable than we bad eighteen years ago and if we are not happier it is because we yield ourselves to the suggestions of muck rakers that we are the downtrodden victims of the ruthless rich that the country is going to the dogs and that our only salvation is to completely rip up our whole financial and industrial system and reconstruct it on lines which will make profit impossible And therein lies the danger If prices are higher than in 18924 they will be still higher ten years hence if we do not break up the foundations of our prosperity Transactions iuwliug employment foe nril Hons are now made on the theory that prices and the coat of firing will slowty but steadily ancrease If there coma a general maiitlion to the contrary if doobIat ltTstosa naxifests itself in a

would get all the business on which there is a considerable profit by under bidding and giving better service but when it comes to prohibiting competition within the limits of a single city and forbidding written communication between residents of that aty unless it yields a rake off to a mismanaged department it borders close on tyranny There is an enormous and wholly unreasonable profit to the Postoffice in a two cent rate on letters to be delivered in the same dry There is a large profit on delivery of third das matter and a very large one on such matter wm weighing the regulation two Private cstespnte would gladly undertake it for half what the Govcnaneat charges and in all large cities there are probably agencies doing what the Portland man has been indicted for doing They srve

SACRAHETTTO VALLEY San Francisco was ahead of New Orleans in tonceiving the Panama fair and should be the first lo finance it Under the new uniform bill the theaters from which soldiers cannot be excluded are mostly in territories where there arent any shows worth seeing In declaring that a war between Japan and the United States is inconceivable Count Komura failed to take account of the magazines Anything is conceivable to the editor of a monthly who is hard tup for a story 1 Big Tim Sullivan is not disturbed by the charge Jthat he had something to do with the Yellow Pup fund

making a poor man jealous unusual cruelty In Lighter Van An Advertising Fund of 50000 a Year Is to Be Raited by Subscription THE enterprise of the Sacramento Valley Improvement Association hat again been demonstrated by its success in raising a fund of 50000 a year for advertising the valley It is announced that more than half the money hat been subscribed by leu than twenty five firms and individuals which assures the success of the fund as the counties themselves will presumably be contributors To some this may seem a large amount of money but it it not Advertising in any effective way costs a good deal of money and 50000 will have to be handled with great wisdom and prudence to produce the expected result The most profitable advertising is that which tt made so prominent that it cannot tail to catch the eyes of the multitude then if attract ively worded correspondence results and from cor respondence in the end come settlers It never pays to widely advertise an undesirable property or to mis represent in advertising But with such a valley as the Sacramento to advertise there is no need of exag geration The truth is attractive enough and the inquirer when he tees the valley will find the reality above his anticipations Advertising of undeveloped land is necessity California is a long distance from the densely populated parts of the world and while the State at a whole it the best advertised region on earth it is so large and so varied in character that the intending immigrant needs tome detailed description of particular sections at a guide to some definite destination Those who have abundance of money and time at their disposal can take a yearand see all parts of the State but the majority are compelled to be prudent in expenditure and need to be interested in some particular section and special industry before they can start Literature prepared and distributed by a responsible public body like the Sacramento Valley Improvement Association with nothing of its own to sell is of the utmost advantage to those looking for homes and will be most effective attracting Ute best class of settlers i THE LEMON RATE INVESTIGATION receipt Hence the indictment JLMivexy ot maul wife of th manager or tb dining car at addresses began in the cities of this country by the OI wnaatan raewc Rail enterprise of individuals who procured orderf from firms and families for the delivery of their mail charging one cent per package for delivery This wat a flourishing business until cut out by the free delivery by Postoffice carriers But the great busi ness of interurban mail which has resulted from mod ern methods of advertising has become a very impor tant source of revenue to the Postomce The charge for local delivery is so exorbitant that firms doing a large business often deliver bills statements and the like by their own messengers which we suppose they can do with impunity What the Portland man has done at appears from the dispatches is merely on extension of this practice Instead of a firm sending its own employe it contracts for the service with an outsider The thing for the Pottoffice Department lo do is not to persecute men who are rendering a local public service for less money than the Postomce charges but to reduce its own charges for local delivery until it gets the business I he Cjov ernment can do this business cheaper than any private person because it must maintain its carrier service for mail from outside the city and the department ought in its own interest at well at that of the public to reduce its exorbitant charge for local delivery A GOOD PROPOSITION The toil in and around Jamaica has a poor Underpinning There has been a subsidence of a part of rVJorant Cays thirty three miles from that island land in

to the City Hall This it entirely distinct from the ordinary precinct regis trsUonfor which booths are opened usually for a couple of days jutt preceding an election The booths si we understand it will be located without much regard to precincts or districts but at points where observation shows that large numbers of people pass each day A few minutes will then be sufficient for registration instead of ihe hour or two which would be lost by going to the City Hall It is very desirable that the whole electorate shall be registered and that not merely in time for the general election but in time for the primary And there it no question that the establishment of these registration booths will increase registration even with the annoyance of a horde of verification depu ties which will doubtless surround each booth beseeching the newly registered to sign the petition of tome candidate of whom he may have never before heard in his life and whose name he will forget before the ink of his signature it dry This petition business it one of the unthought of plagues of the direct primary for it certain that a great many electors are delaying registration until the dosed season for verification deputies begins in order to avoid solicitation for signatures in support of candi dates whom they know nothing about But with its annoyances the direct primary bring civic duties For nomination by responsible party conventions the direct primary has substituted nomination by cliques for it tt but seldom that there will be candidate lor a State office who can hope succeed without
