Has anybody noticed a fall in the cost of living since the dissolution of the socalled "packer trust"? 0 * 0 Senator Borah might turn his at tention to the extravagance of govern ment bureaus in Washington as well as the presidential campaign man agers, Speaking of trusts it may be of in terest to readers of newspapers to know 'hat spalper can be bought from representatives of the trusts at retail cheaper than jobbing houses can buy it from independent lm ills at. wholesale. There is anywhere of from three to six tiper iouIlid difference between trust .pilces and indlependet prices, the explanation being made by paper jobbers that the federal trade' commis sion keeps its thumb on time trusts and allows the Independents to charge Avhat they please. While we do not believe In price fixing, we think it but right to fix prices for small and lar,:e alike. There is mmchi to be said on bothi, sides of the question as to t h- 'proposed bonus to ex-service men of a $50 bond for each month of service spent in the war. 'Many of the soldiers went tIo .war at a considerable financial sac riflice, though this is not t rue as to all of them. All of them made sacri flees of other kinds greater in proportion than the financial sacriflee while a good 1ma1ny .PeoiPle, not all, may have profIt ed (luring the war as never before. But, the soldiers did not go to war for financial reasons. If they did the debt could not he reipaid. They had high erl and nobler thoughts than that of money. If they would look at the bonus proposition in the same light as they (11( the war itself, we believe that they would rise up to disapprove it. An additional .bond or mortgage placeI on the already heavily burdened tax payers wol ( seriou sly hamper the progress of the country and contribute 1o further 111settlement of business. In the long ru1n not only the nation but the soldiers themselves wouhd suf fel' from its cOnsequ einces. 0 * 0 CIilCKMlNS vs. GARDMNS..
