A basis that would reduce the slue of the house membership would be welcomed by many, but such a rrult is not probable for the very people who are Interested in maintaining the numerical strength are tho oncii who make the derision. Yet it follows that the increase in the membership of the house cannot be continued indefinitely. If we continue to grow in population a limit will be reached. Ton larjre a legislative body cannot do its work so well an a smaller one. la a multitude of counsellors there is wisdom, is an old swing, but it is Just as true ihat in a multitude of counsellors there is confusljn. The states that already have the largsr delcjentious are the ones that would profit the most by basing representation on the present standard. They too, are th ones that would object tiie least to a slight reduction in the total membership for even with that, their numbers of representatives -would net bo dimin

ished necessarily. It is the states that hive made lit- j

THE OTHER, EXTBEME. Thd peop'.e of tho fntted States must bear a large share of the blame for what ranw to be known as pyramiding tf prices. w; lch h-ut tUe cost of living to R "point entirely out of proportion to the law of supply und dernacd. The excesses in buying were called "nri orgy of send!ng.'" Another thing, perhaps cn U3 injurious In its effect as the recklessness with wblch so many persons spent their m.ney afLer the .armistice lifted the strain of war. is seen in the disposition of the people to engage in what Is virtually a buyers' strike. Retail merchants who stocked tip with what they believed would meet the demands of trade find that irany lines of goods am not. selling, especially seasonable articles, ar.d thev are forced to make large reductions ia order toave a much as possible from their investments. It should not be forgotten that practically ail the present stocks of clothing, footwear and other essential commodities have been created under the highest costs ever known, and these stocks were manufactured, of necessity, some mouths before the time they were expected to be. used. The public feels that it haw a right to buy the necessaries of life at lower prices, but nothing Is to be gained ultimately if looses are impose i upon dealers perhaps ruin to many by tie tendency of the public to fly from an extreme of reckless spending to one of refusal to buy. The public tannot shift the blame for high prices from it.-elf by attempting to place It on' the dealers. Congress should give industry and business whatever relief possible from the burden? placed upon them by th" war. in order that they in turu may be able to rftitr a service to tie public through lower prices, riayir.g f.;; and loose with business, as the public is inclined to do. will work great injury to tradesmen ,'nd eventually become harmful to yie buyers themselves, through the creation of uncertainty in the relations between seller and con.-umes.

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM. The fixing of a basis for concessional representation under the recent census will present perplexities. Should the numerical standard be not materially changed the membership would be materially increased and the present house is so large that it i agreed it is unv-ieldly. Should a ratio that would maintain the present membership be established some states would lose representation. No state wants to have a )es3 number of member? than it had before. Each member whose chances of leturn won! 1 be hanhazarded by n induction in a state's delegation would bitterly oppose ;'tiv such arrangement.

SPURNING A MILLION. It is hard enough to get a million dollars- ever? bod knows. How hard, then. Is it, having been, born in 'usury's lap. and inherited the million, to turn, it down ? That is what Chnrlea Garland, a young Massachusetts tnan. lias don, lie has turned from wealth to the career of an auto mechanic, after announcing with dramatic youthful enthusiasm that be intends living his life on a Christian baeln. "I did uotbiugr to esm the money, it is more than any man needs. It might

do poor people a lot of gcod, instead of accumulating i to no purpose." That ie his statement. 1 The first and obvious comment on such an act is i

that the young man has probably not realtssd the op portuuity to "do poor people a lot of good'' whtrh he has Just paaiod up. But he has announced himself as an Individualist, end has avoided the responsibilities ihat.llmt particular million dollars involved. He has not avoided responsibility, however. It is hl duty now to prove that he can be a better citizen poor than rich, and that his loss really has been the gain of the community.
