TEMPORA MTJTANTOR ET NOB MUTAMUR IN ILLtS. (The times aro changing, and w» with them.) The Evolution of Economics. IT doesn't require a professor of economic?; to give the reason why. Prior to the war the Dominion's man-pow*r was about 300,000. Oat of this 11-2,500. the flower of the land, enlisted; 17,000 have paid the supreme sacrifice, and about 20.000 permanently incapacitated, and the recent epidemic adds anothor 5,000, making thertot il 42,0(10 ; and, with no immigration, we will tor a year or so. And does not this also apply to the whole of the Empire ? • During the second vear ot the war. production of man's r<viuirerr.ents w.>s reduced materially! and our armies and munition workers bad adopted a I ,gner standard of living, and twice as much used in the shape • f clothing, loots. ..ieat, butter, cheese, etc., etc.. which thousands upfiu thousands unfortunately ware never accustomed to prior lo tli* war, and at the time tho prices of those commodities were not a burden to tho soldier and the munition workers as in th« first instance the soldier didn't pay for them, and the munition workers didn't feel them owing to the enormous wages paid. Now the war bis ceased the soldier is seeking employment and the munition worker's wau'es. for argument sake are down to about :'.'> per cent over pre-war rales, with his requirements about 50 to 00 per cent higher, ow'iiik to the world's shortage and with a desire to live at the same status as during the war. The Emnire's wheels of industry (with a tire 1 people) are at a reduced speed for the want of raw material, and the products of the land are about two years behind, and until they get back to norm-*!, and vmh huge shortages as at present, the pinch will be felt The workers rightly demand a higher standard of living, which creates a heaver demand on production, and until it is overtaken, with the Continent on tho verge of starvation, how can prices recede. If they do, wages must also, in a line with Japan and other Easturn countries. This is a comnlex question. Profits are now taxed 7s fid in the £. For instance, an industrial concern with a working onpital of £IOO,OOO, paying 7 per cent., yielding £7,000, is taxed 7s (id in the £, which brings its earning power down to about 4 l 2 percent. Who would bo worried about industry when War Bonds are paying \ l £ per cent., free from taxation? This is the question to be considered for the salvation of the Dominion. Champion wishes his people to understand that this essay is not for advertising purposes, but t) guide his c*ndidat*s, as be is an acknowledged authority on economics as well as muscle-raising.
