HEADACHE TO COME LATER
The old vicious circle of inflation
is with us again. Until people realize that high prices do not, in
themselves, insure prosperity the
inflationary tendency will alwys express itself in a period of good
business. The farmer in inflationary periods gets more for everything he buys. He is not much, if
anything ahead of the game. The
laborer gets more for his labor hat
rent costs keep right ap with his
increase of wages The business
man sails his merchandise for more
aad he pays more for everything
beside his big increase ia taxes,
Snd ends in the red. There are
going to be a lot of pains in' the
pocketbook when this war is over
sad the last depresssion will seem
like s pleasant joy ride compared
to what we wilt * likely go through
within s few years after the present war is over.
