Editor Means business.
If your subscription to The
Standard is paid in advance, as all;
newspaper subscriptions should
be, v<>u can skip this article, for it
may not interest you.
It is necessary, however, that
we have something on the follow
ing line to say in every issue of
The Standard thi month, for Dec.
1 will mark a radical change in the
business policy of this paper. It
is a change, by the way, which
ought not to he necessary, for the
policy to be adopted then is the
one which should really have been
in force from the beginning. The
high price of paper is compelling
us to do now what business
orudence should have made us
do all the time, and which would
have made us far better off
financially now. We have the
satisfaction of knowing, of course,
that we have been very accom
modating to very many people —
some of whom needed it and most
of whom have appreciated it.
Frankly, we have enjoyed doing
business on the old basis of “one
big family,” and would really like
to continue it, but under existing
conditions no paper can do so and
live.
Paper is now $1(50 a ton instead
of the $56 we paid a year ago.
Manv predict that it will go to
S2OO a ton, and be hard to get at
that.
This means, of course, that pa
pers have to increase
scription price, a o(l those weekly
papers that use any considerable
quantity of paper are raising their
prices from $1 to $1.50, or from
$1 50 to s2,*as the rase muv be.
In Florida papers have
been wise enpugh to raise a Lon eg
from $1 to $2, as tin-* Georgia pa
pers will be forced to do if paper
keeps fc-oing higher.
Those who have not made settle
me t by Dec. 1 may expect to
have their nam-.-s stricken from the
list and their accounts put out for
collection. We are offering every
possible inducement for the sub
sciber who wants to “tote fair” to
do so, and we certainly want to
gel lid of those “on th * h at.”
A man who tries to beat a news
paper is no belter than any other
kind of rascal, and the quicker
such a fellow is put on the black
list the better ii is for everybody.

European demand due to the
war and the shortage in Ameri
eanl crops unquestionably is re
sponsible for some of the increase
in the cost of living in this coun
try, says the Sparta Ihmielite. but
there »s ground for the suspicion
that much of it is due to misman
agement in distribution and to
price manipulations of middlemen
and speculators. President Wil
son gav ■ a hint of this in his
speech b fore the National Grange
at Washington the other day
when he said: ‘We ought to
raise such big crops that circum
st mce like the present can never
recur, when memcan make it ap
pear as if the supply was so short
that the middleman could charge
for it what he pleased.” Govern
ment officials have underway
searching investigations in to the
retail cost of coal, the high price
of wheat, milk, and print paper
and the railroad car shortage, and
we shall be disappointed if they
do not result in legislative action
that will prick Ihe bubble of ficti
tious values and bring the prices
of necessities down to figures jus
tified by the law of supply and de
maud.
