State of Ba ——— — social Co-operation, Philadelphia. — That the constant- ly growing standard of living among Americans.s partly responsible for the present high cost of living, and that in social co-operation lies the remedy, Is the opinion of Prof. Simon Nelson Patten, of the Wharton School of Fi. nance and Economics of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania. “The subject is one of many rami. fieations,”” sald Professor Patten, “and the reasons tor existing con- ditions are manifold. Society has got itself in the complication, but not far enough to know what it is going to do, or to resolve upon an means of adjusting prices to fit all] purses, | “There is no doubt that the combi. | nations controlling food and other commodities make the high prices | They are but taking advantage of | patural conditions, and reaping the | grofit that could be disseminated among the consumers if they could bring themslves to act as a unit | Prosperity has wrought great changes | in the mode of living in America, and | shrewd business men have taken ad. | vantage of these changes Their combination to handle products in| large quantities has not resulted in evil entirely to the peonle, although | some classes have been less benefited than others."
