KINO OEORQE ht otven prc tlcal support to th prlca cutting movement In England by refuting to renew any contract fort goods or tervlcet at preient price. The king ha notified teller of bread, flour, toap, candle and coal, which are (upplled to Buckingham Palace under contract renewal very three month1, that he will not continue to do builnei with the tame firm unlet they orant a 10 per cent reduction In price. The tame decision affect laundry work, the king having demanded a reduction In the charge for wash. Ing the linen of the member of the royal household. in the mercantile world is the evidence of unanimity, nation wide, and on both sides of the sea, of the conclusion of the people, statesmen, commoners ,nd thek humble citizens, that . it is neither just nor righttoJmake people pay the old prices that "wete, current during the war for merchandise, f o o d and the various articles of home- making. What we hoped for in committing ourselves to a new scale of low prices and to measures insistent that no purchases should be made of people who advanced prices at first hands for the Fall of 1920 has come to be true, and down under the sea, in the darkness of Saturday night, the great King of Great Britain sent out a note, which we have verified and copied word for word. King George, jVYith His Good Common Sense, feels for his people and speaks to them the way the people of America are now feeling, that they are entitled to a new. deal, and that they would rather do without goods than to pay more for them from this time on. We are not disposed to be oppressors of anybody. The manufacturers have had their day, and the people must now have their day. Of course, prices can only be reduced little by little, but we must assuredly take a strong stand against the raising of prices in any direction. There may be failure of crops, and for want of labor, a smaller crop of potatoes, corn or flax, or a shortage of certain classes of wool or leather, but these must be the exceptions and not the rule. Prices Have Got to Come Down and we have all got to try tp help the people to get a reasonable deal. It is but fair to say that when we began the patriotic movement of twenty per cent deduction we thought that we might stop it in ten days, but the people were so gratified that we could not shut them off. In ending this program on Saturday night we do it with a sense of having done a great duty, as it appeared to us. More than this, it must be said, that we were encouraged by the grateful spirit that hundreds of thousands of people showed, that they felt we were with them in the effort to prove, not only to our city, but to- the whole country, as it appears, take notice, that the new day has dawned for legitimate business to organize against the speculators and the spoils manufacturers, who when goods were scarce were able to put any prices on them that they wished. Be it understood that we shall still "keep store and it shall be better than it ever was, if it is within our power to make it so. We, open at 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning and close at 5.
