There are signs thai the people are becommng in earnest in the maiter, says the Woodstock Scaiinel Review in commenting upon the resolution passed by the Kitchener Council. The attempt to silence public demands for relief, it says, by explarations of the law of supply and demand, will not carry the Government very far or save it very long. In spite of the law, of supply and demand the fact reâ€" mains that in every other country in the world engazged in the preseni war, and in some which areâ€"not yet active: ly engaged. somcthing is being done for the control of prices so as to keep them within bounds as far as pos sible. . Even in Can2da, where the law of supply ond demand is invoked as an excuse for doing nothing, there is notheughtâ€"of«allowing such â€"a Jaw to freely operate. The whole effect, if not the purpose, of a protective tarif is to prevent the free operation of the law of supply and demand. Even to day, when potatoes are becoming â€" a luxury, the Government . collects _ a specific duty of twenty cents, and in addition an ad velorem duty of 7% per cent. on every bushel imported inâ€" to the country. _ The sale of such a wholesome and nccessary food as oleâ€" omargarine is totally forhidden. At every turn the Government is sceking to interfere with the law of supply and demana. Serman, in all branches. Ia response to a resolution ~passed by the Twinâ€"City Trades & Laber Council the City Council at its last meciing adopted a r~solution in favor oi petitioning the Pominion Governâ€" ment to take control of all whea: and flour in the country and to regulate prices of all staple food articles, so as to keep down the cost of living. The demand for some measure of Government control is spreading, and perhaps when it becomes sufficiently strong the Cabinct at Ottawa will sit up and take some aciion. It is genâ€" erally the caso that when the people show that they 2re in earnest they ean have what they want. _ But the people will have to show that they are in earnest before the Borden Cabinet at Ottawa will take heed.

The small loaf, 12 ounces, has been increased from 6 to 7 cents per ‘loaf. Only a few weeks ago the price of this small loaf was raised from 5 to 6 cents per loaf.
