Stratton and Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier are jointly putting out a single Illinois highway map. The 1954 map, just off the press, is now ready for distribution. About $10,000 in printing charges and an additional sum in distribution costs are saved by issuing a single map to take the place of the two which for many years had been put out annually by the Department of Public Works and the Secretary of State. Free copies of the 1954 map may be obtained from the Secretary of State's office or tihe state Division of Highways. Need A Rubber Stamp T Get it at the FlalndeaJar. Farmers' Outlook Price Level Fori Past Year Steady1 Most prices have been remarkably steady during the past twelve months* Recent averages show changes of l per cent or less fiom one year ago. We may hope -- but it Is not likely that prices^jwiH show the same stability during the year ahead. The index of wholesale prices of all commodities in early May was up l per cent from that of one year before. The average of prices paid by farmers in April was up less than 1 per cent, while the average -of prices received was4 down leas than one ppt" cent. i. » Government policies. This price stability of the past year was, In part at least, the result of government policies and programs. Early 1953 was a period of full ^production and strong demand. For a time it appeared that demands would exceed supplies of available goods and set off a new wave of inflation. Government policy then was to restrict expansion and prevent inflation. Later, demands for goods diminished and markets turned soft. Government policy then was changed to prevent deflation. Credit was made more readily available, and taxes were reduced in order to add to the purchasing power of business firms and individuals. Government price support for farm products also tended to stabilize prices. Prices of wheat, cotton, and dairy products especially were sustained by government loan and purchase programs. « Less Stability.

However, it deems unlikely that the years ahead will bring stability equal to that of the past year. There are at jtast three reasons for expecting tno:»' price change in future years: Fust, history shows constantly changing price levels, especially in iccent times. Second, the tools available for maintaining price stability are not well enough perfected to hold prices on a perfectly level course. Third, attempts to attain other national goals, such as full employment, may bring some changes in the price leveJ. Government policies and programs are effective in establishing price levels. During wartime, increases in government credit and spending boost prices. At the end of World War II, gov. ernnient policy aimed at preventing deflation was overdone, causing prices to go up instead of flown.-. May ask too' much. Recently there has been much agitation for the government to "do something" to increase employment and raise prices of farm products. Perhaps some such action is needed, but there is a real danger that it may be too much and too early. Certainly it would be a very dangerous policy for the government to try to pfovide every worker with the kind of job he wants and to support prices of farm products at levels satisfactory to every producer. On the other hand, Congress has the constitutional responsibility to provide an adequate supply of money and credit and to regulate its value (stabilize the price level). Bath Congress and the president recognize their responsibilities in economic stabilization. They cannot, however, meet these responsibilities properly if we demand too much from them NATALITY STATISTICS . * Heart disease, retailing its grim distinction as th\ chief cause of death was responsible for7 40,424 fatalities in Illinois last year, according to provisional^ statistics released bv the Departmdiit of Public HeiHJh. „ As in previous years, cancer was in second place Among causes of mortality with 14,947 deaths, while vascular lesions affecting the central nervous system ranked third with 10,065 deaths.
