QUESTIONS OF PROFIT
II the public could know just what
profits are being made by the farmers,
the retailers. the jobbers and the man
ufacturerS. it would be able to Judge
pretty accurately who is getting an
UNFAIR portion out of ttis nigh price
situation.
The attorney general has started an
II teresting lawsuit down in Kansas
City. 1t is intended to ascertain a few
facts about this question of profits. 1t
IS going to see whether the big pack
ing houses AMI commission concerns are
getting more than their share.
The contention is that the commas
sion and packing houses. all of whom
are big buyers of poultry, eggs and
butter, are making too much. The big
packing houses can't be blamed for
buying up eggs and chickens when the
market is low. and putting them in cold
storage until it is high. That is sin1p-
ly business. But when these concerns
operate 10 corner the market ana nave
what Is practically a monopoly, the
government should. have something to
say about the amount of profits which
the concern should take out of the
public
1t is reported that the Armour Pack
ing company paid 80 per cent on its
capital stock last year. Other packing
houses no doubt did as well. This is
more money than can be made in other
business on q fair and equitable basis
Profits of that size indicate that the
maker has somehow secured an inside
track on trade and generally thai
inside track is unlawful or at least
contrary tc public policy.-Salina Jour

and receding to a very great distance
from it at it's aphelion." It's to be
