Those Small Economies.

Considered alone, the various
small economies which the President
and Congress have been making can
not be said to be very important. The
War Department cuts off the custom
OF giving officers about TO retire a
long vacation on full pay and SO saves
a few thousand dollars. The Senate
closes its luxurious baths and dis
charges the attendants. That saves
"a few thousand more. The Presi-
dent declines the use Of the Mayflower
rs his official yacht, saving another
sum which is only trifle when con-
sidered in comparison with the abiI-
ity OF this country to pay its bills.
Nevertheless, these small acts Of
economy are big in their significance.
They mean that consciences are at
work in Washington. They mean
that the easy-going tolerance Of small
inroads upon the treasury is at an
end and that the same keen sense Of
what is right and wrong ID public ex.

that the transportation companies are
not getting an undue share for their
services, but that the producer and
consumer have become SO far apart
that whole family of middlemen
have stepped in and claimed their
"pound of flesh" In other words, it
costs nearly seven times as much to
distribute the farm products after
they leave the freight house as it
costs to transport them to the market
town which are often hundreds and
sometimes thousands of miles distant
from the farm where they are pro-
duced.
Now this trouble is chronic and
! wide spread and undoubtedly con-
tributes to the high cost of living
about which everybody complains to a
greater extent than any other one
cause. There would seem to be only
one possible means of solution and
this is for the producer and the con-
sumner to get closer together, and this
in turn can only be accomplished
through cooperation. II this could
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-02-15

be accomplished the farmer would get
more money for his product and the
consumer would pay less. The con-
sumner would get his product fresher
from the hands of the producer and
in many cases this would mean an
improvement in quality.
This cooperation can be worked
out in variety of ways. The estab
lishment of market squares or market
houses in the town would help
measurably. The organization Of
cooperative shipping associations
through which the farmers could send
their products to the city where they
could be marketed by their own agent
would be another help. The estab-
lishment of grange stores or cooper
alive stores or a similar basis, and
even the creation of cooperative
laundries, bakeries, factories and
slaughter houses might be within
the possibilities where circumstances
favored. In any event, the develop
ment of the cooperative idea would
have the effect Of reducing the number
of middlemen and every such reduc-
ton would bring the producer and
consumer closer together for their
mutual profit.

THE CONSUMERS DOLLAR.

Some time ago when the agitation
of the question of the high cost of
living was yet new in the daily papers
an effort was made to lay the blame
upon the farmer because he was then
receiving more for his products then
he had ever done before in the coun-
try. These newspaper young men
probably knew as much more about
city pavements theatre parties and
midnight suppers than they did about
any economic question, but their
agitation was partly responsible at
least for an investigation which was
made by the Department Of Agricul-
ture at Washington and a report of
which has recently been made.
This investigation was made in 7o
cities in all Parts of the country and
the following table shows the division
of the consumers dollar between the
farmer, who produces the article, the
transportation company which carries
these articles to market and the dis
tributers or 'middle-men' who handle
them between the depot platform and
the consumers home:

man not long ago, and the next day
the youth who drove the team for the
new man put the piece of ice on the
dumb waiter in the basement to be
hoisted up.
She pulled away.

After much effort, she got the dumb
waiter up to the kitchen level. To
her amazement there was small boy
sitting upon the ice.
With what little breath she had left
she demanded, "What in the world
did you make me pull you up here
