are those of moderate size, and that Il Is
is so even in lines where large concerns

The purpose of the Bureau OF COR
porations is to study patiently into the
historical facts, financial facts. econo-
nomic facts, facts of human welfare
and human productiveness, facts con-
cerning equipment. handling. storing.

order that we may know whether tdese
bulky things that we have so much
feared are in an economic sense real
giants in strength or whether they are
but images with feet of clay. 1t is of
the utmost Importance that the laws
which govern these things should be
made known, for without knowledge of
those laws legislation may be vain. 1t
is a common truth that economic laws
are stronger that statute laws. There
can be no objection. therefore, on the
part of anyone, whatever his views of
industry, toward a study which snail,
determine the truth, which truth If it
be indeed the truth, must itself de-
termine in the final ana'vsis the course
which the legislature and the execu-

matters.

1T is important that We should know
the truth about the fixing of retail
prices and as to whether giving the
privilege of so fixing the prices of 4
manufacturer tends toward monopoly
or does not so tend Men who are sim
cere and well informed do moi think
alike on this problem, but whatever
their views it will be agreed that no
thorough study has ever been made of
the subject in this country. Nations
abroad are said to favor by law that
which we forbid The law with us is
for the time fixed by the decision of
the Supreme Court that the fixing of
retail prices on the part of the manu-
facturers is unlawful. If, however,
new legislation should in the future be
required, it is important that the truth
be known lest injustice be done, not so
much to the manufa. .turere as to the
consumer. Some men, Well informed,
argue that the fixing of retail prices
under conditions where competition in
manufacture exists tends to promote
competition. Others say that the re-
fusal to permit the fixing of retail
cut-throat competition certain to follow
obviously the stronger competitor will
survive, and may eventually hlve the
business in his own hands. for tie law
forbids the making Of agreements to
maintain prices, and under these cir
cumstances the weakest must GO to the
wall. Such being the views EXPRESSED
by thoughtful men on matter in which
every consumer is interested because
he must needs buy such articles, it Is
important that the subject should re-
ceive thoughtful study, and this the
