ENORMOUS WAR MATERIAL PROFITS.

''The war price for smokeless powder is around one dollar a
pound, !" declares Merle Crowel in the American Magazine; 'the
producing price is vaiously estimated between forty cents and sixty
cents a pound" &
The Dupont people are said also to count their profits by the
millions, the common stock having gone from 1929 a share to $3.50
1t recently cut a 'melon' valued at ifty-eght millions.
Other manufacturers of war materials are reported also to be
1eaping immense profits.
And it is not particularly because the public objects to reason
able, or even unreasonably large, profits, that the demand for a
change of Uncle Sans policy has arisen. II is because in the using
of war materials the common people are thegreatest sufferers; there
fore, all private profit should be eliminated from the manufacture of
war materials.
The Saturday News does not register a protest against profits
indeed, without profits no business enterprise can flourish. We be-
|Geve in profits. We believe that manufacturers and merchants are
entitled to reasonable profits.
But it is safe to say that if the profit arising out of the manufac-
|ture of war materials were eliminated the demand for this vast pre-
which we have been reading about within the past few
weeks would have pe~rceptibly waned.
The great Navy League which, under the tutelage of such
a $ Morgan and the du Points, has been clamoring for preparation
upon a tremendous scale, would not be troubling itself about prepar-
.edness if there were no private profit in the making Of war materials
Cut out this private profit. If we must prepare for war, let the
people themselves get the benefit of the profit.
Unless some unforeseen circumstance intervenes, Uncle Sam will
expend a few billions in the, next few years In preparing for war
If we cut out the private profit we can make that preparation fully
as effective with very much smaller sum of money, or we can almost
double our preparation with the same sum.
No private concern should be privileged to reap profit from the,
wholesale slaughter of human beings. 4

THE FARMER THIRTY-F1vE PER CENT.

Newspaper dispatches, reporting a convention of southern grow
ers At Charleston, S. c., quote statistics to the effect that for every
one pain ny the ultimate consumer for farm products the farmer
gets put about thirty-fvc cents. In other words, for a specified year
OF recent production the farmers received nine billion dollars where
as pe consumer paid twenty-scvcn billions.
Tanners and others have long known that our system Of distri-
bnas. as q problem demanding Il searching investigation. Notwith-
standng the well known difficulties to be overcome, its solution does
not seen to Ne within sigh.
Bat if we will consider for IL moment one Of the features of mod
era ssne-fe we viii at once perceive a clement Of cost that did
not enter into Living a generation or so ago.
lac Sood housewife of the days of our grandmothers laid in

VI course, the consumer pays for this service, which enters into

pays 1T is only a part of the cost of the difference, perhaps q very
lnagzalcant part, but q part, all the same.
aAe principle applies all along the line of middlemen. The
hoEss which buys the farmers products in trainload lots sells in ear
load tots, and the carload lot buyer cuts his purchases up into par
GELS snd passes them along until they reach the retailer. In the
mesntffne the various profits added tosthe original cost have already
1aore than doubled the price received by the farmer-and still the
goods have not reached the ultimate consumer.
We who live in a region where large towns are the exception do
not realize, perhaps, the conditions surrounding the dealers and the
cGnsrHners In the cities, and since so large a portion of our total popu-
latien is confined within the limits Of municipalities the cost of get
ting ue goods from the farmer to the consumer is greater than the
cost af prediction, figuring in the profits of the gobetweens.
