TO LEARN COST OF CARRIAGE.
Secretary Redfeld Orders Census of
Some Representative Town.

Pointing out that carriage and haul
ing is a very big expense, larger than
is commonly supposed. in the cost Of
dnstribution of goods, Secretary Red
field today instructed Director Rogers
OF the census Office to take a census in
some town to obtain cost figure. Some
representative town will be taken, but
1t is not known where it will be.
Some surprising results will be
shown. in the opinion of the Secretary.
Tor people do not realize what a big
item the cost of carriage figures up in
the hnal cost Of products. There al
ways is much talk of the high cost of
freishts. but nothing is said about the
cost OF hauling, whereas it is higher
proportionately than the cost Of freight.
For instance. he said. it will cost more
10 denver peck of potatoes from the
corner grocery to the home than it cost
to bring the same product 500 miles
from the point of origin.
