dollars less than they would bring

secret sale at an inadequate prize was
fraud upon the taxpayers of Pine

between the member or members of
the board and Gunter & Sawyer for
the sale of said bonds is unauthorized
by law and void; that said board of

if they have entered into any such

FABRIC SUBSTITUTES.

Clothing manufacturers and shoe dealers indicate that
higher prices must be paid for apparel by next fall The
National Association of Cloters has been greatly con-
cerned the shortage in dyes and the restriction OF
imported cloths 1t that the clothing business
adverse has led to another untifrom the
manufacturers standpont-ony one OF two things may
be done increase prices decrease quality. &c. too with
the shoe people Confronted with the problem of dim
isng supply and increased demand the shoemakers have
for the last few years been adding few cents to prices
There prospect for further advance knowing this, the
shoe trade has been experimenting with substitutes
While the consumer always likes to flatter himself
that he is getting the genuine article he hates to pay
higher price than customary But he also hates to pay
the customary price for substitute unless some explain
alton is forthcoming Wages and materials have adj
vanced The clothing trade has chosen to supply cheaper
grades at the prevailing prices Thus ii man pays So
for his suit he will not get good quality as he did last
year when he paid equal amount Ii he wants to get
suit just good he will have to pay $2, and up to
what the trade calls the middle grades The latter will
fancy and cheap lines The shoe manufacturer cannot
keep on supplying cheaper grades of leather he
keep on increasing the price it is bad for the trade
Therefore the demand for substitute which not to be
sold leather, but simply composition OF fabrics
which, under certain conditions; should excel leather II
wearing quality.
Both trades have taken the public into their confidence
and have told what to expect 1t consequently Will not
ask for leather shoe and receive substitutes nor will
So suit be sold just good the one OF last year
This is trade honesty It has about, apparently,
without either the pure fabric pure leather
bills which proposed several years ago. The public s
principal objection to substitute to cheaper grade

soil product from wheat to cotton.
The financial, industrial. commercial
and labor situations likewise shape
the demand that responds to any COM
modify. Universal supply and eco
nomic conditions reflect the possibili-
ties of demand, and the Natter is finally
governed by the bulge or wrinkle in
the public purse. Hence values at
shipping point may be unerringly de-
termined or undetermined by the pos
session or lack of knowledge of those
circumstances
Standardization Of knowledge.
These allied factors or crops and
supply and demand conditions viii be
decisively dealt with by the Fruit
Growers agency. 1t will receive or
clear all information relative to them,
and they will be standard for the mu-
tual benefit of ALL There will be no
occasion for the great range of ideas
in values that always prevail among
disconnected shippers. Granting equal
skill and experience in marketing
salesmanship, all members should be in
perfect accord with market conditions,
and the mandate of the uniform con-
tract to determine economic values will
in all logic be carried out.
Too Many Agents and Brokers.
Various other causes in previous
practices in northwest marketing rem
dered the latter hopeless possibilities
to satisfe ctory outcome. Maximum
distribution was undertaken by too few
shippers; too many shippers were con-
tent with minimum distribution with
least effort; too many brokers in too
I g.. q.
not enough markets. A multitude of
brokers in each market, each acting
for different shippers. without the con-
trolling guide of a centralized source
or uniform prices understanding, can
not avoid Generalization according to
the circumstances of supply. Each
| shipper is pitted against every other,
bargain prices carry the day and the
general situation suffers. A grab bag
of agents or brokers under such cir
cumstanees necessarily has it's prizes,
but it also hasits blanks. weakness,
inefficiency, poor judgment disregard
of supply and demand regulators, all
/ lead to trouble and the whole structure
of values goes in the air. There were
| undoubtedly many of the hundred and
/ sixty-one shippers of northwest apples
in 1915 who discovered the force of
these conditions.
Efficiency and Economy Demanded.
| Too many agents in each market de-
stroy the root of general efficiency and
economy. Boiled down representation
of recognized ability promotes both in
q score of ways. The value of joint
| agents to represent a group of dis
tricts or selling agencies is therefore
of unqaestioned benefit, and the uni
form contract of the Fruit Growers
agency calls for common recognition
of efficient factors and economical per-
Torrance. Expediency must be the
basis in the adoption of all members.
Concentration of the selling agencies
efforts in the markets will thus CO.
