A WAR PLAN WITH LASTING
BENEFITS

Realizing the impracticabilitv of fixing
prices on other than a few of the most i'm
p"rtant staples, Mr.. Hoover has hit upon
a plan for protecting the consumer that is
simplicity itself.
These of the big ;obbers and wholesalers
who might be disposed TO initiate prices will
be comparatively easy to restrain but it
would be next to impossible to regulate
through the available organization the
many thousands OF retailers who supply
foodstuffs to the consumer
Mr.. FIoovers plan is to promote an ex-
tenslve publicity campaign which will
tam1llar1zc the general public with the
wholesale prices and III, legitimate margin
81 profit on the various commodities With
the consumer thus misunderstanding
Just how much he should pay for each pur-
crasc-there is little possibility that he will
be gouged through an excessive differen-
t1al between wholesale and retail selling
prices.
The proposed campaign, if thorough and
properly conducted will have lasting ben
ejlts which will extend far beyond the
period OF the war, as it will familarize the
consumer with the science of modern rner-
chandlslng. 1t will show WHY standardized
package goods, branded and protected. are
actually cheaper than bulk goods sold at 4
lower price; it will explain the difference
between merchants gross profit and net
profit, and will demonstrate to what extent
delivery and c:''<r service charges effect
retail selling prices.
The plan has great possibilities in the
way of bringing about better understand
ing and closer harmony between the seller
and the buyer and at the same time it will
prevent prices from leapn2 upwards Just
because Everything is higher these days"

HARD SURFACE ROAD SEEMS
ASSURED

The action of the county commissioners
in authorizing an election for formation OF
4 special tax district for paving the road
between Bayou Chico and Bayou Grandc,
insure realization of a hope to which
Pensacola has held tenaciouslv for many
years. The Importance of hard surfaclng
the road has long been recognized, but
never before has it seemed possible to con-
vince the tax payers that the benefits to be
derived would more than offset the eN-
pense, making it sound public investment.
No opposition to the project has deve!-
oped, and the bond election seems certain
to carry ma jority so overwhelming as to
be almost unanimous
Details of the election and the bond
issue, as we'll as approval of the route, re-
main to be worked out, but present no I'M
usual problems.
The location of the road will be decided
By tull consideration Of the advantages OF
both the proposed route and the one now
III use.
Should the new bayshore route be finally
adopted it is proposed to maintain the
present rNpd in first-class condition.
The government will construct the
bridge across Bayou Grande and a concrete
road on the reservation, and the Bayou
Chico bridge was provided for in time
warrants authorized by the last legislature,
giving a modern, lasting roadway from
Pensacola, through the aeronautic station
to Fort Barrancas and supplying one of
Pnesacola's greatest needs.
The commissioners are right in insisting
that the election be conducted a least pos
sible expense, and the suggestion that pub
lie spirited citizens volunteer to serve as
clerks and inspectors without pay is one
that will meet with hearty response.
Each of the commissioners is to be com
mended for the interest manifested in this
project as are the members of the COM
mittees that have conducted the prelimin-
airy negotiations which made possible ad-
vancement of the plans to their present
d6nite shape.
The election should be held without de
lay so that the benefits of the road may be
enjoyed at the earliest possible time

followed with those who, having regis
tered, did not answer to the call. United
States district attorneys have been in
structed to spare no effort in locating the
men, and severe penalties will fall upon
those who prove to be deliberate slackers.
Particularly drastic will be the treatment
of those who gave fictitious addresses when
registering. Such action is to be construed
rs conclusive proof of intent to avoid SER
vice, and the full machinery of the govern
ment will be placed in operation to run the
offenders down. When apprehended they
will be sunlmarily dealt with
1t is difficult to comprehend tie mental
process that will prompt a man to risk the
death penalty in futile attempt to evade
his legal and moral duty, and it is fitting
that the punishment should be sufficiently
severe to deter others from like course
The government is in earnest in its de
termination to round up every Stacker, and
the fate of those who wilfulv fail to report
IS not pleasant to contemplate.
