Price of Milk Scars Again

p liter complaint is made by the ST. Louis
- Republic because the residents of that
Missouri city are compelled to pay II cents
quart for milk. "a higher price," it says than
IN any city in the country, except Detroit"
Evidently the Republic had not been informed
of Richmonds milk figures. and surely it had
not learned of the increased prices which it
Is proposed to saddle upon local consumers
beginning Tomorrow else it would have
realized Just how well off ST. Louis was.
st. Louis pays IA cents quart for it's milk,
and it has casl-and-carry system from dis
tributlng deDotS whereby the price to the
consumer is brought down to II cents quart.
Richmond has been paying Ii cents a quart,
the same price over which st. Louis COM
plains, for its B-grade milk, and tomorrow
the price jumps to cents to cash custo
with an added penalty Of l cent quart to
all who buy on credit. Grade-A milk will
sell for 16 cents quart cash and Il cents
on credit. And still St. Louis means over
the injustice Of 14-cents-a-quart milk, and
an investigation of the high price is being
pushed vigorously.
Here in Richmond prices far overlapping
those Of St Louis have been posted, and the
people are expected humbly to submit. They
have been shown no figures in ptoof Of the
assertion that the increased prices are neces-
sary. Only the fiat statement has been made
by the distributors that they have decided to
raise the prices for the sole benefit of the
dairy farmers, and that their schedule
has been approved by the local food admin
lstrator. 1t must be assumed that the food
administrator has caused full investigation
to be made and has based his approval on
knowledge that the diaries cannot be main
tanned at the present prices Any other as
sumption would do violence to all ideas OF
Justice due from the administration to the
people. AT the same time, a statement cover
ing this point, the necessity that forces Rich
mond consumers to pay more for it's milk
than is charged in many other cities, would be
welcome.
The st. Louis arrangement, made with the
approval OF its food administration. whereby
consumers can buy for cash and carry home
their milk from the dairies and other dis
tributon ccnters between certain morning
and evening hours, at n saving of cents a
quart, contains hint to the local food adj
ministration, for the system might work we'll
here to the benefit of many hundreds Of cti-
zens who can i'll afford to meet the advanced
price of milk delivered to their homes.

ONGRESS deserves to be commended for
- the good sense it evinccd in enacting the
man-power bill without undue delay and sub
stantially in the form recommended by the
War Department. Amendments added to the
bill in either house which connicted with the
plan of the provost acknowledgement were
eliminated in conference, and the bill goes to
the President without any of these handica ps.
Recognizing its urgency war measure,
Congressman readily surrendered their fixed
convictions regarding certain provisions in
the bill to the superior judgment OF the War
Department
The pending revenue bill is also war
measure. The need for its speedy enactment
is no less urgent. Yet it still is in the COM
mittee stage The committee and the Treas
ury department apparently in hopeless
disagreement over the questions OF a lower
rate for earned incomes than for uncarned
incomes derived from investments and the
excess profits tax. The committee refuses to
yield to the judgment OF Treasury tax cx-
pert3 rs to the value OF the opposing plans
for raising the revenue needed to carry on
the war. This continued delay with the bill
is now openly threatening the success of the
next Liberty loan, the campaign for which
will be launched September 2S. Indeed
some Congressman are deliberately proposing
to sacrifice the success OF the loan by delay
ing action on the bill until after the Novem-
terests Of the country is outrageous. 1t
stands out in marked contrast to the COM
mendable action of both houses in speeding
up the passage of the man-power bill.
If the Liberty loan campaign is to be
success, the people must know how much
taxes they will have to pay to the govern
ment before they can figure out how much in
come they will have left to invest in bonds
They are ready to subscribe for these bonds
in proportion to their ability to pay for them
Until the tax question is settled, both big and
little business will remain at to what
proportion OF their income be set aside
for investment i'll the bonds. To leave that
question undetermined aside from the rela-
tive effect of the two plans of taxation on the
business Of the country, is to jcopardize seri-
ously the success OF the loan. in the opinion
OF best-nformed financial authorities. The
country should voice its indignation at any
further needless delay in putting the bill on
the statute books.
