WHEN THE BOYS RETURN.

The interests and the press that
are counting on returned soldiers as
an asset for the reactionary cause in
America after the war are going to
have the surprise of their lives. The
magnificent morale of the American
fighting men is due to their convic-
tion that they are fighting for a cause
than which none could be more right
eous.
We have assured them through
the statements of our president,
through the propaganda of our gov
eminent and through the press that
they are fighting to make the world
safe for democracy-for justice for
all peoples.
When these soldiers get back, what
is going to be their attitude towards
the interests forces and the press in
America that have sought to belle
Americas righteous war aims and
have attempted to use the war to
make profits, to crush liberal tenden-
cies among the people, to put indus
trial despotism more firmly in the
saddle and to defeat the extension of
democracy at home?
Will they cast their lot with polit-
zeal groups that have tried to make
out that the spirit which has moved
our fighters is a pretense, or will
they cast their lot with the liberal
political group that have supported
the president in his economic pro-
gram and in his definition of Amer
ica's war aims?
There can be but one answer to
these questions. The returned SOL
diers will be liberals, not conserva-
tives or reactionaries.- Non Partisan

DO PUBLIC MARKETS FURNISH
DISTRIBUTION?

The term Public Markets" as it
is commonly used, applies to NUM-
cipally owned marketing places in
towns and cities, where producers
and consumers of farm products may
meet and effect direct sales to the
other. During recent years consider
able attention has been given to the
question of establishing such markets
in the more populous centers of the
state of Washington. This interest
is the result of two circumstances.
They are first, the rapid increase in
living costs, and second, the proper
tionately large per cent of such costs
that go to the expense of distribu-
ton.
1t is rather commonly believed
that direct selling from pro ducer to
consumer will eliminate the charges
of the middleman, and thus increase
the profits of the farmer on the one
hand. and on the other, lower prices
which the consumer will pay for
food. This, in fact, is largely the
idea back of the public markets
movement.
Because of the wide spread inter-
est in the question of public markets
as system of distribution, the Of
fee of Farm Markets in cooperation
with the United States Bureau of
NJ II, otc hos r,odo on ovh ouotivo Sur.
vey of these markets in this state.
The study was made for the purpose
Of ascertaining what the public mar
kets have accomplished in affording
Ia profitable outlet to the farmer for
his produce, and in reducing the cost
of living to the consumer.
Many interesting facts were
brought to light by this study. For
instance, it was found that the pro-
ducers on the markets sold for prac-
tically the same prices as those
charged by the retailer, and that the
inducement to the consumer was in
the form of a larger assortment of
fresher goods, rather than lower
prices. 1t was also learned that the
amount of the average sales of in
dividual vendors on the largest pub
lie market in the state was slightly
over SIS for each day on the mar
ket. The average expenses of these
same vendors were $1.76 per day.
which expenses did not include the
value of the vendors time.
The public markets which had been
established in the state, and had
failed were taken into consideration.
The experience of the successful
markets together with the experience
Iof the unsuccessful ones furnished
the Office of Farm Markets with
basis for marketing recommendations
as to certain requirements necessary
to the success of public markets.
The whole of this information is
carefully analysed in a bulletin en-
titled THE Public Markets in the
State of Washington" This bulletin
may be had for the asking by writing
the Office of Farm Markets. Pullman,
Washington.
