An Economic Affront

ble for these prices. They are 20
ing to have a committee appointed
to investigate the reasons for these
high costs.
The cost of clothing bought this
fall promises to be higher than it
ever was before. A good many
people took advantage of the enter
prise of the merchants who adver
tised price reductions through the
late spring and summer. But many
did not have the forethought for
this, and many Others did not have
the ready money. These now face
a heavy tax for the renewal of their
supplies.
The clothing manufacturers will
say that they have had to pay
double prices for wool and cotton
and double wages to their help, so
that necessarily their prices have
doubled This statement may be
correct. but it will bear careful ex-
animation.
There is tendency in a time of
flush and free circulation of money
for producers to think they can
tack on extra prices without any,
one noticing it. In so far as manu-
facturers aud wholesalers may have
done this, they will fiud themselves
in bad with the public.
One great cause of high clothing
prices is the insistence of the pub.

slightly out of style. he must add a
large sum to the original prices of
his goods in order to cover losses

clothing will be much cheaper.

Men Who Come Back

Missouri land reminds me that a
very high percentage of farmers /
have known who moved to other
states have come back to- Missouri
with depleted purses and eager to
buy back at an increased price.
There's been considerable specula-
tive buying, as Neighbor Brinkley
pointed out last month, and recall
three cases where the original own
er paid $1,000 and upward to get
his farm back. But perhaps the
lesson was worth the price.
Not every man who goes away,
however, comes back like the pro-
verbal pup. Some of them have
prospered as they probably never
would have here For instance,
there's my old friend, Dave Bailey,
who left for Idaho ten years ago.
taking along a wife, dozen sturdy
children. and about cash enough to
buy grub along the way. Dave
came back on a visit recently, rid
ing in a Nash g" driven by one of
his stalwart soldier sons and with
money in his jeans. He acquired
cheap land, had sufficient help to
grow aud market several thousand
bushels of wheat each year, aud
now in his old age can take it easy
and follow his favorite pastime of
talking, politics In the old home
neighborhood his sous would newt
ably have become simply hired

quire land that even then was high

Packers and Cars


be owned by the railroads or by the
packers-a point to be determined
by legislation now pending in
Washington-may seem to be a
question rather remote from the
interests of the average person. But
inasmuch as these ice boxes on
Wheels" as one of the packers
terms them, are the conveyances
which bring our beefsteak to town,
we may assume tha: we have a
certain corncern about them. II
they have anything to do with the
price of the beefsteak our concern
is deep one
Ii is maintained by some that
these cars give the packers who
now own them an unfair advantage e
over competitors. This is stoutly
denied by the packers, who offer as
proof the fact that they pay the
same freight rates as any shipper;
and they assert that the only ad
vantage they enjoy is in being able
TO- get enough cars for their needs
by furnishing them themselves in
stead of depending upon the rail.
roads to do so. In this they are
backed up by report of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, made
after an investigation of all private
ly owned cars, to the effect that
there were no unfair practices and
that radical change would ad-
versely affect both shippers and the
public.
While not opposing, in principle,
railroad ownership of refrigerator
cars, the packers maintain that
there are not enough of these\ cars
to 60 around and that the legisla-
tion in question makes no pro Wis
ION for insuring that the railroads
shall furnish them in sufficient
number. On the other hand, to pool
their cars and take chances of get
ting what happened to be available,
would seriously handicap the distri-
button of their perishable meat
products. The stream of shipments
from the packing plants would be
blocked, which in turn would block
the buying of live stock. and the
industry, which is founded on a
basis of rapid distribution, would be
badly muddled.
ln these contentious pro and con,
there are three parties whose inter.
ests are at stake-the packers, their
competitors and the public. Only
one of these parties could gain a
possible advantage if the packers
cars wese taken away from them,
viz. the packers competitors. The
cars are now admittedly handled on
an economic and efficient basis and
no change is justified unless Unfair
ness is definitely and absolutely
proved-which would be in abso-
lutte contradiction to the report
that the Interstate Commerce Com
merce has already rendered on the
subject. The public would pay the
bill for inefficiency in the packing
industry, and it has no desire to
pay this bill in order to help a few
