High Price OF Shoes
Not Justified, Says
Il. s. Commission

Washington, Aug. 14.-The federal
trade commission has found that the
high price of shoes can not be JUS
titled by underlying economic condi-
tions. The commission after exhaus-
tive inquiry into the price of hides,
leather and shoes is reporting to Con-
gress. that the larger packers control
the hide supply and have taken ex.
cessive profits and passed increased
costs to subsequent steps in manu-
facture and distribution; that the
tanner has taken exceptional profits;
that the manufacturer of shoes has
taken unusual margins and that the
prices charged by the retailer are
not justifiable, each factor in the in
dustry adding to the burden he had
to bear before he passed it on to the
next.
The summary of the commissions
report is as follows:
This report treats of conditions in
the leather tanning industry includ-
ing the hide and the boot and shoe
industry, including the merchandising
Of shoes. The period covered by the
inquiry is from 1914, inclusive, ex.
cept in regard to certain financial
data. The outstanding facts estab-
lished by the inquiry are as follows

country hides and packers hides in
creased beyond the usual proportion.
due to the more marked increase in
the price of packer hides.
Q. Though there was an increase
in the cost of hides to the tanner
the prices of his product-leather-
advanced to a point that could not
be justified by the cost of producing
1t. This conclusion is supported by
the high rates of return on invest :.
ment received by tanners.
8, The most Of manufacturing shoes
increased greatly between 1914 and
1917, but, as evidenced by the high
rates of return on investment, not to
an extent that warranted the prices
; at which manufacturers sold their
product.
4. The absolute margins of profit
taken by retail shoe merchants per
rair of shoes increased because their
rate Of profit remained substantially
without change.
5. AS result the public had to
pay prices for shoes that could not
be justified not only because retail
shoe dealers took too much profit but
because the dealers had to pass on
to the consumer the excessive profits
received by butchers for hides and
also the excess profits of tanners and
shoe manufacturers.

The Y. M. C. A. in Bad

We are continually hearing
stories of the mismanagement
and failures of the Y. M. c. A.
Some of these stories would
seem to indicate that the organi-
cation was a failure when it
come to being of assistance
to the men in the service. But
while we have heard many sto-
ries, we are yet to see the man
who puts up a serious charge
against this organization from
his own personal knowledge.
The Y. M. C. A. was support
ed by the people at home and
the people at home have right
to know exactly what was done
and what was not done. For
that reason we wish to publish
from the returned men setting
forth the facts as they really eX-
listed. Now, if you had occasion
to come up against the Y. M. G..
A. and were not rightly treated,
we want your story, giving what
happened, and when and where.
If you were a soldier and do not
feel like writing out your story,
come to us and so state and we
shall be pleased to write it out
for you and publish it as your
testimony. But remember that
want only personal experiences,
we want only such accounts as
you are willing should go down
in history on your authority as
part of the real happenings Of
the war. What the other fellow
says is not evinence except wher
he tells it himself. Who will be
the first to volunteer a story?

The State Tax Commission
Raises Taxes in the Hills

The scheming politician who
tells you that Johnston is against
the tax commission because he
wants to save taxes for the Del
ia is simply trying to pull the
wool over your eyes. To see
that this is so, you simply h$ve
to remember that the present
governor of Mississippi went all
over the hills of north MISSISSIPPI
pi four years ago saying that he
was going to put into effect a tax
scheme that would save money
to the people of the hill counties
of Mississippi, and at the same
time put great burden of taxa
ton of the Delta. Today delta
lands were assessed at about $50
an acre. They are worth from
5000 to $500 per acre and are
bringing that price on the mar
ket. They have increased in
value in the past four years un-
til they are worth two or three
tines what they were worth
fur years ago. What has the
Yaz commission o.4e . the
Delra? A15olute aothj (, in
j .parisol 18th ~aat It has
Gone TO the h,ll coax les Of NORTH
Mississippi.
Why doesn't the Tax Comn...-
sion raise the assessed value of
lands in the Delta to where it
belongs? The answer is easy
it is because they haven't the
power to do it, and because some
of the Delta counties stood pat
and refused to make a raise or
dered by the Tax Commission in
the year 1916.
On the other hand, what has
the Tax Commission done to the
hill counties of north Mississip-
pi? In Lee County, which paid
into the state treasury $4,000 in
1915, the last year of Brewers
administration, the taxes were
raised until in 1918 it paid in q
little over $4,000. Is this g
Delta county, and did the pres.
ent governors tax scheme take
the load off the people of the
hills of Lee County? In 1915,
Monroe County paid in a little
less than $4,000; in 1918 it paiC
in 100000. It's taxes were rails
ed almost Is per cent. Is this
Delta county, and has the TAI
Commission helped this section
of the State?
In Prentis, county in 1915
$4,000 was paid into the stat'
treasury. in 1918 a little owe
$4,000 was paid in. Is Prentis

Delta county. and has the pres
ent governors tax scheme taken
anything off the hill counties of
Mississippi? In Clay County in
1915, a little less than $4,000 was
paid into the state treasury from
sources of taxation; in 1916 the
amount was $4,000. In Alcorn
County in 1915, a little over
$4,000 was paid into the state
treasury; in 1918 $4,000 was
paid into the state treasury.
Even in Benton County $1,000
more was paid in 1918 than in
1915. The same applies to TIA
wanda, to Pontotoc, and to Tip
pah Counties, and in Marshall
County $1,000 more was paid in
to the state treasure in 1918 than
was paid in 1915.
These figures prove conclusi-
vely that the present Tax Com
mission has raised the assessed
valuation Of property in the hills
of Mississippi to a much greater
extent in proportion to its actual
value than it has in the Delta,
and has placed upon the people
of the hills greater proportion
of the burden of state govern
ment than rightfully belongs to
them. Thus it is shown that the
argument of the enemies of
Oscar Johnston, who favors the
real ard absolute abolition of
the Tax Commission, is worth
less. MIR. Johnston boldly de-
clares that the Delta should pay
more in proportion to the value
of it's lands than what tits paying
, at present, but he frankly admits
that the present tax commission
is poWerless to make the Delta
pay any more than it is paying
at this time. The people of the
) hill counties of Mississippi have
been hurt more by the Tax Com
} mission than the Delta ever will
be hurt. The people of the Del
. ia can afford to pay a much lar
: ger proportion of the taxes of
the state than is now paid by
them, but the people of the hill
sections have been inflicted with
an unnecessary burden during
| the past four years. Johnston
: is the only candidate for govern
or who unqualifiedly favors the
repeal of the Tax Commission.
Russell is openly for the tax
commission and the Laurel
: Leader says that governors Lon
: gino, when in that section of
| Mississippi, stated that he was
in favor of retention of the
present tax system. In his
speeches in the hill counties of
: Mississippi he does not mention
the Tax Commission. Where
: does he stand on this PROPOSE

| hill counties of north Mississippi
