INVESTIGATING
FLOUR AND SUGAR
H. c. L. Con mission Sends Out
Bulletin Covering Price Condi-
tions In Two Staples

The High Cost of Living Com
mission, which was named by the
Governor, to look into high
prices, is sending out bulletins in
regard to prices of foodstuffs
Most of its Investigations are
dealing with prices in Louisville
but it wants the people of the
state to know what it is dong,
and requests the press to give
publicity. The latest bulletin
deals with sugar and flour, two
necessary staples. The Commits
sion says:
The High Cost Living Com
mission is still receiving a great
many complaints about the high
price of sugar. The price of sug-
ar in the city of Louisville ranges
all the way from lie to 2Sc per
pound. The dealers who sell the
high price sugar claim that the
wholesaler cannot or will not fur
nish Eastern sugar and that they
are charging from lSc to zoe per
pound wholesale, for the Louisi-
ana sugar. We cannot under
stand why they can't ct Eastern
sugar at Eastern prices in this
district. A great many of the
complainants seem to feel that
there is a Justification somewhere
and that the scarcity of sugar as
heretofore suggested SO artificial
ly was for the purpose of selling
the high price sugar this market,
therefore the Commission has
started an investigation which
will reach from Louisville to
Washington and will report the
result to the people of Louisville
through the press as it develops.
We note an erroneous statement.
has been circulated with refer
enc to the Sugar Board. The
Sugar Board still has juridiction
over sugar and sugar prices and
we are going to request that said
board take up the Louisville situ-
alton and use our best endeavors
to get Eastern sugar into this
if the wholesaler can be
induced to handle it. We do not
believe that it is impossible to get
Eastern sugar that can be sold at
the usual sugar profit, for l2c q
pound therefore we are in hopes
of being able to fix a price at not
more than l2c within the near flu
ture.
1t is only fair to state that the
retailers, we find from our inves-
tigation, are not always prof.
tcering in sugar and other staples
but are obliged to pay, in many
case, these exorbitant prices TO
the jobber, and that the jobber in
some instances in turn are not
proftcering but likewise have to
pay cxorbitant prices to the pro-
Queer making it necessary that
the correction of the present con
dition will have to take place at
the source of production making
It exceedingly difficult for this
Commission as they are most al
ways outside of our juridiction
