openly taunted him.
'I could show you a bushel basket

Ingle used a pocket knife. Ship

might have some merit, It would fail to
reduce the high cost of living, due to the
real trouble When one considers the al
most terrific competition existing in all
retail branches. he can understand that the
retail merchant has but little to do with
the price at which he sells his goods All
raw materials are very much higher than
formerly, some being almost four times
what they were, and this is not because of
any state legislation. One should not lose
his head in the presumption that the cure
of all ills Is to legislate. Any state enact
ment concerning prOfifeering will not regu-
late the price of raw materials produced
In this or any other state. In other words
no state law Will ever displace the general
law that The laborer is worthy of his hire
nor viii any state law displace the natural
law of Supply and Demand.
Financial authorities and men con-
versant wit hsuch matters, whose express
sions have knowledge Of concede that the
country is due for some sort of a business
reaction; that 1t is coming; that it cannot

icye 1t is, the public in spite of any legis-

i'll be glad 70 get it over. This profiteering
nd anti -profiteering propaganda is an cpl
emic that will run its course and those
familiar with modern merchandising re-
altze that there is no legislative cure. These
legislative cures are 'quack' remedies en-
icavoring 20 change natural laws. While
the retail merchant Is not responsible in
any way for the high cost of his goods, yet
he is the only man that the general public
can get 1t. Attempted legislation of the
character furthered by yourself, if you will
pardon me, in the opinion of the writer is
but applying a proposed remedy to the
wrong patient
The writer feels that the merchants of
the state are in favor of the program as
outlined by Governor Allen, because he is
endeavoring to deal with certain funda-
mentals which are wa to the citizens of
Kansas. and We believe that as the chief
executive of our commonwealth he de-
serves the backing of those inte3'sted in
the welfare of the stan as a whole The
merchants of the state are honest and
patriotic and they will be glad to back you
up as attorney general of Kansas when
your legislative program is fundamentally
correct"

rnent of a. l.. Oliger. secretary of the
Kansas Retailers association, in a let
ter TO Hopkins concerning the attor-
ney generals action in giving public
ity to a letter which Oliger recently
addressed to members of his orSaniZa-
tion.
OHGer charges that the Hopkins bill
is another piece Of freak legislation"
and that Hopkins's publicity policy is
political bunc." no relief from high
prices can come thru passage of the
bill by the Kansas legislature. it is de-
clared, when the merchants them
selves are helpless from high prices
of commodities produced in other
states. Oliger asserts that the mer-
chants are favorable to any laws
which will relieve fundamental wrongs
and will earnestly support Governor
Aliens program. The Hopkins-Oliger
controversy arose when the attorney
general mailed to every legislative
member extracts from Oliger's letter
to retailers which directed opposition
to the proposed i-profiteering law.
Oliger's Letter.
in a letter sent to Hopkins today,
Oliger said:
The writer is sorry to learn that you
misinterpreted his bulletin relative to your
proposed Drofiteering bill The bulletin
was not an admission that every retailer
Is a profiteer. 1t simply conveyed the thought
that your proposed bill Is another piece of
freak legislation that will do more harm
than good. Furthermore your action in
taking n private piece of mail and sending
copies of it to the public press for publi-
cation simply convinces the intelligent citi-
zen of the state that your entire campaign
in this connection is nothing but political
bunc.'

British commercial missions, unher-

That the British manufacturer is

method by which he has taken advan-
