Some Startling Prices.

From the New York Post.
The most awful example of profiteering
that has yet come to light was exposed
in the. Senate by Senator Capper in behalf
of the Kansas farmer. He had previously
published his exposure in the Topeka
Capital:
1t takes four and a half bushels of
wheat to make a barrel of flour. The
wheat raiser gets about $S.31 for the
wheat, the miller $l2.70, the baker
SIS. 10, and the city hotel keeper $5S7.
According to an estimate made by Mr..
Hoover when he was food administrator,
the average barrel of flour makes 215 one
e..o.nd leaves of bread To arrive at Sena-
tor Capper's figures, we would have to
suppose the bakers selling pound loaves
1t about q cents a loaf. To arrive at his
further figure of s5S7 for the greedy hotel
keeper we should have to imagine hotels
disposing of bread at $2.1O the loaf. So
frightful are these figures that the aver
,ge consumer will blink at them incredu-
iOuSly.
