Now it is being suggested thai the
government put one of its useless and
idle bureaus to investigating the cost
of the high price of shoes. But what
is the use? The government has been
investigating the causes of the high
price of first one thing. then another,
for the past year. and has not brought
down the price of a thing. On the
other hand, the general trend of prices
has been upward, particularly of the
commodities with which Uncle Sans
young men have meddIed. The way
to bring down the price of shoes is to
stop buying the high priced kind.
There are shoes on the market that
can be bought much below $f6~ or
even s12. If the people will buy less
expensive grades. manufacturers will
stop making the others and make
more Of the low priced kind with the
result that these will drop still lower.
I.eclslcss spenders largely are respon-
s.ble for high prices.
