MANY MIDDLEMEN
CAUSE Of PRICES
Produce Passes Through Too
Many Hands, Says In.
vestigator.

stated recently that he had just I'm
ished months work as member OF
q senate committee Investigating the
high cost Of living and that the thing
that particularly impressed him as be-
ing the main cause Of high prices was
the great number of profit-takers
between producers and consumers.
Among these he mentions brokers,
commission men, dealers, agents, sales
men, wholesalers and retailers.
TOO many profit-takers have as
much to do with making necessities
cost like luxuries as too many prof
iteers," said Senator Capper. I'VE
have in the United States today" he
added, thousands and thousands Of
men passing things on from producer
to consumer, whose services are no
more needed than the fifth wheel Of q
wagon"
This senatorial Investigator found
that the process of multiplying these
unnecessary middlemen has been going
on for years. The census, he reports,
shows that the increase Of these para
sites has been enormous. Producers
and consumers foot the bill.
Formerly manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers were sufficient to bridge
the gap between producers and con.
sumers. Among other middlemen who
have sandwiched themselves in and
are living of both producers and con-
sumers is numerous and growing
army Of brokers. An example is cited
concerning rise in the price of hay in
1913. It was found upon investigation
that SO many middlemen of various
kinds had fastened themselves on the
hay trade that they were obliged to
raise the price of handling in order to
make the profits go round.
Fruit used to rise about SO per cent
In price in going from producer to con.
sumer, because 1t then passed through
such few hands. IT NOW RISES 400
PER CENT IN PASSING FROM PRO.
DUCER TO CONSUMER MAINLY
BECAUSE IT PASSES THROUGH SO
MANY HANDS. This doubling the
price twice is done by cutting the price
to the farmer who raises the fruit
down to the bone and raising the price
to the consumer to the highest point
possible.
Senator Capper has hit upon great
truth. While profiteering is a gigantic
evil, the multiplication of non-produc.
ing mfddlemen has just as much to dc
with high prices. It is q more subtle
and insiduOus evil and will he harder
to deal with. We might stop profiteer.
ing by having the state or government
fix prices, If we had honest enough
officials to enforce such regulation
but 1t will require a change of our in.
dustrfal and marketing system to get
rid Of the ever-growing and devouring
army of Unnecessary, non-producing
middlemen. That can be done only by
following out the League and Labor
program Of public or cooperative in
dustry and marketing.

STATE PREPARES
TO own MINES
stieation Progressing in
Coal Fields, Says Dean
Babcock.
(F,y Dean e. j. Babcock, University Of
North DakOta)

NOTIu OUkOtuI
In view of the serious fuel situation
nj the country at the present time. the.
people Of North Dakota are looking.
very earnestly to the great Ignite de-
posts of our own state for relief, and
are more than ever interested In all
that is being done to assist in the de-
velopment Of these great fuel re-
sources which are thus far but slightly
utilized.
Something is known Of thesvast de-
posts Of Ignite which are found WITH
in the State of North Dakota but 1t is
surprising how little the immense
value of these deposits Is appreciated.
There is very large area in the west
ern part Of the state, some on private
and some on state lands. which is.
underlaid with quite thick beds Of lig-
mite coal. North Dakota has one Of
the largest coal areas of the states Of
the Union, probably $1,000 square
miles and capable of producing, it Is
estimated, over 600 billion tons, enough
IL properly developed and used to sup
ply the fuel needs of North Dakota
and adjoining states for many genera
lions.
Although the area and magnitude Of
these great Ignite deposits is known,
no provision has heretofore been
made for the survey and exact location
of these deposits, with reference to
their protection, or the feasibility Of
their development.
The last legislature made a small
appropriation for the present biennial
period to start the field work and in
vestigationss along these lines. This
work was placed Jointly in the hands
of the Geological Survey and the
School of Mines to cooperate in the
investigations. AS soon as the appro-
priations were available, after the
first of July, plans were adopted and
the field work was Immediately begun
and carried on until it was necessary
to stop the survey in the fall. The
work will be resumed again as soon
as the weather will permit in the
spring and will be pressed vigorously
forward.
On account of the size of the coal
area to be covered aud the numerous
technical and practical problems to be
investigated, it will, Of course, require
a long time to complete such a survey.
but number of the most important
regions will be taken up in the field
work and Investigations to be carried
on during this biennial period, and it
is expected that it will result in giving
definite and important information as
to the location and value Of coal de-
posits in many districts, the desirable
ity Of their conservation, or the prac-
ticability Of their economic develop
ment.
This is very important work and will
have large economic bearing upon
the state. and its future Industrial de-
velopment, and it is especially fortu-
nate, under the present conditions,
that provision has been made to begin
an economic survey looking toward
the better development of these great
resources Of the state.

Strike Threatened in Cuba
Against Exorbitant Rents
fBy Associated Press)


HAVANA. March 18.-This city IL
threatened with one of the most uni
que strikes ever called. Unlike the
usual strike, the movement will not be
for shorter hours or higher wages
Thousands Of persons In every walk
of life. who are occupants OF rented
houses and rooms, may strike
against their being literally locked
out" OF their homes by property own
ers who are charging exorbitant and
illegal rents.
Rent in Havana during the last two
years has increased about so percent,
and In some cases is reported to have
more than doubled, especially in the
poorer quarters.
According to the law q property
owner must file with the city authori-
ties sworn statement OF the cost OF
construction Of any building owned or
erected by him, from which figures
not only the taxes to be collected, but
the rent which may legally be charged,
are fixed. The property owners hav-
ing greatly increased rents, but with
out correspondingly augmented their
tax payments, the renting public is
loudly protesting and there is being
formed an organization which has for
its object the calling of strike by
renters to force the reduction of rates
to something like normal.
If the strike Is really called those
taking part will not actually refuse to
Day rent whatsoever, but will decline
to pay more than the municipal re-
cords call for.

work in connection with forming an
organization of this kind is shown
