1t used to be thought that there

that It was necessary to restrict pro-
duction so as to make more work. But
that Is an exploded theory, 1t has
been demonstrated over and over that
the world is full of opportunity. The
more work done the greater the gen
eral wealth of the community and the
more work there Is to do. A higher
level OF production will keep wages
from falling with other prices. 1t de-

wha Gets the Money?

It is a simple matter relatively to
say who pays the money in the mat
ter Of loodstuffs but is a considerably
more complex matter to say who gets
it. Many investigators have been ac.
tive among this line in an effort to
find the leak" in the distribution
system that causes such wide
spread" between the price received
by the farmer and the price paid by
the consumer. The latest investiga-
tor, b. +. Yoakum, chairman OF the
board OF directors of the St Louis and

some interesting figures which the
New Haven Times-Leader reprints
