Our Legislators will surely see to it that.

Speaking OF Profits

THE Federal Trade Commission has is
sued another of its Illuminating ad
dresses to the American people on the sub
ject OF the packing house industry. This
report deals with profits, and it cannot fail
to interest the folks who are commonly
classed as consumers and have observed
with increasing anxiety the constant in
crease in the price OF meat products dur
ing the past five or six years. There have
been occasional reactions, it is true, when
the beefstcak has seemed to slump in cost,
but the fixed tendency has been upward.
Also it will interest those folks who have
read the packers statement to the effect
that they made such-andsuch a per cent
on each pound of beef or mutton handled,
4 sum usually so ininitessimal as to prompt
the guilcloss to apologize to the packer
for ever suspecting him OF profiteering. The
commission finds that regardless Of the
skillful calculations OF the packing house
economists. profits of amazing totals have
been made and business enormous in its
proportions has grown up almost entirely
out OF earnings put back into it after gem
erous dividends had been declared.
II is shown, for example. that 500, 900, 900
was added TO the surplus accounts of the
Big Five" out of the earnings made dur
ing the first three years of the war Our
Ing these years profits, both in dollars and
in rate on investment. doubled trcbled and
Quadrnpled,' the report adds.
In respect to profits announced by tho
packers OF to cents on the dollar OF
sales, it is pointed out. such Il rate on sales
in an industry like meat packing which
rapidly turns over its product. is the eGuiva-
lent of high rate or return net worth
OF ID per cent or more. During the fiscal
year 1918 the packers sold $4,000 OO. 900
worth OF goods and 2 to cents profit
on each dollar OF that volume of business
is quite considerable
The packers continue to plead with the
public 10 LAY Off" 10 persuade Congress to
| give them chance to 20 ahead without
just one investigation after another, but
il is not easy TO grant that appeal when
the business III which they are engaged
seems so pointcdly unfair agains, the con-
