Replies to Subscriber about $48
81 Wood.

Editor Leon Reporter: ..
q In the Dec. 25th issue of your
paper l read with interest the fol-
lowing article:
called s4s per per cord CO for FOR wood. % w The
two sides of this question should be
kept in view all the time. Had the
man who sold that load of woou
hired man with team for which he
must pay the high price demanded
per day, sent him out six or seven
miles to cut the wood, how much
gone himself, his time is gust as
valuable to him as the other fell
loW's.) High cost of labor and not
just the wood, sets the price. You
see it would not pay tor a pair of
good shoes.
Why is it so high? Supply and de-
mand, the same as with lumber and
all other commodities, is the same
old answer. l have no wood to sell.
A Subscriber.
/ want to advise Mr.. A. Subscriber
to get himself some wood to sell.
He certainly did not figure it out or
he never would have written that
article. Figuring that one man will
chop four cords of wood ready for
the saw, in one day and that a
power saw will cut twenty cords of o
which are both very reasonable. i
wish Mr.. A Subscriber would be
kind enough to put on his specks,
get out his pencil and figure it out
with me. One man, working five
days or five men working one day
in the timber can very easily chop
twenty cords of wood. The power
wood complain, costs $50 per
hour or $1,000 per day. Now pay
the choppers $1,000 per day and
$4,000 for the saw and see what we
have.

That is pretty big price to pay
for getting out 20 cords of wood but
when you sell it at $4S.O0 per cord
it will net you $4,000 leaving

to keep the land. If l had been
such a liberal cuss and allowed such
big wages we might make enough
by working about two months to
take both of our families to Cal
ifornia to spend the winter where
we would not need any. wood. No,
Mr.. A Subscriber, yours is the wrong
answer. Supply and demand had
nothing to do with it. One man
told me--"Oh, we'll, you can get
wood and you can't get coal" He
was an honest man. He knew that
a man will keep his wife and babies
from freezing if he has to steal to
do it and he had nerve enough to do
it. l want to know if supply and
demand was the cause. of two or
three of our citizens paying. $11:OO
for one of those mammoth 1-6 of
cord loads of wood which figured
cents per stick of stove wood. And
the man who hauled it refused to
pay 1925 for double bitted ak:
All this happened while DR.. Garfield
was trying to keep down, the price
of coal which would have been much
cheaper and better at $4,000 ptr ton.
