sPMCE TOO HIGH"

IGNORANCE OF the law OF diminishing returns is largely
responsible for high prices and much business pow
erty, not only Delaware but also in the other States
The operation of this law illustrated simply the
other day by W. H. Carman secretary Of the Cleveland
Barbers' Union, who said:
BARRIERS making more money back in 1902 10 4v4o
when they getting dime for shave and two-bits
for haircut than they're making now"
Barber prices are at point where the law OF diminish
ing returns is operatngthey keeping patrons out OF
barber shops
Men have just reduced their patronage Of barber
shops in proportion TO the increase in prices and many
Delaware BARRIERS suffering in consequence.
Say instance that barber formerly waited upon Is
customers day. which at pre-war prices would average
70 cents EACH or en.25 day.
barber usually works a straight commission Of 60
per cent, which in this netted him s675 day.
Barber prices 50 to 100 cent higher than in
1914 Say the barber gets average OF 81 from
customer But since high prices have reduced his bus-
ness he waits only instead Of is customers day.
Thus the BARRIERS gross business is 50 day. with net
return himself Of 500 at high price, in place Of S675
at the old low prices.
In other words the law Of diminishing returns has re-
duced his income 81 80 a day.
The employer the barber shop owner, is worse Off
under the present high prices For his overhead-rent
heat light, etc,-goes just the same whether one OF
his BARRIERS waits on nine or IS customers.
Ut is the law OF diminishing returns applying to both
the employer and the employe in trade
The same principle applies to all business and all ht-
man service-drom candies TO street railways.
The law Of diminishing returns begins to apply when
price restricts the purchase.
The returns diminished by reducing the volume Of
business-reducing the aggregate Of small profits.
Selling goods at the lowest possible price above cost Is
absolutely in the selfish interest Of both the manufacturer
and the merchant--and certainly the public

TAXES UPON TRANSPORTATION.

~ way rates in Delaware and elsewhere should be

Age suggests consistency requires that those who take
this view should rst demand elimination OF the federal

1920 and the present rates it estimates that the annual
tax freight and passenger transportation collected by
The federal government will be s26s,OOOOOo.
The tax freight says the Railway Age is per cent
