Chairman Federal Trade Commis

Chairman Federal Trade Commits
sion
For several years tho Federal
Trade Commission, under the pow
ers granted to Il by Congress 10 pre-
vent unfair methods Of competition.
has had Investigators following up
the many complaints that have come
in from farmers. laborers and other
investors. who have lost their saw
ings through investments In wildcat
schemes.
It has succeeded In putting a stop
20 the nefarious practices OF several
OF these impostcrs. In one case the
commission found that a company or
ganized ostensibly for the manufac-
ture Of automobiles. with an authoriz-
edcapital stock Of $1,000. 900, has sold
stock TO the amount OF S4.723.S11 10
$4,000 stockholders. or this sum
nearly S1.2OO.O0O was paid to sales
men as commission. over $3.50. 600
was retained by the promoter. and
S5OO.O 600 went for advertising and
other purposes.
The commission finds. however.
that frequently its order to cease
does not issue until some overt prac-
tice has occurred.
Those desiring 10 evade the order
put on a campaign under high pies
sure. which results In complete sale
OF the stocks or securities foated
before the commission can comply
with the procedure as provided by
law.
Federal legislation. therefore.
seems highly desirable In order ef-
fectively to protect our investing
public against INSCRIPTIONS enter
prises whose annual harvest OF our
peoples savings has been estimated
at upwards Of a half billion dollars.
In view OF conditions. legal
authorities now recognize the in
eputude Of the old common Law
maxim Of "lct the buyer beware. "
as principle OF general applicable
ity. Indeed. IL has to some extent
been supplanted by the civil law
rule OF "let the seller bewarei"
This reversal OF public opinion "a
reflected. for example, I'm the enact
ment OF recent pure food and drur
laws and regulations for tho inspec.
tion Of meat.
, In these cases legislators hav,
recognized the necessity OF protect
ing the public health against evil
which are all the more dangeroui
: because they are predicatod on tn,
a helplessness and ignorance OF the
! individual under conditions which
are beyond his own control.

consumer, the housewife who doe
her own shopping. the thousand
) who purchase through the mails
I the millions OF buyers general.
! throughout the land. who are 'ul
and against H." and who seek relic
from conditions that prove burden
some TO the individual and injuriou
TO the public welfare.
What is bad for the consumer
bad for business, and what is ba
for business is bad for the country
n This is a fundamental economi
" truth.
