KAUFMAN TELLS OF
FOOD SITUATION

Following an exhaustive study of
food manufacture and distribution
made by the Joint Commission OF
Agricultural Inquiry. and which
commission has issued a statement
of the result of the study, David ].
Kaufman, president of Potts &
Kaufman, Inc, wholesale grocers
and -four merchants, this city, made
the following statement in connec-
tion with the report:
"All this talk about the high cost
of middlemen and the need to elimi-
nate us wholesale grocers-all the
claims that competitive schemes
were going to put the regular gro
Ger out of business-do not appear
to be borne out in the final returns"
THE report of the Congressional
Joint Commission of Agricultural
Inquiry, which represents the gov
ernment's conclusions after the most
elaborate inquiry into the thigh
cost of living" ever undertaken; an
inquiry which had every advantage
of trade cooperation and free ex-
animation of books and accounts.
show that an even smaller toll is
paid the "middleman" than had been
suspected even by many grocers
themselves"
The most valuable part Of the
report Is that which aims to dis
cover who is responsible for the
spread between producers and
consumers prices. Of course. the
commission found innumerable rea-
sons for 1t, but chiefly due to the
growth Of public necessity, i'm
provement in public taste. demand
for service and convenience and
the immensely intricate develop
ment of system necessary to meet
the completely of modern life.
The wholesale grocer did not
even make a profit in 1921 out OF
the dollar the retailer paid him,
but a loss of .48 of a cent. The year
before he lost even more LA
cents-and in the preceding five
years his profit was respectively
only 2.55 cents in 1918. 200 cents in
1915, 1872 cents in 1917, .32 Of a
cent in 1918. SO of a cen in 1919
Yet his service as buying agent,
assembler, warehouseman and finan
cial hacker for the retailer was OF
incalculable public value.
But what's the use of going fur
Their. 1t all comes back to me as
I read this report of Uncle Sans
investigators. We grocers know il
but no one would believe us. We
were biased. witnesses. But it's
mighty satisfactory to be indicated
by Uncle Sam, after all these years
of loose accusation.
I'm not afraid Of the wholesale
grocer being eliminated. The pub
lie can't get along without him. You
buy as an average family about $500
a year. If he costs you ten or
twelve dollars a year which he does
MT according to these hgure-it's
the best money you ever spent"

%AssembIyman Pascoe Being
Grooned for Leadership in
House of Assembly

TRENTON, Oct. 5-Union county
is going to make a strong bid for
the Republican floor leadership in
the next House of Assembly. The
candidate will be Assemblyman
Herbert ]. Pascoe of Elizabeth who
is now completing his first year as a
representative from that county
The subject was one discussed in
formally among the Union County
Republicans when here on Tuesday
for the state convention and the
boom then quietly launched for
Pascoe a well received.
The fact that Assemblyman
Philip D. Elliot of Essex, who was
in line, by reason of his longer ex-
perience. for the position of G.. o,
p. spokesman was defeated in the
recent Republican primaries, has
eliminated him from consideration,
and brings Pascoe and several 9TH
ers to the forefront in considering
this matter. Other names heard
include that of Assemb1yman Cliff
ford Powell of Burlington. John Y,
Dater of Bergen and Joseph Corio
of Atlantic. The latter, however,
is understood not to be a candidate
for the place.
Union county believes it is enti-
tied to the place, providing its Re-
publican delegation - including
Pascoe-is elected in November.
The G. o. P. leaders there claim
that it is Unions turn, since the
county and middle Jersey has not
had the leadership since 1918 when
Arthur Pierson was the floor whip
of the Republicans. Last session
North Jersey had the honor,
through Assemblyman Evans OF
Passaic and the year before South
Jersey held the post with T. Harry
Rowland, of Camden, the encum.
bent.
Union also believes that IL Will
liam N. Runyon is chosen governor
next month it would be a very fit
ting thing to have a man from his
home county to lead his party in
the assembly and thus be sure OF
proper consideration for the sdmin-
istration's program Of legislation
Mr.. Runyon himself was G. g. P,
House leader in 1915, the first year
he was a member of the legislature.
Pascoe will be backed by the
Union delegation If elected, on the
ground that in the last session he
demonstrated his ability to debate
and properly present the Republi-
can viewpoint on the floor in parti-
san discussions with the Democrats
and they point to his legislative
experience in both the assembly and
Elizabeth city council as proper pre-
liminary training for post OF leader
