WIDE SPREAD BETWEEN
seg
PRODUCER, CONSUMER

e. l.. French. director of agricul-
ture for the state of Washington, has
been giving thought to the wide
spread between the prices which the
farmers receive for their products
and the price which the city consum-
ers pay. His conclusion, published
In the November number of the
monthly news letter of the Washing
ton department of agriculture, are in
close accord with the conclusions
which we have set forth in these col
umns from time to time, says the Ida
no Farmer.
The reason for much the greater
part of the wide spread can be sum-
med up in sentence-high wages
all along the line between the farmer
and the consumer, and the COSTLY
standards of service required by the
consumer under our present-day sys-
tenn of carrying on industry and bus
mess.
Or, as Director French puts it.
High cost of distribution, high cost
OF labor, high cost of service and too
many retailers"
The fact can not be successfully |
controverted, as Mr.. French puts it,
that "the complaint of the highly paid
city mechanic over the high cost of
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1923-12-19

price it commands in city wher,
the flour was milled from whea
grown within distance of 200 miles
His comment on that condition is
mot SO much high-priced service
is the answer"
| Mr.. French concludes that the
public demands service, rapid, con-
venient and accessible, and it has tc
pay for 1t. In substance that is
practically all that there is to the
enormous spread between the prices
which the city consumer pays The
remedy, if there is to be any, lies
| wholly in the hands of the city con-
sumner But there is not the faintest
probability on earth that he will ap-
ply it. He likes the present system He
can afford it, and the cost of food is
not one of the major items in his
family expenses. He will not exert
himself by doing any of the service
for which he now pays"
1t is easy for labor agitators to go
around telling the farmer that it is
an outrage for him to get only 80
cents or 85 cents bushel for his
wheat when the city worker has to
pay 10 cents for pound loaf of
bread, when the farmer is getting
AS matter of fact, it is not much
OF riddle, after all. Director
French has pointed out the answer
High cost of labor is at the bottom of
1T all. 1t costs more to operate a
warehouse, it costs more to transport
the wheat on the railroads; it costs
more to mill the grain into flour; it
costs more to deliver the flour from
the mill to the baker; it costs the
baker more to convert the flour into
loaves; it costs him more to distrib-
ute the baked loaves to the stores; it
costs the stores more to deliver the
bread to the consumers.
Then, high taxes are another fac
tor. The warehouseman, the rail-
road, the miller, the baker, the store
keeper, have to charge a little more
all along the line in order to pay
their taxes.
1t is either ignorance or hvDocrisy
when the city consumers shout about
the need of cutting out the middle
men. These city consumers, as Mr..
French truly says, are the ones who
could cut out most of these middle
men If only they would do it,
What is true of flour would be
true of most other farm products. |
Probably most of the city workers
have automobiles of their own, and |
with little effort they could go di- |
rect to the producer for their pota-
toes, garden produce, fruit and many
other food products.
The cold truth is that it is the
farmer who is getting the worst of
this modern economic arrangement; |
it is not the city consumers, who are
complaining about the
high cost of living.
