pearing psohts.
The farmers of this country, and
the general public, would be much
better off if, instead of slsyrocketingl
farm prices and unexpected profits,
in the period l9l6-1ol9, followed By
inadequate profits, loss, and bank
ruptcy between 1920 and 1922, farm
prices had been more stable and
profits uniform at $50 or 1914
throughout the entire period.
The American consuming public
stands to gain, not to lose, by the
concurrence in every industry OF
stable prices and moderate profits.
To force industrial competitors into
price wars in order to prove the
reality of their competition, or in
order that they may be absolved
from the charge of illicit combina-,
ton, would be the height of eco1
nomic folly. . J

to yield producers approximately the
same prices at the respective points
of production. p,
Prices to purchasers of cement,
however, are likely to be substan-
| TALLY uniform and comparatively
stable. There are ample reasons
why, under competition, they should
be. First of all, cement is thor
oughly standardized or uniform, and
nobody charges that this standard
ization is the result of monopolistic
combinations. Terms of sale have
come to be similarly uniform. Price
quotations are mailed or telephoned
frequently to prospective customers,
and the prices quoted by one pro-
Queer are quickly communicated to
other producers.
There are no future dealings in
this industry. Under such circum-
stances, it is price diversity rather
than price uniformity which would
naturally arouse suspicion. Why
purchaser x should pay more than
purchaser Y for exactly the same
product, sold under exactly the, same
terms, is difficult to understand.
And how producer A could get more
than producer B under these con-
ditions, is equally difficult to explain.
According to the statistics of earn
ings, prices have not outrun costs
in such a way as to yield dazzling
or inordinate profits. Profits have
been fair, and producers have not
been driven to war by sharp pres

cement recently asked DR.. Henry
Parker Willis of Columbia, and Pro-
lessor John R. B. Byers of New

analysis of cement prices and the
economic processes by which they
are determined.
Perhaps the most important part
of this monograph is its keen analy-
sis of the causes and significance of
uniformity and stability" in cement
prices. Here, the first point to
be noted is that, to the producers
or sellers, there is no real uniform

quoted by different producers are
likely to be substantially the same
on any day, but these prices are

The producers absorb the freight

That means that if producer A
absorbs freight charge of 40 cents
per barrel, producer B one of so
cents, and c one of 80 cents, the
net mill prices received by producers
A, B, and c will vary, because of
freight charges alone, by 40, 50 and
30 cents. @Obviously, there is no

Private Doodle In
Hot Rebellion on
Taxation Enemies
CBy The Federated Press,

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Pri-
vate wealth in America has started
revolt of its own against contin-
ued sacrifices forced upon it during
war time. That is the meaning of
the demand for the Mellon tax plan
as explained in a booklet by Otto H.
Kahn, banker, sent broadcast in the
national capitol by the Mellon plan
propaganda committee headed by
Major General Organ. On this
committee are numerous university
presidents, corporation lawyers, pub
fishers, and several ex-presidents Of
the U. S. chamber of commerce.
Kahn says that after the war capt.
tai came to realize that the justifi-
cation for high surtaXes no longer
existed: at came to feel that the
maintenance of such taxes was not
due to the needs of the country but
to political considerations or tc class
prejudice OF sectional animosity, and
that their continued exaction was
something not far removed from
economic violence" 1t then took
steps to escape this taxation. Col
lection of federal taxes on incomes
of 100000 or above, which had been
$243, 100000 in 1919, fell to $S4,-
10000 in 1921.

payment of the guarantee Of earnings
given the roads for the first six
months after they went back to pri-

The commerce commission has turned
down the claim.
This railroad fought the shopmer

the goods. The Missouri Pacific has

RGiLlUdy Labor Bill
Goes to Bat Soon

WASHINGTON, March %. -
Hearing of statements from the
railroad labor organizations in be-
half of the Barkley- Howell railroad
labor bill has been completed by the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce. The railway companies will
be heard against the bill within a
week or two. Chairman Smith and
a majority of the committee ap-
peared unwilling that the opposition
should drag out discussion of this
measure, which proposes the repeal
of title 8 Of the transportation act
and the setting up of adjustment
boards, mediation boards and arbi-
tration boards in transportation
with recognition of the nationally
organized rail labor unions.
Hearings before the house COM
mittee have been requested, but will
probably be refused by Chairman
Winslow. In that event the friends
Of the bill will circulate the petition
for discharge of the committee,
made possible by the new rules Of
the house. This cannot be done
until 80 days after introduction of
the bill, or until March 80.

BOrdh May Pinch
Hit for Elephant
In Coming Election


WASHINGTON, March 23.-Sena-
tor Borah's name is mentioned in
connection with the possible revolt
in the republican national conven.
ton against the nomination of Cal
vim Coolidge. Republicans who will
not follow La Toilette INTO Farm
er-Labor movement, even temporar-
lily, and who still shrink from the
brand of Daugherty and the oil
crowd, are trying to imagine a sit
uation in which the party is to be
redeemed when its handpicked dele
gates meet in Cleveland in June.
The idea is that Pinchot in Penn
sylvania, Capper in Kansas, Norris
in Nebraska, LaFollette in Wiscon-
sin, Ladd and Frazier in North Da-
kota, and Brookhart in Iowa, will
be able to bring so many protesting
voices to the convention that the old
guard cannot safely nominate its
own candidate and will be obliged
to choose come one like Borah to
save it from humiliation.
This theory is secuted by the reg
ulars, who maintain that all of the
progressives will be with La Fol-
lette anyhow, and that the regulars
will refuse to be stampeded into a
surrender of the organization. They
may be beaten at the polls in No
vember but they will retain intact
the machinery to protect their posi-
ton for the future, as against
Borah, Pinchot, and all other semi
progressives.

Corporations Are
Stealing Millions
Thru Andy Mellon

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Evi-
dence in the hands Of Senator Couz-
ems which will be laid before his
committee investigating wholesale
frauds in the Internal Revenue Blu
reau Of the Treasury Department
shows that millions Of dollars have
been stolen by big corporations
from the government by highway
men methods. Documentary evidence
that various corporations owe the
government great sums in income
taxes which were falsely returned
at too low a figure has been stolen
from the files of the bureau. EN-
ployes of the bureau have been de-
liberately bribed to steal this proof
from the files. Without the proof
the government cannot collect the
taxes, which were due years ago
and the evidence Of which cannot
now be collected from original
sources. The names and ownership
of Tin Plate and other metal cor
porations involved in this fraud and
bribery will be established.
