FROM PRODUCER
TO CONSUMER

In an effort to learn what's the
matter with farming, Franklin d.
Roosevelt has followed the fortunes
of a crate of celery from Norfolk,
Virginia, to the consumers home in
New York City.
The producer sold the crate for 40
cents.
Commission man No. sold it for
go cents.
Commission man No. 2 sold it for
rs cents.
Commission man No. sold it for
80 cents.
Commission man No. a sold it for
$1.05.
Commission man No. 5, in the Bronx
sold it for $1.15.
Commission man No. 6 slid it for
$1.25, to buyer for grocery stores.
Buyer sold it to retail grocery
stores for $1.35.
Grocers sold 1T to ultimate consum-
er, the inevitable goat, for $3.50.
The consumer paid 61s times as
much as the producer received. To
put it another way, the producer got
only 15.4 per cent of the final price.

DECORATORS
AND PAPER HANGERS
INCREASE MEMBERSHIP

In his recent address before the
thirteenth biennial convention of the
Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators
and Paperhangers, President Hedrick
stated that the union had initiated
the five-day week movement, and that
there are $4,000 members now work.
ing under this system. In lettering
conditions for the members, the union
had helped all persons working at the
trade, and it was a mystery why any
intelligent person remained outside the
Brotherhood.
Organization and Growth.
I'm September, 1921, we had a
membership of 10000, which, during
the period of depression, was reduced
to 1882. In fact for practically one
year we lost in membership every
month because of the scarcity of work.
At the end of June, this year, our
membership was 1889. This is a
remarkable gain, considering the at
tempts that have been made in some
of the larger cities to retard our
growth, and in view of those who are
working under so-called open shop
conditions. This, of course, we hope
to remedy in time by having every
city working under closed shop con-
ditions.
The Brotherhood employs staff of
( fifteen organizers at the present
time, selected by reason of their long
experience in the movement and tact
in dealing with problems which are
constantly confronting them in the va
rious localities or jurisdiction, and
whose duty it is to assist local unions
wherever and whenever possible in inn
proving conditions by keeping inter-
est instilleed and increasing member
ship.
Laudable Publicity.
In their issue for September, The
Painter and Decorator states that in
most of the localities where the Inter-
national Brotherhood is represented
by membership, there is a great OPP
portunity for profitable activity along
the lines of constructive publicity
work and suggests that it is well
worth while for members to arrange
with the local publisher to keep them
supplied with news items concerning
the activities of the members of the
crafts constituting their organization.
''We Believe that such service serves
a most wonderful purpose in further
ing and cementing the ties of frater-
nalism and increasing the interest in
the local movement, especially insofar
as our membership is concerned"

TlMEs .sTAFE4PHoTol

A last warning to $4,000 persons
who have failed to make personal
tax return was issued today by
William P. Richards. District Tax
Assessor. He said that of $4,000
notices sent out only 1000 persons
have appealed. The average num-
Der of appeals Is 10000 a year.
IF persons who have received a
notice from us about personal taxes
will mail their returns tonight. we
will consider the information they
supply for what it's worth" Mr..
Richards said.
1t will not be necessary, Mr.
Richards said, for notary to sign
the return.
Last July 100000 persons filed per-
sonal returns. $4,000 failing. The
District assessors office then made
an estimate of what the return Of
the $4,000 should be and so notified
those persons.
The law requires that when the
assessor estimates the taxes the
taxpayer must be given an "p.
portun.ty to appeal. The time limit
for appeals expires today. Failure
to appeal is evidence that the
assessors estimate is correct

legislative appropriation bill for re.
decorating the mansion, and while
this money is not available until

Coolidge's ideas for the expenditure
conveyed to the executive offices OF

many original and individual
touches.
