Why GOVERNMENT PRICE IT
FIXING WON'T WORK

One of tha most persistent fallacies
IL g0vernanant price-fxing on COM
petitiTe commodities. There IL al
ready government price-Axing in COM
mcdities and services where competi-
ton plays no part in price determi-
nation. These are railway transpor.
taAon. electricity, gas, telephone and
Telegraph. and so on. Here govern
ment price fixing ia solely to protect
the consumer. There are two fatal
obtecttohs to government price-fxing
for agricultural products, which rep
resent che most competitive business
in the world. These are, first, that 1t
wfn not work: second, that it is al
ways done for the consumer as
against the producer.
Government price-nxing for agricul-
tnral products would work IL at the
same time the government regulated
wages, profits, middlemen's margins,
the production Of all commodities and
the rationing OF all consumers. In
short, II the population were enlisted
In on0 vast army, directed and ra-
toned, price-nxing would work, but
otherwise not II the price is fixed on
the wheat the. farmer sells, then he
cannot keep on producing wheat If
wages or the cost Of harvesting ma
chtnery rise, or II the cost Of other
material he buys rises. So the next
step would be the hxation OF other
prices. and yet other prices.
The United States government
hxed the price of wheat but once In
our history, and then 1t was to benefit
consumers, not producers. The gov
eminent might, in an emergency, fix
some agricultural prices for the pur-
pose Of elevating such prices Such
action would inevitably and speedily
lead to outcry from city consumers
and 8 consequent reversal Of policy.
Indeed the consumers, not the pro-
dncers. are most likely to demand
and secure food price regulation by
government, authorities. The farmer,
therefore. who favors any form OF
gOvernmentaI price-Axing is working
against his own interests. He is put
ting his head into q noose.--James e.

asked Aunt Emmy.
mo, but it's awfully safe. I'm sure
Of that" Mrs. Norris said. EVERY
body knows that bonds are safe
"My dear, some bonds are safe and
some are not. When you buy bond
you simply lend your money to the
company putting out the bonds. Bond
issues are secured generally by the
company mortgaging or pledging
some Of its property. In other words.
It offers certain asset as security
that 1t will return your money. to you
on the date the bond natures. It
agrees to pay you certain sum each
year for the use OF your money, usu-
ally something between five and eight
per cent. No company can afford to
pay too much for its money--and as
to fifteen per cent bonds-why 1t
would be very unusual for company
to be able to earn enough to enable
It to pay fifteen per cent for the
