SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Nebulosity.
Some splendid cerebration Is progressing
far and near,
But the topics are SO numerous today
That a nebulous condition seems to
threat our solid sphere
With fireworks In an intellectual way.
A decision should be easy, but it's diff
cult to find,
But each day It's growing harder to
discern,
When everybody wants to tell the world
what's on his mind
And no one wants to listen or to learn.
Philosophy and commerce. now and
then dash Of art,
With metaphysics coming to the fore,
And economics looming for o most i'm
portant part,
With philanthropy still striving as of
yore-
A man who thinks in silence and who
waits in hope to serve
Now fears to be mistaken for Ounce.
Yet how can we get the action that we
honestly deserve
When everybody tries TO talk at once.

run than the cumbersome domestic
allotment plan as written into the farm
bill now before the House. The Congress
could not by law compel the American
public to purchase any more wheat
or cotton or pork than it wishes to con-
sumo under a price fixing plan. But
it could say how much the commodity
was to bring-as 1t did during the World
War for wheat. In those days the
price-fixing was in the interest of the
consumer and to prevent the prices
of bread going too high. Today the
boot is on the other leg. The effort is
to make 1t possible for the farmer to
get at least as much money for his
crops as he expends in producing them,
and little more. Prices have gone so
low for farm produce that the Ameri-
can farmer has been in a terrible way
for long time.
** ~
If price fixing plan we're adopted to
aid agriculture, the farmers would have
to judge for themselves just how much
wheat, cotton, corn, etc, they would be
able to sell. Those who were wise
would curtail their crops accordingly.
At least there would be no more talk
about the ability of the farmer to get
price that would pay for the produc-
ton Of bushel Of wheat, for example.
If he raised too much wheat to sell. he
would have to stand a loss on what he
raised In excess Of the demand.

QlrecCOf.
Noting the criticism that has
been levelled at the cut taken by
importers, Fry explains that it aver
ages but 14.5 cents a case through
out athe state.
From this they must pay ware
housing charges, employees, office
rent and other overhead expenses
the Fry statement sets out.
Here are the costs of case of
beer as listed by Fry:
F. o. B. brewery, $1.70; freight,
Is cents; state beer tax, Tx cents;
gross sales tax, n cent; license fee,
l cent; total cost to importer, $1.97.
and price to wholesaler, $210h.
Calls Profit Small
Without the license fee this makes
the importers profit Az cents.
Fry's statement then continues.
THE average price received by the
wholesalers ranges from $3.50 to
$3.50, depending on quantity Of sales
and proximity to point of delivery.
Retailers sell at profits ranging
from 81 to $1.10."
Declaring that the public is buy
ing beer at from 12.5 cents to Is
cents a pint, Fry comments that the
cost is comparable with other states
and lower than some.
Surprised at Low Price
He said he was surprised to learn
that in Chicago today it is being
sold on draught at cents a
schooner.
Governor Paul v. McNutt refused
to let the legislature permit draught
beer under the Indiana law.
In closing his statement. FRY
pleads for the importers as follows:
The importer saves the state
thousands of dollars by acting as
the tax collector on imported beers.
Were it not for the fact that all
beer sent into the state must 20
through the hands of the ten i'm
porers, the excise directors Office
would have to send out a veritable
army of auditors to recover the S
cents gallon tax fixed by law.
The state is interested intensely
in less costly beer. I believe the law
of supply and demand will bring
down the price"
