sTABBING THE CONSUMER

An informed observer of attacks
against the chain store industry recently
said that critics of the chains commonly
hold two assumptions:
First, that there is something Inherent
ly evil in the chain method of distributions
second, that the business of distribution
exists and should be protected for the
benefit of the distributors especially the
least efficient distributor-regar of
what happens to the consumer.
Practically all anti-craft legislation,
such as the Robinson-P atman act, the pro-
posed MilIer-Tydings price maintenance
act, and the various state acts imposing
heavy special or class taxes on chains,
erects an artificial barrier against the pro-
cesses of free, legitimate competition By
making illegal, mass retail practices that
cut overhead costs of various kinds and
thus make it possible to narrow the price
spread between producer and consumer
they actually place a premium on waste
and inefficiency. The manufacturer, mid
dleman or retailer who is unwilling to
operate on high basis of service and eff
ficiency is pampered by the law, and the
efficient competitor and the consumer are
penalized.
Chain stores came into, existence as
the result of definite public demand for
economical retail agencies Their IN
fluence in the retail field has been good,
and one Of its direct results has been to
improve the standards of service and dis
tribution methods of indirect results has
been to improve the standards of service
and distribution methods of independent
merchants. independents who were will
ing to keep up with the march of progress
have not been forced out of business-in-
stead they have multiplied and prospered
and today independent stores do more
than 70 per cent of all the nations retail
business.
Any act which outlaws free competi-
ton, or interferes with it in any way, must
operate at the expense of the consumer.
This is demonstrated now in the rising
cost of living.

HEART PROTECTION

More people die from heart disease
than from any other cause, its death toll
among business men being especially
high. Yet proper precautions, if taken in
time, would prevent many of these deaths.
Writing on this subject in fraternal
magazine, DR.. Charles II. Mayo, world
famous physician and surgeon, says:
THE report of the sudden death of
prominent business man from heart disI ase
is all wrong He was years in dying. Al
year ago his physician, if given the opporJ
tunity, might have discovered the dam
aged heart which he probably had had
since. developing some infectious disease
or infected teeth. Early detection with
proper personal hygiene and wise treat
ment would have added happy useful
years.
A recent bulletin of the Dental In
stitute of America points out that % mil
lion school children are in serious need of
dental care. with an average of from four
to six decayed teeth. In many cases these
are likely to develop the type of heart dis
ease which brings early death. Too often
an infected tooth is permitted to drain IN
to the blood stream until irreparable dam
age is done, through failing to see dem
list except when forced to do so because
of an aching tooth.
1t is a well known fact that dental
science is making definite progress in pre-
venting the development of heart dis
orders. But such disorders resulting from
infected teeth will not be materially re-
duced so long as some 100 million people.
or three out Of four in the United States.
remain neglectful of both daily and pro-
fessional dental care.

Congress were not as indignant as
the President had hoped they would
be over the rather weak disclosures
made by Secretary Morgenthau. Yet
they came through and gave him his
investigation. knowing tn at more

terpart, It was out Of balance. More
revenue was needed. The first sug-
gestion was an income tax for the
District.
The idea was very popular in Con-
gress until ii was pointed out that
under such a tax members Of Con-
gress would be liable to District tax
on their income. AS soon as this word
went forth. the notion Of balancing
the budget of the District Of Columbia
by using an income tax died IN its
tracks. Both senator's and represen-
tatives expressed themselves vigor-
ously in opposition.
Some Of these gentlemen are SO vio-
lently obsessed on the subject Of tax
ing according to ability that they
count that day lost in which they do
not introduce a bill providing for
increases In the rates or reductions in
the exemptions under the federal in
come tax law. But no one in Con-
gress is so utterly and absolutely de-
voted to the principle of taxation
according to ability as to be willing
local income tax.
The revenue plans for the District
were hastily revised. and singularly
enough. here was measure on which
every one, whether Democrat, Repub-
lican. Farmer-Laborite. or Socialist.
could happily agree. No partisan bick-
ering divided our national Iawmak-
ers as they agreed to kill the income
tax for the District offColumbia and
hang the tax boz on the other fel-
lows neck. This time the other fel-
low was the properly owner. The
property tax rate was raised by
another $500 per $1,000 Of assessed
value.
The old Romans used to kid Them
selves and each other by saying that
it was sweet and pleasant to die for
ones country. How sweet and profit-
able il is to do the legislating for ones
country. and to authorize drum head
investigations into how others OBJ
serve the tax law. while at the same
time making certain that ones own
salary as lawmaker Is not levied
upon for any part Of the costs Of local
government.
This beats dying for ones country
by long way.
