little man, stands with outstratch-

For years he's been dressed like

He's a hitching post, and one OF

In front of the home of Jens Sor-

now rarely used. How old he is,
and who purchased him is beyond
the record. Mr.. Sorenson said he
was there when he bought the
house from Lou Irish. Herman Ha-
ger can remember being frighten-

was but a mere stripping Of a
youth. Twice the head of the cast
iron negro has been knocked off
by obtrusive motor cars-who have
not the refined manners Of horse

such things has prompted Mr..

Expensive Fish
From Our Exchanges

Does a $500 nonresident fishing
license make fish so expensive
that tourists will shy away from
the Minnesota summer resorts
That seems to be the main argu-
ment advanced by those who op-
pose a $500 fee for out-of-state Wis
itors who care to avail themselves
of this sport. We have always con-
tended that 1t Is not the fish, but
the sport that draws visitors to
any of our lakes. We may be all
wrong, but It seems to us that even
at 500 year the fish get mighty
expensive If we travel to some
northern lake to catch them. There
is the cost of transportation and
the living expense to be consider
ed. It is hard for anyone to make
such a trip for less than ten or
fifteen dollars at the least. Sup
nose you came back with ten fish.
That means about $3.50 per fish
and you can buy them for less
than that at your local market. No
we don't believe it is the fish that
attract the tourists, but rather the
sport Of catching them. They come
to Minnesota because they know
that our lakes have been teeming
with pike, bass. muskies, and 9th
err varieties Of the finny tribe. The
fishing license is just part Of the
vacation expense and should be
treated as such. Whether the IL
cense fee is one dollar or four
makes hut very little difference to
the fellow who really ENJOYS fish
ing. Even II the license fee were
removed entirely fishing would
still be expensive to the fellow who
thinks he Is roing to be money
ahead by catching his own fish,

It is very true that the income

secure the kind Of livelihood he
was entitled to for his labor, the
country would be on the way to
greatest progress and stability.

The Robinson-Putman Law
There has been so much talk
and so little understanding Of the
so-called "Patman Act" 1t would
be well to review 1t, so that we
may discuss 1t intelligently when
called upon to do so.
It has been called the most rev.
dictionary business measure Of the
past ten years. but it Is, really,
only an amendment to the Clayton
antitrust law, which seeks to stab
ilize the price Of merchandise In
like quantity and grade. IF Justly
and honestly enforced 1t should be
a boon to the small businessman
for only too often the big buyer
has been able to under-sell the
small buyer.
However, though the Patman bill
was designed to aid and foster
small business, no one knew how
the Federal Trade Commission
would interpret this act, whether
It. would merely outlaw cut-throat
competition or whether it would
establish such a rigid enforcement
policy that business would be plac-
ed in a straight-jacket Of taboos.
Several recent decisions have
cleared up this uncertainty, and,
while not furnishing or hampering
the big distributors, will protect
the small merchant. In two in.
stances the commission found that
companies had granted price diff
ferences not justified by costs. In
two other instances it was found
that the differences in cost war
ranted differences in prices.
The Robinson-Patman law spec
ifically provides for price diffenen-
tials, If 1t can be shown that the
size of the order, the factor Of
transportation or any other ele-
ment Of cost justifies special
price to a certain buyer. Business
men may now proceed with more
confidence, may ask or give a
price differential where 1t is justi.
fled, but must proceed cautiously
against going too far.
