CIT COSTS TOO MUCH"

Hardly day goes by without our seeing something
want purchase-but don't because cit costs too
much"
1t may be suit of clothes a household convent
ence 1t may be something special for dinner Whatever
= is, the belief that 'it costs too much blocks
the purchase And customarily blame the merchant
The merchant may be at fault in some cases, but not
IN the majority. He sells cheaply he possibly can
Anowng better than you do that high prices do more
than anything else to build sales resistance Believe it
legislation in many instances, is directly
sponsble for high prices than the people who make
handle. and sell commodities
A large number of states, for example, have passed
so-called fair trade laws These laws vary in detail but
all about the in principle They effectively block
honest competition by preventing merchants from selling
certain articles below specified minimum AS result
they placed premium waste and inefficency The
hghcost dealer is allowed to be the arbter OF price and
value And the lowcost store isn't allowed to cut the
price even though wants to and could do so and still
make satisfactory profit.
Various local surveys concerning the economic effects
of these laws have been made And instance the
surveys have shown tna they raise the cost of vng and
reduce sales The average family spends about all re-
ceives in when prices forced up 1t must
buy fewer or inferior articles.
So don't blame your merchant when you think prices
ore too high Most of the time he like the consumer Is
victim of price-boosting policies which are beyond his
control.

State Amendments

Two amendments TO the constitu-
ton of the state of Michigan will be
submitted TO the voters next Monday.
Proposal No. 1 provides for the non
partisan election, by the people, of
justices of the supreme court, circuit
judges. judges of probate, and circuit
court commissioners.
This proposal must not be cOnfOund-
ed with the one defeated in a recent
election, which proposed that judges
should be appointed, rather than elect
ed by the people.
Under the present proposal, voters
will have their choice of candidates
selected, without regard to political
affiiation. In Detroit and WyandOtte
the nOn-partiSan election of city Off
Gals has proven so satisfactory that
no change in habit or sentiment will be
necessary To endorse the above pro
pO>al
Vote YES.
State amendment No. seeks To au-
thoriZe the vesting i'll circuit court
commissioners of like judicial powers
Of justices of the peace.
There seems to be no valid reason
for this change in status. The Herald
recommendation is to vote NO.

ELECTION
IS OECREEO IN
PENSION VOTE

The petition for a declaration of
rights, submitted by the pOlicemen's
and firemen's pension committee of
the city, directed against the city Of
WyandOtte and Lawrence J. LaCourse,
city clerk was heard before Judge Ar
thur Webster in circuit court last Sat
urday morning
The court reserved its decision until
Tuesday.
On the latter day. Judge Webster, in
his opinion stated the question at is
sIe-whether only taxpayers, or their
lawful husbands or wives, were quail
fed to vote on the pension ordinance,
o. whether it was open TO all legal
voters.
He referred to a section in the pro-
posed ordinance which provides that
policemen and fireInen shall contribute
per cent Of their salaries to the fund,
with the further prOvis0 that any def
cheney in the fund shall be made up
from the general fund or by borrowing.
Continuing, the court said: From u
cursOry examination of this ordinance,
and the decisions applicable, it seems
70 me that this is an election which
GENES under the constitutional prOvi-
sion requiring a vote of taxpayers, be-
cLuSe it involves the direct expenditure
of public money. 1t may DE argued that
pension fund is, in a certain sense, a
portion of the salary which is deferred
10 later date, but had the ordinance
in question been one To fix the salaries
of policemen and firemen it seems to
me that obviously il would fall within
the constitutional provision. Ii is
quite apparent, from the reading of
the ordinance. that the Council will be
called upon to supplement the pay
ments made by the policemen and fire
men Whether this is true or not will
depend upon future experience, but the
court cannot very we'll test the right 10
vote based upon the courts opinion as
10 whether or not it will be necessary
To appropriate supplementary funds.
Apparently such additional funds are
contemplated.
Il have expressed this opinion after
a very cursory examination of the au-
thorities presented Obviously, if the
court were to rule that only taxpayers
may vote, there will not be time TO APP
peal this decision to the supreme court
and have the ballots ready for the
april . eioCtlOu.s III OtHeE WOfus, tHc-
decision of this court, as far as the
April election is concerned, would be
final"
As a way out of the dilemma, the
court suggested that the city of Wyan-
dOtte follow the course followed in the
Case of Michigan Gas x Electric Com
pany against the city of Dowagiac,
27S Michigan 81, by providing separ-
ate pension ballots for taxpayers and
non Ia xpayers. This would Obviate the
necessity of second election. in case
the opinion of the court that only tax
payers may vote is upset by possible
appeal to the supreme court.
This course will be followed by the
city. Next Monday there will be sep
arate ballots for taxpayers and non
taxpayers on the pension proposition.

COUNCIL IN
OPPOSITION TO !.
ORDINANCE

The Council, at its session Tuesday
night, by a unanimous vote, adopted
resolution expressing disapprOval Of
the referendum ordinance on pensions
which goes to the voters next Monday.
The Council made particular refer
eDce to a circular letter being circu-
lated by the police and firemen, stat
ing that ''the bill is self-suppOrting."
The resolution declares: This par
agraph is both contradictory and con-
tains gross misstatements Of facts
concerning the ultimate cost Of the
proposed pension system TO the tax
payers"
Reference is then called to an analy-
sis made by John s. Rae, consulting
actuary, which says that by the terms
of the ordinance, no pension can be
paid for three years after its adOp-
ton. During that period there would
be an accumulation Of approximately
$4,440 year which with interest will
amount to about $13,6O0 in three years.
First pension payments will probably
be made, in 1912, when five men be-
come eligible for retirement. The cost
of pensions in that year will amount
to $500 and can be financed out OF
the contributions of the members OF
the departments, as can payments in
1913 and 1914. In 1916 the fund would
be exhausted and the city would have
TO supplement contributions by mem
bers of the departments with tax mon
ey. The amount necessary in 1915
would approximate $1,000. Thereafter
the cost from taxes would increase an
nually for about ten years, when it
would approximate $4,000 per year"

dered published in the three weekly
newspapers of the city, will be found
