which states, l will accept no ration
Cd goods without giving up ration
points and | will pay no more than
top legal prices. What are these top
legal prices or as they are called
Ceiling Prices? Since March 1912
when the General Maximum Price
Order was issued practically every
commodity and service with Il few
exceptions was frozen us To the price
prevalent at that time. Since then
some adjustments have been neccs-
Sary SO now we have three rules to
go by in determining ceiling prices
First some commodities and Scrv-
ices are still under March 1912
prices. Take popular brand cigarettes
for example. Different stores had
prices ranging from l3c to l7c per
pack in March 1912, the ceiling price
for these cigarettes may bc l5c IN
one store and lie in another dc
pending OH what was the highcS,
price they were charging in March
1912. When you call a plumber you
still pay the same hurly rate as you
paid for his services i'm March 1912,
although different plumbers may
have had different service charges at
that time and all plumbers may not
charge the same price.
Then there is the percent mari-up.
a retail store is given a definite Der
cent mark-up over the wholesale
price To arrive at its retail cCiiing
price. This Wholesale price may
vary, as ii docs in the case of 1ggs
| each week, but the retail merchant
Is making no greater profit when
eggs arc selling at i9c than he is
when they are selling at SIC. This
percent mark-up 10 determine rctaII

cans" Senator McGuigan com
mented. You understand the two
thirds feature of this bill. l thought
perhaps on April swell, l don't
know what can develop"
Al this point the Senate took a
five minute recess on motions OF
Senator Robert II. Yerkes of Hous-
ton. majority floor leader. When
the Senate returned, Senator Nc
Guigan's motion TO defer action was
reconsidered and adopted.
One bill requiring three
fourths vote and not providing for
an appropriation to welfare
agency slipped through the House
while Representative Fred S. Bail
cy. of Harrington. minority floor
leader. was out of the chamber
The Senate also passed a bill
calling for three-fourths vote. but
not of the welfare category. 1t had
been introduced by a Democratic
member. Senator William II. Ayres
of MillsborO, and he called ii up
for final action.
The Ayres bill was one to apprO-
pirate $9.S9S to the town OF Lau-
rel for Il portion of its eXpendi-

Passage of the welfare bills in
both houses was featured with
very little discussion. In the House
Democrats chided the Republicans
by reminding them that yesterday
was not Wednesday. March "a. the
date the majority party had set
for bringing up the measures. How
ever. nine Democrats were absent
Wednesday. making it impossible
to bring up the bills.
Before the welfare appropriation
bills were called up for final ac-

Guigan declared, To show you the
complete sincerity of the minority
