Pressure Groups
The perennial cry of independ-
tent business men and small re-
tallers, especially since the early
1930s has been that they are UNI
able TO meet prices set by large
firms and corporations
In some cases, the larger, more
efficient firms set out to gain a
bigger share of their product mar
ket by cutting prices and under
selling with the intent of forcing
smaller firms out OF business.
The more logical conclusion is
that larger firms, being able to
buy In great quantities at reduced
prices and producing much more
efficiently than small firms are In
a position to pass along savings
to buyers in form OF lower prices
This is the interplay and forces
of competition at work, which is
as IL should be.
But very small segment of the
business world caused higher
prices to be paid by people in a
majority OF the states where fair
trade laws have been passed
Whenever the entire public Is
forced to pay higher prices for
goods TO protect independent mer'
chants, 1t seems that more is inn
piled than their maintaining a sue
cessful state Of business.
The rapid growth OF chain
store systems during the 1905
and 19So's caused wholesalers and
independent retailers TO form pres
sure groups for purposes OF lobby
ing against big business, They
were particularly interested in
device or law by which chair
systems and department store:

before leaving the factory and
must still go through wholesalers
or other middlemen. In other
words, the retailers has no choice
in setting the prices for his Gus
toners, they are set long before
reaching him, even though he may
not have signed any agreements
with a producer. he is still bound
to sell at the stipulated price.
However unsavory ii may be the
question arises to to whether the
small, independent firm and re-
tailers has any continuing place
in our economy 1t is well to hold
onto custom, etc. but not at the
expense of buyers who are pri-
marily interested in obtaining
quality goods at the lowest pos
sible prices.
The most startling fact that
energies from all this is that no.
where was the public good men
toned. In short the public wasn't
even considered. only business and
methods of competition.
Here is a prime example of poll
ticians and legislators passing
laws with no regard for their gem
eral constituents as they:
"a passed legislation to regu-
late forces of competition which
should have been left alone.
(2) forced large firms and cor
porations to become larger
through greater profit yields be-
cause of higher prices charged
go forced small and independ-
ent firms to become small as their
share of profits became relatively
less.
ca forced the public for 20
years now to pay higher prices for
goods to help keep independent re-
tailerS in business.
Dust Fair Trade Law
Let's face it: this is the era of
big business and mergers are
making them larger; super-mar-
kets are a necessity; while subur-
ban life and multi-million dollar
shopping centers are fast becom-
ing a way of life. The days of
small independent merchants are
fast coming to an end and there's
no reason, legal or otherwise, for
the public to have to continue TO
maintain obsolete economic in
stitutions.
There's much talk, but little &C
ton in Kidding the nation of these
bad laws as they are yet on the
books. However well the intent
for which they were passed, fair
trade laws have caused more harm
than good and should be stricken
from the statutes.
II should not take up 100 years
to realize this was a mistake from
the start; that change must nee
essarily have effects. good and
bad: that no handful Of merchants
has the right to keep us forever
| chained TO a system Of outrageous,
| ly high prices.
II is an evil thrust upon an in
nocent people and immediate steps
should be taken at the state and
federal levels to abolish il.

OF rabies.
The first symptom of rabies
is usually a change in behavior.
The animal becomes restless,
somewhat nervous, and excit-

time. He may have tendency
to wander, returning exhausted
and considerably emaciated.
There are two forms of Ra-
bies. In the furious form OF
the disease, the animal is ag-
greSsive, will snap at various
objects and will attack dogs,
people, or any object. In this
form the dogs tendency to
roam, its inclination to bite, pa
particularly anything moving,
lead to the distribution of the
disease over a wide area. Ma
ny animals affected with rabies
do not exhibit these symptoms.
In the dumb form of rabies,
paralytic symptoms are the
outstanding features. The dog
is not vicious, has no tendency
to bite or roam, and is not ex-
citable. The outstanding char
acteriStic of this form of ra-
bies is paralysis of the lower
jaw; An examination of h e
