i-i'iu.irrrv for profits.
An cononilst attached to the fed
eral trade commission, afier looking
into the shoe business, tells the sen
ate manufactures committee that
part df the price evil could be rem
edied by tumpliii! on every pair or
shoes the price the retailer p. d for
theiu." People would refuse to :ay
the high prices demanded, he ex
plnlna. when Ibey were able to nee
for themselves what the profits
were. It might Indeed be an ex
cellent thliiK. In the shoe business
and In any other business where
dealera may appear to bo tuklng a.i
unfair profit. Two Ideas, however,
surges! themselves.
Flntt, It would not be fair to put
the retail dealers on record In ihht
pitiless fashion unless eveiy other
group In their Industry were put on
record likewise. If shoes, for ex
ample, bear the record of what the
retutler paid for them, thoy should
show also what the Jobber paid, so
that his pnillt can be figured. They
should show, too, what profit the
manufacturer made on them. And
should the record not no back of
that, into the realm of raw mater
ial, and reveal the tanner's profit
and the profit of the packer who
sold the hide to the tanner? So
with every commodity. There should
lie no discrimination. If the retail
er la profiteering he is not the only
one; he merely gels most of the
blame because be Is nearest to the
consumer out of whom all the pro
fits rteve to come.
Second, any such plan would Im
ply soino sort of standard itt legiti
mate proflls. What Is a fair per
centage of profit for a retailer, In
any particular line of trade? What
is a fair profit for the Jobber or
wholesaler? For the manufacturer?
There seems to be no generally ac
cepted criterion at present. The
only recoKnlritble rule npplfed in
practice soetus to be, "take all the
traffic will heir." And because
nearly everybody concerned Keels
satisfied that the traffic will bear
more now than It ever (ltd before,
proflls average higher than ever be
fore, not only in the number of dol
lars, but In proportion to overhead
expense and the cost of the poods
handled.
It might be worth while to start
such a system of cost price public
ity. If only as a stimulus to eleiir.
practical thinking. Instead of all this
blind recrimination thai Is preval
ent now. When we agree what pro
fiteering Is. perhaps we can make
rules to stop it. and enforce them.
Following closely on tne heels of
the decision of the supreme court
stock dividends nre not Income and
cannot be taxed as such, comes a
ruling from the supreme court of
the district of t'oluiuhta thai

that the powers sought tv the com

Organizers Will
Be Here Monday
A meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Chamber of Commerce
will be held this evening at 4 o'clock
for il'e purpose of arranging for lire
coining or the American City Bureau
organizers who are to arrive In the
ity Monday. The American City
Bureau will conduct a campaign here
to Increase the membership of the
Chamber of Commerce and will
spi nd several weeks In Hoseburg in
this work. An office will be pro
cured and equipped and active work
will be commenced Immediately up
on the arrival of the representatives
cf the publicity organization.
The department of Justice reports
that about 1.2o0 profiteers have
been arrested In the campaign

have been sent to Jail. This Is the
net result of all the scurrying and
the fussing and promises of the
antl- proliteerlng campaign.

Of course, when "Big Four" bro-'
