PRICE-FIXING.
A United States court holds that
the manufacturer of a strictly com
petitive article cannot fix the price at
which his goods shall be sold to the
consumer which comes to pretty
nearly the same thing as saying he
cannot protect his good will. What
could more effectually destroy the
good will of a storo than a general
belief that it sold the same goods to
different customers at different
prices? Who would feel safe In trad
ing with it? One price to all is fairly
the foundation of any big retail es
tablishment's good will.
, When a manufacturer. In seeking
the good will of his ultimate cus
tomers, names the price at which his
article shall be sold, he wants that
price uniform and invariable, for the
same reason the department store
wants its customers to know that the
price on the ticket is the only one at
which the goods will be sold. In both
cases it establishes that faith in fair
dealing which is an essential part of
good will.
The court holds that a selling sys
tem by which tho manufacturer "at
tempts to control the price of all
sales by all dealers, eliminating all
competition and fixing the amount
the consumer shall pay, amounts to
restraint of trade." The defendant
in this case makes breakfast food in
open competition with many other
manufacturers. That competition
between the different manufacturers
is ample to protect the public against
any monopolistic) oppression Is evi
dent to anyone who simply glances
at a grocer's shelves. .
The government does not even hint
at combination among the manufact
urers. Each of them, under free
competition, fixes the retail price at
his own peril. If he puts it unreas
onably high the business will certain
ly go to his competitors. If he has
established a highly valuable good
will, that Is the best possible guaran
ty he will maintain .the quality of his
goods for no one lightly Imperils
his most valuable possession. Re
stricting his ability to establish a
highly valuable good will lessens his
motive to maintain quality and finally
reacts against the consumer.
Curiously enough, though this
opinion would prevent a manufactu
rer from seeing that his goods are
sold at retail at one price to all, the
Clayton act provides they shall be
sold wholesale at one price to all
that is, forbids discrimination In
prices to customers under like con
ditions. For one wholesaler to get
goods cheaper than another Is unlaw
ful restraint of trade. Requiring that
one retail purchaser shall got goods
cheaper than another is also unlawful
restraint or trade.-Saturday Even

IHE BATTLE OF
THE TIRES
lArrtcnltural n OoniinrKliU Pt-m Prl-)
It Is interesting to watch the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the Iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twen
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions ot the con
flict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver
ing for polut of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim
portant positions In trafllc, but It has
now pitched a decisive battle with
Its Iron competitor by burling a mil
lion "Jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from oceun
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. It it Is compelled to re
treat. Its doom is soaled. but if it wins
the battle It will revolutionize the
transportation methods ot this nation.
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
ot this earth is on, for Iron Is the un
disputed master In transportation, and
Is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions ot men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an Iron rail In 1814, but It was 1809
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point,, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. It took the Iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of tbe Inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys
ses. The roadbed was already pre
pared and therein lies the power ot
the rubber tire ever that oi Iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron Is a stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwood
of defeat, and when rubber hurls Its
full force aoilnst this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov
ery. The rubber tire first made Its ap
pearance on the bicycle, but It proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for Incompetency. It has always been
too muCh inclined to revel In luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma
chine and Us reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to waft Into
dreamland, it is enchanting to noto
that there will be a marvelous differ
ence between a rubber and an Iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every man's door,
why a city? It will traverse the con
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule
vard built by Napoleon. It will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?
FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL
By Peter Radford.
The recent Investigation of the
United States Commission of Indus
trial Relations' brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view tbe rep
resentatives ot distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views In
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glaring at each other over gulfs of
misunderstanding and If the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
brldgo the chasm, It will render the
public a distinct service. ,
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn
ishing the sinews of war and it la
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each othor's souls, it always makes
the world better and far more satis
factory to the farmer, who In the end,
bears the burden of conflict, than
resolutions, speeches or pamphlets
containing charges and counter
charges. The love for Justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding Is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there la
no authority quite so commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de
cree quite so binding as that of the
Supreme Court ot Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite so
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor wJll not
be occasionally blinded by tbe light
ning flashes of avarice or frightened
by the thunder peals of discontent.
But Understanding Is a Prince of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to met who want to do right
A man's Income Is always a sacred
thing for in It are the hope, ambition
and opportunity of himself, and fam
ily, but there is nothing in a human
heart quite so divine as Justice and
Understanding is Us handmaiden.
