Herbert Hoover, the food admlnlatra
nlor has pointed to this In some ob-"-servatlons
submitted to the senate com
ItTrnlttee on finance. Prices should be
;r fixed, he contends, at a point where
reproduction shall be encouraged, and
therefore should be high enough to
'Afford a'proflt to the small capital con-,
jjern; which, under ordinary condi
. ..Jions of competition, might be unabto
. te operate because the larger comblna
i ..lions would push It to the wall.
' That policy results in prices which
.-give enormous profits to the concerns
v ?vlng low producUon cost. Here.
,ays Hoover, la where congress should
;jwm In with a big tax leveling stick.
.-The excess profits tax should be bo
;: ;jevled, he asserts, as to absorb these
' .Inordinate profits from the big . pro
ducers, and turn the money Into the
.' .Itnlted States treasury.
j Manifestly, also, If price levels are
.Jmade high in pursuance of this plan.
" imh u,tlmt consumer will already have
.apgld hl "consumption tax" in the ex-
; J joesa profits which appear in the re
turns of the companies with low cost
' production. Price fixing is a fact and
,lhe Hoover idea, which is not alto
; i-setber a novelty, but has been pre-
; .Rented by him with unusual force, is
i ' ..Ukey to be heard from.
