What Determines Prices
By F. A. Ellenwood, Vice-President
of the National Wool Growers
Association, in The National Wool
Grower for October.
There has been rampant specula
tion and prediction as to the effect of
the new tariff law upon prices. It is
unjust for anyone to assert that a
great burden has been placed upon
the consumer before the law is real
ly in operation.
Strong propaganda has been direct
ed against the tariff on wool. Cer
tain selfish interests desire to main
tain the unfair advantage over the
wool which they have almost always
had in the past, and which, in the
end, means free wool with a protec
tion on all manufactured goods.
These interested propagandists have
convinced most of the reetail cloth
ing merchants that the present tar
iff bill will increase the cost to the
consumer from $4 to $5 on a suit of
clothes and perhaps as much as $7
on an overcoat.
In the annual convention of the
Retail Merchants held in Oakland,
California, last August, a merchant
with an interest in the welfare of the
wool growing industry and also a
certain amount of conscience about
right and wrong, rose to say that
even if such increases were to be
brought about, agitation should await
the final passage of the law demon
stration of its effect. This we claim
is the right position for retailers to
take. Many times these things work
out in the end just the opposite what
to oe subsequent in time and inferior
to the plaintiff mortgage; and
That the plaintiff's mortgage be
foreclosed and said property sold in
the manner provided by law and the
practice of this court, and the pro
ceeds thereof be applied:
(a) To the payment to the plain
tiff of its costs and disbursements
herein, costs of sale and accruing
costs;
(b) To the payment to the plaintiff
of the sum of $1300.00 attorney's fees
and the sum of $21.00 cost of contin
uation of abstract of title;
(c) To the payment to the plain
tiff of the sum of $10,000.00, together
with interest at the rate of 8 per
cent per annum from the 14th day of
July, 1022, until paid;
(d) The balance, if any, be paid
unto the clerk of this court to be dis
bursed by him to such person or per
sons as may be entitled to the same,
and
That if said real property shall not
sell for a sufficient sum to psy the
plaintiff the several sums above men
tioned, that the plaintiff have judg
ment and decree against the defend
ants Henry E. Peterson and C. R. Pet-
terson, both severally and jointly,
for such deficiency; and
That the plaintiff have judgment
against the defendants T. E. Peter
son and Victor Peterson, administra
tor of the Estate of Aaron Peterson,
deceased, for such sums as to the
court may seem just and equitable;
and
Thut the plaintiff or any party to
thh suit may become a purchaser at
said sale and the defendants and each
of them and either of them, and all
persons claiming by, through or un
der them or any of them, subsequent
to the execution of plaintiff's mort
gage, either as purchasers, incum
brancers, or otherwise, be forever
barred and foreclosed of all their
right or claim in and to said real
property save only their statutory
right of redemption; and
That the plaintiff have such other
and further relief as to this court
may seem just and equitable.
This summons is served upon you
by publication thereof in The Ga-sette-Times,
a newspaper published
and of general circulation in Morrow
County, Oregon, for six successive
weeks pursuant to an order made and
entered by the Honorable Wm. T.
Campbell, County Judge of Morrow
County, Oregon, on the 30th day of

WM. T. CAMPBELL,
Attest: County Judge,
J, A. WATERS, County Clerk.
many of us believe beforehand, e. g.,
several years ago we had quite a
high tariff on sugar. A great many
politicians won their seats in Con
gress by stating that this protective
tariff was the cause of the then seem
ingly high price of sugar and that
we should have free sugar. Shortly
after the tariff was reduced on sugar
the Independent ' Beet Sugar factor
ies of Idaho, Utah and California
were closed and we have had dearer
sugar ever since, so that the low
duty on sugar instead of reducing
the price of sugar to the consumer
here has had just the opposite effect.
For a great many years, in fact
ever since Cleveland's free wool ad
ministration, up until the first term
of President Wilson's administra
tion, we had a protective tariff of 33
cents per scoured pound on wool.
During all those years we had cheap
er elothing of good quality. For
many years during that time the to
tal cost of the cloth for an all-wool
suit of elothes without any adultera
tion whatever was $3 60 at the mill
and the fine cloth and heavier
weights ran up to $4.60 for enough
to make a fine suit of clothes. For
eight years during the Wilson ad
ministration we had free wool and
there was a time in the history of
this country when we paid such
high prices for all kinds of clothing
and there never was a time when
they were of such poor quality. For
sixteen months the emergency tariff
waa law and it carried a 'duty on
scoured wool of 46 cents per pound,
the highest tariff on wool we ever
had. In spite of this fact the whole
sale and retail prices on clothing
have been gradually coming down to
normal, as we say. The quality has
been much improved. Now bear in
mind until September 21, the duty on
wool was 45 cents per scoured pound,
and that it is now 31 cents.
The new rate is a reduction of 14
cents per pound on scoured wool,
and in the face of this proposed re
duction in the tariff the alarmists are
telling us that the price of clothes
will be increased from what it is to
day. This is certainly unjust to the
producers of wool and shows how
easily people are misled by those
who are loud on talk and short on
principle. It only requires about
four pounds or less of scoured wool
to make a genuine all-wool suit of
clothes, and it matters little whether
the duty is 20 cents or 30 cents per
pound on scoured wool. At 31 cents
the total amount of the duty is only
$1.24 for the wool in our very best
suit of clothes, and this would all be
lost sight of by the time it reached
the consumer as the general appear
ance and makeup of a suit of clothes
has many times more to do with its
retail selling price than the tariff
does. In order to show how little
the tariff has to do with the retail
selling price of any article. I wish
to submit for example thirteen illus
trations. The articles referred to
were all purchased within the last
few months from some of the large
reiau stores in new York City by a
representative of the U. S. Govern
ment. The details are taken from a

I could submit considerable over a hun
dred similar cases, showing the original
cost in country where made, transporta
tion charges, the duty paid and the retail
price, but I have only selected a few from
various countries to show how very little
the tariff has to do, on any article, with
iu retail selling price. It is also worthy
of mention to note that cod liver oil com
ing from Norway and paying no duty
whatever, produced for the retailer that
sold it in New York City the exorbitant
profit of 1.774 per cent 1 suppose if there
had been an exorbitant duty say 100 per
eent ad valorem, which would amount to
2.6e per pint, this very firm would have
had propaganda ail over . the country
about the exorbitant duty on cod liver ofl.
A duty of 100 per eent would have been
a high duty but it would have been very
small and insignificant compared to the
1.774 per cent that he took tor his share
In handling H.
As wool growers we have fought
since 1011 for a protective tariff on
wool that would be fair to all parties
concerned one that would give fair
protection to the wool growing inter
ests of this country, reasonable pro
tection to all branches of manufact
uring and still be fair to the consu
mer. Some of our wool tariffs in the
past were not fair either to the wool
grower or to the consumer. We have
made this fight consistently for
eleven years in the intrests of both
We have no quarrel with the retail
clothing merchants and it was my
mission in New York to meet with
them and convince them, if possible,
that they have been misled by sel
fish intrests trying to destroy the
wool growing industry in this coun
try and secure for themselves an un
fair advantage of the producer and
wool growers in this country The re
tail merchants and the consuming
public are too closely united in social
and business affairs to permit those
frindly relations to be jeopardised by
propaganda originating from a source
that cares nothing for any of us. I
believe that if the sugar man is given
a duty on sugar with an assurance
that it will remain there for several
years, you will see sugar beet factor
ies in our Western country starting
to operate again and we will have
cheaper sugar than we have today
or have had for a long time. Give
the cattleman a duty on hides and
beef. Give the wool grower a duty
on wool and mutton, and so on, in
cluding all producers and the retail
merchants in every line will have
a I much .better business than, they
have today. The consumer can not
purchase from the retalers any
articles except the bare necessities
of life unless he has money with
which to .purchase. Protection for
the producers of this country means
more consumers and a better busi
ness for the retail man in all lines.
Particularly do we urge retailers of
men's clothing not to believe the pro
paganda that is now sent to them,
telling them that the retail price of
clothes must increase. I believe that
it is not so, Withhold your judg
ment in the matter until after it
has been positively demonstrated
"Yes" or "No."
We in California know a few years
ago when the 18th Amendment was
about to become a law all the wine
men in California thought it was all
over with them and many of them
destroyed their vineyards, but after
the 18th Amendment was enacted
grapes were about five times higher
than ever before, and if prohibition
ever becomes effective they will per
haps be still higher; so it is, these
things often work out in a way op
posite to the predictions of some
supposedly wise men.
If we had double the amount of
duty on raw wool that we expect to
get or intend to ask for, woolen
clothes might be cheaper than you
ever saw them before, so my plea
to the retailer and to the consumer
at the present time is to withhold
their judgment until after the new
tariff bill has been in operation long
enough to reveal its true effect.
Two important lessons are taught
by the facts I have presented: first
the tariff on any article has but
little to do with the cost to the con
sumer; second, we should not go, or
send to New York and other big
cities for bargins, but spend our
money with our own retailers at
home. Stand with them and ask
them to stand with us.

You Excuse It, Please-
There Is No One ontheLineNow"
Mistakes are bound to happen. We all make
them. "When your telephone bell rings and the
operator says, '"Will you excuse it please, there
is no one on the line now," she is not responsible
for your annoyance and inconvenience.
The occasion for the use of the phrase most
frequently arises when the called party is slow to
answer the calling subscriber does not wait
and hangs up his telephone.
Many times daily telephone users call wrong
numbers use incorrect prefixes, such as "Main"
for "Market" transpose figures, such as 5342
for 54J2.- Suddenly realizing their mistakes,
they hang up their telephone.
Without fault or negligence on her part the
telephone operator is left to explain, and the
sentence first quoted is that adopted as most
briefly and concisely covering the situation.
