WHO FIXES THE PRICE
The FarmersSun recently had an
editorial which read in part as fol-
lows:
Take, for example, the matter
of price fixing. We (farmers).
go to a doctor or dentist, lawyer
or brick -layer, machinery agent
or grocer, and he _sends us a bill
for services .renderohd - or goods
sold, asthe case may he. , You
• have 'nothing to say as to what
he shall charge. „ On. the other
hand, you produce the greatest .
necessitiyeein,
the ,,workte. some- .:
thingthat everybody must have,
and yet you have ,), for
absolt tely no
ay ati, what you shall 1.
the food you sell. The other fel-
\
s.
low fixes* the price for the com-
modities you buy and the price •
for the commodities you sell.
The view of trading here express-
ed is very commonly held by farmers
and it is one of the "wrongs" upon-
wiii.2h U.F.O. °Mors' ring • the chan-
es. .
Bur it ,is quite evident ,that the.
view isnn entirely wrong one. Does
anyone think that the buyers of eggs
for example, would not buy them for
something less than forty „ or fifty
cents per dozen, as the case may be,
if they could? Wouldn't the dealers
hogs, cattle and grain buy these
cheaper if they 'could?
Suppose the farmer undertakes to
fix. the price of)his hogs and says
they are to be 20c per pound. ' The
dealer knows that he can get only
19 1-2 cents for hogs and coneequent-e
ly will not pay 20c. In paying he
must have regard •fOr what he can
get.
Does the packer fix the price? To
some extent, but not altogether. If.
the packer could do it he would buy
hogs at lOc per pound and sell his
cured meat at $1.00 per pound. Thai
would just look like goo.l. business to
him. But he can t fix he price of
either hogs or bacon except within
comparitively narrow limits. He
must pay enough for hogs to induce
farmers to raise hogs, and he must
keep the price of baton vithifi reach
of the consumers. -
The dentist and doctor, too, cannot
go beyond ,certain limits without ruin-
ing their business. It is quite evid-
ent that should a dentist charge
$5.00 for extracting a tooth, farmers
and others would refuse his services.
This shows that the dentist hasn't
the whole say in fixing his charge.
Neither has the maker or seller of
implements the fixing of his prices.
If he has, why doesn't he fix them
ten or a hundred per cent higher?.
Is it because he is modest or charit-
able? We all know that it isnot. It
is because, for one reason and an-
other, hecould not sell at higher
two to make a bargain."
There are, of course, occasionally
exceptional circumstances in which
profiteering can be practised. But
such. profiteering is not confined to
business men. .During a snow block-
ade in cod weather, when there. was
scarcity of fuel farmers have asked
what may fairly be called exhorbit-
ant prices for loads of wood or old
rails. Pc'ople are touch alike in all
walks of life.
TIIE GAME OF POLITICS AT
OTTAWA
Canada has, within the past week,
n treated te one. Of the greatest
political sensat:ons of its history ---a
sgtriSation 'which cannot fail to have
melt (Ian:aging effects upon the 'gov-
ernment- at Ottawa-, already much
d:seredited.
We refer to the statements made
bse Mr. James Murdock on resigning
fro-ri the Board of -G-ommerce.
The Board of Commerce consisted
of three men appeintre oy th2 Dom-
ini',!') Government and given power
to investigate and report upon. .the
business and businesi methods of
any individual .er-eompany carrying
,tintse in Canada. The ptirpeece
of the Board was to protect the pub-
lic, from the "prefiteers"—generally
biv business concerns whieh, taking
advantage co,f the proteetivetariff or
'the cond:tions treated by' the.war,

A team of horses costs about $100, double harness
$100, a wagon 375, making a total of $575. A Ford
Truck costs $750 at Ford, Ont.
Government experiments have proved that the cost
of feeding a horse is 8.7 cents per working hour, or
17.4 cents per teamaper hour. One team, if collecting
milk,could not cover more than 30 miles a day.
The cost for twelve hours would be $2.09, or about
seven cents a mile. The cost for gas z\nd oil for a
Ford Truck is only 4N cents a mile. cost of. operation.
A 'Ford 'Truck will cover 'at leat.-60 'miles- a day col-
lecting milk or 250 miles on long hauls. It enables you
to operate at a lower cost per mile and to cover twice
as much territory as with horses.
