WHERE ROBBERS DEFY THE PUBLIC Charlie Bryan was right dead right when ho declared that the only1 way Governor McKolvie could cut the high cost of living, wasln the licensing of the dealers In food stuffs, but the governor held that his pot project -the code bill would take Care of the situation. It doesn't. In th,e hearing being conducted under that bill, there has been disclosed a condition that ohght to be met and yet it won't be the code bill can't touch it. The robbers in food stuffs have , been found, but there is no power to put the brand upon their glutted sides. The governor can listen to the brazen admittance of robber greed and his investigators may blush with shame at tho seemingly de praved nature of the men admitting it, but he is powerless. his commis- ?lon is powerless to stop or to curb he brigandage tho holdup now go ing: on. , . Listen Juere t at the probing being made by the . state at Lincoln last week, Mr. Scott,, of the Stacy-Scott commission company, admitted that this company made .thirty per cent net profit last year. $30,000. on a Capitalization of .$00,000. That the Overhead expense was twelve per cent. Therefore every dollar's worth of commodity reaching their hands was skyrocketed in price forty-two per cent. 'Then comes a Mr. Whitnack who deals in .car load lots. He .sells commodities .to.. the, jobber. He sells to Stacy, -and; Scott,. .Let's ,see what, his-taction of: tribute is before he passes' it. on to Stacy and Scott to take their forty-two per cent whack. Her says in his evidence, that ho had $18j000 invested in the products he buys products enroute from pro ducer to the jobber. His net earnings were $9,000, or a nice little sum of fifty ppr cent on the capital invested In food stuff. This added to the hike given by the jobbing bouse, makes a total oX ninety-two per cent of an advance upon everything handled by these two go-betweens of the pro ducer and consumer and the local merchant hasn't been counted in. It this isn't high handed robbery; if.it isn't real refined and gentleman ly brigandage, we want to know just the course necessary to commit it. And yet, there is no law to reach these men who, without faltering and without stuttering, tell uff'that they have between them, biked the neces saries of life intrusted to their keep- Ing, nearly" one nunureu yor w" fcare for thflfr.net profits, No wonder I' U'l 4 JJ -.U t1nt nnata fhOTTl DUSnei QI nyiuiucu ma.j i no dolkirf;per busjiel;' becomes a 2.25 cenTcommodtty when It reaches fii fnWfl'nf' tho noor wage earner.
