High Prices? You foeek that retail meat prices are too high. Your retailer says he has to pay higher prices to the packers. Swift & Company prove that out of every dollar the retailer pays to the packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers‘ profit, 13 cents 4s for operating expenses, and 85 cents goes to the stock raiser; and that the prices of live stock and meat move up and down together, ‘The live-stock raiser points to rising costs of raising live stock. Labor reminds us that higher wages must go hand in hand with the new cost of living. No one, apparently, is responsible. Noone, apparently, is benefited by higher prices and higher income. We are ail living: on ahighpriced scale. One trouble is, that the number of dollars has multiplied faster than the quan» tity of goods, so that each — dollar buys less than formerly.
