Retail Merchants Malce Plans For Ensuing Season Off icers Re-elected at An- nual Meeting on Tuesday - Important Resolutions Are Considered and Pass- ed The Retail Merchants Association of Bowmanville took on a new lease of lLife on Tuesday night when the annual meeting was held and the best attendance in several months was registered. Ahl off icers of the Association were re-elected as fol- lows: President-W. C. Caverly; Vice-President-T. S Holgate; Trea- surer-W. Len Ellliott; Secretary- C. Gordon Morris. Several important resolutions were passed during the meeting. The f irst voiced the opposition of the Branch to any change in the wages act with respect to the section dealing witb garnishees. A copy of this resolution is belng f orwarded ta, the Ontario Government and to the local mem- ber. Another resolution called upon the Railways ta, cease the uni air dis- crimination between cities and towns in the matter of frelght handling, and demandlng that the charge for movlng frelght f rom local depots ta stores and warehouses be abolished. No charges are made in the clty for this service and the local merchants contend that no charge sbould be made In the towns. The third resolution was forward- ed ta FPred W. Bowen. M. P., urging the Ottawa government to take im- mediate action at the present sess- ion ta implement the Price Spreads Investigation and ta abolishi the abuses brought ta hlight In that probe.

Because of the importance o! some of the iceas set f orth we intend publisblng a full report of bis address in our next Issue, rather than have ta bail it down for public- ation this week.

The Globe: In a recent issue o! your paper I note a letter referring to, the downward trend in the prices o! bogs during October, November, etc. The reason given is quite log- ical and correct: that more hogs are marketed during those months than at other periods o! the year. But is it hogical that farmers -hould bave to accept a hower price on that account? More than that. is it sound economics? Has not the packer the cold-stor- aefacilities for smoothing out nhsepaotaford packer tes plantsnpeas o sthpay? Dothesep portunity ta buy at a how and selI ai a higb price witb enormous profit to the packer? Hogs are a perishable commodity. If a fariner sells tbema too ligbt or too heavy he receives less money for theus than the top market price. He cannot kill thern and bohd thein for a higb market, as do the packers. if for no other reason than that he bas not tbe cold-storage fa- cilities. Does tbe consumer get the benef it o! the drop in price? What relation isý there between the cost o! bacon in England and the cost o! production in Canada? Why- Is it that the packer must bave sucb en- ormous profits, while thefaie must often seil at less than tecs o! production? Farmer No Bicher April is the time ta start ta raise young pigs in most parts o! Canada. if the fariner must begin ta, ralse hogs la midwinter se as ta equalize the supply, thus reduclng the supply peaks, he will bave ta get higher prices; than the packer will psy ta, cover lacreased production costs. Why should he have ta, do this when the packer la already equlpped. witb cold-storage plants? If It were ad- visable or possible to distribute hog production over the twelve-uionth period the !a.rmer would not recelve one penny more. That la ta say, the difference between the cost o! pro- iduction and the sale price would be kin the same ratio as at present. Most o! tbe natural laws point ta, the desirabillty a! ralsing bogs In sumnier and marketing them lIn the fali. if the, fariner ralsed bogs in mldwinter he would have ta have a flrst-ciass type o! building, probablY with facilities for heatlng. He would bave ta f eed more to get the saine quahity o! bog. He would llkely find that bis bass by death was greater. AI1-Engulflug Taxes We must not f orget tbat the f ar- mer bas ta, live and pay bis bills. H-is taxes are due in the faîl, and o! recent years bis taxes are a large part o! bis uncontrollable expendi- tures. It la a f act that taxes la anc way or another bave become so great and the f armner's income 80 10w, that after paYlng taxes hc bas littIe le!t for building, machine or other maintenance. personal corn- forts, or other outlays of a work- producing character. In general money paid in taxes is not work- produclng. It 1a not used sean cnougb ta be hehpful ta the f armer. Money used In maintenance or i capital outlay is work-praduciflg. part o! the purcbaslng power of the clty warker wbo uses f arn products la derivcd from, this source. Because a! 10w prices the f arma in Canada have depreclated enormaus- ly ln the laut few Year. Buildings. macblnery and a hast o! other thlngs need repairs and, replace- ment. Huge suma O! money are needed to, e!fect this. Sînce wealth must be decentralizcd and since boans under modern conditions cause the centralization of wcaltb, the mediumu o! exchange - moneY - should not be supplied as loans. It should be supplied as an increase In the price of the f arme's products. A Beneficent Circle Since the fariner comprises sncb a large percentage of aur population and since the repairs and so on he needs are practlcaily ail the Pro- duets o! lndustry It la Quite appar- ent that 1FIs expenditures would put some o!. the city workless back to work if he only bad the money ta make thein. Now, if tbe Industrial worker goes back ta work his Pur- chaslng power will rise. He will once more be ln a position to, buy back bacon. park cbopsa nd ham, ln place of cbeap hamburg steak, as at present. Then we wouhd not have ta go ta England ta find out what we are gaing to, pay the f armer In Canada for bis hogs.

By the proper use of cold-starage plants and other changes in present arrangements, prices would be much more constant than tbey are. Thase who inslst that demand regulates production and prices, of course, wilh flot agree ith this. They wifl say that, since tbere is not demand enough ta cause the price to rise-well, there you are! They will have you curtail production to inake prices rise, which costs the masses misery. The fariner of today is a produc- tion man. Wthen be enlarges bis knowledge of econamics-.so that he will know more about the present system of distribution, then, and only then, wlll he take co-operative action ta insure hlmself a square deal.
