PAUL MINNESOTA | MINNESOTANS 10 - GET SMALL END North Dakota Has 2 1-2-Cent Rate and Wisconsin 2—3 Cents Here After July 1. ° SOME CONCESSION BY ROADS Excursion Rates for July 4 and Mile- age Books at a Reduction Are Promised. ‘While North Dakota will enjoy a 2 1-2-cent passenger rate, and Wis- consin a 2-cent rate, persons travel- ing in Minnesota after July 1 will pay 3 cents for every mile. There are some comforts, however, in store for the travelers, for in putting in the new rate made permissable by the Sanborn decision in the Minne- sota rate case, all-railroads probably will return to certain passenger con- cessions in effect when the 2-cent rate went in. It is generally conceded by traffic officials that the sale of 2,000 to 5,000-mile mileage books at.a 2-cent rate will be restored. The Western roads at a meeting in Chicago last week decided to resume ‘the sale of mileage books. The Northern roads probably will take similar action. Excursion Rate for July 4. On July 4 most of the roads will suspend the 2-cent rate within a radius of 250 miles. Nearly all the roads in Minnesota have formally an- nounced that they will put in special | rates of a fare and a third for that day. This sounds like a reduction, but strictly it is nothing more than| the 2-cent rate. Under the 2-cent rate, however, such a thing as an ex- cursion rate was unheard of. The| tickets for July 4 will be placed on sale July 3 and 4, and will be good | ! returning July 5. Freight Charges Up, Too. Every road in Minnesota is eithér prepared or preparing to put in the new freight and.passenger rates by July 1. On purely state business all the roads are in shape to charge the new rates by July 1, but some of them had not filed their interstate schedules, which needed revision un- der the decision, in time to make the rates operative by Jaly 1. By July 20, however, the rates will be changed in their entirety. Bait. She—Why. Charlie, you seem to have become quite a man of fashion—such clothes, such jewelry!

All your life, until now, you have paid for every pair of good shoes you have ever bought some price measured in full dollars or half-dollars. It was always $3.50, or $4, or $4.50, or $5, or so on, upward, This is a custom that, if figidly followed, is economically wrong in a dozen different ways—all of them bad for the consumer and some of them bad for the manufacturer as well. Some of the Ways It forces manufacturers to build shoes to fit It is Wrong certain prices, instead of building shoes exactly as they ought to be built and letting the prices fix themselves. It prevents the manufacturer from reducing his retail prices when leather goes down a little (because he cannot make a reduc= tion of less than a full half-dollar) and yet it might make him put his retail price up one full half-dollar jump if leather went up ever solittle. It is a custom that compels you to pay in half-dollars when theprice might often be reckoned in quarters or dimes or nickels. That is to say, a shoe that could be sold at, say, $4.85, must either be “‘built up” to cost $4.50 or trimmed down to cost $4. In the first case you lose -in money ; in the second, you lose in quality. In short, it is a custom that blocks the way of the ‘Regal Idea” —which is to get Regal Shoes to the public at the narrowest possible margin of price over cost. reRegal Ran The crash of the collision is echoing all 'é“l:lrel:ei;(l)t Ovef It through the shoe trade.
