But situations are pption, rather than the rule. The latest comprehensive income tax data are available is 1944. In that all retail trade cor- porations averaged 6.7 per cent before taxes. Even ar 1046, when profits in retailing were as much as 10 statement, pormally large clearly the year for whi year lush ye at rec ghs, very few stores had per cent before taxes left after meeting all expenses available in the i h d on after-taxes basis, the margin was much sm. r. 4 xamination of the available data reveals that the large increase in retail profits in 1946 reflected primarily the heavy volume of business done and the elimination of the excess profits tax rather than an increase in margin on the goods they sold. Popular confusion apparently stems from the fact that the experienced special sales in which substantial price cuts have been made. Now it is being assumed that these special situations can be An understanding of how a retail store important. On a 30 per cent gross margin able 30 cents of the average sales dollar public often has generalized operates is it has ava to meet all its expenses after paying the cost of the goeds sold.

He also said he, Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt were the | |only Presidents who were, as he implied, really per- | fishermen from boyhood up. One m find sistent material for a dissenting footnote in Charles G(m(l-’i‘ speed’s “Angling in America.” Mr Goodspeed says | ively that Theodore Roosevelt “was not a fish- he cnly fished for food.

Arthur was the most accomplished angler on our Presidential list.” But in fishing there should be none but good- humored controveries. Mr. Hoover, his friends ; know, is a good fisherman and an admirable compan- jon on a fishing trip. May he continue to find pleasant streams and trout worthy of his art. Under False Colors (Cincinnati Enquirer) It is about time that the chairman of the Re- publican National Committee should be naming names of so-called members of the party who are doing their _best to obstruct legislation that the voters of this | country clearly intended should be enacted when they | sent Republican majorities to both houses of Congress in the last election. H Sen. Robert A. Taft did a great service to the country in sponsoring the labor bill that bears his name and in engineering its passage in the Senate by a whooping majority of 68 to 24—a majority so jreat | that most observers believe there is little doubt that | the Senate will insist on-the legislation even if the | President sces fit to veto the bill. Three so-called | Republican Senators—Wayne Morse of Oregon, William | Langer of North Dakota and George W. Malone of | Nevada—voted against the bill i In last year's congressional campaign the Re- | publican Party made certain promises to the voter: and it was on the strength of these promises that the candidates of that party were able to wrest control | of Congress from the Democrats, Among the most | important of those promises were pledges to corr abuses of OPA, and to write fair labor, and tax law: The responsible leadership of the party has been doin its best to fulfill those promises. A few Senators who sit on the Republican side of the Senate ck have been deing their best to obstruct this pr The time has come for Republican leaders to tell a few Senators that frem now on they must travel under true colors.
