A similar ralse In the prict of other food- stutfs would mean a total (ncrease of about $600,000,000 a year in the burdens of the consumer for fuod alone. Therefore It is plain that the Increase in prices Is o case of grand larceny and not of petit larceny. In following out clues the price of heef claims first attertion. It is not & new subject. More than fifty years ago people were asking why there was such a great margin between live cattle and a steak or roast. To settle the matter the Ameri- can Agriculturist of New York followed an average sized bullock through the shambles and on to the man who bought the steak and the roast. It was found that “the dressed beef cost upward of 10 cents a pound—which s at least 20 per cent more than the average retaller pays today. Yet when the man with the market basket came in he got his oy of porterhouse for 17 yents a pound, and bas round steak for less than 12 cents. Many retallers who pay 8 cents a pound for a carcess today sell the porterhouse at 25 cents and the round steak at 18. In this year of grace 1910 another bul- lock was followed through the shambles to the price-fixing of the retall cutter. Cattle quotations show that in the Chi- cago market for the week ending Jan- uary 15, the average price on the hoof was 6.5 cents a pound. A St. Louis but- fpher bought the carcass of an average steer for § cents a pound, and in order to disprove the conclusions of Secretary Wilson, published a detalled account of how he cut it up and sold it. It weighed 500 pounds and cost him $0. He sold the porterhouse steaks at 20 cents, sirloin and prime rib at 17% cents, round steak at 124 cents, and other cuts proportionately. He recelved $iL.85 for it at retail. The only trouble seems to be that he placed his prices at retail too low. Most people pay 25 cents for porterhouse, 20 cents for sirloin and rib, and 18 cents for round, with the other cuts in 'proportion. On this basls he Would sell $62.24 worth of beef from the carcass—a gross profit of over 45 per cent. Mark you, this with no change In his figures other thanm to in- crease his retall quotations to”‘what the average American ls new paying at the butcher shop. One“is not entirely dependent on Secre- tary's Wilson's figures or upon those of the St. Louls butcher to sfiow the gross profits of the retaller. The butehers have text books and they offer further corroboration, One of these Is “The Modern Butcher” and the author, a meat cutter of thirty years experience, shows how a carcass must be cut up and priced at retall in order to yield a profit of 20 per cent. In an $-cent car- cass, to yield profit, the porterhouse and sirloin must be retalled at 17 cents, and the round steak at 13 cents. In a S-cent car- cass the former must be sold at 18 cents and the latter at 15, with the other cuts in proportion. Let the reader compare/ these prices with those he pays and figure out his percentages. What obtains in beet prices is true of others meats. Chickens that sell for 12 cents a pound 180 miles from Washington bring 22 cents when they reach there. A young man residing In Washington is part owner of a farm in Virginia, within 160 miles of the national capital. He re- lates that when the corner grocer sells indifferent eggs at 40 cents a dozen, those on his farm gre bringing % cents. When apples sell at a dollar @ bushel on the farm, the reigning price at the corner THE BEE u Want to Krow of Living. grocery is $1.60 a bushel. The best country sausage brings 12 cents a pound on the farm and from 20 to 3 cents in the Wash- ington grocery. John A. Stewart of New York, relates how aspamgus ralsed in northern New York, sold for 3 cents a bunch on the farm, 6 cents a bunch in the neighboring village, and 4 cents a bumch in New York It is the same with the other things the grocer sells. The January quotation for matehes, retalling at two boxes for & cents, was $1.80 per 144 Loxes. The higrest grades of Java and Mocha coffee were quoted at 2 and 24 cents a pound, respectively, Bx- tra fancy dried peaches were priced at 9 cents a pound, the finest salmon at 18 cents per can, the best baked beans at $1.15 a dozen cans, 10-cent bottles of hor: radish at 62)% cents a dozen, tles of petroleurn jelly at 75 cents a dozen, Z-cent bottles of laudanum at $1.90 per dozen, Kpsom ralts at 2 cents a pound, and 50 on without end. It is plain, thercfore, that the retall food dealer gets a large gross profit. He lays heavy tribute upon the consumer, but what about his net profit? One sces but little evidence that he enjoys mueh of that Few grocers are getting rich and many of them go into bankruptcy. ~ Aye, there Is the rub. Competition, supposed to be the lifte of trade, has broken up the food re- talling business Into such little bits that each retaller must make an enormous protit to get a living out of his business. He must live whether he wells $5000 a ycar or $25,000. The smaller his sales the greator per cent he must add to each dollar's worth of business, and the larger his busi- ness the closer margin hq can give. The situation is the“same in other things which the consumer uses. A country mer- chant went to Baltimore to buy goods. He bought & sult of clothes at $4.50, which he retailed at $10; a Panama hat for $4, which retalled at $3. Collars at § cents a dozen, which retailed at $1.50 per dogzen. Dol bought for 39 cents a dozen were to be retafled at 10 cents each. Toys which would bring 25 cents each at retall were bought at $1.39 a dozen. Statistics show thai ihe best sewing machines cost only about $14 to make, and bicycles even les Shoe strings that are sold for 5 cents a pair cost 60 gents a gross. But with ail these figures, the average merchant 18 not growing rich. The retailer must pay his rent, his help and his de- livery expenses. Hin rent is higher be- eause the lot on which the building stands is worth twice as much as ten years ago. The landlord had to pay $ & day for the bricklayer and the plasterer, and $4 a day for the carpenter who erected the bullding. And o it goes all down the line. The farmer must have more for his beef cattle than he reallzed twenty years ago, for the corn he feeds them is worth twice as much, He must get more for his wheat than he did twenty years ago, for the labor he hires costs him as much again. The laborer must have twice as much as he had twenty years ago, for his clothes, his food and his reng heve doubled in price. Relative prices have increased relatively everywhere, but what diffrence does it make to the average individual it he earns a thousand dollars a vear and has to spend $900 for living, or Wwhether he earns $2,00 and has to spend 1,907 0 This thing of prices works some strange anemalies. Secretary Wilson says that be- yond a doubt, American food products are being sold cheaper abroad than at home, and that the glory of having the cheapest £00d Btuffs-in the world has passed from us. A, R Cahlll, a representative of the London Board of Trade, who Is investl- gating prices in America, says that he has discovered a riddle he ecannot solve, the American pays b cents for a fourteen ounce loaf of bread, while the Britisher, with his bread made of American wheat, gets a sixty-four ounce loaf for 10 cents’ It is difflcult to predict the outcome of the present hue and cry against the in- crease In the cost of living. The national DProtest of the consumer would undoubtedly be effective it it were carried forward with the same enthusiasm that marks its start. But as a rule the dear public, after being driven to desperation in some such matter, suddenly sits up on its hind legs and howls to the moon. It makes \the welkin ring for a space, then as suddenly forgets Its crusade and lapses into for- bearance and Inactivity. It Is to be hoped that in this instance the consumer will prove to be long-winded, that he will con- tinue to “holler” lustily and at length, but if thi= crusade does not prove to be a flash in the pan It will be contrary to the bistory of such movements.

ALL THE “MEAT” OF THE GOLDEN WHEAT AFFAIRS AT SOUTR OMAHA Paving Bonds Approved and Work Will Be Pushed. TALK OF ANNEXATION "HEARD Promoters of City Improvement Ex- pect Next Legislature to6 Accom~ plish Comsolidation of Two Cities, The city clerk received & communication yesterday from Spitzer & ocompany of ‘Toledo, O., with the information that the history of the bond lssue’of §126,000 for paving purposes and for the election of additional fire hajis “and 'the “equipment for the same had been ‘6pproved. The bonds will be shipped tb South Omaha at once for the signatures’ of the mayor and city elerk. The money will ‘be avail- {@ble immediately thereafter. The con- tractors for the several paving districts are planning to begin the work at’ the earlest possible moment as paving opera- tions are ahead that will compel rapld construction during the entire summer. The city clerk is preparing the adver- tisement for the additional $160,000 bond issue to be offered as soon as the council passes the bond ordinances which were introduced at the last meeting. These bond issues with the former- issues wijl bring up the totals to fully $250,000. It 1s evident the property owners realize that the time s opportune.' One of the most common reasons for desiring paving at present is the uniform bellet that with the next session of the legislature the cities will be -united under one govern- ment. - Therefore, from the viewpolnt of South Omaha, they wish to have the paving improvement well advanced. Such is the argument advauced dally by pro- moters of paving operations. Many Changes in Poll Books. The city clerk has taken up the task of preparing the poll books for the approach- ing spring election. He Is also preparing a certified list of the registration to be used by the chairmen of the central commit- tees. In preparing the poll books cognizance is taken of the new wards and precinct divisions which have to be observed at the approaching election. The clty now has seven wards and polling places will have to be provided in different localities in some of the cases, as the ward lines have been very much changed. For instance, the polling place for the Second precinct of the Sixth ward under the old division is now In thie First precinct of the Fourth ward. The polling place in the Becond preeinct of the Third ward under the for- mer division is now in the Beventh ward. The same lines of division will bave to be observed in the preparation of the lists of electors. Funeral of Samuel McRann, The funeral of Samuel McRann swas held at 2 p. m.

Sterling Back at Bank with Grip Camps on Steps Before Opening Hour to Get Rest of Thet Eighteen Million Dollars. W. H. Sterling, who asked a teller of the First National bank for $2,00000 Wednes- day morning, was. camping . on, the steps of the bank this, morning before it opened. He had a grip in his hand. On his former visit to the bank he told the teller the Ffrst National had $18,000,00 of his, and sald e saw the teller then counting it. It is sup- posed he had returned with the grip to get the full amount. The man was observed by the janitor, who, telephoned the police, and he was taken to the station. Sterling Wednesday was taken first to the police station, and then to his home at 1820 Sherman avenue, where he appeared to be recovering rapidly from Nis aberration. It was hoped that this would prove temporary, but in- stead he broke out of the house at ai early hour this morning. Sterling is not regarded as dangerous, but such a vagary as demanding several millions at a bank teller's window Is re- garded as being fraught with dangerous possibilities for the man making the de- mand.
