From a trust @tandpoint, something is to be done about this case brought by the government against the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flakes company. The object of the suit is to prevent the company “from controlling the price of the breakfast food after it leaves the hands of the manufacturer.” When one thinks, futuritively, of the sequential possi- Sn Senne ee Dilities of a supreme court affirmation of those governmental potty to say | Bobody.” contentions, one is inclined, at first flash anyway, Suppose the supreme court, im the course of time, to be sure, affirms that a manufacturer cannot, legally fix the} selling price of his products, then how—just supposing the case—will the Standard Oil company be able to fix the sell- ing price of oi!? Or how will the Sugar trust fix the selling price of sugar? Or, again, how will the Steet trust fix the) price of steel? Or how—buat why go on? The questions are mere time consumers. Resiles, it is not our business ta find out how they do it. That is their business, and it is only for us to) hope they will sweat an hour or so while they are at it. It is) enough for us to know they will do it before they get through. | PARCEL POST MAKES GOOD Parcel Post haa made good.
