* ‘Whe High Cost of Living ' : * 494 How to Reduce It. By Madison C. Peters. -Capyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Ereaing World). No. VII1.—The Des Moines Plan to Cut Down Expenses. 1S MOINES, Iowa, has a Mayor who believes it tp fils business to work for the interest of the people, and he eet to work to reduce the high cost of living by establishing @ public market, It was predicted that the peaple would not take kindly to deliver- ing theif own purchases—that the telephone and delivery wagon had put the old fashioned market out of business. The Des Moines plan has been a success. Bach Market day all etasses of people throng the market place, many of the poor people walking several miles, carrying their baskets, and many others using the street cars to carry home thelr purchases, Clerks and proprietors bring their Daskets, take their purchases ‘o their places of business and carry them home at night. « ‘omg line of auto- \biles Brings housewives to the market for their suppMes and the consume: PA} duying fruit and produce over the middiemen's heads at astonishing!) ¥ prices. The wonder expressed is where af the gatden truck comes from. Thi noticeable result of this public market is the conservation of fruit and vegetabi that were formerly wasted for lack of @ convenient market and decause of the discouraging reception given the producer when he tried to sell his products to the local commission men. Apples, plums, grapes and vegetables that formerly ‘were allowed to rot or were fed to the cattle now find their way to the market, to a ready sale and a good profit. What the Public Market Has Done. Before the public market opened in Des Moines the cabbages that farmers old for ® cents a dozen cost the consumer 10 cents each; for corn ¢or which the farmer received 9 cents @ dosen ears the housewife pald % cents. The cost to the consumer exceeded the sun received by the producer by anywhere from 100 to 0 percent. But when the new market was opened and the people returned to the old order there was a different tale toki. New potatoes, for which the storekeepers acked $2.80 @ bushel, were sold for $1.60; apples, which had been wold for $1 a bushel, seld for # to @ cents; the dest eating apples brought $1, ¢or which the store price was 92.00 a tushel. ‘The etore price of tomatoes was cut in half. The average drop in was @ to & per cent.; the farmers and the housewives went home with in their pockets. ‘She farmers had received more for thelr preduct housewives more for thelr money. The city put a clause in the market prohibiting purchase and resale by ‘hucksters, thus effectually keeping out tho middelman and allowing only producers to sell. They h&¥e solved the living problem in that city by bringing together the Producer and the consumer, and the result has been thet the prices in the stores have tumbied and Des Moines ts one of the few cities in the North where the average man can support hie family decently. All Southern cities have public markets. The Battle of the Middlemen. The Des Moines middlemen clubbed together and fought the plan, but the Mayor showed them that high prices meant high wages; that high prices ke} away prospective citizens and hindered the growth of the city, and that the est for all concerned was low prices, and that low prices were possible only (rough an open market. Finally, the city council passed an ordinance providing for @ municipal market, but there was no place to put it. And so the Mayor opened it in the City Hall Park. I believe that « public park or equare serves a ‘better purpose as a public market than ase loafing place for bums. High. prices in Des Moines constituted @ two edged sword, which when wielded by the middlemen cut doth the producer and consumer. The farmer * govlittie ¢or his products that in some cases it did mot pay him te harvest ‘That helped to make prices higher for the consumer by lessening the iy.

He had to pay 30 cents aplece for the barrels, and so was 9 cents out of pocket. If he could have sent them direct to @ public market the people would have been benefited, This incident explains why the hogs are petter fed than eilitone of: our people.
