Oklahoma City, ^August 18.—
That little profiteering exists
here "in any line of business" was
the written statement made by
Howard E. Figg, state fair price
administrator before his depar-
ture Saturday for Washington,
where he is to be assistant to
Judge C. B. Ames.
l-'igg, however, expressed his be-
lief that there are "too many
profits"—that food and clothing
pass through too many hands be
tween producer and consumer —
and recommended legislation to
cope with that problem instead of
profits.
His statement follows:
"After one week's investi-
gation into the problem of tlw
high cost of living. I am
thoroughly convinced there is
no great amount of profiteer-
ing being done in any line of
business. I am more thor-
oughly convinced that the im-
mediate way to reduce the
high cost of living is by the
elimination of so great a num-
ber of turn-overs between
the producers and the con-
sumer. In other words there
are too many profits. I hope
to see certain legislation pass-
ed that will help to eliminate
these factors in the great .ad-
vance of prices in the past
few years. The producer is
receiving far more for his pro-
ducts than ill pre-war times.
Labor in all lines of business
average about a 50 per cent in-
crease. I he increased price
of the producer and the in-
creased cost of labor does not
begin to justify the increased
price in any commodity to the
purchaser. To permanently
relieve the high cost of living
| and to reduce conditions to
I normal, it is my opinion that it
j will be necessary to go to the
i grass roots and gradually
work to the head waters.
There must be a correspond-
ingly decrease at all points.
| Prices now as always, are gov-
| erned by supply and demand.
I There is existing the world's
greatest shortage in a great
many commodities. I here
, cannot be expected any great
I reduction in these, but as stat-
I ed before, it is my hope to
see some of the 'turn-overs
i now allowed, are eliminated."
