citizen.
PROBLEMS OF
Certain problems wliich confront the retailers were discussed
at the annual meeting of the National Retail Dry Goods asso-
ciation. The charge that retailers as a body are profiteers and that
they resisted efforts to bring prices down to lower levels is not
novel. .The retailers have been able to make out a"giod base
in their' favor' although' it is not denied that certain of their nuirw
her have not been without fault in this respect. But the competitive
character of the business and the absence of any possible price-
fixing combinations among them are of themselves a refutation.
The retailers are agreed however that the cost of doing business
as it if carried on is altogether too high and makes necessary a
. larger mark up than is desirable under existing conditions.
Aside altogether from the larger expenses which the retailers
now have to meet because of high rents increased wages and
burdensome taxation they face a charge for service which is
becoming more rather than less onerous. All these things enter
into the matter of the prices which must be charged. At different
; times in various portions of the country efforts have been had
to make a separate item of this charge for service.
Hut it has not been successful in the larger centers except
with regard to foodstuffs in what are called neighborhood stores.
In the course of the last half century or so buyers have been edu-
cated up to the point of insisting on conveniences which their
forebears never had or desired
t The fact remains that every service rendered by a store
costs something and those who expend the money must be reim-
bursed. A recognition of" this should tend to restrain some of the
uninformed criticism which has been prevalent of late New York
Times. .
TWO VIEWS OF THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS.
J1 Henry Cabot Lodge. U. S. senator in a 'speech to republican
I members of the Massachusetts legislature February 14 1922:
i "I am speaking within bounds when I say that no congress
in time of peace has ever shown such an amount of important.
I effective and remedial legislation as has been enacted by the
present congress since it has been in session."
The Boston Transcript leading republican newspaper of Sen-
ator Lodge's state in an editorial March 3 1922:.
"Today the record of the house of representatives in the first
year of the new administration stamps it unmistakably as the
worst house in twenty years. It has done more things that it
; ought not to have done and it has left undone more things that
it ought to have done than any house of representatives' 'con-
trolled either by the republican or democratic party that Wash-
ington has seen in the last decade. It has broken more pfedges
f it has succumbed to more pernicious propaganda. It has tres-
: passed in more directions upon the executive authority than has
any one of its predecessors in twenty years. Its presiding officer
is helpless its leaders are leaders in name only and for the most
; part they represent either the worst or the most stupid in . either
( political camp .today. Here and there in our New England clele-
; gation there is a congressman who is an exception to the rule
. ; and there will be ample time to call these exceptions by name
j before the primaries. Taken as a whole however the house of
representatives as controlled by the republican party if judged by
its record of date is unworthy another lease of life."
