compluiucd that the fair-price list was
unfair, thut it made them appear to be
profiteers und that they could not buy
clothing at wholeuale for the ctinimittce's
retnil nriee. the t. liieuco dealers ex
plained.
The clothinc on sale here was all
purchased many months ago, none beinc
bought within the last six months. The
men's suits, for example, nre of two,
cIhsscs, cotton and wool mixtures ami
till -wool shoddy.
When the merchants acreed on (lie
fair-price list each placed u complete
Hue of this class of clothinc on sale,
regardless of the who!salo cost, After
the present supplies are exhausted no
more will be imiltablc, it is said.
"The bic buylnc power of stores
here, combined with the fact that they
carry very large stocks and tnkc ad
vnntacc of special bargains in the
wholesale market, made this nrlce list
possible," according to D.K. Kelly,
manager of one of the biggest Chicago
department stores and netinc chairman
of the fair-price committee.
"The lncrchnuts in smaller cities arc
right when they say they cannot buy
now at wholesale at prices as low uh i
our fair-price list. AVe couldn't,
either. We lixed this list nml made a
special drive for the man and woman
who want low-priced clothing.
i "Our store nud the other bic down-'
I town stores bae bargain 'subwn
basements, where they sell this class
of clothing. The prices iu the subwajs
for men's suits range from our 'fulr
price', minimum of SlM.f.O to $10.
"The cheapest wool suit, moderately
well tailored, on sale In the regular
iclotlilng departments today is priced nt
I $.10. The average well-dreiscd business
i man cannot bs outfitted for less thuu
I $"(" to $85 for a suit.
"Trices for tho dais of goods cov
I ered by the 'fnir-pricc' list have in
creased less than for any other line.
j The suits we are selling nt $-'4.f0 would
have retailed at .flli in 1014, showiug
an increase of about JiO per cent since
before the war. The suits that sells
today for $.0 would have sold nt St'u
before the war. giving a eleur 100 per
ceut increase."

To try to control railroad
rates by arbitrarily limiting
profits is to put tho manager
whomakes his profits by effi
ciency and economy on tho'
same level as the one who
tries to accomplish the samo
result through extortionato
charges.
Iladletj Railroad Secvritiet
Comm'itiion ; Ittport to tht
PrmdentlOU.
THE old-time pack-baarer could carry a
hundred pounds ten miles a day.
The railroad is the modern pack-bearer. For
every employee it carries 2,000 times as much.
Back of each "railroad worker there is a
$10,000 investment in tracks and trains and
terminals, with steam and electricity harnessed
like a great beast of burden.
Without this mighty transportation machine
the railroad worker could do no more than the
old-time packer. But with it he is enabled to
earn the highest railroad wages paid in the
world, while the country gains the lowest-cost
transportation in the world.
The modern railroad does as much work for
half a cent as the pack-bearer could do for a
full day's pay.
The investment of capital in transportation
and other industries increases production,
spreads prosperity and advances civilization.
To enlarge our railroads so that they may
keep pace with the Nation's increasing pro
duction, to' improve them so that freight may
be hauled with less and less human effort a
constant stream of new capital needs to
be attracted.
Under wise public regulation the growth of
railroads will be stimulated, the country will .
be adequately and economically served, labor
will receive its full share of the fruits of good
management, and investors will be fairly
rewarded.

rather In tho recommendations to be

Par T' To Hap Prohibition
Senator I3tl wards hns taken particu
lar pains with tho portion of his nil
dresi dealing with the tubject of pro
hibition, and it is understood has taken
stroug position against the prohibi
tion amendment und either federal or
state enforcement legislation. The most
striking fealuro of tho address in this
respect will bo the, recommendation
that the stale enact h law permitting
the munufactiire and snlc of alcoholic
beverages containing not more than u
fixed maximum ot alcohol.
The underlying purpose of this legis
lation is to raise directly the question
of btutc rights us they may bo affected
by either the prohibition amendment or
the Volstead enforcement net passed by
Congress.

To get the best results from your belts you
should run them easy or slack, and treat them

Think of the time wasted In your Works due to belts break.

Where do they come from, all this multitude

rately estimated, bought, traced, checked,
paid for? Or do you use the modern method
of placing one requisition, paying one bill
for all?
When you buy your mechanical equipment
and supplies from The Fairbanks Company,
your order covers not only certain items, but
dependable service as well. Deliveries that
you can count on usually completing an
order in a single shipment are a3 much a
part of "FAIRBANKS O. K." as is high
quality of the goods themselves.
Here in your logical market-place your
own city is one of 22 conveniently lo
cated Fairbanks Branch Houses, with com
plete stocks of Fairbanks scales, hand trucks,
valves, gas engines, power transmission, and
many other lines. With this reservoir at your
