VERY LITTLE VELVET
The retail merchant -the man who has been cussed out mentally
try ao many of us because he's had to charge high prices for his goods -
has sonic problems on his hands. In a number of lines both prices and |
«des have been slipping The buyers’ market ls back, and competition (
gels constantly tougher And. as a general rule, the balance between
profit and loss is delicate
This is borne out by a study made by a life insurance company The
»
atudy deals with the financial operations of food chains, but the points
it streams, arc applicable In some degree to all kinds of retailing In the
«*ae of the food outlets, the average mark-up Ls a third less than before
the war. and averages 17 cents out of each consumer dollar taken In Of
that 17 cemts. close to 16 cents U spent for wages, rent, advertising,
taxes, shrinkage and spoilage, and other unavoidable costs. The balance
—one to one and one-half cents--Is all that Is left for profit The sur-
vey observes that a material drop In either prices or total volume would
icaull in Ted ink”, because increased wage and other costs have created
a breax -even point which Is much higher than before
The eatremely modest unit profit earned by retailers Is a logical de-
velopment The high dollar volume that has characterized postwar re-
tailing ho* made it possible to show a satisfactory total profit even
when unit profits are microscopic Then, the relentless and growing
furcr of competition has forced all merchants to offer greater induce-
wirnts -in price. In service, or. In so math Mm alaa—4n order to keep their
trade truo* inarching off down the street That couldn't happen In a
•controlled economy ft can and dors happen In a free economy
SHlMI'UtS* BEGGING
Th* Sacramento. California. Union makes timely comment on the
degeneration of independence in many states due to the current prac-
tice >f local governments begging public funds from Washington to pay
tors: otiUc.u.on:. This practice is parallel to that of a family that seeks
tr beyond Its means and then expects the ueighbors to pay the
Wits
The Union says Federal grants are. one by one. corrupting state leg- ,
wtatureK Our \jtgtsialure. in common with many others, tries to milk
th< Federal Treasury a little drier than other states
Can* of the helpless Ls traditionally a duty of the state Ho part of!
She duty. was mrrntly :Minted out by the at fouls Post-Dispatch. I
can be transferred to Washington without yielding something more to
the growtti of the central government ” |
The Union then pointed out that hardly had the California state lob-
byist* decamped from Washington "to which place they went to seek J
funds from the Feileral government to pay for California's aged and
needy, than at least 10 of the district's equally reputable citizens re-
ported an the Washington scene to get Federal fund.* for < 1 • Folsom ,
Dam. 2» the Deep Water Channel, (3» the Baeramento River and *♦> •
the American River
N<»w the Administration wants to add $350.*x».00t) a year of Fed
era! money to state funds for direct homr relief ThU reflects again
the belief of Federal matching grants is the only Incentive that will In-
duce the states to provide decently for their unemployable citizens and
other persons who cannot earn enough to live
'{■*ongr*'« is being asked to do for younger p*-*>ple m dLstress what
it is already doing for old people Whenever tlie hVdrral government
make* grants to states the legislators >f that slate are placed In the
position of spending money they have not It ad to raise freedom with- ,
mil n-spor.alhtilly
TTn* state should exhaust every one of Its responsibilities before
