The distance averages something like 1,000 miles. Heavy and unavoidable processing and transportation costs are involved. Yet the producers of the livestock actually get 53 cents out of each dollar the consumers of the country spend for meat. This, incidentally, is a much higher percentage than for foods as a whole, as shown by Department of Agriculture figures. There is no waste in the country's packing industry. Another point is important. Lately there have been sharp declines in hog prices But pork prices at retail have gone down to a lesser extent. There is no mystery why this is so. Costs of processing, transportation, and distribution which amount to 47 cents out of each dollar paid for meat at retail do not go down when livestock prices go down. Indeed, in the case of meat, these costs have risen steadily for instance, the wage for common labor in the packing industry is nearly triple the 1948 level. Whether livestock prices rise or fall there are many costs which remain the same or increase, and over which nobody in the meat industry-eith-er packers or retailers has any control. The costs are there and they have to be paid in order to get perishable foods int consumption. By the same token, when the livestock price trend is upward the opposite usually happens meat prices rise more slowly than livestock prices. In either situation, both producer and consumer get the best break possible. to HOW SHALL WE PAY FOR HIGHWAYS? It has been accurately stated that everyone wants more and better highways but no one wants to pay for them. At the same time, it is obvious that huge sums are going to be spent on new highway problems and that the financing prob lem will have to be solved one way or another. President Petersen of the Standard Oil Company of Califor ma has offered a suggestion. It is based on the idea that a mod ern, expanded highway system should le paid for out of taxes levied upon more of the people and products benefitting from good roads. This, as he put it, would "include all motor vehicles -automobiles, trucks, busses, and trailers. All accessories-tir- es and tubes of all sizes, batteries, spark plugs, and the like." It would also involve additional taxes on the owners of roadside property who gain from highway building, and on paving ma terials and equipment In addition, he had something to say about the emphasis on gasoline and other motor fuel taxes as a source of highway iunus l liese taxes are high now and, as he observed, "any sub stantial increases . . . might well push the tar up to the point oi dimunsning returns. He made still another suggestion-th- at the federal govern ment retire from the field of motor fuels taxation and leave it to the states. The states, for their k all high part, should way user taxes for highway construction purposes only. They should never be diverted to other purposes. The whole point is eo extend the tax base so as to cover as many highway beneficiaries as possible as a way of raising the neeaeu money. from upwards of 30 affiliated sportsmen groups over the state are expected to be present for this important yearly gath ering of he state's organized sports car-mar- Midvale Sentinel - $2.50 peryr. n 5i i W em M (JAM WHAT A VALUE , WXf H If i I n ' I JV I II II SEE YOUR NEAREST OLDS MOD I LE DEALER PUSH-DUTTO- N automatic sewing machine MUSIC for ENJOYMENT h !
