Show I : SUPPLY INCREASES I ' ' ' SO DOES PRICE IN I THIS IMO TOWN H "I wouldn't toll the name of tho town for real dollars," said a H highway engineer of the U. S. H ' bureau of public roads, "but that h. lrttlo town Is in Idaho, and it cer- gfff talnly shed some light on tho way M some high prices are engineered. Bj Tne switchman's strike had tied Hrl - up the town so that shipments of ii butter and eggs could not bo made M from there Into Ogden and Salt El Lake, so the local stores Immedi- Pj ately put up the price of butter n and eggs and refuted tho opinion ; I of tho elementary student of po- J Iltlcal economy, who thinks that j prices are altogether determined J by the lnter-actlon of supply and I demand. Hero was an Instance j of a large supply calling for an J increased price. I would mention M the name of the town If I hadn't Vn to go back there In a few weeks." Kt on |
