Washington, Xugust 3 -The test!
mony given by E \ Calvin of Hous
ton before a senate <'<>mniittoe inves-
tigating the cost of living in the Dis-
trict of Columbia revealed that the
producer was not the otic that is re
■t»oiirtlbh> for the high retail price of
commodities lie declared that the
margin <>t profit from the producer to
the consumer was entirely too wide.
Mr Calvin did not say where the
fault rested lie brought before the
committee sample* of gingham which
lie purchased In Washington which he
weighed to show they contained but
15 ounce* of cotton, which at an av-
erage price of 27 cents per pound, i;
farmer received lor cotton last year,
meant that the producer received but
■ > l 2 cents for the cotton in the sam-
ples. Calvin paid the Washington re-
tailer $ l .50 for them.
Samples of voiles for which lie paid
$3 IS contained but IN and 17 cents
worth of cotton. He also weighed up
cotton sox and cotton handkerchiefs
to show there was larger margin be-
tween the cotton cost and the retail
prices In the matter of vegetables
a high rate of profiteering was pres
ent, Mr Calvin stated, as lie related
the purchases he had made and fig-
ured against his cost the price re-
ceived by the producer
No longer can the t inner who re-
ceived a guaranteed price for wheat
lived by the government be accused of
getting the larger end when it came
to the price of bread. Calvin said The
! fanner received for hls wheat a price
that was equal to flour at $9 per bar
rel. whereas the bread was being sold
to the consumers on the basis of flour
at $32 and 135 per barrel
