HARRY NELSON, MERCHANT TAILOR
Government Ownership and Operation
Will Demonstrate Its Infeasibility
By John W. Weeks, Former United States Senator From Massachusetts
The labor question is difficult to adjust fairly to
the laborer and to the employer, and no less difficult on
the farm than elsewhere. The laborer must remember
that in the end he is paying for the excessive cost of
his own labor.
The cost of living will be high as long as the cost
of production is high, and the cost of production will
be high as long as the cost of living is high. They have
got to move up and down together.
Some classes, like clerks and professional men, do
. not get the increase in wages to the same degree that
the men in the other walks of life do, and it produces hardships and dis
content. Then there are men who refuse to work unless they can get the
rate of pay they know some one else is getting.
When the city resident feels that he is paying an exorbitant price for
some food product, he must remember that the farmer has frequently
serious losses which must be added to the cost of production or there will
be no production.
Altogether I find a great number of interesting problems in connec
tion with trying to farm as I am doing it. I have a suspicion that those
who have told me that farming along the lines I am pursuing cannot be
done profitably may be right, but I am going to give it a good test and
learn some things from definite experience which are surmised by most
people.
If I find that farming under the conditions I am attempting to carry
on is a failure from the financial standpoint, is it not reasonable to sup
pose that even an enterprise of this kind, undertaken on even such a small
scale where the labor is not furnished by the employer personally, is a
small illustration of the futility of attempting large enterprises under
similar conditions as, for example, in matters of government ownership
and operation where all labor and all materials used must be purchased?
If the individual cannot do this profitably on a small scale, how is
it possible for the government to do it, knowing as we do that every step
the government takes is a little more expensive than that taken by a
corporation or individual ?
I think that it is dawning upon even those who have been advocating
government ownership and operation that it is impossible for it to conduct
industrial operations economically. Of course the cost, in many cases,
i may be passed along to the public, and, in all cases, in the end the public
pays for the excessive cost, whether the operation is conducted by the
farmer, manufacturer, or the government. But if the cost of government
production is greater than in the ease of a corporation or individual, why
should the public he content or willing to accept the general proposition
of government ownership and operation?
I am satisfied that, as far as possible, ,we must get back to the indi
vidual who personally conducts his enterprise. The one-man farm will
be more popular and more successful than a farm of any other size or
character. People must necessarily, with the reduced number of hours
which employees work, live more simply, and, perhaps, that result is
desirable.__

Prices above quoted are all for No. 1 best grade furs. Lower grades, in

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities. ■
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
