Attorney-«General Palmer explained. it
will be a sort of jury of public
opinion. which will try to set fair
priceu for necessities. and which will
keep t he dealers under surveillance.
'as well aslcrcuting public opinion
untavuable to any kind 0! pronteer-
lug. When the committee is fully or-
ganized. and matters havebeen talked
over. Hr. Scovllle expects that a start
at stopping any evcessive prices will
be mm mh’csfigaccm . .
The central points for action. he be-
lieved. would be New Haven. Hart-
ford. Bridgepon and Waterbury. as
he figures that anything accomplished
in those cities will make itself felt
throughout the whole state. in fact.
with only minor variations. due to
{Night rates. a price fixed as fair in
these cities must rule throughout the
whole of Connecticut.
The many difficulties already dis»
cussed keep Mr. Scoville from bciu‘
very sanguine as to the rcuultu that
may be obtained. In the lat place.
as he goes over his problems. diverts
will be needed to determine what isa
reasonable price for the various au-
ticles of manufacture. Epoch“! will
this be true of dry goods. with the
may varieties that look alike. but
are said to be made of material vary-
ing in quality.
Again, it will require an econ-Ian
amount of line discrimination. he
continued. to deckb wha’odu reach
the price where they cannot be called
necessities. Can a deal. aching $25
shoes be prosecuted. or agitated
' it the buyer wants and is
willing to pay for that quality? That
is one or the perpleau m
which Mr. Scoville tetra. At the colt

known deulav did not soc just how
this could be done.
Again. what makes a reasonable
profit for one daulermlat bonan-
tirely WMNO and excessive
profit for another. llr. Soovfile fig-
ures. Perhaps the greatest diflicuity
is that Sir. Scovilles mmmittce’s
power will stop at the boundaries of
this state. unlcuu machinery h set up
at .W'ashington. by which interstate
action may be taken there. Adeulcr
here may sell an article or commodity
at what seems like an excessive profit.
but he may answer that he has mid
a Massachusetts or New York State
manufacturer a high price. thus he-
nessitating a high rental price. or he
may have bought his stuff from low
eral outof—the—state dealers. The
Cbnnectlcut committee has no power
to summon a Massachusetts manufac-
tured before it to and out but what
his prices are. ,
The big thing which Mr. Scoville an-
ticipates as a result 0! the formation
-ot his committee. is that fair prices
may be fixed concerning the moat
necessary of necessities. and that by
acting as a jury or public opinion. and
by keeping the profitecring question

? keep prices. down until. by the' natural
‘ process oi supply and demand. and A

‘prices will drop back to those of
