i going to establish in this country1 a medieval system under which a man is not allowed to enter a business If hla prospective -competitors are' too soft or too. numerous to' stand his competition asks Business Week. That seems to be. what some of our price-fixing laws are leading up to. Business Week then cites a law in a Middle-Western state under which all car dealers are licensed if they make.

what, state officials consider, excessive trade-in allowances, may be denied renewal of their licenses, which amounts to forcing. them out. of business. Under such system, a business can become 100 per cent politically controlled no man can enter it without-political pull and approval. The magazine, adds If.

this Is good for auto dealers, what, about clothing stores and retail grocers and magazine publishers? What business will your son be able to enter? Your own business and no Are we to become a nhtion of hereditary castes? Many other kinds of laws attempt to fix prices; change the law of supply and demand, or lnterf ere with free and legitlmatet competition Thus, according to a summary, made by the Institute of more than' 800 bills. retailers were Introduced in estate legislatures In the brief period between January and February If of this year. Some of these laws advocated trade regulations others would create sajes taxes; others would restrict opeitionsi or levy class 'taxes! against' chain-stores. They represent unnatural interference with the established economic machine and penalise the consumer. Medieval is a good word for legislation of this kind.

Its benefits are non-ex latent and It Is without 1 social, or economic justification. v.
