WILSON HARDER The Federal Trade Commission tire ruling effective in April furnishes a pattern by which monopoly growth may be curbed. While the efforts of the tire industry are perhaps more spectacular percentage-wise, the same practices are being followed in other industries to the detriment not only of free trade, but also to the public. The FTC order you'll hear a lot about rules there is a limit to the preferential discount that any dealer is entitled to for volume purchases. The order sets up a 20,000 pound carload as the maximum quantity any dealer needs take at one time to qualify for the maximum discount allowed by the manufacturer. An FTC study initiated in 1947 through the efforts of the National Federation of Independent Business, brought to light some the tires, and they receive preferential discounts from the manufacturers of from 26 to 40% more than the independent dealers. This means that dealer profits on some tires amounted to two-thirds of the price, but only 63 dealers were allowed this profit. In making this ruling, the FTC invoked a section of the Robinson-Patman Act, for the first time in the 16 years it has been enacted into law. Of interest in this fight which started when the House Small Business Committee in 1927, urged by George Burger, N.F. L.B. vice president, called upon Justice Department and the FTO to investigate the situation, is the bitter delaying action fought by the Big 4: Goodrich, Goodyear, Firestone and U.S. Rubber. They fought to the end, despite the fact that on the face of the evidence, it would appear they would welcome the opportunity to cut discounts to a favored few outlets. Neither can it be presumed the Big 4 has been selling to these few preferred customers at a Barbara Gallaway, State FHS President, was chosen to be one of three delegates who will have the honor of attending the National FHA convention.

Three Anaheim Future Farmers will present the AU chapter in an FFA public speaking and cooperation quiz contest to be held next Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Santa Ana high school. The three Ag students who are in this contest are: Robert Van Dyke, Rodger Burrows and Larry Pischbeck. AUHS wishes these students the best of luck. The Senior Dance scheduled for a limit to the preferential discount that any dealer is entitled to for volume purchases. The order sets up a 20,000 pound carload as the maximum quantity any dealer needs take at one time to qualify for the maximum discount allowed by the manufacturer. An ETC study initiated in 1947 through the efforts of the National Federation of Independent Business, brought to light some startling figures. In 1947 there were slightly more than 48,000 tire dealers in the country, buying from 21 manufacturers. 98% of these dealers, or slightly more than 47,000, do 52% of the business. In 1926 98% of the dealers did 90% of the business, and there were more dealers. However, as the report showed, these 47,000 dealers on whom the majority of the nation's auto owners rely, have been severely penalized. There are 63 dealers, or less than 1/5 of 1% who sell 30% of National Federation of Independent Business They fought to the end, despite the fact that on the face of the evidence, it would appear they would welcome the opportunity to cut discounts to a favored few outlets. Neither can it be presumed the Big 4 has been selling to these few preferred customers at a loss. Therefore, the only conclusion that can be placed on their opposition is that the public has long been overcharged for tires. The Office of Price Stabilization, better known as the Office of Price Scuttling, has announced this ruling upsets their procedure and indicates they may attempt to block enforcement. Such action, however, could reveal information showing conclusively that despite all the propaganda for monopoly on the grounds that the public is saved money it will be proved the public "pays through the nose" for this type of business control.
