FOOD PRIECS
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—Two agen
cies have been put into operation in
this state that have tended to check
the rapidly rising price of food pro
ducts. These have been, first, the ac
tivity of the state market commission
in organizing producers’ associations
and, in some cases, fixing the maxi
mum prices at which products might
be sold; and, second, the establishing
of free markets. The state weights
and measures act, the net container
law, and the state standardization act,
the latter affecting chiefly fresh fruits
and berries, have also operated direct
ly and indirectly to reduce the price
of food products as well as to enable
the purchaser, both consumer and mid
dleman, to have a more adequate idea
of the quality and quantity of the
goods purchased.
The state market commission’s
method of operation is perhaps best
illustrated in the manner in which it
very materially reduced the price of
fish. Although the full operation of
the machinery perfected by the mar
ket commission in this industry has
been interrupted, and prices have
again risen, its success while in full
force well illustrates the power of the
state to regulate the price of food
products, and complete relief from the
present limitiations will be sougnt
from the next legislature.
The state market director, acting in
his official capacity as head of the
state market commission, organized
the Northern California Fish Ex
change, in which the fishermen and
wholesale and retail fish dealers are
members. The exchange is managed
by a fish committee which meets daily
to fix the maximum price of fish, this
committee being composed as follows:
One wholesale dealer, one retail deal
er, one fisherman, one state fish and
game commissioner, and one member
of the state market commission. It
was found under this arrangement
that it would be possible to reduce the
price of fish from 25 to 33 per cent,
and during the brief time that the
plan was in full operation prices were
greatly reduced. Fish was sold 'as
low as 5 and 6 cents a pound, and
from that up to 15 cents, as compared
with higher priced fish that retailed
at 20 to 25 cents a pound.
“This was the first time in history
so far as is known, that a commodity
was marketed by a method in which
the consumer, the retailer, the whole
saler and the producer, all had a say
as to the price, the interests of each
being protected through the control of
the state market commission, acting
under the law of the state,” said Ed
gar Allen Forbes, secretary of the
estate market commission, in an inter
view with a representative of The
Christian Science Monitor. “The re
sult,” said Mr. Forbes, “was remark
ably beneficial to all concerned.”
After the plan had been in opera
tion for a time one of the large mhole
salers withdrew from the organiza
tion, the custom of dumping the fish
into the bay rather than allowing them
to be put on sale at a lower price was
resumed, 20,000 pounds a day being
disposed of in this way, and the prices
went up again.
“This situation, however,” said Mr.
Forbes, “will without doubt be reme
died. We regard fish as one of the
natural resources of the state, and
believe that the people have a right
to regulate the sale as well , as the
catch.”
