By RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 Some

genius in Green River, Wyo, decid-|

ed a few vears age that business would be better in the loeal stores if peddlers could be kept from selling door to door. So the town passed an ordinance forbidding home solicitation except

by specific invitation of the house-!

holder,

The ordinance was taken to state

courts and upheld. Since then hundreds of cities have passed similar

measures. Green River and its ordi-|

nance have become so famous that the city had te begin charging for copies of the law; the demand was burdening its budget.

Trirckers Win Point

There is nothing in the record to show how much local merchants have benefited, if at all, rom this trade restriction. But there is plenty in the record to show how the efforts of one Business to hep itself have hurt others. Colorada truckers, Tor instance, wanted out-of-state truck competition barred or minimized and had a law passed. Then came a day when Colorado potato growers needed & Yarge supply of tricks to move then crop te market. Thev couldn't get out-of-state truckers, even when they offered to pay the tax themselves Nathanael! H. Engle assistant di rector of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, in a speech in Colorado a short time ago explored the possibilities of this trend carried to its logical conclusion,

Predicts Developents

It Colorado should eventually bar all the products of other states, and should become boycotted hy all the others in retaliation, this is what would happen, Mr. Engle said: The Colorade sugar beet industry would shrink te the small extent needed to supply sugar. Only enough coal te warm the people of the state and run its ndustry would be taken from the famous mines that have supplied great sections of the country, more icebere lettiice or Pascal celerv or Rocky Ford cantalopes would find their way to cities east west. rmoueh hee! and hides for Col oradans, and the rest of the cattle industry would vanish, No more summer tourists And on the other hand: “How long could you run your automobiles on ‘the gasoline and oil produced and refined in Colorado? asked Mr. Engle “Tf you could surmount that probtem. what would you @e for automobiles when your present cars wore out? establish your own automobile industry, ¥ venture to say that very few Of your working men would be

driving their own cars to work un-|

der those conditions. Why? BeCause an automobile industry, in order to make cars which will sell at a price which the average eitizen can pay, must have the advantage not merely of the market of a single state, but of many staves.

Chain Stores Clove

“Tha cost of producing cars to supply the wants of a single state would be excessive, and only the very teh could afford the luxury of car ownership. What is true of the auntomobiie industry would be tre of many other industiies as well.” No state has gone so far, ably none will But 20 states and 50 cities now nave anti-chair-store license taxes another method of hampering free

“Ihe Federal Government owes the duty to police the channels of interstate trade and protect it rom the racketeer, the monopolist, and the price fixer,” Nur.
