Six Months, $1; Ye&f, \$i Entered as second class mail matter in the Post Office at Preeport, N. Y.,'under Act of March 8, 1879.. Are Prices Higher? Before consumers engage in a buyers' strike they should familiarize themselves' with all the facts. We are unwilling to pay exorhitant prices for food or other merchandise, and do not intend to do so, hut we intend to study individual items before going out on a limb. Members of the American Labor Party, who staged a demonstration here on Saturday are not carrying on their campaign so carefully- They fail to see that is cases where a subsidy was paid, prices in some instances though higher than they were do not exceed very much previous costs plus the subsidy which they paid in hidden taxes. Take butter for instance. For months it sold at 11- cents for a quarter of a pound, and as few c6uld get more than that amount at a time, this meant people were paying 56 cents a pound. At the same lime farmers were, receiving 14, cents a pound subsidy. This meant Vhnl each pound of hutler costs 70 cents, though the con- sumer did not reali/e it. He was paying the difference in his income tax or another levy. In addition he was paying interest on the bonds sold to pay the dairyman and also taxes to .imorti/e those bonds, so likely the price of a pound of butter \was more than 70 cents. It cer- tainly was more than the 69 cents 5nme local merchants were sell- ing butter for during the past week-end. The same is true of meat and many other commodi- ties. Consequently we are of the rtpinion that if time is taken in Capping ceiling prices back on some articles, these prices will Adjust themselves and they will He lower than jhfiy_ _wcte. .under the regimentation of Chester A.

Only the comptroller of the Town of Hempslcad was interested in them, and he'was in a position to know that while sub- scriptions were numbered in the hundreds, thousands of papers are distributed weekly. However, in the midst of the hub-bub in Washington over the revival of O.P.A., the Senate passed a measure, previously approved by the House, placing weekly papers on the same basis as dailies by requiring that in filing their an- nual statement of ownership, they also include a sworn statement .a 1 -- to their paid circulation. The measure was signed by President Harry S. Truman on July 2. The Leauer wun its present pre- paid circulation is going to cause -f wonderment i:i Washington as to what kind of a village Freeport is with its 25.000 population, when only a few hundred subscribe to its weekly paper, unless we can make a-better showing. Papers in Baldwin, Hempstead and Rockville Centre will show figures in the thousands. Why shouldn't Free- port's paper do the same? To compare with weeklies in the communities named, The Leader should have a pakt-up subscriptions list of at. least 3,000, but as -we are giving away close to 6,000 copies..a week, Freeport should go ahead of the other villages, 4,000 or more, Herewith is a blank to be used in .sending- in subscriptions. All .those received will take effect on Sept 1.
