M ! i I □LUTIQN TO TAILOR PROBLEM IN ADAMS PLAN N EDITORIAL EXPRESSION facing » committo« from thp Student Welfare ConmiUee »nd a committee appointed by local Utlora is a great o W >ortuaity to Pdrform a sarrke for the pidW' My la reducing rates oa tailor wtok. Earlier la the year, tafl+n i»> operated with the sen.or class to effecting redaction on cash and ctory work, bat they succeeded to maintaining the present high rate on dolirerad work credited through student agents. To make our ition undeniably Hear, we think is too much to pay for having a fair of paata deaned and pressed, and we think HOf is too much for having a com plete uniform or a civilian suit clranwi and prease^. * Ih a survey of the situation, a Battalion! representative was told by tailors that looses through cred it and student agents' commissions were chiefly responsible for the high pries. But one tailor told us that his loss through credit amount ed to only 2.5 yer cent of gross IimmmL whtohj ftatona unusually small in comparison with other That leaves the tailor an income of around 39< each piece of work. Deducting 20 per cent commis £ to student Agents, we have the r left with 3W coming in on piece. Than all be needs to is to deduct his cost of produc- n. All of this points to a too h margin of profit from our point ADAMS PLAN Adams, senior president has a tpUn which might work well It is 1 to have only one tailor agent to 5 "f. i ' Li I each outfit and to have him r.•pi t- sent aQ the tailor shops. His com mission could bo 10 por eont in stead of the regular 20 because of the voiame of Easiness he would transact The particularly desirable feature would bo that students could then choose which tailor shop would do their work. The only snag in the affair is thst the tailors believe their credit should be insured by organ ration funds. , 1.ET8 BB FAIR We must enter into this thing with an attitude of b< mg fair, and to be fair we must say that the tailors haW their Mil .to the question. Coat of living around hero is im usually high. Every business must be alleered a fair margin of profit In order to recompense these two factors with the desire ef students for fairer prices, we most con clude that while prices can he re duced, we mast not expect them to be aa low as they are in com munities where the cost of living it not so high. \1( jl';. ; 1 We propose that delivered week be doneloa t errd t basis at SO* a garment This, ; in our opinion, would solve hi 'Mm problems. Whether or not' the credit should sue, hot it businesses are some risks when alien. interests of the to reduce prices be insured is is our position | expected to they go into | While the , committees will on military that they on civil SOL ITION ntPEMATIVB The mere fact that tailors have hereUifore operated oa high mar gins is not reason enough for os to accept the sUQus quo. If the in terests ef the student body means anything to <|M tailors, they will co-operate with the committee from A. * M.
