Missouri rent regulation bill creates county and city commissions
Missouri's first rent control measure introduces a rent commission in every county and in all cities over 100000. City commissions are appointed by mayors, with two year terms and salaries set by city boards. Counties without large cities use the county court as the commission, and single judges may share duties with the assessor and probate judge. Commissions can regulate rents for apartments, hotels, and residences, hear complaints, and fix fair rents. Appeals go to the circuit court within 30 days. The panel can summon witnesses, administer oaths, and demand books and papers.

Farmers Pay The Freight Left Behind In Postwar Prices
An analysis using April 1921 wholesale price indexes from the U S Bureau of Labor Statistics shows farmers receive far less value for their outputs. Comparisons with 1913 base reveal farmers lose 25 percent on average across commodities when weighed against all goods, with farm products dropping 65 percent from their peak. The piece notes farmers pay freight on both farm goods and inputs, buying retail as wholesale prices fall more than retail prices.
