manager of The Olympia at the time
the local structure burned down.

MINIMUM PRICES
FOR ALL PRODUCE
HOUSTON WANTS GOVERNMENT
TO GUARANTEE WHAT tARM-
Frs WILL RECEIVE.

Replying TO a telegram regarding
the fixing Of prices on food products,
David +. Houston, secretary OF aeri-
culture. outlined the proposal as
viewed by the administration, saying:
NO agency now has power to fix
prices OF food products. Have sug-
gested that congress confer power on
the government TO fix minimum and
maximum prices if the emergency re-
quires them.
The object of a minimum price to
producers would be TO stimulate pro-
duction OF certain staple products by
assuring farmers that these products
would not be disposed of below a GER
tain level which would give them a
cause them to suffer loss in any event.
This would have to be done under
proper regulation.
THE shortage of important crops
in this nation, the greatly depleted
resources abroad, and the waste and
destruction in Europe should cause
a continuance of rcmunerative prices,
but as an additional assurance to
farmers the power indicated ought to
be vested in the government.
at is not suggested that the maxi
mum price be fixed to producers, but
that power to fix such prices govern
ing the distribution of products be
given to the government to be used
if necessary to control uneconomic
speculation and manipulation in the
handling of food products.
1T is of the first Importance that
no step be omitted greatly to increase
the supply, especially of the great
staple food products of the United
States, in every direction"

OPPOSE HIGH PROFITS TAX.
Chamber of Commerce Trustees VOt
ON War Revenue Measures.

Trustees of the local Chamber OF
Commerce went on record Tuesday
as opposed to increased income taxes
to raise $500, 100000 a year. against
taxing excess profits to raise $780,
100000 a year, against increasing
the first class postage rate to derive
$1OO,0OO,0O0 and urged that retro
active taxes be not imposed on in
comes and profits.
These views were expressed in a
referendum being conducted by the
National Chamber of Commerce on
the proposed means of raising reve-
nue. by taxation to finance the war
The trustees favored increasing sec.
ond-class postage rates, stamp taxes
except on bank checks, higher Gus
toms duties (tariff), excise taxes
and reduction of the amount Of cap
ital stock subject to taxation from
$4,000 to $4,000.

SHARP DECREASE
IN WINTER WHEAT
CROP IN THREE NORTHWEST
STATES WILL BE MUCH SMALL
Err THAN EXPECTED.

A much greater loss in winter
wheat planting available for harvest
than had been expected is indicated
by reports gathered by moro than 200
special crop correspondents in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho, as well
as reports given by railroad agents
of the three states.
The total available winter wheat
acreage now is placed at 1,S78.000 as
compared with 2,135,O00 acres in
1916, on the corresponding date.
These reports indicate gloomy
outlook for the winter wheat pruduc-
ton. but this gloom may be dispeFled
If good weather prevails for the next
two weeks, according to crop author
tiles.
Spring planting is well under way
in most sections of the Pacific North
west, although at some points snow
still covers the ground. Nevertheless,
farmers in the interior are working
night and day on spring planting and
IT the area proposed to be planted Is
seeded the total wheat area will ex-
coed that Of . year ago.
In most sections of the Pacific
Northwest winter sowing in normal
seasons yields to 10 per cent greater
than spring sowing. It will take
liberal increase in the total planting
to make up for the deficiency in thu
