THIS PLAN MIGHT WORK

~ HERE are frequent com
VI plants that while pro-
duce of all sorts sells at
high figures in the Pendleton
market fruit and vegetables go
to waste on ranches in various
parts of the county. Do farm
ers prefer to have their pro-
ducts rot or will they sell it at
reasonable prices if a distribu-
ton organization should be
provided? If they are willing
to sell cheaply there is a way
whereby an interesting expert
ment might be conducted with
possibilities of accomplishing
something for our consuming
public and incidentally for the
farmer who may have produce
to sell and be unable to market
it. Here is a plan that might
bring results. Let the city
council send out some small
trucks to our produce sections,
buying up some of this surplus
fruit and vegetables, then let
it be peddled out here at prices
that will protect the city
against loss. The plan might
work and it might not, but it
would be interesting to try it.

Fordney Against Tariff Legislation
At This Session.

Washington, April 4-Tariff legis-
lation should not be taken up at the
present session of congress is the
opinion of Representative Joseph w.
Fordney, of Saginaw, ranking mem
Der of the ways and means commit
tee.
This makes it likely the delibera-
tions of the ways and means commit
tee at this session will be of non
partisan nature and participated in
by Republicans and Democrats at the
same time. For many years it has
been the custom for the majority and
minority members of this committee
to meet separately in shaping bills
for revenue.
Congressman Fordney said to the
Free Press today. In explaining his
opposition to tariff legislation at the
present time:
"I-am against taking up the tariff
now for several reasons, which l am
glad to give.
First, it would take at leasst five
months to have the full and free
hearings which should be held and to
agree upon rates on the 5000 or g.
600 separate items in the tariff bill.
"Second, this is no time, when we
are at war and in period of inha-
ton due to war conditions, to arrive
at just and equitable tariff rates.

sary appropriation bills, and the

months 577. 200, 600 bushels of wheat
and 674,O00. 900 bushels of other GER

surplus of others cereals totalling $780,
100000 bushels in the United States

Of her supply for neutrals furnishing

Why the Discrepancy.

Some one asked Mr.. Hawley, man
such discrepancy between the Mime
apolis market quotations and the Wa
tertown price.
He answered and was substantiated
by both Messrs. Selmser and Baxter.
Under the old order an elevator man
proceeded at once to protect himself
on what is called marginal trading
whenever he purchased grains, said
Mr.. Hawley. In this way he was not
especially influenced by the market
fluctuations. If they went the wrong
way on cash sales, he was protected
by margins; if his margins were on
the losing side, he was protected by
the increased value of his holdings.
Now, however, with prices fluctuating
rapidly and at wide ranges, he is fore
ed to protect himself by buying on
what he %conceives to be absolutely
the safe side, since a single days pur-
chases might ruin the small elevator
or the FIGURING mill.
The other day, for instance, the
price of wheat dropped twenty-five
cents a bushel like a thunderclap from
a clear sky. If a man were caught
with, say, ten thousand bushels of
grain on hand for which he had paid
the market price the previous day his
days losses would aggregate $4,000.
Hence, he must buy on the safe side
if he would protect himself from ruin.
But all united in the view that I'M
certainty is bad, not only for the
farmer but for the grain buyer. Some
sort of stability should be established
without delay, was the concensus of
opinion.
