state. county, township
and municipality In the United
States Is to have an official food
organization work
ing hand In hand with the ma
tional food administration under
Herbert G. Hoover.
Hoover recognizes the fight for
food control as the peoples fight
and believes that to get maximum
results the organization must
reach directly to the people, pro-
ducers and consumers alike, In
every nook and corner of the
country.
Thru these organizations the
70 administration will he in di-
rect touch at all times with food
conditions In every part of the
country.
viii Spot Shortage
II will be In position to know of
shortages the moment they occur
and to know of excess supplies to
fill these shortages.
II will be able to check prices
In any section against those in
other sections and to tell at once
just how much prices have been
forced up at every step In the mar
keting chain.
Where supplies are short or
where prices are unwarrantably
high, the food administration,
thru its power to regulate distri-
button and force preferential
shipments, may move In quanti-
ties of supplies from points where
there Is a surplus, relieving the
shortage and bringing down price.
For Example
To a large extent, especially In
the handling Of fruits, vegetables
and other perishables. the whole
work can be handled by state food
organization.
The Spokane market, for in
stance, might he glutted with po-
tatoes at a time when Tacoma was
short.
The county reports to the STATE
body would show this condition at
once. The state organization
could order the transfer, by fast
freight, of a few cars OF potatoes
from Spokane to Tacoma and
within "a hours the potato mar
ket In both cities would he re-
lieved, supply regulated and prices
stabilized.
Wherever such regulation is
possible thru switching of sup
plies within a state, it will be un-

Oil Leases as Affecting State
Farm Loans

Several days ago Mr.. II. w. Etz,
of this place, sent a letter of in
quiry to the State Treasurer's Office
as to the effect of oil leases upon
farm loans, and the following is
the reply received:
Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 3, 1917.
Mr.. H. w. Etz,
Benson, Arizona.
Dear Sir:
At meeting of the State Loan
Board, which was held August I'd,
1917. the question which you had
previously referred to this depart
ment to bring before the Loan
Board, was considered.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
the Board that leases executed on
lands offered as security for. State
loans would not in any way affect
such applications for loans. AS a
matter of fact, any kind of a lease
could be executed upon lands that
had been offered as security for
State loans.
Trusting that this will satisfac-
torily answer your question, we
are, Yours very truly,
D. F. JOHNSON,
State Treasurer.
