WHEAT PRICES AND PRICE FIXING.

Con gress has set the minimum price
OF wheat this year at $40 per bushel.
That it is said would increase the price
Of flour 81 barrel and the price of
loaf of bread cents The debate was
led by Hausen, OF Iowa, whose plea was
that other products were selling at ex-
orbitant prices and argued that wheat
should on that account be entitled to
a higher price.
Representative Haugen's argument
lacks logic. It scarcely follows that be-
cause "other products are selling at
exorbitant prices wheat prices should
be brought up to match those prices.
A more logical and more honest view
point 1t would seem would argue that
if other food products are selling at ex-
orbitant prices they should be scaled
down to a price fair to producer and
consumer. not that an exorbitant price
should be standardized.

price rider. It is reported from Wash
ington that the president has informed
the house agricultural committee that
he will veto the bill II it comes to him
with the $40 wheat amendment.
Most Of the trouble present and ahead
over prices and price fixing goes back
to the beginning of price fixing when
the price Of wheat was set and that OF
other products as necessary in home
consumption were left to run wild. Had
| congress and the president fixed the
price Of corn, for instance at sl.5G
when the wheat price was set every
corn grower would have been delighted
with the price. Since 50 corn made its
appearance the corn growers ideas
have changed. A taste OF speculative
prices affects the farm just as 1t did
the merchant whose stock inventoried
doubled value He desires more Of it.
Naturally. We are all human.
Price fixing Is a ticklish business
Just how far it should go and what
commodities should fall under 1t is
scarcely a problem to be settled by
street talk or by the desires and de-
mands Of either those who wish to sell
high and those who desire to buy cheap
