INCREASED PRODUCTION
IS THE ONLY REMEDY

The one remedy for the high cost
of living is increased production, for
whenever the markets are glutted,
prices will drop, otherwise, someone
will keep marketing big profit of
OF the consumer. This is the opinion
of Dan P. Smythe, Pendleton attorney
and prominent sheepman of Umatilla
county, who has just returned from
two months business visit in Chi
cago.
Mr.. Smythe stated that the effect
of the recent attempts to lower the
cost OF living was to cause slump
in the markets without making food
stuffs any cheaper to the consumer.
In some cases. he believes, the retail
prices went higher, showing that the
middleman took advantage of the hue
and cry to make little more profit,
Western stockmen who are mark
citing in Chicago and other eastern
cities, were especially hard hit by the
instability of the markets, for the
slump came Just when they were on
hand with their animals, and they
were forced to sell at once, although
at loss. Mr.. Smythe said;
Business in the east is in health
ly condition and money seems plenti-
full. The labor situation, however,
is bad, 1t does not seem so much a
matter of wages as hours. The at
titude seems to be to make living
without working at all, il possible. "
The high cost of living probe hit
the producer hard but only doubled
the middlemap's profits, according
to Mr.. Smythe. Hogs lost 6 and I
cents, and cattle and sheep and 4
cents in the Chicago market but the
retail price remained unchanged, he
declared. Increased production is
the only cure for the high cost OF
living" he said.

Mahoney, G. E. Woodson and S. w.
Spencer, has been appointed to go
over the proposed pipe line route and
interview the land owners. So far
