WOOL SALES HELD BACK
BY MARKET CONDITIONS

KEMMERER, Wyo.-The wool
clip for 1920 has begun to move
from Lincoln county more than q
month late owing to adverse market
conditions. While several buyers
have been in this section. where COM
petition was formerly keen, there
have been no sales reported and NO
offers are being made.
The wood which is being shipped
is either going into eastern ware
houses for the account and risk Of
the owner, or is covered by a small
advance by firms which in the past
have bought for cash. This advance
is 20 to rs cents a pound.

IDAHO sPUDS BRING TWO-BITS
EACH IN NEW YORK MARKET

Wrapped in tissue paper and dis
played in attractive boxes, Idaho po-
tatoes are selling for 25 cents each
in New York City. The same pota-
toes were purchased from Idaho
producers for 50 per hundred pounds.
This is the interesting information
vouchsafed by P. A. Williams of Bur-
ley, Idaho, a wheat and potato grow
er.
Mr.. Williams was one of the even
ing speakers at the evening meeting
of the farm bureau grain commit
tee at the Hotel Utah last night.
He had just returned from a trip
throughout the eastern and middle
west states and, in addition to learn
ing how popular Idaho potatoes are
in Gotham, he collected much other
information of interest to farmers.
The Idaho potato which has reach
ed such eminent heights in New
York is the Melted Gem, golden
hued tuber with graceful lines tend
ing toward the oval. 1t is not large
potato, and, therefore, has won it's
merit on quality. It's excellent fla
vor has sotickled the palates of New
Workers that they are willing to pay
fancy price for it. On dining cars,
baked or otherwise served, the pota-
to commands the modest price Of so
cents.
In addressing the committee mem
bers, Mr.. Williams declared that
farmers in middle-west.. states are re-
ceiving more encouragement from
bankers than in the west. Wheat
growers are being organized into CO..
operative groups, and are building
their own elevators for the storage
of grain in order that they will not
be compelled to sell on an emergen-
Cyl market. At Ames, Iowa, last
week, thirteen middle-west states
we're represented at a convention of
wheat growers who effected an Or
ganization which proposes to aid
farmers in obtaining the highest
possible for their wheat, and to OBJ
tain farm machinery on better terms
than are offered at this time.
Farming conditions in the New
England and middle-west states
have a direct bearing on the farm
in Idaho and Utah." said
Mr.. Williams. If the present move
ment among farmers of those states
our states will be called
upon to furnish more food products
than ever, for, as matter of fact,
hundreds Of farms are being desert
ed because their owners can make
more money as wage-earners in in ]
dustrial centers. This desertion is |
due not only to the dissimilarity be-
tween prices received for products |
and prices paid for labor and pro-
duction but also to the gradual de-
of soils and the constant
" decreasing acreage.
Farmers of the west are more
productive and are entering peri
I'd when they will assume a great |
responsibility as food sources for
many eastern states. However, the
farmers of this section today are un-
der great burdens; they are faced
with big problems in marketing.
and labor. We have
reached a point where something |
must be done, and it is only by or
ganization and cooperation that we
can save ourselves and get back
from the ground all that we put
INTO it,"

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-The taxa
ton recommendations just submitted
to Congress by Secretary of the
Treasury Houston camc in for SC
we're overhauling on Thursday ut the
hands OF Representative Claude Kit
chin. of North Carolina, former DEM
ocratic leader and now ranking mem
her OF his party on the Ways and
Means Committee of the House. The
most unwise. unjust. undemocratic
and pro- Republican report that ever
emanated from any department OF
the government" was the way Kit
chin characterized 1t. by way OF intro
duction.
Kitchin's broadside against Cab
met member OF his own political
faith caused little short OF sensa-
ton among his party colleagues in
the House and Senate. not only be-
cnuse OF its vital difference from the
administration view, but because or
the language he employed. Among
other things he said:
Will Relieve Corporate Intcrcxts.
The whole intent and policy OF his
recommendation is to relieve the
corporate interests. who have for the
last four years plundered and prof
iicered upon the people to the extent
OF So0.o00. 100000, OF $1.5O0,U00,000 or
$4,000, 100000 OF taxes annually and
place that amount on the backs of
the people. cannot understand, ,how
any man who claimstto have a single
| impulse for the masses or who claims
TO be n Democrat. could make such
rocomme mendations-but understand
that neither Mr.. Houston nor any OF
his friends make such claims for HIM
trust the Republican Secretary
OF the Treasury under the next ad-
ministration Will have more confid-
ence in the Republican Congress than
our Democratic secretaries under
Wilson'S administration have shown
in Democratic Congresses. and will
not assume 10 tell Congress what il
shall tax or shall not tax and the
rate OF taxation. but will be willing
10 leave II where AL Secretaries of
the Treasury before the Rd<lt OF
the Wilson administration have left
ito the Judgment OF Congress,
where the Constitution leaves il.
They performed their duties by in
forming Congress the condition OF
the finances OF the government and
the amount OF money required to
meet government expenses.
No Use for Conventions.
IF the Democratic party In Con-
gress were to adopt the suggestions
Of Secretary Houston's report, it
would be no use to mold future Demo-
cratic conventions. for no Democratic
candidate hereafter would get any
thing like as many votes as Governor
Cox did in the last election. and the
Lord knows he got few enough.
