FARMERS REACH DECISION
AT MEETING HERE TODAY
WhitIock Says State Laws in no
Way Conflict With Federal
Laws; Use Own Discounts.
.II VI Va. y

IL grain buyers of Portland. Seattle,
Spokane and Tacoma do not attend the
meeting called for next Saturday Ly
the UmatiIla county Farm Bureau for
discussion of the oregon and WASH
Eington grain -tlfsvounts test cases
to ascertain the validity of the laws
will be instituted at once through the
UmatilIa county Farm Bureau and tho
Walla Walla county Farm Bureau.
This decision was reached this morn
ing at meeting Of farmers from the
two counties, held In the Commercial
Association rooms with r. w. Ritner
presiding.
Action Follows Protest
The action follows vigorous protest
Of the decision Of the Northwest Mill
lers and Grain Dealers Association to
disregard the discount laws Of the two
states. Invitations were sent to the
Merchants Exchanges of Portlands.
Seattle. Tacoma and Spokane which
replied with request that the farfIi-
ers come to Tacoma for meeting. Mr..
Ritner, who sent the invitations, re-
piled that farmers had not time or
money 10 go to Tacoma. No addition
al word has been received and farmers
believe that they are being ignored by
the dealers.
The legislation about which the con-
troversy centers was. passed In tlis
Oregon legislative sessions Of 1921 and
is known as the Ritner bill. and similar
legislation was passed also in Wash
ington. 1t provides that there shall
be no discount on 5S pound wheat but
that for each pound above So pounds
S Of one per cent premium shall be
paid. For each pound or fr
a pound below IS pounds, there shall
be discount of not to exceed IS of
one per cent and on poorer grades the
discount is slightly larger. ~
D.rferentials We're Three Cents.
During the war. differentials were
three cents a bushel so that so pound
wheat was the standard for each grade
before the three cent discount was
made. Farmers agree that this was
fair when wheat sold for more than
81 bushel but that with wheat at 81
a bushel the differentiaI is too great
on the old basis which the Northwest
Millers and Grain Dealers seek to re-
tain despite the new laws.
Senator D. H. Cox of Walla Wallaa
made the motion today that test cases
be instituted. 1t was unanimously ap-
proved after the second by Fred Stei-
wer. local attorney, who gave his opin-
ion that this would be the best course
for farmers to follow if the laws are to
be upheld. A committee Of Farm
Bureau members from Walla walla
and Columbia counties is to be ap-
pointed and will meet here with the
Umatilla delegation next Saturday in
