minimum for his products, if the
domestic or world market levels reach
a higher point. Also, if the fixing of
charges and profits by middlemen re-
suits in savings that enable the grain
corporation to realize more than the
fixed price, he says this saving can
be rebated back to farmers. But the
bill ought to be definite and specific on
this point.
The Leader is in favor of the Cana
dian plan. This is, that the grain
corporation pay the farmer 80 per
cent, or perhaps 80 per cent, of the
fixed minimum, when the farmer sells.
Then, if world prices, or savings in
pooled handling and elimination of
profteering, result in the corporation
realizing a higher price, the farmer
gets dividend per bushel at the end

Of the crop year. In Canada this divi-
dend was nearly so cents per bushel.
There are probably other amend
ments that friends Of the plan to re-
vive the grain corporation will want to
offer to the Sinclair bill. But this bill
is a good start. Every one should
help Mr.. Sinclair get a hearing in
committee on it. Then the commit
tee can recommend out a bill that will

The National leader., 1922-01-09

fight to get a hearing on it in the
agricultural committee of the lower
house. The bill not only provides for
fixed price on grain, intended to
guarantee the farmer cost of produc-
ton, but provides for doing the same
thing with raw cotton and raw wool.
All of these basic farm products
would be handled by the grain corpor-
alton under Sinclair's plan.
The drafting and introduction Of
this bill is fine start. If enough
farmers circulate petitions and write
personally to their representatives in
congress, a hearing can be obtained
on it. Such hearing would open the
whole question of the proposed guar
antee of living for farmers during
the next few years, until they can get
on their feet. While Sinclair's bill as
at present drawn will not meet the
ideas of all those who are urging re-
vival of the grain corporation, it will
serve as a basis for discussion in con-
gress. With the question once opened
for debate the right kind of bill can
be recommended by the committee.
Mr.. Sinclair, since introducing the
bill, has decided to accept an amend
ment to it. This amendment will pro-
vide for regulating the charges and
profits of middlemen, brokers and
millers. Big savings for the farmer
and consumer can be made by such
provision. It will prevent profteering
during the time the grain corporation
is pooling and handling farm prod
ucts.
The National leader., 1922-01-09
MINIMUM FIXED
PRICE TOO Low

Other amendments to the bill will
be offered by friends of the plan to
revive the grain corporation and fix a
cost price, plus fair profit, for
farmers. The Sinclair plan to include
wool and cotton in the bill may not be
wise. This can be determined by dis
cussion in committee. Wool and cot
ton growers should undoubtedly be
protected, as we'll as grain growers,
but it. is serious question whether
one corporation could successfully
handle all these products at the same
time. Each requires special market
ing machinery and special type of
expert. It would seem the better plan
to provide separate government cor
porations with separate managements
to handle wool and cotton. Most of
those who have studied the PROPOSE
tion feel that it will complicate the
business of the grain corporation and
make for its failure to force more
than one kind of farm product upon
it, to handle at the same time.
Moreover, Mr.. Sinclair's guaran-
teed prices for the first year of the
revived grain corporation (1922) are
too low. For instance, he fixes price
Of only $1.50 at Chicago as the mini
mum on wheat. It is doubtful if half
the grain growers could make cost of
production at that figure, let alone
profit. One-ffty at Chicago means
little over dollar, on the average, on
the farms. The fixed minimum should
provide costs for two-thirds or three
quarters of the wheat growers. Of
course $5 a bushel would not bring
cost to some growers, but land which
can not profitably produce wheat at a
fair fixed minimum should be put to
other uses.
Mr.. Sinclair says there is, nothing
in his bill that will prevent the farm
er being paid more than the fixed

 THE WAY IT HAPPENED
 The game opened with Nenana at bat, Brown up. He landed m the sec ond ball thrown, driving long fly to center, which Frederickson gathered in. Blakey walked and was put out in a race for second when Krause ground ed to Morgan. Ire ball was returned to first just in time to stop krause and was the only double play made during the series.
 Frederickson, heavy hitter of the visiting team, grounded to Haynes. Lopez singled to center, stole second and advanced to third on a wild throw to second by Gibson. He was left on third, Noftsger flying out to center and Martini going out on grorn er to Brown which was passed o1 to Haynes.
 Markle, first up in the second grounded to first. Gibson walked, stole second and scored on Tate's dluble to left, where it was badly handled by Oliver. Haynes, in the meantime, had famed, and Hanson followed Tate with a short grounder to first and was tagged out before he reached the cushion.
 Anstis found the ball for short jab at Kelly and was thrown out Tracey and Oliver famed, retiring the side.
 Kelly was counted out at the plate in the third. Brown grounded to Mor- gan and Blakey flew to right.
 Morris walked and was caught off base. Morgan famed and Frederick son walked, only to be thrown out by Gibson while trying to steal second.

 Lopez and Noftsger both went down for the count in the second half of the fourth, and Martini grounded to Krause.
 Tate started the hitting in the fifth with a drive at second, but the ball beat him to first. Hanson also went out at first, with a grounder t Nor gan.

In one of the best played and most hotly contested baseball games ever witnessed on the local diamond the in vincible aggregation wrested the cham team, winning the series three games to one and the final game by @ score of four to two There was plenty of excitement throughout the game and even as late as the eighth inning the visitors had a splendid chance to tie the score, with three men on bases and heavy sticker at the bat. But Kelly, pitching for the locals, was equal to the occasion and the heavy sticker was struck out.
 Kelly pitched strong game and had splendid support. all of the boys being on their toes, quick and sure ill field ing and heavy on the stick
 The Cordovans also played a fast game, with Morgan in the box and a solid lineup in back of him. But they were outbatted and outpitched
 There was the usual good natured bantering during the game and much amusement was created when the game was about half over by the ap- pearance of a giant can on the field, an exaggerated duplicate of the kind used by clam canperies and symbolic of clam digging. At the conclusion of the game the can, with Pitcher Kelly mounted beside it on a platform, was carried trumphantly from the field.
 The betting on the final game was quite heavy, several thousand dollars changing hands. There were nun bers of bets of several hundred dol lars and scores of smaller ones.

BLAMES TRUST FOR
POOR PICTURES
By ROBERT A. DONALDSON

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, April-The real
reason SO many Objectionable films
are forced on the public is due to the
film producing trust, which is control
led by the producers, according to W..
w. Hodkinson, of New York, distribu-
tor and original organizer of the Par
amount Company.
Hodkinson has been organizing the
California exhibitors with view to
building an organization of exhibitors
which will eventually be able to do in
dependent buying.
H.The public gets poor films because
the producer forced them on the ex-
hibition against his will, said Hodkin-
son. rThe exhibitor, to maintain his
standing with the trust distributor, is
forced to accept six Objectionable films
in order to get the one masterpiece the
distributor controls.
"The exhibitor does not want these
poor films and often has to run them
at loss in order TO get the one pie
ture which will make good money By
packing his house.
stThus the producers and their dis
tributing agencies prevent public opin-
ion, working through the distributor,
from setting the standard for films.
The public wants better films, but nn-
der the present system, it can't get
them.
.'In my opinion there should be a
few great seleetive distributing agen-
cies to handle the entire output of pro-
ducers, and to serve as q neutral con-
troll between them and the public
tThis would insure healthy cOnpe-
tition between producers, which Is
lacking now. The quality of pictures
would go up, and their cost to the
public would go down.
''There are too many producers TO
day who either fail to understand
American ideals of life and conduct
or care nothing about maintaining
them.
''The present fifteen or twenty dis
tributing companies, practically all o.
them trust controlled, mean terrifi,
waste. Over $40,000,000 is thrown
away annually through lack of co-ord
ination Of this work. If the 1900 ex
hibitors in the United States coulC
choose freely from one or two big neu
tral distributing organizations, tire
mendous saving to the public and to the
industry would result.
"The exhibitors must organize and
exert their buying power TO force this
issue. As soon as they do they vii
