Wheat Prices

The News is afraid that il Senator
Gooding's bill guaranteeing a price
of Sl.75 TO producers Of No. North
ern wheat is to pass that the whole ma
ton will become one huge wheat farm
But the News overlooks one or two
obvious economic principles. Wheat
siandardizes grain prices. The ratio
is constant between quotations for
wheat, corn, oats, barley and rye.
And the News fails to appreciate this
fundamental fact-that il all American
wheat acreage is increased enormously
il must be at the expense OF some
other crop. II Boise Valley farmers
raise nothing but wheat. what will be
the price OF hay next winter? Where,
il Minnesota and Kansas farmers are
raising wheat next year. will the po-
tatoes come from to feed a hundred
million people? And what will the
price be?
The situation facing farmers to-day
is a critical one. IL requires drastic
action. What Senator Gooding pro-
poses and what seems to have the sup-
port OF a majority in congress.
amounts to nothing less than a sub
sidy for American farmers. Ii sub
sidy is right for railroads. il il is right
for the merchant marine. il is right
for the baS. industry OF this nation
agriculture. And it must be remem-
bered that the federal treasury pays
out. roughly. u million dollars in ex-
cess OF receipts for operation of the
postal system. Another subsidy. |,
From the committees report recon- $
mending passage OF Senator Gooding's a
measure. We take these excerpts: r
The saddest story was OF II
the suicides that have taken place :
on the farm. Last year there were
81 suicides on the farms OF Min
ncsota. 81 in North Dakota, 81 in a
in South Dakota and IS in Mon g
tana. /.
From all over the country
comes the story OF hardships and
privations upon the farm Ev- r
erywhere the story is told OF il
young men leaving the farm IN 4
one county in Idaho. 1900 young r,
men were reported as leaving the 7
farms last year. q
While the general proposition OF m
ederal subsidies for private enter II.
,rise has objections. this situation is re
yrave enough TO overlook them en- g.
irely. And Idaho. particularly. has. OF

Fair Enough

The navy department is right in IT'S
determination to enforce an old rule
which provides that graduates OF the
Naval Academy will not be permitted
to resign until they have been COM
nIissioned for three years. The gov
eminent incurs great expense in CIV
ing a young man an education at the
academy and does il for the special
purpose OF training men for service in
the navy in time OF war In order to
be fully fit for service. they should not
only have their scholastic training but
the experience that an officer gets BY
actual operation after he has received
his commission II, after he has had
this practical experience. he wishes
to resign and enter civilian life. he
may properly be permitted to do so.
In that event, his training will have
been such as to make him OF value TO
the nation as a naval officer in case OF
war. Men vino are not willing to do 4
this much for the government ought
not seek education at the naval acad-
,my. There are other public institu
ions suited to their needs where they
an be educated at less expense and
without interfering with the aspira-
ions OF others who look toward the
avail service as a career.
