The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1923-11-01

Denver.-(A. P.)-Calvin Coolidge
and the United States congress will
be urged to place a heiver tariff on
wheat imported into the United States
and to establish a government board
or bureau with power to purchase and
merchandise the exportable surplus,
George G. Jewett, general manager
of the American Wheat Growers, As
sociated, said here today. Mr.. Jewett
said that his association would urge
that the government bureau or board
be given authority to see wheat in
the world markets and that any loss
taken on the exportable surplus be
prorated back on the entire wheat
crop.
The above suggestion is in line with
the general sentiment recently ex-
pressed in farmers meetings in Mos
COW and with a growing sentiment on
the part of farmers and others inter
ested in the wheat situation, through
out the country. The farmers desire
a tariff placed on wheat which would
enable them to derive a fair profit on
their labor and investment after any
loss on the exportable surplus may
have been absorbed. A dollar and
twenty cents a bushel net, is mention
ed by local farmers as a fair price.
The price of bread, it is known, need
be affected but little, if any, by such
an advance in the price of wheat.
