GOVERNOR REPLIES

Gov. Percival Z. Baxter in a COM
munlcation sent Saturday 10 the
members Of the Portland delegation
of the Legislature declaring that in
making appointments, especially jul
dicial ones, he is not Influenced by
! political motives, nor docs he allow
himself to be Influenced by polite
ians.
Gov. BaXter's statement was
brought forth because of the adop-
ton of resolutions by the Portland
delegation criticizing Gov. Baxter for
his appointment of Harry Z. Nixon
as the recorder of the Portland
municipal court.
you have protested against my
appointment of Democratic re
corder of the Portland municipal
| court and you seek to have the coun-
Gil refuse to confirm the nomination
made by me- says Gov. Baxter.
In doing this you adopted an I'M
usual procedure. The unfriendIy
tone Of the first resolution published
in the papers Lcfore their passage,
has had its effect upon the public
mind and the modified resolutions
subsequently adopted cannot oblit-
crate it.
1.-THE Governor, not the Legisla-
turo, appoints judges to office, and
although | welcome the opinion of
private citizens it is unfortunate that
as legislators you should attempt to
bring political pressure to bear upon
me or upon the Councillor from Cum
berland county whom you elected and
who naturally is under obligations to
you.
The integrity and high standing
of our courts must be maintained.
They must be respected by our citi-
Zens and a grave responsibility rests

Wheat Declines In Price While The
Farmer Pays More For What
He Buys.

Wheat is selling in Chicago and other
western markets for a considerably less
price than il brought in the same places
year ago, and the outlook is for further
recession. This decline in the price Of
wheat has come despite the tariff of SOC
a bushel imposed by the Fordney- McCum-
Der law. which was proffered and pro-
claimed as boon to American agricul-
ture."
Word from Russia and other parts of the
world tells Of increasing acreage and pro-
duction. II the surplus of American farms
must compete with the grain Of other coun-
tries the Republican tariff will not be eifec-
tual in maintaining fair prices for wheat
consumed at home.
The first agricultural tariff passed by
the Republican Congress, following the in
coming Of the Harding administration,
was that approved May 81. 1921. This
law put duty of IS cents a bushel on
wheat. On the date Of its approval No. 2
hard winter wheat was selling in Chicago
at an average OF Si.b6 a bushel. On May
20. 1922, just a year later. the average
price Of No. 2 hard winter wheat at Chi
cago was $l.33 a bushel. By a coinci.
dence the decrease in price in the year
was IS cents bushel, the amount Of the
tariff.
The present Fordney- McCumber law
the permanent" tariff-fxed the duty on
wheat at 80 cents a bushel That meas
ure was enacted on September % last
No. 2 hard winter wheat sold for an aver.
