THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE

representation that the price deter
mined by the committee was flxe'
or maximum price. He states that
the result of the committees decl-
sion was not only protection for the
1917 harvest but in reality was re-
vision upward of the Congressional
minimum from $500 to 1920 for
1918 wheat. In foreword to this
report, Mr.. Hoover notes that the
economic fact must not be neglected
that any minimum price automati-
cally tends to become the actual
price during the period of surplus
marketing in the fall, and that the
subsequent reselling of the accumu-
lated surplus at the same price au-
tomatically makes it the actual price
during the period Of distribution, but
that nevertheless, the price, after
those periods of support, rose above
the minimum each year without res
traint, except for short period in
| the Spring Of 1918 when, after the
farmer had disposed Of his crop
measures were introduced to prevent
profiteering in flour and bread.
| DR.. Surface shows that by the elm
ination Of war speculation the retail
price Of flour was reduced to the
consumer from SIS to $l3 barrel
while at the same time the farmer
received much more for his wheat
than in the speculative period.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-05-21

shows that Mr.. Hoover, then Food
took no part in the
committees determinations, thus dis
posing Of the myth that Mr.. Hoover
fixed the price.
With the advantage of the per-
spective which can now be gained,
DR.. Surface has examined exhaust
lively the justice Of the committees
award, showing statistically that the
price realized for wheat during the
period of government marketing was
higher than the relative prices of
other farm produce where there was
a free market, and also that the
minimum price of wheat was fixed
by this committee at higher relative
level than the prices fixed by the
government for steel, copper and
other commodities. 1t appears from
the report that the maintenance of
the minimum price was accompanied
by great many hitherto undisclosed
difficulties. At one time the Food
Administration Grain Corporation
was compelled to invest nearly six
hundred millions Of dollars to main
tain the price. Nearly four hundred
million Of this had to be borrowed
from banks and elsewhere. 1t also
appears that the price of wheat was
maintained by the Government for a
year after the Armistice in order to
enable the farmer to liquidate his
war production. DR.. Surface also
observes that the war action of the
Government obviously had no respon-
sibility for the great fall in the price
of wheat which occurred two years
after the Armistice as part of the
general worldwide slump in the
prices of all commodities.
Dr. Surface also clears up the mis-

order to do justice to the producers
who have shown great patriotism in
special effort to increase produc-
tion," Mr.. Hoover wrote the Presi-
dent in July, 1917, sit is absolutely
vital that we shall protect the farm
er from a slump in prices this year
due to glut or from the uncontrolled
decisions of any one buyer"
Appoints Committee
Acting on this recommendation
President Wilson appointed an indie
pendent committee which comprised
6 farm representatives, 2 consumers
representatives, 3 economists and
business men. This committee deter
minfed on 1920 at Chicago as fair
price and DR.. Surface in his report,
states that it is obvious, that had it
not been for this decision by the
committee, the American farmer
would have received far less for his
wheat than was the case. The report

FOR OLYMPIA SESSION

Seattle, Wash.-Tn asking the men,
bers of the state legislature to signify
their preferences as to the time for
holding the special session, hereto.
fore scheduled for the month OF No.
vember, Governor Hartley seems to
have made 1t certain that there will be
no session until January. The cover.

the wishes Of the majority Of the
membership; and there is no question
whatever that the majority In favor
of waiting until after the Christmas

make 1t unanimous.
Governor Rartleys decision to con.
suit the senators and representatives
on this matter was not reached until
after he had heard from good many
of them, directly and indirectly. Pro.

Surprise Birthday Party

On last Monday the many friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Pat Martin of Bland st.
met in whirlwind fashion and sur
prised Mrs. Pat Martin with a sumptu-
ous birthday dinner
The scheme agreed upon was that
each friend prepare her own dinner at
her own home while Mrs. Martin was
busy with her home work entirely
blinded to any newspaper happenings
that might be going on at her very
door. The ladies participating in the
surprise were Mrs. Edgar Hulen, Mrs
Edgar Poe, Mrs. Allen Ward, Mrs. Will
Dixon, Mrs. ii. L. Haynes, Mrs. W. II.
Bennett Mrs. Dexter Holder and Mrs.
Thurman BLY,.
Mrs. Poe was selected as the one to
entice Mrs. Martin from her home
while the others made the charge on
the Martin home with the eats and so
cleverly was the feat performed that
the surprise was complete in every par
ticular. Knowing Mrs. Martin to be
always ready to assist a friend in need
Mrs. Poe called her to "come over
for few minutes and help her plan
some work she had to do. Mrs. Mar
tin went at once, of course. and it was
while she was with Mrs. Poe that the
ladies invaded the Martin home and
"set the table" Everything in readi-
ness Mrs. Poe accompanied Mrs. Mar
tin home where the great and pleasant
surprise took place. After many ex-
pressions of joy, thanks, handshakes
and few tears, mingled with Uncle"
Pats Irish wit and humor the feast
was begun. Miss Nora Martin, the
pretty and accomplished daughter of
