HAS new CROP
PRICE FIXING
PROPOSAL NOW
Former Secretary OF Agri-
culture To Make Plans
Known at Conference

DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb IA
production prices, through price fix
ing at crop planting time, will be
submitted by E. r. Meredith for
merly secretary of agriculture, to the
Corn Belt Farm Belt Relief Confer
ence meeting here tomorrow.
Mr.. Meredith urges the placing OF
the farmer on the same basis as
the manufacturer, with regard TO
the price he is to be given for the
article he is expected to produce.
No other producer, he urges, would
contract years output of his plant
at price to be established year
hence, nor should the farmer be CON
PEELED to operate under such con
dition.
MY proposal" he said, "is to in
terpret the law of supply and de-
mand through the medium of price
telling the farmers what the mini
mum price will be for their next
years production, and then guaran
teeing that price for their farm
products"
The price for five or six standard
farm wheat, corn, cotton
wool, sugar and perhaps butter -
should be fixed, said Meredith "only
high enough to produce the quantity
of crop desired and low enough SO
that the crop may not be so profit
able it will cause the farmers to
produce a surplus, above the quaint
lty demanded by consumers"
The plan would enable the farmer
to decline to sell his wheat at any
price lower than the government
fixed sum, thus causing market
activity which would bring the price
up to or over the minimum. At the
end of the crop year, the year fol
lowing, the government would pur'
chase what, if any, of the crop was
left in the farmers hands and dis.
pose of it at the best possible
price.
Even if the government had to
spend $1O0,OO0,000 in disposing Of the
carry-over, said Mr.. Meredith, that
sum would be only one twenty-fifth

With the resumption of the trial

tinued it's introduction of testimony
designed to break down the story
told by Fred Magill on the witness
stand relating to alleged rum running
operations. It's efforts in this diroc
tion were two fold, one by testimony
contradicting Magill's statements and
the second by attacking the credi-
bilty of Magill as a witness.
Four witnesses were called whose

merchant and former mayor of this
city, Charley Phillips, workman at
the Alaska Juneau, d. B. Housed,
hotel man, and Mrs. Mildred Stan.

1t was evident that the defense
attached considerable Importance to
Mr.. Goldstein's testimony and to
| that of Mr. Housel The former said
he had sold Hoxie 1921 worth of the
best halibut gear money could buy
and that Hoxe and Magill were in
his store almost every other day
between January 20 and February ],
1925; that the gear had been made
as to the approximate dates men
toned.
In his direct testimony last week,
Magill testified he left Juneau with
Hoxie, Bill Douglas and others, on
the gasboat Lou about the middle of
January for Prince Rupert; that they
were stormbound on the return trip
and unloaded liquor cargo on
Funter Bay fox island returning
here February /, fixing the date by
the fact that the search for the i'll
fated boat George Jr, was just start
ing when they returned.
Bert Kirby corroborated in part
the testimony of Mr.. Goldstein. He
testified that Magill came to him on
January 27, 1925, and asked him

from Goldstein; and that he started
to work on it February |.

Dave Housed operator of the Al

contradicted flatly statement made
by Magill during his cross-examin-
alton last week. Mr.. Housed said
he had a conversation with Magill
recently regarding rooming bill
owed by the latter. At that time
he said Magill had told him he had
an $1,000 cache of whiskey and
would pay the bill as soon as he sold
the liquor. On cross examination
Mr.. Housed fixed the date of the
conversation definitely as on January
7th
Charley Phillips. laborer at the
Alaska Juneau, testified to having
seen Magill coming from the Ferry
WAY house and to have also seen
him in the doorway there. On the
first occasion, early in July last
year. he said Magill had package
under his arm which he said con
tanned three bottles of whiskey. Ma
gill told him, he declared, that he
was going to sell it to get money
to pay his fare to Ketchikan. Three
or four days later, the witness said,
he saw Magill in the doorway OF the
