PAGE TWO THE ST. HELENS MIST. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 22, 1920. i 4! I 1 L ;i I ':: if J H ?l "if PRODUCERS FOR STANFIELD 1EFVHLICAX 8KNATE VITAL .ROTKCTIVE TARIFF ABSOLUTE . NECESSITY (Editorial from Tolk County Observ er, Oct. 14. 1920.) Republicans who do not give Mr. stanfield their votes are certainly lot going to vote their political con victions. A vote for Harding and Oooltdge is a vote for a protective arlff and the conservative administ ration always given by the republi- -ans. A vote for George Chamber lain is a vote for a low tariff and the .-adical policy of the democratic par y. If Chamberlain Is elected he may lave the deciding vote as to whether the republicans can or cannot carry out their policies and put the busi ness of the country on a subsrtimial :a8ls. In fact, all real republicans .vould much prefer to lose the state .'or president than for United States -.enator, for the latter under esist ng circumstances, is niuch more lm .xrtant. Stanfield is the kind of man who will make a good senator. Ho has uade his own business success rais ng sheep, and has suffered from ev- J ;i'VV 'I American market. The price was broken. He must also stand for a low tariff on all other products of this section th.-.t come Into competi tion with the remainder of the world. If you bcllove in the ropukllcrn protective tariff, it is folly to voto for Chamberl.-.ln, for he will be com pelled to vote agalust your Interest if he Is elected. Paid Advertisement.

He has been compelled to sell Mi wool early in the season at a low price and later seen it resolo for twice the amount he received. He has been compelled to pay a hii;h l! ce for feed for his animals and then sell in the sprlus at a loss. He started without a cent. He worked night and day for years. At times he lias been successful. Just cow he does not know how he will come out with the price of wool so low that to sell means to accept a big loss. He may have to sell,ju3t as you have been compelled to on some of your products. In other words, Mr. Stanfield lb Just the kind of a man the farmers would choose to represent them In the senate of they knew him and his ideas. He realizes that the state and national governments trust pn-. tect the producers if the lat'er are to make a profit. He has as a producer come into contact with every evil of which the farmers justly complain Even though he has largely confined his efforts to raising sheep and pro ducing wool, he has been trimmed by the speculators just as have all other producers. And he has the knowledge and the ability to put the facts before the national legislators in a manner that will get results. Senr.tor Chamberlain, the demo cratic nominee, but who is subject to ao party, was in town during the past week. He has the advantage of per sonal acquaintance. But Chamber lain has spent his entire life in hold ing office. He is not familiar with the difficulties of the farmers end producers He must act with the democrats on the tariff question, al owing the wheat growers of the united States to remr.ia in competi tion with those of tho remainder of the world. You have seen how this resulted when Can:da dumpsd a large amount 'of wheat onto the St. Helens, Oregon, Oct. 4, 1920. The city council met on the above date in regular session.

THEHE ARE TWO CLASSES OF AUTOMO bilfc manufacturers: First, those producing cars at an unwarranted margin of profit who can re 'duce retail prices at will. Second, those whose prod 1 uct is scfld at a price b.ased. uppji present majnufactur-, ing costs plus a normal profit to which any producer is entitled. A manufacturer who suddenly reduces the price of his car $100 or more while manufacturing costs axe increasing, confesses that either his prices in the past were excessive, or he is willing to chance an expected drop in the cost of materials to cover the loss due to a reduced retail price. Actual Increase in Automobile Costs During Two Years One of the leading motor publications !.s a uthority for the statistics tbat the average price of all cars has increased hut 37 per cent during the two-year period from August, 1918, to August, 1920. In the same period costs of other commodities, including food and clothing, have increased as much as 100 per cent. Tfjus it would seem unlikely that automobile prices in general will take a "huge drop, but more likely a gradual decline along with standard commodities. .The following list cov ering some of the leading makes of cars (compiled from the. motor publication re ferred to) is an indication of the advances in list prices Prom August, 1918, to August, 1920: r ' Prices of the Com plete Chevrolet Line: f. o. b. flt.
