I Endorse the Wheat Plan
ment that, is gradually becoming inoculated with paternal
ism, but ynu hear a terrible wail about the "unsoundness
of this wheat plan."
Suppose it is unsound, why should the farmer not have
a crack, at thin unsound plan as well as the financiers at
their unsound plans.
(live us the wheat subsidy Which the farmer himself
pays and let the Portland exporters control the Ohnmlierj
;r Commerce resolutions passed by that city. What the
people of the wheat section want is action, and this is the
best thins: that has yet shown up.
4 Sound or unsound, the Evening: Observer is firmly be
hind 'the plan for marketing- wheat which Governor Low
don and his assistants worked out and which means that
domestic wheat pays a tax of, seven tents-a bushel to 'raise
tile price of export wheat, which in turn advances the price.
of: wheat, for home consumption, , ,
The' only argument against the plan is that it i is not,
-sriund and this argument comes from the Portland Cham-'
'bjr of Commerce and people in the. higher -walks of. com
nfci'ciahlife.' 1 ,- ' .:.
f.J;' But; 'what is sound in these days? . ' ' . ;
; Whot dares say what is sound with the United , States
government deserting the gold standard and issuing money
on' reserve banks and land banks and Jersey cow banks?
Is the present nionefary system truly sound? Of course
riot,;for its gold fails to buy its value in merchandise.'
Vhen that condition exists no monetary system is abso
lutely sound. . .,. ..'... V
,f. But you hear no complaint from the high financiers
on this score, you hear no complaint on many things of
in unsound nature which is now being done by a govern
What's the Matter?
Is Portland growing to such extent that she is taking
on all the habits of New York and other large cities?
Too bad, our dear old Portland the town where we
all love to go, the town which we are proud to call the
metropolis of thin great state.
Now comes the Wemran ''will case where several attor
neys forgot the ethics of their law schools and jumped onto
the will of a dead man with apparent intention of wrecking
the bequest. Of course, the supreme court, which is boss
of us all in the last analysis, would not stand for such a
grab and it recalled its mandate for correction, only to
set the fees of attorneys at a moderate amount so that
the Wemme fortune would remain of value and not be
dissipated in the-legnl row. t
:' litis11 Portland begun to slip from every angle?
. ' It is feared that politicians will, wreck the efforts on
German ability to pay reparations.- Gen. Dawes may have
use for. his full vocabulary.
;. Of the latest Hollywood scandal Will II. Hays has noth
ing .to say. His' vocabulary may be insufficient to enable
him to express, his views.
If the vote for Premier Poincare is an index, he fairly
represents French sentiment,' even if his policy riles sev
eral other nations.
