W. L. Thompsons Sound Views
At the Pendleton meeting of wheat farmers Suturday,
which was attended by several hundred producers of wheat
from the Inland Empire, VV. L. Thompson, former head
of. the American National bank at Pendleton and now vice
president of the First National bank of Portland, delivered
-an address on the proposed -plan for aiding wheat prices
that knocks the props from 'under the fellows who claim
(le, plan is not sound.
Mr. Thompson recited the operation controlling' American-made
goods protected by a tariff and called attention
to the long period of years this procedure has been in ex
istence, which proves conclusively that those who planned
1 the process of taxing home wheat in order to bring up
'the foreign price of wheal, which in turn acts directly
id advancing the price of wheat for home consumption,
.. .were merely taking the system used by manufacturers of
harvester machinery and the makers of iron and steel and
putting it in operation in wheat.
'' For many years the harvesting machinery houses when
overtaken with production that they couUl not market at
home have made a lower price to foreign countries in order
to. get rid of their goods. The same is true of iron and
-tee!, ' sewing machines and other articles made in this
- ebuntrv. Republicans have been forced to meet these fncts
.n campaigns for half a century and they have met them
"standing up firmly for protective tarilt, witn me luu Know-
.ledge that the surplus. of American factories was, being sold
1 other countries at a less price than the same goods were
;;old for at home. -
Mr. Thompson's address breathed consolation ' to the , -.
nun who is in earnest in this wheat campaign. It did more ! a wonmn r. . h u v.-hoi.: lot more

UMBER TRADE
LOOKS FIRMER
Tho lumber market Is vt-ry ac

thfc American Lumberman, Chl
cugo. Orders are freely offered by
both retailers and Industrial con
sumers, but tho mills, already cur
rying good-sized order files, are
booking with a great den) of ruu
tlon In view of the badly assorted
slocks usually on hand. Prices on
most popular items of both soft
woods und hardwoods have, shown
marked advances since the first of
the year, and the tendency remains
strongly upward. Prospects wure
rarely more encouraging than now,
und while tho desire for stabilized
conditions is strong within the lum
ber industry und co-operutive ef
forts may minimize the effect of
supply and demund upon the price
level, it la expected that the mur
ket will guther uddltlonul strength
within tho near future, rather than
weaken.
