Page Five PROCESSING TAX WOULD PAY FARMERS Continued ma ngt On.) under definite agreements that the normal purchases of meat by these agencies will not be reduced. The balance of the lower grades of meat, which would represent the major portion, resulting from this type of marketing should be con demned, tanked and such salvage realized "as would be possible with out serious Inconvenience to the us ual demand for this type of product", the committee urged. The committee made no definite recommendation as to the rate of a processing tax. It Is estimated that from $40,000,000 to $00,000,000 would be required to carry out the emer gency program. county Lb becoming an r.portant one and many families ore wholly depen dent upon It for their living. To have this business ruined or Injured In order that one man may "make twice the profit" he formerly made, seems to us very unwise, unfair and unjust to all of the other citizens of Union county. May we ak that the chamber of commerce take action to stop this most unjust and Injurious practice before It does any further damage. It Is unfair to the producers and the consumers of poultry here, to have this cold storage stuff sold here under the pretense that It is fresh killed poultry. That is surely "bogus advertising" as mentioned by Genera'. Johnson. Thanking you for taking action to prevent continuance of this practice, I am, . . Sincerely yoursr J. E.

Protests Against The Importing of Fryers (Continued From Page One) and boasted to me that he was "mak ing twice as much profit as could be made 'by tbuylng chickens from the producers here, In Lai Grande and vi cinity." The result has been complete de moralization of the poultry market here. Dealers, who wish to help build up a poultry and agricultural pros perity here and are willing to pay prices that will yield a profit to the sorely pressed producers, cannot do so because this Imported, cold stor age stuff has "knocked the bottom" out -of the market. The result is that the poultry producers of Union county have already suffered heavy losses and stand to suffer much heavier losses If this practice is to continue, and this means a direct loss to all of the business interests of La Grande, and the only person bene fitted is the dealer who boasts that he can "make twice as much profit" 'by patronizing a Portlond packing house as he can by patronizing the poultrymen and farmers, upon whose prosperity depends, to a large extent, the prosperity of La Grande and Un ion county. I have been requested by the poul try producers to take up with your association, the seriousness of this situation, and ask that you lend your efforts to correcting the evil. It oecms to us that there is something of far greater importance in uranae man making "twice the profit" for one dealer, at the expense of the entire poultry and farming Industry of tho county. And the loss is shared by every citizen of La Grande. I As a general rule the people who buy poultry, can afford to pay a fair ; price for fryer chickens. No one bene-; fits more than a few cents (except the dealer who boasts his profits on such sales Is doubled) while the ag- j gregate loss to the farmers and poul- j trymen of Union county runs into largo sums. I General Hugh S. Johnson, head of the NRA, condemns, in the strongest terms, "unfair price cutting and bo gus advertising" and promises to hit "those who practice these methods" a "sock on the nose that will wake them up." He urges that the people "boycott" all those who resort to such practices and we feel Justified It. ask ing the good people of La Grande, who are supporting President Roose velt In his campaign to bring pros perity to all branches of agricultuie to withdraw their patronage from those who are guilty of unfair meth ods in business,.
