CO-OPERATION IS PREACHED
3. E. Glide Tells of Making DIscot
' cry That Melons Ho Sold for
40 Cents Cost Retailer 91.60.
Revision, Is Under Way.
Practical euggrestlons for the develop
ment of more economical distribution
of foodstuffs were brought out yester
day by J. E. Glide, of Sacramento, a
larse California stockowner and
rancher. In connection with the
marketing reforms introduced into Cali
fornia by Harris Weinstock, who oc
cupies the recently-created office of
Btate Market Commissioner, Mr. Glide,
with other progressive minded produc
ers, has been helping to work out a
system of co-operation by which the
farmer will receive the maximum and
the consumer pay the minimum for
foodstuffs.
While .air. tiliae a primary interest ib
In stock raisins', as the owner of sev
eral large ranches he is also Interested
In the problems of the farmer and
truck gardener and intends to assist in
the further reforms which are to be
Instituted in his home state.
Results Are, Achieved.
"Mr. Weinstock was able to show the
producers and consumers what or
ganization could accomplish," he ob
served," for by organizing the dried
fruit and raisin industry he proved
that a difference of S6 per cent be
tween the amount paid by the consumer
and the amount paid to the farmer
could be materially cut down by effi
cient distribution. He produced the
same notable results when he under-tpok,-'.
n'ornw in the sale of fishery
products. Before long, California will
have its fish handled by the Btate
market.
"The old-fashioned methods In the
commission business are no longer
tolerated. I remember an occurrence
of seven years ago that gave me a
most striking ilustration of the old
marketing game. I bought some melons
from an Italian in San Francisco and
when I objected to his exorbitant prices
he told me that he was paying for
them at the rate of $1.60 a case. I
looked at the label on the box and saw
that they were my own melons and
that I was being charged a commission
bv a broker and receiving' 40 cents a
case. At this time I was sending a
steamer down the Sacramento River
every day loaded with my produce. I
merely put an agent on the dock in my
own pay and had him sell the produce
to San Francisco dealers. This brought
about a large saving.
Callfornlans) Get Good Prices.
"Many of the California producers
are obtaining reasonable prices for
their goods. The cattle market, how
ever. Is still far behind the market in
Oregon. "We have not the efficiency of
organization nor the quality of out
put which I have seen here.
"The condition of the livestock
market In California is unsatisfactory,
because of the control which is ex
ercised by the large producers. The
small producers drive a herd in from
the range and must dispose of It to the
bigger operators at the figure which
has been set for them. What we want
to do is to prevent the large producers
from swallowing the smaller ones.
"There must be greater efficiency In
the breeding of cattle and also in
caring for them. Give a man the best
stock In the world and show him the
bins of barley and oats, but unless he
knows the cattle thoroughly, he can
never fit them for the market."
Mr. Glide is certain that younger men
will be the organizers of more efficient
production and distribution. The re
forms which he has already seen put
Into practice, according to his opinion,
are already lowering the cost of living
and will lead to a scale of prices which
the ultimate consumer may contemplate
without alarm.
On Thursday Mr. Glide and his brother,
T. S. Glide, also of Sacramento, were
the guests of Julius I Meier on a ride
over the Columbia River Highway.
ELECTRICIAN HURT BY AUTO

C. C. Woodworth, an electrician for
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company was struck and severely in
jured yesterday morning at 2:30 by an

Mr. Woodworth was crossing the

holding an umbrella against the driv

car was foggy with moisture. After
striking Mr. Woodworth the car was
stopped in less than 10 feet.
Dr. J. J. Panton, who examined the
injured man, found that his right col

RATE CHIEFS COMING
Hearing Over Spokane Plea to
Attract Railroad Officials.
INDUSTRIES ARE AFFECTED
Interior Cities to Assert Monday
That Water Competition Has Been.
Eliminated and That Charges
to Terminals Need Changing.
Railroad " officials from many parts
of the country and traffic authorities
from all parts of the Pacific Coast will
gather In Portland next Monday to at
tend the hearing before an examiner of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
into transcontinental rate situation.
The entire transcontinental rate fabrlo
is involved. The future progress and
development of many Portland Indus
tries are affected. Industries at Se
attle, Tacoma and other Pacific Coast
terminals are similarly affected.
On application of the Spokane Cham
ber of Commerce and commercial or
ganizations in other interior cities the
commission is considering the advisa
bility of changing the schedules so that
the preferential rates that the Coast
terminals now enjoy by reason of water
competition will be eliminated.
Spokane is asking that rates of the
future be based on distance instead of
on competitive conditions.
Portland, Seattle and other Coast
terminals are opposing this view. The
railroads are supporting their conten
tion, although conducting a sepurate
case. The terminals cities and the car
riers are - agreed that the railroads
should be permitted to meet competi
tion as they find it
Spokane contends that water compe
tition exists here only in theory that
the war and the slides In the Panama
Canal have removed ocean-going ves
sels from the Pacific, and that traffic.
