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 O. C. WoodwortU Sustains Fractnred Collarbone; Driver Not Blamed. C. C.

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. instead of flowing through the term-1 lnals by water, actually moves through them by rail.
