MARKET
BODY IS DEBATED
R. E. Smith Speaks For and
C. C. Chapman Against.
RURAL ALARM SOUNDED
Affirmative Speaker Declares Cora
.mission Will Tend to Slake
l'ariuing More Profitable.
Robert E. Smith and C. C. Chapman
debated the merits 6t the proposed
market commission hill, which is on
the November ballot, at the Press club
luncheon yesterday noon. Mr. Smith
spoke in favor of the bill and Mr.
Chapman took the negative.
In opening the debate Mr. Smith
described the conditions in the aKri
cultural industry at the present time.
"The fact Is," said Mr. Smith, "that
farminp has become an unprofitable
industry. The drift of population is
toward the cities, where men are at
tracted on account of the abundance
of work at high wages.
City Drift Held Menace.
"Where there were formerly three
men encaged in agricultural occupa
tions there are now only two. This
is a serious condition and a menae
to the stability of the nation.
"It is to the direct interest of the
consumer that the farmer and the
producer should be prosperous, be
cause when they cannot produce and
market their products at a profit, they
stop producing. Take the dairy in
dustry for example. In the last year
thousands of dairy cattle have gone
to the block. This means that your
supply of milk in the cities' is men
aced. "The consumer may feel that the
cost of living is high enough and that
the entrance of the co-operative as
sociations. which this proposed mar
ket commission bill will foster, will
increase the cost of the products of
the farm to the consumer. The ex
perience of states where the co-operative
associations are flourishing is to
the contrary. As a matter of fact,
of the dollar that you spend for farm
products, the farmer gets only 27
cents. The rest goes in transporta
tion and in getting the product to
you.
Co-operation lit FoMtered.
"The market commission bill pro
Tides for a market commissioner and
an assistant whose duty it shall he
to foster and promote the organiza
tion of co - operative associations
among producers. These associations
have in California and other states
made the farmers and producers pros
perous. And when they are prosper
ous the whole state is prosperous,
and every fr.t, business man and
iahorer, benefits because of improved
:i-iliods of marketing. One (armor
producing only a couple hundred sacks
of potatoes is helpless in improving
conditions in the potato industry, but
an organization of several hundred or
a thousand potato growers could im
prove the product, improve market
ing and insure reasonable returns to
the producer.
"We have the choice, better condi
tions among tho farmers with pros
perity and contentment.' or present
conditions with an unprofitable in
dustry, ' discontent and a turning
toward socialistic organizations like
the non-partisan league for relief."
Ilill Called Paternalistic.
Mr. Chapman declared that the
present bill was more rigid and more
drastic than the California bill, upon
which the Oregon measure is based.
"The bill is frankly paternalistic."
he said, "and I am opposed to it be
cause it introduces the element of
government regulation and interfer
ence with private industry. We have
built up this country and its prosper
ity as the result of private initiative,
and it is not necessary to have a mar
ket commissioner and the regulation
of marketing associations In order to
foster co-operation among producers.
Other states have had and California
had co-operative associations without
a market commissioner. It is a step
toward state socialism and is advo
cated merely In order to promote the
growth of the non-partisan league, a
socialist organization." Mr. Chapman
read & letter from a representative
of an association of Tillamook cheese
producers opposing the market com
mission bill.
Mr. Smith in rebuttal read extracts
from letters from bankers, business
men. farmers and producers of Cali
fornia recounting the benefits that
are said to have flowed from the
adaption of the market commission
bill la California.

Sudden Release of Rolling Stock

Special.) The mills of this section
report that there has been a sudden
release of freight cars and that they
now are getting all that tbey can pos

Two weeks ago it -was impossible
to get anywhere near requirements.
Others needing rolling stock, particu
larly the cannery, were similarly in
convenienced. '
I.ow prices of lumber, high freight

now the only things worrying the
mill operators for the moment.
