10 5 STATE MARKET BILL THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1920 BUS Farmers Must Be Aflowed Just Return on Products. - LEADERSHIP IS NEEDED IPromlnent Portland Citizens Tell "Why" They Favor Co-operatlv Plan of Handling Foodstuffs. Elimination of speculation in food commodities to the benefit of the con sumer, insurance of a commensurate return to the farmer for his investv ment, time and labor expended, and general prosperity that will re sult to Oregon through creating world markets for Us products, are the three important reasons assigned by a number of leading Portland business men for giving their unreserved sup port to the proposed state market commission act. "Decrease In the production of farm products, with a resulting' shortage and famine prices. Is bound to occur unless the fanner Is allowed a lust re turn for what he produces," - said Franklin T. Griffith, president of the Portland Railway Light '& Power company. "Increased production only will be secured, when a fair profit to the producer is assured." Marketing Will Be Aided. "Co-operative marketing, which will be given Impetus through the crea tion of a state market commission, will go a long way toward insuring the farmer a just price for his prod ucts." stated Mr. Griffith. "At the same time." he said "it will do away with speculation in food stuffs, which is a burden largely borne by the con sumer." The need for state leadership and a state official, to guide the farmer in the establishment of co-operative marketing associations is emphasized by W. B. Aver, president of the East ern and Western Lumber company and former federal food administrator for Oregon. "Without assistance," he said, "the farmer is to a large extent helpless when it comes to organizing co-operative marketing associations. He lacks the time and the experience necessary for such efforts. "The state market commission will provide an experienced leader for such work, one of whose chief duties will be to render all the assistance neces sary to organize such associations properly and in accordance with the laws of the state. LegrlNlntlon Is Important. Viewing the state market commis sion act from the standpoint of the prosperity that it will bring to Or egon, as well as its direct benefits to the farmers and consumers, William MacMaster, financial agent and chair man of the legislative committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, says that it is one of the most im portant pieces of legislation ever put before the voters of Oregon. "One of the duties of the market director," he said, "is to Improve, broaden 'and extend in every practi- ..kl. .A .. 4 1. i4l s,iihitt(nii " .. .-I daIa of any Oregon products throughout the markets of the world. Taken in conjunction with the establishment of co-operative marketing associations this provision should mean millions of dollars to the people of this state." "In California under the supervision of a state market commission the co operative associations are annually doing a business of more than $200, 000.000," he said. "The state market commission has given a golden re ward to California. There is no rea son why the same results will not be effected in Oregon. Co-operation Will Protect. J. C. Ainsworth, president of the United States National bank, said of the measure: "Co-operation has proven a great protection, as well as profit to the producer, bringing his products di rect to the consumer on a stabilized market, which will insure a fair pro fit to him, and at the same time a cheaper price to the consuming public. The farmers and consumers should support the bill, it was drawn to pro tect them." "By extending support to the state market commission bill the business men and city residents can Bhow the farmer that they are willing to meet him halfway in solving his difficul ties," says Adolph Wolfe, of Lipman, Wolfe & Co. "The interests of the farmer and the city dweller are bound up together in this. That the prosperity of one is determined by the prosperity of the other. If the farmers are prosperous, cities will be prosperous. This measure will do good for every interest in the state." HART IS POLICE CHIEF XigT-Ut Of fleer at Hood IUver Sow Head of Force.

This latest photoplay, from a story by Rita Weiman, will present the Russian star as Jane Goring, a bril liant stage celebrity, who finds the heights of fame somehow do not bring the complete happiness she had imagined.

At the same time, and later in the story, Nazimova comes to the front in a second character as Gloria Cromwell, the gifted, nondescript little girl to whom Jane Goring is rather more than a goddess. Chief in support of Nazimova is George Probert, and others impor tant in the cast are John Steppling, William Orlamon-d, Rex Cherryman, Albert Cody, Gertrude Claire and Mrs. Woodthorpe. Ray C.
