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.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Oct. 26. (Spe
cial.) The city council has appointed
William K. Hart chief of police. Mr.
Hart, who has been night officer for
the past three years, succeeds Joseph
Frailer, recently resigned.
Air. Hart, familiarly known as Bill,
and a native Kentuckian, gained noto
riety last Spring at the primary elec
tion when friends wrote in his name
as democratic candidate for sheriff.
When the county's official vote
reached Salem, it was concluded that
the big Bill Hart of motion picture
fame was meant. Press stories were
given nation-wide publicity, and as a
result Mr. Hart recently received a
letter from the widow of a French
officer offering him the use of a cha
teau should he desire to visit France.
He forwarded the epistle to the mo
tion picture star.

zimova will appear before local mo
tion picture audiences at the Colum
bia theater for a week, starting to
day. 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.
Written by one of the leading
dramatic writers of the day and en
acted by undoubtedly the most fin
ished actress in the world, "Madame
Peacock" is a masterly and telling
portrayal of the soul of a remarkable
woman.
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. Smallwood

accept a heavy financial loss in view
of the existing situation.

Nothing speaks louder than facts. For
those who relish the delicious flavor of
real maple, Maple Karo is preferred
everywhere.
Maple Karo is not an " imitation
flavor." The Com Products Refining
Company, makers of Maple Karo,, are
the world's largest users of the best

Bach year over a thousand tons of
the purest maple sugar are used to make
Maple Karo.
This sugar comes from the richest
maple groves in Vermont and Canada.
There isn't a delicacy that comes to
your table that you will enjoy more than
the new Maple Karo on waffles or hot
cakes, or as a spread on bread, or crisp,
buttered toast.
And the price is remarkably moderate
in fact lower thanany other syrup of
