31. H. Houser Believes Business
Will Go Back to Paying Cash
for Wheat in Country.
Though M. H. Houser, widely
known grain exporter and miller, de--clares
that the passage ot the Wash
ington state farm marketing bill,
with its' scope for the organization
of co-operative farmers' associations
and its possible effect on the price
of northwestern grown wheat, is of
little moment to him, ho likens the
probable result to that of 1917.
In that year, under supervision of
the federal grain corporation, it will
be recalled, the terminal marketing
system created bad congestion of ter
minals and traffic generally and
speedily led to a resumption of the
old status that of dealing, directly
with the grower.
"I am in full sympathy with the
wheat grower," said Air. Houser, com
menting on the co-operative plan, "in
bis attempt to protect himself In
every way possible. I feel that the
farmers, or growers, are free to dis
pose of their crops as they deem best,
and if they should prefer to sell their
wheat delivered at terminals, it is
quite agreeable to me. Since we are
millers and exporters and handle
nothing as middlemen, it is quite im
material whether we buy wheat de
livered at terminal or interior. It Is
unfortunate, however, that there will
have to be maintained a double sys
tem, and each supported in one way
or another, directly or indirectly, by
the wheat grower.
System Trie In 19 IT.
"Many farmers will not ship their
wheat to terminals. They preier to
ell it as in the past, receiving full
payment on surrender of the receipt.
In other words, they prefer to sell
their crop 'as is." rather than to sell
on basis No. 1 and be months in get
ting their final returns.
"The terminal system was fairly
well tried out on the crop of 1917,
when the grain corporation was buy
ing wheat. Incidentally, -this was
the first year the federal grading
system was put in vogue, and the
basic price for wheat was based on
federal grades.
"In previous years most of the
crop had been bought 'as is,' either on
sample, or on the interior agent's
conception or dickering with the
farmer. And it was a notorious fact
that because of interior competition
the average of the northwestern crop
1 was usually sold in the country for
at least one grade higher than when
It reached the terminal.
"As stated, the year 1917 marked
the inauguration of the federal grade
system, and as there had been little
experience among country buyers in
determining grades several confer
ences were held among farmers and
grain dealers. It was decided that
the fairest way would be to handle
crops as much as possible, or at least
when definite grades could not be ar
rived at under mutual understanding,
on a commission -basls;-g1vttig"the
farmer the identical returns the
wheat brought, less commissions for
hipping, looking after it, etc
Congestion Causes Delay.
" "In many instances there was de
lay in shipment due to congestion at
terminals, lack of cars, delay in get
ting certificates because of the
greater volume of wheat In the fall
month than the terminal force could
handle, so that by the end of the year
the arrangement proved very unsat
isfactory. The result was that the
following year they went back to the
old method of selling 'as is,' and dick
ering on the grade between the
farmer and the buyer.
"I merely point out what happened
In the past As for tho . future, if
any grower wishes to ship his wheat
to the terminal and sell it terminal
basis, we are quite well satisfied,, for
invariably our interior agents are
prone to overgrade. But I am in
clined to think that, after this method
of marketing has had a thorough test,
business will eventually drift back
Into the old way of selling in the
country, the grower being paid in full
on surrender of his receipts.
"It would be presumption on my
part to discuss the matter of financing-,
from the various angles pre
sented by co-operative marketing, as
that Is a matter between the grower
and his banker."

JIcADOO DEXIES FIGHTING TO
, "SAVE OUR SKTXS."
Autocracy Declared Slain on Bat
tlefield, But Mars Re-enthroned
in Politics.
HUNTINGTON, N, T., May 30.
William G. McAdoo, speaking today
at the dedication of a tablet to the
men of Huntington who served in the
world war, denied the "ignoble as
sertion that we fought merely to save
our own skins."
"I denounce as a calumny the state
ment that the brave men who fought
and died for America did so solely 'to
save the United States, and most re
luctantly and laggardly at that,' " said
McAdoo. "These men fought because
they loved liberty and were not will
ing to have it swept from the earth.
We lost on the battlefield of politics
the victory over war itself. Autocracy
was left dead on the battlefields, but
Mars, the god of war, was re-enthroned
in the political arena."
He asserted the world in many re
spects was in greater turmoil and
misery than when the armistice was
signed because the United States had
not done its part toward bringing
about that organization of the - na
tions which he said would assure in
the largest possible measure their
united co-operation.
Rejection- of membership in the
league of nations, he said, was a grave
mistake and he urged its proponents
to seek reconsideration of the verdict.
He advised entering into an agree
ment with Great Britain and Japan
for a reduction of naval armaments as
an important step toward relieving
burdens of taxation felt by all na
tions.
"Prostrate industry," he declared.
"cannot get upon its feet again, nor
stricken prosperity be brought back
to health until the crushing burdens
of taxation are materially reduced.
Let the world organize for peace in
order to procure peace and see if it
will not produce peace. .
RATE REDUCTION FLOUTED
LOWER , WAGES HELD JtEV FOR
ROADS TO BREAK EYEX.
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Of-
'ficial Expects So Flat Re
duction in Charges.
SPOKANE, Wash., May 30. (Spe
cial.) No general reductions in
freight or passenger railroad rates
will be made following the reduction
of wages of railroad workers sched
uled for July 1, according to state
ments made today by H. B. Earling,
vice-president of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad, upon his
arrival in his special car here today.
"The proposed reduction in railroad
wages scheduled to be announced
June 1 and to become effective July
1 is a step in the right direction, but
It does not mean that there will be
an immediate flat reduction in freight
or passenger rates," said Mr. Earling
today.
"Reduction in rates will come grad
ually in proportion to the speed of
the readjustments necessary before
pre-war railroad rates may be en
joyed. I do not believe there ever
will be a flat reduction in freight
rates.
"At thepresent time the railroads
are going behind financially. A fair
reduction in wages of the railroad
workers will put the roads on a basis
where they will break even, at least."

Fiavorable Effect on World
Trade Expected.
GROWTH WILL BE SLOW
Immediate Resumption of Xormal
Business Conditions Impossible,
. Says Guaranty Surrey.
Although unaffected, directly by
compliance of Germany with the rep
aration demands of the allies, the eco
nomic reactions in this country will
be most favorable, according to the
Guaranty Survey, published by the
Guaranty Trust company of New York
The action of Germany Is declared to
be a very material factor in the stab
ilization of world-wide economic con
ditions, i '
. Immediate resumption of normal
business conditions, however, is not
expected. The immediate effects, it
Is contended, may be more psycho
logical than material in character,
and those who expect sudden and
widespread revival in business as the
result of the agreement are likely to
be disappointed-
Collection of reparation payments
In such a way as not to disarrange
the European economic system is held
to be a. matter of the greatest lmpor
tance, and it is declared that the
domination of Europe by any one of
the greater powers would prove
misfortune. Germany must be allowed
to expand her trade if she is to make
the required payments. It la pointed
out,' and the more her exports grow
the greater will be her capacity to
utilize what other nations have to
sell.
ITnemploymeBt Still Grows.
Unemployment in the United States
is held to be one of the gravest con
sequences of the general economic
depression here, as in other countries.
Between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 peo
ple are without work in America, it
is declared, and, contrary to the gen
eral impression, the situation became
more aggravated during the past
month instead of showing improve
ment. Gains in some lines of industry are
shown to have been more than offset
in others, and the unemployment sit
uation is held to be a symptom of
many unfavorable conditions that
must be improved before enforced
idleness of workers can be overcome.
General business depression is held
the chief cause for prevailing unem
ployment, rather than seasonal varia
tions In production. The opinion is
expressed that, while some measure
of protection against unemployment
might result from a concerted effort
to regularize production as a whole
and from the correlation of seasonal
activities, no effective remedy for the
evil is possibly so long as business is
subjected to the fluctuating extremes
of prosperity and depression which
appear with the wide swings of rising
and falling general prices. Some cor
rection of employment conditions is
possible, moreover, by concentrating
activity in construction for public
purposes in periods when private in
dustries are undergoing retrench
ment. Such relief, it is held, can only
result, however, from a. well-defined
policy for long periods formulated
with a view to meeting future condi
tions. .
Encouraging Signs Noted.
Most encouraging of all signs noted
in the survey for the reduction of
unemployment is the country-wide
Increase in building activities, which
last month exceeded all other months
within the past year. Besides increas
ing labor demand, the building revival
ia looked to with considerable hope
Because it stimulates other industries
It is expected that the railroads will
enlarge their working forces when
the new wage rates become effective
and . the reduced wage scale is ex
pected also to strengthen the demand
for lower freight rates. Continuing,
the survey says:
"The outstanding development of
recent weeks in the field of finance
has been the decline in federal re
serve banks' discount rates. Fol
lowing action by the federal reserve
bank of Boston April 14, four other
federal reserve banks have reduced
their discount rates on commercial
paper since the first of May, attended
by some easing of rates in New
York city.
"Lower interest rates, as evidence
of an easier credit condition, have
been eagerly awaited for months.
The recessions in rates recorded in
recent weeks have tended to confirm
the belief that the worst of the credit
strain -has passed, that the further
readjustment which is necessary will

be effected under more favorable
credit conditions than have obtained
since last summer.
Credit Situation Eased.
"The reduction in federal reserve
bank rediscount rates on commercial
paper marks a definite easing of the
credit situation in general. While
they reflect the steady improvement
in the reserve position of the federal
reserve banks, they are chiefly sig:
nificant as an Indication that liqui
dation has proceeded so far as te
remove the necessity for further forc
ing of liquidation by means of the
7 per cent rate formerly maintained
in several districts.
"Moreover, the easier credit situ
ation in this country is not an iso
lated condition. Since the first of
March bank discount rates have been
reduced in England, Sweden, Den
mark, Switzerland, Belgium and
India. The fact that the current
easinsr of credit lei a general condi
tion increases the probability that
the improvement in this country
will be sustained.
"We are witnessing the repetition
of a similar experience in the ac
cumulation of bank reserves coinci
dent with retarded business activity.
Such conditions ordinarily precede a
period of declining interest rates,
which, in turn, tend to stimulate
borrowings for productive purposes.
This reaction is not altogether auto
matic, however, for the cost of bor
rowed money is but one of several
elements in the general cost of pro
ducing goods. A downward trend of
commodity prices and wages may
wholly offset the stimulating effect
of cheapened money, with receding
interest rates accompanied for a time
by further depression in business.
Difficult Point Passed.
"Accordingly, it should not be ex
pected that the decline In Interest
rates which has been recorded will
suffice of Itself wholly to relieve
business of the depression through
which it is now passing. And it is
better that the liquidation should be
thorough than that a premature, par
tial revival, which could not be sus
tained, should engender false hopes
respecting an Immediate return of
e-nnprAl nrosDeritV.
"How promptly and to what extent
business in general in this country
will be stimulated by the lower dis
count rates will depend upon funda
mental factors In the industrial situ
ation itself. The relative stagnation
in many commodity markets, the ex
pectation that general prices will re
cede further, and especially the lack
of balance In commodity prices, are
the chief deterrent of enterprise at
the present time. The event may
show that one-half per cent or 1 per
cent more or less in the discount
rate has been of slight moment in
affecting the volume of borrowings,
and that only further reductions will
induce any marked increase in bor
rowings for productive purposes.
"It is to be noted that the decline
in outside rates has not been equal
to the reductions in the rates at the
federal reserve banks. Nevertheless,
the lowering of discount rates is Im
portant as a step in the process of
restoring a more normal credit con
dition, which must precede a general
acceleration of business activity. It
I. a definite indication, as nan uecu
nointed out. that the most difficult
phase of the credit cycle has been
passed."
