ALL ACTION INDEPENDENT Former Administrator Said Merelj Have Told Representative to leetlng at the tened- to Mrs. I e flr. tall 1 teachers of the state, me Presbyterian church, list Maude Junkin Baldwin of Chicago tell or the religious education of the American child. Prior to the address of Mrs. Baldwin John W. Hoyt of Ashland, spoke briefly concerning summer school work. Mrs. Baldwin said that approxi mately half of the grammar school children of the United States do not receive proper religious training. It is a problem, che said, that every Sunday school teacher must face in dividually and every denomination must band together to overcome. J. X Hansaker of Portland asked for the aid of everyone in behalf of i tne starving children of Armenia. Directly following yesterday after- LABOR NOMINEE OUT FOR STATU SENATE. Body What Was to Be Done. That Herbert Hoover had little to do with setting the price of wheat during the war and that the price was fixed by the committee of 12 named by President Wilson for that purpose and not by Mr. Hoover is the informa tion contained in a statement re ceived by W. B. Ayer, former federal food administrator for Oregon, from Dr. E. F. Ladd, president of the North Dakota agricultural college and a member of the committee of 12. "Considerable uncertainty exists as to Just how the fixed price of wheat wae arrived at," said Mr. Ayer In presenting - the statement from Dr. Ladd. "The bill passed by congress authorized the president to fix the price of wheat, and this he did by ap pointing a committee of 12 to make recommendations. To ascertain what part Mr. Hoover played in the matter I asked President Ladd, who was one of those representing the farmers on the committee, to furnish me with a statement that would fully cover the matter." Dr. Ladd is recognized throughout the country as a leader of a movement to secure better mar ket conditions for the 'farmer, and from his statement it is clear that the price was. fixed by the committee and not by Mr. Hoover." rommlltrr Names O i veil. The statement of President Ladd of the North Dakota Agricultural col lege, as submitted to Mr. Ayer, is as follows: "The committee appointed to fix the price of wheat was composed of rep resentatives of producers, consumers and labor, as follows: Dr. H. A. Gar field, president of Williams college. chairman; Charles A. Barrett, presi dent farmers' union. Union City, Ga. ; William N. Doak. brotherhood of rail road trainmen, Roanoke, Va., Eugene E. Funk, president National Corn as sociation, Bloomington, 111.; Edwin F. Ladd. president North Dakota Agri cultural college, Fargo. N.

Sullivan, American Federation of Labor, Brooklyn. N. Y. ; L. J. Tabor, master of Ohio State grange, Barnes vine. O.; Frank W. Taussig, chairman of federal tariff commission. Wash ington; Theodore N. Vail, president American Telephone & Telegraph company. New York; Henry J. Waters, president Kansas State Agricultural college, ' Manhattan. Kan. "Mr. Rhett only met on the first and possibly the second day with the com mittee and returned home on account of Illness. Dr. Garfield was chairman presiding at all the conferences and all votes until the final, as I now re call, were informal on slips of paper unsigned and ranged on the first bal lot from $1.65 to $2.55. As I now re call, Mr. Hoover appeared before the committee but twice, once as the com mittee was organizing setting forth, as I assume, in general the request of President Wilson that it was the de-1 eire that the committee proceed to investigate, to give due weight to all facts, and finally to attempt to estab lish what would be a reasonable price to be paid the producer for wheat, at the terminal market. The committee wae then left to work by ttself so far as Mr. Hoover was concerned, until the last day and hour when the com mittee notified Mr. Hoover that it had reached an agreement, at which time Mr. Hoover appeared and the committee accompanied Mr. Hoover to the White House to present its find ings through Mr. Hoover to President Wilson Labor for Low Price. "Naturally, the representatives of labor sought to hold the price of wheat at such a point as would still make possible the selling of a 5-cent loaf of bread. I felt that they did not appreciate the farmers' viewpoint, that there must be a reasonable profit to stimulate the growth of wheat; neither did theyeeem to realize the expense to which the farmer was be ing put by the high cost of labor, of farm machinery and' by the shortage of help, while those who represented the farmers endeavored to seek what they believed was only a fair and reasonable price that should be guar anteed so that we should not only produce the necessary amount of wheat for our own people but en able us through increased acreage to insure food for the allies. They, therefore, felt that the farmer should receive approximately $2.50 per bushel for wheat and the price that wheat was selling for at that time was above $2.7 0 per bushel, if my memory serves me correctly. "Gradually the price was raised on the part of the committee, as was in dicated from the informal ballots, until the last day, late in the after noon, when all of the facts thus far gathered had been carefully weighed and due consideration given on the part of the committee to the needs of tho consumer and proper return to the farmer, Mr. Vail made the motion that the price be fixed at $2.20 per bushel. It was evident at that time that unless there could be reached an agreement to $2.20 it would be necessary that afternoon to report a disagreement in the committee and two reports would be submitted, a minimum of $1.65 to $1.85. for which the representatives of labor and con sumers in general were standing, and the price of somewhere around $2.60 for those who were endeavoring to ive the farmer a reasonable return for the production of this crop and to so stimulate production that wheat should be available for the needs of our country and the allies. It was felt that if such reports were made that with what seemed to be the prevail ing sentiment of administrative be lief at the time that it was doubtful if the price would be fixed above $1.85 a bushel. It seemed wise, there fore, that there sl.ould be an unan imous report rather than a divided re port and the compromise was made on the price of $2.20, which recommenda tion was signed by all members of the comittee, except Mr. Rhett, who was absent. I feci now, as I felt at thA" time, that the prjee established was too low, but it worked out better than I feared it would and the Amer ican farmer responded remarkably well." , Is x I t I w ' 4 " "V- It i i l iix i 2'5v i t f At t f vs y - sr""- & $ ty aXrH if K t ' 3! t h ; ? r 1 U' - x J? t C.

E. Kiddle, Vnless Electors Arce to Raise Bonding Limit. "During the year 1919 the state highway commission distributed the ' road contracts in a manner to give all i sections some improvement, distribut ing thQ funds fairly and the work I generally. This policy was generally j commended, but has lert gaps in the work," says R. A. Booth, member of the commission. "If the constitutional amendment raising the state bonding limit from 2 to 4 per cent carries, we will fill in the gaps this year and connect most of the heavy work already done. There will be long stretches of fin ished work by this fall if all goes well. "We ddn't propose to rush the game if the bond-extension privilege is voted. We mean to plan carefully and do our best to -get the worth of moiey expended. We cannot formulate our plans for the future until we know the result of the vote. "The benefit of good roads was re cently brought out forcibly to my at tention in Benton county;' where I own a farm. I shipped from the state quarry last fall 40 tons of lime, pay ing teams $8 a day for two loads, each containing a ton. With a small truck one man hauled nine tons at a cost of 98 cents per ton, or at a saving of $3.02 on each ton. "This was made possible by spend ing $1000 on the road in co-operation with the county. A good road first of all ts the poor man's friend, and the producer cannot afford to be with out it." "Unless the constitutional, amend ment permitting the issuance of addi tional bonds passes at the May elec tion," says E. E. Kiddle of the state highway commission, "no more road building can be undertaken by the state. Not only will the road pro gramme have to stop, but unless funds are made available the state will not be able to match the federal appropriations for post roads, of which there are many miles not yet started in Oregon.

How Organic Iron -Nuxated Iron Solves the Problem of Iron Deficiency and Helps Build up in Pale, Anaemic, Nervous Women the Enduring Health and Vigorous Strength That Red-Blooded Men Have. Tens of thousands of American women are starving their blood and weakening their bodies for want of iron. Rarely do you see a woman who is not paler and more care worn than a man of the same age. This is chiefly due to the greater proportion of anaemia lack of . . II - . ...nMAM iron in me uiuuu auiuug w umu.
