official word came from Wash
ington. Some Retailers
Happy Over Ruling
A checkup about town showed
many retailers were happy orer
the invalidation of AAA. One
large dealer in meats said he had
Beyer been able to collect enough
from Increased retail prices to
pay the $500 a month processing
tax bis firm was assessed. "As a
reanlt we have kept eating Into
oar assets and the suspension of
the tax means putting our busi
ness back oa an even keel' he
declared. "I think the public can
expect some' reduction in prices
on. pork 'sad also some increase
to the grower of hogs. The $2.25
hundred processing tax came in
part from the grower, in part
from the pnblic and in part from
reduced margins to the retailer."
Grocers predicted an eventual
decline in floor prices although
they said the supply of high
grade, blended flour was scarce
this: winter and the result has
been a stiff price.
' Hop men were set back in their
plans for a cooperative production
control agreement. All hopes for
direct help from AAA were gone.
When R. H. McDrew, federal rep
resentative, was here last week he
had promised possible help for
the hop men through the 30 per
cent of federal import taxes on ag
ricultural products set aside for
AAA. President Roosevelt yester
day recommended repeal of this
act and that outlet for hop coop
eration vanished. Only possibility
for the growers was a voluntary
cooperative association in which,
without federal help, they would
agree to red need production and
to destroy surplus through a self
imposed tax. Prospects to get
enough growers signed to accom
plish Ahis seemed slight with fed
eral assistance removed. .
Corn-Hog Contract
Procedure Unknown
Harry Riches, county agent,
said no word had been received
regarding the next step on corn
hog contracts, and the procedure
to be followed on wheat produc
tion contracts. However, advices
from Washington were that all
treasury payments on these con
tracts -were ordered stopped last
night and AAA employes were or
dered from the federal payrolls.
As a result remaining one-half
payments on Old contracts for
corn-hog producers may not be
met.
Marion county will not be af
fected as adversely as many-sections.
It was pointed out. Acreage
of wheat here averages slightly
more than -8000. Under the feder
al reduction program the acreage
annual hog production has been
14.682 in this connty. Corn pro
duction has 'been reduced to 3803
acres.

never been put into operation

out that invalidation of the feder
al act did not necessarily mean
the state act, aa amended, would
be invalidated since power to reg
ulate production by states did not
come under the ban of the su
preme court decision.
' Capital observers pointed out,
however, that state AAA's follow
ed the national act, and that Ore

tinue her act unless a majority of
the states had similar acts- a
condition that does not prevail.
Market Quotations
Little Affected
i Salem market quotations Mon
day showed no reflections of the
supreme court decision invalidat
ing the federal AAA, but dealers
knd wholesalers, especially on
wheat and corn products, were in
clined to doubt that any immedi
ate drop in prices will follow the
court decision.
A reduction in the price of pork
to the consumer is held probable
as result of death of the process
ing tax on pork, but how soon this
will be effective the largest buy

edge yesterday. The hog market
did drop 25 cents yesterday, but
this is not as great a change as
has occurred one way or the oth

Wheat dealers and wholesalers
here indicated yesterday their be

drop in price, for at least the
si. 35 per barrel tax which has
prevailed. They argue that pur

Editorial

WHAT KIND OP STATE? "
Stung by the criticism of the
two Salem papers the Oregonian
denounces the original program
for a S3, 500, 000 state capitol of
which this state was to contribute
only $1,925,000 as "grandiose,"
far beyond Oregon's real needs
and adds that the people never,
never would have stood tor it.
Washington spent about $8,000,-
000 en her capitol. Utah and Ida
ho, each with about half Oregon's
population spent considerably
more than Oregon would have had
to pay if the "grandiose" program
had gone through. What kind of a
state does the Oregonian think
Oregon is anyhow? The rank and
file of the folks out on the fsrms
and in the stores and shops have
a lot more faith in their state's fu
ture than that Baker Democrat
