i Milk Control? Cui Bono?
Milk control is a complicated question. That is one of
the very few statements- that may be made about it without
fear of contradiction. Discussing previously this issue which
is before the voters November 5 on a repeal initiative meas
ure. The Statesman made the point that milk control in-
wolves a denial of free enterprise, strictly in the field of
domestic milk supply; a point which mig-ht be considered
decisive- unless milk for direct consumption be considered
a public utility.
There is something to be said for making it a public
utility. Milk is as universal a commodity: as electricity: the
consumer-has as much of a stake in the assurance of a con
stant, adequate and safe supply. But if it should be decided
that it is a public utility, further, progress toward protec
tion of the consumer's interest, specifically in the matter of
price, would be possible.
Everyone agrees that the portion of the consumer's price
which- goes for distribution is too high. Half a dozen milk
wagons drive past most every consumer's door daily, and
that is one reason it is too high. Establishment of a tighter
control which' would prevent this, which would assign
definite territory to each distributor, would make possible
sdme reduction in the distribution price. The amount of this
reduction is difficult to estimate.
But we are voting upon milk control as it is, and not
as it might be. Though most any statement on 'this issue
is subject to challenge, we have settled to our own satisfac
tion two points:
1. The administration of the milk control law has im
proved as those in charge have gained experience.
2. The consumer is at least as well off under milk con
trol as before; thus it becomes strictly a question whether
milk control is beneficial or harmful to the milk industry,
and fair or unfair to individuals in that industry.

noted that milk control came into existence because of a
problem that existed in Portland. Early administration
sought to impose upon the entire state, a solution that was
necessary only in Portland. Since the 1939 legislative ses-
f a M A u ' u u. ? W U a e m.
ion ne mils: control Doara nas graouany witnarawn irom
most of the areas where its services were not necessary.
The second point boils the problem down essentially to
a matter nt nrithmptii For thi nnnrr nf millr t7hfi now
costs 11 cents in Portland, the producer of "market milk"
' now receives 4.35 cents. This nroHncer find it Tiwp!!irv
to install and. operate certain sanitation equipment which
adds to his costs. The milk producer who produces only
factory milk receives for it 3.28 cents a quart. For two
reasons, his costs are considerably less. First, sanitation re-
iuucurcuu uvi bu ocx lujjcui. occuuu, lie may pruuuce as
little or as much milk as conditions indicate. The "market
milk producer must at all times fulfill his "quota," which
means that at certain times he will produce considerably
more than his quota. Despite some progress in adjusting
uinnl i kmJi.iO.V. 4V: '.. 1 i
in spring and early summer months to as much as 35 per
cent, mis "surplus milk brings only the factory price.
Thus the spread of slightly more than a cent between
the producer's price for market and factory milk is not as
great -as it seems. The point we are driving at is this : That
if the; privilege of supplying the domestic market is not
outstandingly valuable, the quasi-monopoly feature is not so
serious. Once again, on this point we invite comment from
the milk producers.
In comparison to the period from 1920 to 1930, the
milk consumer in Portland has benefitted from lower milk
prices and the producer the one with a quota has bene
fitted from a greater share of the consumer's price. In com
parison to the period from 1930 to 1934 when milk control
became effective, the producer with a auota has received
a higher price for the portion of his milk sold on the domes
tic market. This milk control has served, as a protection to
the producer with a quota against any possible machina
tions of the distributor who might seek to profit unduly.
In justice to the distributors as a ctoud. it should be
pointed out that they apparently are satisfied with a fair
proiit and Ute guaranty of an orderly market; they do not
appear to be behind the opposition to milk con.trol.- Never
theless this angle of the issue does stand out; repeal would
vl tnew the possibility of milk wars and victimizing of the
producers, not Because that would be the will ox a majority
I tne distributors but because sharp practices would be
started by a few.
Right there, in our opinion, is the decisive point. In
A--f.J.-? 1 M 111. A- 1 It. ? " 1 T V
cwuawcnus rcpeau oj. mui control, ui conditions wmcn
brought it into existence deserve 'primary attention. Unless
it is shown either that those conditions never really prevailed
or that they can be prevented by other means, the law should
be retained. We haverall alonsr. felt that this was a matter
to. be settled by the legislature after extensive hearings; That
solution would have the special advantage that if necessary,
other safeguards could be substituted. The way to hand the
issuerback to the legislature would be to defeat it at the polls.
; George E. "Waters
All Salem was shocked to learn on Sunday of the un
timely passing of a substantial, public-spirited, widely-beloved
citizen, George E. Waters. Salem mourns its loss ; those
citizens who knew Mr. Waters but casually as all knew him,
extend their sympathy to his widow and to the close friends
to whom his passing is a more personal sorrow.
.Yet coupled with the community's sadness is a gratifi
cation that the events of the last two years have been as
they have been. To Mr. Waters was given the time and the
opportunity to perform a distinct service to the community
hi loved, in the construction of an athletic jfk of which the
city may be proud and in the introduction here of prof es--sional
baseball. The community, for its part, was privileged
through this development to become better acquainted with
had marked his long residence here, and to pay tribute to
tht man for all that he represented. t ;.
J 3 Because these things earns to pass the eonummity loss
: is even greater than it might otherwise have been, but it is
Izzs bitter. And for the same reason, it is not now necessary
to express in words the community's appreciation of the man.
His record and Salem's gratitude both speak for themselves.

On a sunny August morning a

He had the glassy eye, the blank

He walked with aa Unnatural

though his shoes had seen a lot
of wear, they ahone bravely.
Of their own accord, Stephen's
feet led him round the first turn

which ho passed nightly on his
way to the bus station. The relief
office was In Rundle street and
outside It a line of men shuffled
and lounged while they waited

than three hundred dollars in the
bank; and the eheek for two

long. When It was gone what?
Stephen ground his teeth. He
would find another Job. He must.
But even as ho swore it he real
ised, that if ho did find one. he
could not hope for anything like
his former salary of three hun
dred dollars a month. Even that
had been barely sufficient tor his
family's needs. A smaller salary
would mean that his boy, Michael,
would have to go to work at once
and his daughters, Dorothy and
Ann, as well. Perhape he had no
right to have other plans for

son a doctor, to rebel at the

And at the back of km mind
there had been the thought ot
half-sister Octavla's money, not
for himself, but for them. In the

Tbe proposal Is to set up s unit
which Would hsve powers similar
to those possessed by a municipal
corporation for the purpose of de
veloping or purchase ot electrical
energy and Its distribution within
or without the district prescribed,
as well ss enter into the develop
ment sad salt of domestic water.
. e e
To administer the affairs of
this undertaking (estimated by
the state - hydroelectric commis
sion to cost IS.1S8.117 snd to
hsve an eventual annual revenue
of $1,307,9X8) the voters will be
asked to' elect a board of five
members.
Candidates for Marlon county
PUD board are: G. C. Pomeroy. a
grocerymaa of Monitor; Herbert
E. Barker, packing house fore
man. Salem; J. O. Farr, farmer,
Jefferson; O. A. Olson, dentist.
Salem; Luther J. Chapln. bulb
farmer. Mission Bottom; Ernest
Werner, mlllworker. Silverton;
and Urban Kirk, farmer. St. Paul.
By present occupation these
men may be successful but none
of them la outstanding for knowl
edge of the electrical power bus
iness, a highly technical and spe
cialised industry. ' And. with one
or two. exceptions, none ot these
men has. to our knowledge, bad
any experience in administering
affairs' of a huge undertaking,
such as they would be called upon
to do under the proposed PUD.
Although tht ballot measure is
not a proposal to issue bonds. It
does provide for the setting up ot
a board which would have ex
tremely wide power to levy taxes.
Wtlhout voting bonds or ther-
wise consulting the taxpayers, the
board would be authorised (if
given a majority vote in Novem
ber) ta borrow money and lnear
indebtedness . . . up to tho or
dinary annual Income and revenue
ot tht district
