Telephone . - POWER DEVELOPMENT AND RECLAMATION ARE )'' "" , ANALOGOUS V' . ir T is natural that the president of the state farm bureau should I -. believe in the development of the Umatilla rapids project and should have no aversion to asking government aid for . an 1 1 . . . A A 4- It 1-1 such a project, ine ieaerai government ue us money mc millions to reclaim waste land that is now producing aiiana ami nther errniQ in nrrmptitinn with the ctods srrown on other land. .The farmers of the west did nbtobject to this course. .They placed th public good above their private interests! in the mat ter. They took the position that while more reclamation meant more compeuuuu iur uieiu it iau iucuih icm.ci ucri.iun"v. and settlement and that from these things all people gain. as logical for the government to help reclaim waste water pow er as to reclaim waste land, only mors so. Mr. Mansfield is likewise correct in his position that regulatioahas not solved the power question. Regulation may be relied upon in a measure to legulate rates of existing companies although there is a wide spread belief that it is not doing so. " But regulatory laws will , not bring about the construction of big projects like the Umatilla 'rapids project In fact regulatory law tends to keep private capital from developing such projects. Here is why. Should the private electric interests build the Umatilla rapids project our regulatory laws would require that the power developed be sold at a reasonable price above the cost of production. That would mean low priced power from a plant that could send an . electric current all over Oregon and Washington. Hence it would mean a decided reduction in present charges in the north west The electric companies are not wanting such a reduc tion in the price of their product so it is logical to assume they will not develop the project or desire to see it developed. There fore the futility of waiting for private construction of such a . project ; (- ; .,. , .. J .. . " - - ;. The Columbia basin power should be- developed through federal aid or by means of money from some other public source. That is the fair way to do the thing and the only practical way to secure results within anything like the immediate future. Power development and reclamation are analogous. ........ao.. . A SOME POINTS ABOUT THE WHEAT SITUATION THE grain crops are not quite up to last year, having suffer ;d iniurv under the heat and dry weather of July. In the ' Jnited States aod Canada late estimates make the total .yield ibofft the same as last year, with the former country a lit ; tie under and the latter a little over last year's. ' : ST , m j 1 1 1 J Owing to the emergency customs duty ot 3i cents per Dusnei it is probable that less Canadian wheat will "come into this coun try than last year, but as much of the spring wheat grown in the Minneapolis territory is of poor quality it will be necessary for " the mills to bring in considerable for mixing purposes, to main tain the grade of their flower. The tariff will add to the cost of flour to that extent, and recent statements at Washington again raise the question whether this tariff really does anybody any good. - Tbus Mr. J.R. Howard, president of the American Farm . Bureau Federations in a statement before the Interstate Com merce commission in behalf of a reduction of freight rates on grain, is quoted in the Washington dispatches as follows: "J. R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Fed eration, said that prices on graft were fixed where the surplus accumulates, usuany in Liverpool, mm w wn v i vum mission, and the cost of transporting the grain to the points where the prices are made was what the ' producer received. "Therefore, he added," any increase or decrease in freight rates was felt direetly by the farmer." ; , '. 5 . This is so much like what was said in these columns last fall when the movement for putting a duty 'upon wheat was started, that we feel justified in referring to it We said then that Kan sas City, Chicago, Minneapolis, Winnipeg and other worl1 mar kets moved together, affected by common influences, and that go long as this country and Canada were both exporting largely " to Liverpool, prices in both countries would be approximately the same ; and that if all Canadian wheat went to Liverpool it would compete with our wheat and take the place of our wheat as truly as though it came into this market. . As a matter of fact all the new tariff has done to Canadian wheat has been to cause it to move to the seaboard over Canadian railway's and through Canadian ports, instead of moving in part over our railways and through our ports. It has the further effect, however, of disturbing exchange relations, and of producing irritation be tween this country and our friendly neighbor, who is our best trade customer. And this is the way legislation intended to con trol economic conditions usually works out ' , V The wheat movement in this country is in marked contrast with that of last year. Five of the big railroads in Kansas mov-. ed three times as much wheat in July this year as in July last year, and receipts at all primary markets since the beginning of the new crop year have been about double those of last year, lative market to absorb, just at a time when the speculator has lative marketto absorb, just at a time when the speculator has . been in grater disfavor than ever, and the market for the Sep tember and later deliveries is down about 25 cents per bushel from the top. Although the future markets are not below the spot market, as they were last year, they are not enough above to yield a carrying charge. ' The general situation as to wheat is good. Unlike that of last year, domestic stocks of flour are small and the .millers are bdying grain freely. The world situation is closely balanced, Broom ha 11 estimating European requirements at about tha same' s last year. If anything should go wrong with the crops m Ar gentina and Australia, wheat migh go considerably higher. From the September Renew by the National City. Bank.

G EN EVA, Sept. 15. (U. P.)

It is understood the United States has not replied to the invitation to participate in the world court be cause the invitation came from ' the' league of nations. The United Stateaf has po communication with , the league.
