PORTLAND PRICE HELD AS LOWEST IN COUNTRY Public Service Commission Member Thinks Farmers Are Not Getting Justice. That the department of agriculture conduct a public hearing for the pur pose of Investigating charges that the prices paid for wheat by Portland ex porters are not what they should bo is 'being Jointly called for by the Umatil la county fnlm bureau und by H. H. Corey, public service commissioner from Eastern Oregon. It is also sug gested that the Inquiry deal with dis counts and dockage churges and the farm bureau has suggested that the hearing bo held preferably in Pendle ton. It is desired that the investigation be conducted by the Federal grain In ipmJul) dppnrt'nuut and m&ny would like to sco Assistant Secretary Morrill in charge of the inquiry. He was in charjre of tho recent grain grading hearing in Portland and proved at that time that he had considerable knowledge of the subject. Under date of February 3 Mr. Corey write tho following letter to tho Port land Oregonian, the letter riot having been published as yet by the Portland paper. Salem, Ore., Feb. 3, 1922. To tho Editor Morning Oregonian: I am pleased to accept tho Orego tiian's suggestion of January 28th that a public Inquiry be had but as no Oregon tribunal has jurisdiction over the matters involved In our discussion. I suggest that the Inquiry be held be fore li.e United States department of agriculture and thut tho investigation be broadened so as to cover the ques tion of discounts and dockages, which is also a mooted question between the farmers and grain dealers, to the end that the department of agriculture may fix standards of discounts and dockages If It is deemed advisable aft er such investigation. I assure you I have no quarrel with Portland. I merely state that appar ently certain business concerns in Portland have absorbed all. If any benefits derived from down-river haul rates, which benefit was promised to the farmers in 19 1!, and that I be llcvod other interests m Portland would do likewise if the long and short haul applications now pending are granted. I have learned nothing from .our discussions thut has caused me toi chango my opinion. The fact that market quotations on nnv nnrtlnnlnr date invariably show that wheat brings a lower price In Portland than at any other export point In the United States, as well as many of the primary grain markets, leaves a question in any mind as to the reason for this difference. Market quotations on comparable priced grain on January" 2Sth, If I am correctly informed, wero as follows: Galvestoa and New Orleans $1.20; Chicago $1.16; Kansas City 8U7H. St. Louis Minneapolis, $1.2!t;i Omaha $1.12; San Francisco 1.11; As- toria $1.11; Tacoma, $1.11; Seattle. $1.11; Portland $1.00. The farm bureau of Springfield, Ill inois advised on January 28th, that dealers there could pay 7c more per bushel for soft wheat than for hard wheat, but could not get it. Port land's quotation on same date, 7c under hard wheat quotations at Chi cago. Freight rate per bushel, Baker and Pendleton to Chicago 40c. It is therefore, futile to suggest that far mers would ship to Chicago if they thought they were not getting all the wheat is worth in Portland. . Hoping I may have the cooperation of the Oregonian toward securing an impartial Investigation, I remain Very repsectfully, H. H. COEY. TEMTOIUBY MXE LAID. PA KADI SE INN, Wash., Feb. 6. (C. P.)

I EM Who will Pendleton's next ' post master be? TIiIh query Is now being made following, receipt of tho grades made by the three highest applicants for tho post, lister Cronln, present postmaster, Perry Idlemunand Thorn as Thompson, . According to figures received here these three men passed the oxamlna turn and Mr. Idlemau Is high .ninn wllh a score of 83.8. His original grai'.o was 78.8 but he was credited flvo points for being an ex-service man and he thereby went above Mr. Cronln who was graded 81 by the ex amlncrs. Mi-. Thompson's grade has not been announced. Men In political circles freeiy pre dict the appointment of Mr. Thomp son us under the Harding regime a postmaster may be chosen from among the three highest men, the congressmen making the selection. As Congressman Slnnott Is pledged to Mr, Thompson for the position It Is as sumed he will favor him when It comes time to act. Senator Stanfleld will also figure In the matter as ho Is on the poiitoffice committee in the senate. 1 On the other ham; Mr. IGieiuau haa the 'premise of being the high point man, bring a service man and he also hux stroii'? support from his old home town of Marion from whence' halls the president himself. Jt therefore re mains to be seen whether that backing will be more effective than the politi co,! backing enjoyed by Mr. Thompson. '-tiOXIXA'.' Feb. 6,(A. P.)
