One banker "says that the ma-1 jority of farmers will actually lose money on a basis of present wheat prices. Another declares they will make little if any profit, while a third banker takes the view that careful farmers who have held, expenses down closely will make small profits. He gives illustrations to show that in some cases at least this will be true. Yet many farmers have sold some wheat at $1 per bushel or thereabouts. In prewar days that would have been considered a pplendid price. So would 90 cents have been so considered. Why then is not wheatgrowing profitable at present prices? There is but one answer. The dollar the farmer gets is not worth enough. Otherwise all would be lovely. The facts are that the price of wheat has been deflated but the farmers' living costs have not been deflated proportionately. According to the department of agriculture the farmer's dollar is worth 72 cents and its value is falling, There seems no"eseape from this con clusion ftnd also from the conclusion that the buying power of agriculture cannot be restored until a greater equilibrium is provided. Since the west is primarily an agricultural country business revival will have to be slow under such conditions. No amount of optimism can make good times when a farmer cannot make a good profit on $1 wheat. It is unfortunate that the downward sweep in living costs was checked. If it had continued all would be well and the farmer would have come into his own. So would labor for the worker does not object much to reduced wages if living cftsts come down proportionately. There have been forces at work 'to "stabilize prices" and they have met with too much success. They have worked in differ ent ways. In the case of sugar the Cuban sugar growers have presented unquestionable evidence that they were commanded to restrict their production or face a tariff that would almost bar their product from this country. They would not or couln not reduce production so the new tariff provides the highest duty on sugar known in 60 years. That will be a good thing for , the beat sugar manufacturers but they provide only 15 per cent ot the sugar used in this country. The result is that in order to ,' to provide a higher price to those who produce this 15 per cent the American people must also pay a higher price for the 8, per cent not produced by the beet sugar men. What is true of sugar is true of innumerable other lines. It is frankly admitted by all irrespective of partisanship that the ' new tariff bill is a price boosting agency but it does not boost prices to the farmer. The wheat price is governed by the export demand. The new tariff may be a good thing for the manufac turing sections but it is hard to see where the American farmer can get any joy out of it. The foreign debt question also offers some interesting fea tures. Many advise that we cancel the debt of $11,000,000,001 owed to the United Slates by European countries. That sounds j like a peculiar request, and what is back of it? The East Ore- gonian has a theory the demand comes largely from interests that know that the debt if paid must be paid in goods, not ii money. They don't want foreign manufactured articles brought to this country because that would deflate the price of Ameri can goods. But is not such deflation just what the country needs and par ticularly what agricultural regions need? Would it not make the fanners' dollar worth more and thereby provide the remedy we seek for present conditions? In other words if we would let nature take its course conditions would right themselves, but we are not letting nature take its course, except in spots. In many lines we retard nature's process with the result that a few bene fit but the majority of people are victimized. "Kast come, cuny K." doesn't ap ply to relathcs on u visit.

Years ago folks asked it of the post rider, the soldier returned from the wars, the man who had been down to the settlements, or the neighbor back from the general store. Today, you find the answer in your newspaper. Through the newspapers the news of the world and of the community quickly becomes public knowledge. And remember this it takes two kinds of news to make a modern paper complete. . The first tells of happenings near and far of fires, sports, elec tions, accidents, marriages, deaths, great men, great events. The second tells of things you eat, wear and use things you buy, tilings being sold to your friends-and neighbors. This news is ADVERTISING. It's jut as important to keep up-to-date on the advertising in this paper as it is to read about what's doing in the world of events. - Advertising is an essential news service. It is distinctly to your advantage to be guided by it. 0
