THE FARMERS' DOLLAR IS WORTH 70 CENTS
TN the last few days the East Oregonian has made diligent, in
quiry as to how much money wheat farmers of Umatilla
county will make this year. 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.

That's always the question of paramount importance. 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.
