PRICE FIXING DISCOURAGED BY COOLIDGE (Continued from Pago One) their wolfaro through co-operative marketing. As to proposals Cor the organlza Hon of corporations through which the government would directly or indirectly fix prices or engage In buying and selling farm produce. tho president made this observa tion: "This woutd be a dangerous un dertaking, and as the emergency ie not so acute, It seems at present to have lost much of Us support.

OREGON SALE OF IDAHO L Portland, Ore., Dec. 7 Sale of SI, 600, 000 worth of Idaho wool here today was indefinitely post poned after the bids on tho first two lots had been rejected. The tint National bunk of Boise, represented by Crawford Moore, president, and Robert N. Naylor field representative, directing the sale, announced that a new auction would not be called until prices had stiffened. First bid was made by E. J. Burke, of the Burko Wool com pany, Portland, on 110 sacks of wool, totalling about 50,000 pounds The second bid was on a lot sub mitted by the Idaho Livestock com pany. It was said to be one of the choicest clips offered. The envelope Bystem of tender ing bids was employed and the amount of the bids per pound was not disclosed. The larttest lot was sent by Andy Little of Mount Homo, Idaho. It totalled 400,000 pounds. Other big lots loilow: Highland Sheep company, Boise, 200,000; VanDuzer Brothers, Elmore, 370,- 000; Big Springs Sheep company, 100,000; Pedro Grandiago, CO, 000. it fixes prices. Moreover, it would apparently destroy co-operative as sociation and all other marketing machinery, for no one can com pete with the government. Ulti mately It would end the independ ence which the farmers of tills country enjoy as a result of cen turies of struggle and prevent the exercise of their own judgment and control In cultivating their land and marketing their product. "Government control cannot bu divorced from political con tool. The overwhelming interest of the consumer, not the smaller interest of the producer would be sure to dominate in the end. Unless we fix correspor 'ing prices for other commodities a high fixed price fur agriculture would merely stimu late over production that would end in complete collapse. "However attractive this pro posal was at first thought careful consideration of it has led to much opposition on the part of the farm ers. They realize that even , the United States government is not strong enough, either directly, or indirectly, to fix prices which would cor stan tly guarantee suc cess. They are opposed to submit ting themselves to the control ol a great bureaucracy. Turning to the effect of the tar iff on agriculture, Mr. Coolioge told his audience that the tree list, constituting 67 per cent o( Im ports was constructed "especially to favor the farmer, and contains more than 60 articles which ne purchased, like fertilizer, leather harness, farm machinery, couee, binder twine, barbed wire and Kasoliue." Of the $1,530,000,000 of goods paying imports last year, $780,- 000,000 was on agricultural prod ducU "levied solely to protect the farmer," he pointed out, continu ing: "Thus 80 per cent of our im ports either come in free or pay a duty to protect the farmer. This must be further increased by $250,000,000 more of imported luxuries like diamonds, fine rugs, silks, cut glass, jewelry and ma hogany. These Items cannot af fect the prosperity ot the farmer. This brings the total of ImporiB up to 88 per cent which are either free, or luxuries, so protected to help the farmer and leaves only 12 ncr cent of our imports upon which tho Agricultural Industry pays any part of the tariff. "But. on Che other hand, our industrial and city population pays the torift on t'he $780,000,- 000 worth of agricultural linporw and also participates in the $500,- 000,000 worth of ImportB outside of luxuries. While the farmer pays part of the duties on 12 per cent of our imports which do not. benefit him, Industry and com msree pay part of the duty on 3(i per cent ot the imports wnicu u.. not benoflt him. "If wo tnKe all that the farmer buys for his household and farm operation nnd subtract from it articles dutiable to protect the farmer, the tree list and luxuries, we should have left Icbs than 10 per cent of his expenditures. This means that Ices than 10 per cent of farm purchases are at an in creased cost which is adverse to the farmer. Admitting that the price ot these purchases is In creased by the full amount of the duty this means that the total ad verse enst to the farmer on Account of the tariff Is only between 2 per cent and 3 per cent of his pur chases. "Many economists consider that even this calculation as to the contribution of our formers to the tariff in ovcr-cstimnted. As their Anderson & Rupert ' . Oregon BldR. 10 a. m. to 3. p. m. expenditures include many Items for labor and service on which there is no duty, the proportion of total expendtlure on dutiable articles outside the three lists above mentioned is not 10 per cent but only 3 per cent or 4 per cent of bis total expenditures. Thus, even assuming that the farmer pays tariff on this ratio ot goods, bis expenditures would only be in creased by one-third of 3 per cent or 4 per cent, or not over 1 1-3 per cent. "On the other side, protection is a great benefit to agriculture as a whole, the $780,000,000 of agri culture produce imported last year had paid $260,000,000 for the privilege of coming into competi tion with our own farm produc tion. If these were admitted free of duty, they would no doubt greatly ineree&e in volume, reduce present farm prices and result in much lower standards of living on our farm. We are also exporters as well as importers. Protection greatly aids diversification nnd so eliminates an unprofitable sur plus. Under our tariff our flax acreage has increased from 1,641, 000 In 1921 to 3.093.000 in 1925. Much ot this would otherwise have been devoted to wheat, Increasing the surplus and further demoraliz ing that market. The same prin cinle holdn in relation to sugar, wool and other agricultural prod ucts."

He met the man who asked Volk If he knew when "these people' 'would return. Volk repllod that he expected them right away. Volk says the man, who was apparently about 22 years old, went across the street to where another young man and a car awaited. They drove away with the car unlighted. Volk says that after meeting the youth he wasn't suspicious of their actions until he read In the newspapers of the houses on Oak, Leslie and Liberty streets being entered, and later learned that attempts had been made to enter not only the Hug home but the home of J.

This was attempted substitution. The prevalence of such policies brought about the necessity of an authorized authority to check these un fair methods. The A. B.
