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,-

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

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." Five Homes Entered

Volk repllod that he expected

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

There Is No
Substitute
For Circulation
In the days before the advent of the Audit Bureau
of Circulations many ingenious schemes were used to in
flate circulation as inducements to the advertiser. 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. C. was the result, and today the
majority of leading publications in the United States
and Canada look to the Bureau to verify their circula
tion,both for their 'own, as well as the advertisers' pro
tection. We are proud to be members of the A. B. 0. Our
last report from the Bureau's Auditor is open for your
inspection, and it will reveal no semblance of substitution
for the circulation we claim and have.
