Secondly: If 'everyone disap

will add a rear-view mirror on tho

ACREAGE tS CUT
Portland. Dec. 2!) Reeding of
winter wheat in Oregon this fall
appears to bo only about 02 per
cent of the acreage seeded a yoar
ago, pays P. L. Kent, statistician,
United Statea department of agri
culture. This estimate Is based on
reports received from nenrly 800
farmers loented In nil of tho prin
cipal wheat-producing counties of
the state. Revised estimates, bas
ed upon the results of the 192E
farm census, place the acreage
seeded to wlntor wheat In tho fall
of 1924 at 1,000,000 acres, hence
the ncrcnge seeded this fall Is
placed at 920.000 seres. Tne condi
tion of the growing crop on De
cember 1, 1925, was estimated nt
82 per cent of normal, compared
with 87 per cent Inst year and a
ten year average condition on De
cember 1 of 91 per cent.
The Washington stato acreage Is
) laced at 955,000 with a condltton
of 88 per cent, compared with 1,-
240,000 acres seeded last fall and
a condition on December 1, 1924,
of 77 po rccnt. Yhe Idaho etntc
acreage Is placed at the same fig
ures ns Inst year, 478,000 acres,
with a condition of 02 per cent com
pared with a condition figure of 82
per cent a year ago.
WHEAT WORTH $8 IF
VALUED AS RUBBER IS
Washington, Dec. 29 (A. P.)
The best method for the United
States to follow In combatting high
rubber prices Is to uss a little of
the product as possible and to build
up Independent sources of supply,
Secretary Hoover declared today
In commenting on developments
growing out of charges against an
alleged Rrltlsh rubber monopoly.
He added thnt If this country
were to sell wheat and cotton In
exchange for ruhber, based on the
ration of cost of production of rub
ber and the price American con
sumers are paying for It, the wheat
would sell Tor IS a bushel and cot
ton at 75 cents a pound.
Ixmdtfn The best American
burglars are not abstainers. At
least, Pussyfoot Johnson has so
informed an Knglish journalist In
un interview on prohibition. I
Portland, Ore., Dec. 29 (A. P.)
Ijower temperatures are respon

a firmer undertone. Today stand
ard extras are a cent higher at 36
cents. Other grades are unchanged
but showing a stronger feeling.
Receipts have fallen off consider
abiy during tho past few days and
there Is an actual shortage of top
quality stock in the fresh market.
At the same time blizzards rag
ing in the east have strengthened
the shipping markets and offered
a broader outlet to local dealers.
No change Is shown In local but
ter quotations for the day and the
market continues to show a healthy
Lone at current levels.
Country d ressed meat arrivals
are moderate and the demand
more or less limited. There is still
a good call for choice light veal
at 16 to 16 cents but best dress

Poultry receipts are lfght. The
Market Is bare of all holiday hold

SUPPORT FOR
NEW BUDGET
(Continued from Page Ono)
that took hie adversaries off their !
feet.
To the radical ministers who
threatened to roslgn and break up
the cabinet, he calmly replied:
"If you must go, I cannot re
tain you, but for my part I shall
remain."
The deduction from this was
that the premier had aG ready pre
pared to replace the radicals and
socialists In his parliamentary ma
jority with groups of the center
and right to forestall the socialist
congress which is meeting on
January 10 to pass upon the quee
tfon of a socialist government and
socialist participation In a radi
cal govornment. M. Briand's move
was immediate and extreme. The
radical ministers hastened to de
clare that" they did not desire to
quit. 'Behind the maneuvering on
both slues is an apparent desire
to mend poltical forces before the
dissolution of parliament and new
elections which aro being more
and more talked of In all the po
litical groups.
Financial Measure
The groups of the left In the
chamber already have introduced
their financial measure. They
muster 2S0 of the 676 votes in the
chamber. M. Doumer rejects
their plans, insisting that they
provide for only a partial solution
of the problem and that they like
ly would fail even to balance the
budget, which still would be sus
ceptive to fluctuations of ex
change. The finance minister announc
ed that he estimated the budget
deficit at 8,000,000,000 francs
($352,000,000). He proposed to
meet this by Increased Income
taxes, reinforcement of the fis
cal administration, a tax on
Bourse operations, higher prices
for tobacco (which Is sold under
government monopoly), a tax on
exports and "an extraordinary
temporary stamp tax on sales."
Two billion five hundred mil
lion francs of new revenue ($100,
000,000, will go to sinking fund,
two billion francs ($80,000,000)
to reimburse the Bank of France
for advances made to the state and
the rest to balance the budget.
