He comes to Bat in the current issue of Roscnbaum Review with the following more or lens cheering remarks: "I can foresee, storms but not earthquakes such as wo have been having In cereal prices. I would make a very sorry witness before a congressional inves titrating committee in the face of the drastic slump which wo have had. Farmers are holding; it ' purchases arc very heavy and export sales of wheat enormous. In the face of these known facts prices have do clined without reason. Perhaps the declines can be justified but I wouldn't know how. We'll be Import ing wheat to meet domestic require ments if present volumes of sales keep up much longer. The only thing I ran say is that when I thought wheat was a purchase below $2-00 I was temporarily wrong. To say more would look like a case of sour grapes.

Yet there is one fea ture in " which the clawing harpies can pick no flaws the Wilson ad ministration backbone.

Proof of that growth is scarcely necessary. ' The sta tistics published daily in the press, showing bank clearings, building permits, imports and exports, real estate transfers, all bear testimony to a tremendous business activity and a volume of trade far in excess of that of five years ago. With all this growth and activity there has been an in creasing demand for telephone service greater than our pres ent facilities can supply and greater than our present revenue will allow us to meet During the present year wo have handled in excess of 48,000 orders for telephone service in the State of Oregon and at tho present time havo 3500 unfilled orders on hand. , The constant demand for telephone service can only be con tinuously met with a plant sufficient for present needs and a re serve for growth which will permit of promptly handling in stallations, changes and moves. This Company has no apology to offer for what it has accomplished in the way of meeting the demand for telephone service during and since tho war. It is a record to bo proud of but it cannot continue to meet this de mand with its present facilities exhausted and a deficit in its earnings. Arrangements must be made for the necessary plant and equipment to keep pace with Oregon's tremendous growth.
