C. Thomas, farmer and miller , of New Harmony, Indiana, and the Portland Oregonian, as a subscriber of the syndicate, re prints it.

Democracy Isn't perfect, of course, but It isn't probable that any form of government- euuld place a premium on in competence. ' i , . : ' . A hrlde and groom have gone honey mooning "in -a ph pre-war times. Here is the way this farmer and miller sizes up the. situation and the sensible -way in which he would meet it: ; "The finding of a market for surplus wheat is one thing and the cost of production and delivering it to market is another. All these matters can be affected by any legislative 'body. Taxes, tariff and transporta tion are all matters for pur legislative bodies to con- . sider. Taxes by the state" legislature, tariff and trans portation by the national congress. "Reduce taxes and transportation rates, do away with the high protective tariff, which will not only re duce the cost of production, but encourage, the foreign ;' buyer to trade with us more literally and will thereby -increase the 'competition for our wheat abroad, which .. should stimulate the market here at home and make for ; higher prices to the producer. : V "If farmers will be governed by these principles and -not allow themselves to be led astray by radical and un-. reasonable propaganda,' they will eventually win out; and again come to their own. i "A comparison between the cost of machinery for . producing wheat and the equivalent in bushels of wheat makes a startling advance. In 1914 a sulky-plow that cost $35 required 35 bushels of wheat a $1 a bushel. A binder that cost $125 took 125 bushels and a wagon that cost $80 took 80 bushels. This year , a, sulky-plow on, the basis of 90; cents for wheat requires giving up 60 bushels, the plow being, worth $54, ah advance of $19. A" binder that costs; $225 is equal to, 250 bushels of wheat arid a wagon at $135, or $55 more than in 1914,;takes 150 bushels of wheat and harvesting labor at $5 a day, against $2 a day in 19i4, costs the farmer 5JJ bushels 6f wheat against 2 bushels in 1914. All other 'costs are up in proportion." ; ,, ' ,. the secret reason, for wanting a man .'constantly at . the . presi- SIX PER CENT A FAST WORKER (Astoria Daily Budget.) ; The notion- that 0 per cent is too flov and -tbajt' the average- man must take riaky chuuees to attain financial independence ia. pue of the most costly crror-i most 1 people make.

It 'Was the first month in .which exports had exceeded imports since last February. -. ,The Fordney-McCumber tariff wos (fatigued to shut off imports and so protect American industries from for e!ei competiUon. It is the highest tar iff ever enacted in any country. Yet while imports, have decreased, they still remain surprisingly lnrge. The reason, is not hard to find. It lies in the increased railroad freight rates and the .'low . water rates, which Chicago is better than wo -thought it was. Late statis tics show that its population is 28 per cent American. . r r : ; ','- ' With the president not inclined to call an extra session the treasury surplus can heave a sigh of rdlief.

What the tariff adds to cost of iniMrted goods is oft set by what the extortionate freight rates odd to American made goods. The same congress which enacted the tariff low to bar foreign goods, nj; so enacted the railroad, law which nul lifies it for industries.! although both the tariff law and the railroad law cinch the consumer, who has to pay the freight as well as the tariff. But the high freight rate hits the producer of farm prouuee uaruesi, iur uc un to ship or let nis crops rot. The vovernoi's of eieht western farm ing states have signed a call for the formation of a non-partisan tariff association- at a meeting to be held in October ' for - the discussion -of public policies as they affect the progress and prosperity of western industry, especi ally with respect to tariff -levies and to oppose a ., revision .of . the turiff act nt. this time. i. - - - r- If instead of endeavoring to bolster up the tariff,-these, governors tnirneo their energies to a solution of the rail roud problem that would restore equit nhle rates to the Bhipper, they would do far more both for the producer, and the consumer. i' LUMBER MARKET UNCHANGED Ijttle actual change in . the lumber market has been observed, during the last ten days, tho certain sections re port a substantial increase in demand and the tendency is still unquestionably strongly toward expansiun. tJity re tailers have now in practically ull In stances worked their stocks down to bedrock, but still hesitute to commit themselves ahead. .' Buying is confined to immediate requirements, uud this 1b likely to be the case so long as. it is possible to secure the' prompt deliveries now obtainable. However, tue generally depleted state of consumers' und deal ers' stocks causes this hand-to-mouth buying to aggregate -into a considerable voiume of business. y Inquiry from country ;yards -is heav ier, und orders from dairying and diver sified farming bections reflect encour aging conditions. Trade In wheat areas is scill dull, and prospects are too un. certain to wurraut dealers in tnose sections stocking up. They are opti mistic nevertheless, exnecting un im provement in the wheat markets later . both from a distribution und price standpoint. This expectation, is shured by so authoritative a body as the joint research, committee of the wueut coun cil of the United States Chamber of 'Commerce, which after exhaustive in vestigation this week expressed the opinion that reports of overoroduction1 of wheat are an exaggeration and that tne situation is a great jleul sounder than the country has been led to be lieve. WUient prices ulso this week showed a substantial rise above the dollar mark.. If this indicates the true situation, the lumber trade should bene fit : considerably this ' fall, and even more next spring.1 ' ' ' industrial trade holds un to recent levels. Timbers enjoy- a heavv ileum ml. and premiums for early delivery on this cians 01 material are not unusual. Hardwoods remain active, with auto mobile and furniture, interests aggres sively on the market. Sap gum, which has been conspicuous for some time through Its weakness : has advanced somewhat,, as have several other 'items which are in good demand und have been rendered scarce by the Jack of production last spring.. Mill stocks are., nowhere heavy, 'and while there is a surplus of production over sales this is badly needed to round out supplies. , .-mere, is, therefore, no considerable pressure., Jp sell ondprlces, on softwoods as bn hardwoods, have been well maintained..- ..... i REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS ' Hearm Wieinun et m n Km-pun Tnn & Snv.
