'(From Wednesday's Dally.)
Prices of wheat substitutes
throughout tho nation, Including
Oregon and Deschutes county, must
bo forcod down below tho prlco of
wheat flour, according to a telegram
received by tho food administrators
from Herbert Hoover, federal food
administrator.
Substitutes for wheat flour should,
under no consideration, .exceed the
prlco of wheat flour, the telegram
states. At tho present prlco of corn,
barley and oats, millers should be
offering meals and flours manufac
tured from theso cereals at less than
wheat. Corn meal should bo at least
25 per cent, below tho wheat flour
price, and oat meal even lower than
this. Wblto corn and barley flour
should bo selling at from 10 to 15
per cent. lass.
H. C. Hartranft, county food ad
ministrator, stated yesterday after
noon that steps would bo taken Im
mediately to rcgulato tho prices In
Deschutes county. At tho samo tlmo
tho Btato food administration will
commenco a vigorous campaign to
dctermlno It tho millers aro making
an excessive profit, together with tho
Jobbers. Tho retail profit has al
ready been set at 16 to 20 por cent.,
and this ruling will bo strictly en
forced. During tho first tow months fol
lowing tbo food administration's rul
ing regarding the 50-50 basis for
wheat flour and .substitutes, tho
millers were pormlttcd profits In ex
cess of normal conditions because
the chango of milling from wheat to
tho other grains necessitated tho In
stallation of much additional machin
ery, tho expense of which had to be
mot, and tho government permitted
the profits for this reason. Now that
this machinery has in tho major part
been paid for, tho foodiadmlnlstrn
tlon has decreed that tho prices must
como down, and all food adminis
trators aro Instructed to act at once
In enforcing tho orders.
Allowance must bo mado tor ex
cosslvo freight rates, and this will
bo done In Deschutes county, accord
ing to Mr. Hartranft, who declared
that a scale of prices at which tho
merchants could and must sell sub
stitutes would bo Issued by tho food
administration offlco within a short

SALEM, July 11, It must hava
been an awful Jolt to our friend Dill
U'Hcn, erstwhile of Oregon City,
when ha awoke one bright July morn
ing to And but two Inltlatlvo peti
tions had found their way to the
general election ballot for November
and that apparently his littlo brain,
child was becoming puny and sickly
from lack of proper nourishment.
And then the sad Irony of fato!
It cost Sam Jackson, so report
sayeth, somo $3,000 easily earned
bucks or so to get those two measures
onto tho ballot. Ono ot tho measures
Is for the protection of tax Ilea
sharks, having for ltn purpose the
discontinuance ot newspaper adver
tising of delinquent tax lists and
thus shrouding thoso Hats with the
veil ot mystery and possible subter
fuge. Tho other .would do away with
a law fixing tho prlco of legal publi
cations. ThoJaw was designed to
designate a price so that Jobbery and
price rigging would bo curbed by tho
law ot the land, but Sam Jackson'n
bill evidently desires to do away with
any ot such.
And the Irony fol fate comes la
with tho 3,000 simoleons or ao
which Drother Jackson was required
to pungle up to get the proper num
ber of signatures for his petition.
As Brother Samuel was Drother Dill
U'Ren'a pet pal In putting over the
Initiative and referendum, and bow
meditate upon the sad uses to which
thos6pure 'measures' havo fallen!
Many Fall by Way.
Brothor Sam with his roll succeed

nificant bills, while a wholo raft of
othors fell by tho waysldo. Some are
Inclined to blame upon a law ot the
last leiglslaturo tho sad fiasco which
attended Initiative measures this
year. Tho law In question compel
county clerks to check up all signa
tures upon petitions with (ho signa
tures on the voting registration lists
In their possession and because ot
this, somo say, It was Impossible to
get by with the signatures.
But -others say, and tho others
havo tho right dope, that It Is be
coming dreadfully bard to Interest

It was all a Ilttlo host ot paid potltloa
