IS THE
Strong
Candidate
More than 40 newspapers
in Oregon have - indorsed
Fred Steiwer for the repub
lican nomination for United
States Senator. What would
be a better indication of strength?
All of the other candidates for the nomination have cen
tered their fire upon Steiwer and contend that he is the
man they must defeat. No one ever attacks a weak man.
Democratic leaders are exerting their efforts against
Steiwer. They fear him, They know they cannot de
feat him in the general election.
A vote for Steiwer Friday is a vote for a republican vic
tory in November. ' ,

OUTSPOKEN FRIENDS OF
HAUGEN FARM BILL
Kippered Salmon, all Kinds of Salt Fish. Fresh
Fish, Oysters, Crabs, Clams, Kraut in Season.
A. W. LOGSDON
Main Street Athena, Oregon.
The Haugen bill found a staunch
supporter in Senator Cummins, Re
publican, Iowa, who said after a call
at the White House that if it was
not passed, Iowa would hit every
head in sight. He did not specify
what heads he referred to, but said
later that even if the house reject
ed the measure he was hopeful of its
approval by the senate as a rider to
the cooperative marketing bill, thus
throwing it into conference without
house action.
A talk on the Haugen bill was
made at a recent Walla Walla Cham
ber of Commerce luncheon by State
Senator F. J. Wilmer of Rosalia.
Senator Wilmer said that two years
ago the McNary-Haugen bill was be
fore congress and was defeated. The
need for such a measure is as great
now as then, for basic conditions
have not changed. Farmers are still
buying in a protected market and
selling on a free market.
Prior to 1914 the farmers had
some compensation for they got the
land cheaply and had free labor.
Then . came the immigration - laws
which protect: .', labor and other mat
ters which
j conditions.
"Now a new measure is before
congress. It has been greatly chang
ed since it was introduced. Secre
tary Jardine is not in favor of such
measures but if this one is passed it
should permit the farmers to prac
tically fix their own prices, since
the board would be selected from
organizations. The board would have
power to raise the price on wheat
about 42 cents plus eight cents, the
average cost of getting it to mark
et, or a total of about fifty cents.
"The same could be done to an ex
tent with corn, cotton, butter, etc
This bill lacks the price fixing clausie
of the former bill and is more flex
ible to meet conditions.
"While it is hinted that President
Coolidge might veto the bill, I
doubt it. He likely will point out
that it may not work but will give
it a chance,"
