serious straits because his-products have little barter value, because
his wheat and corn and tobacco is worth little while other goods
are still near the wartime peak.
Direct inflation would not help the farmer It would merely
solidify the present price balance which is so plainly unfair to the
producer ,No one has claimed that the country needs a higher
price for steel goods, farming implements, machinery, or the many I
other commodities that are manufactured, controlled and sold by
well financed corporations. Yet, inflation would raise the price of
these commodities the same as
would the farmers wheat, and
much quicker.
What the manufacturers need is a sale for their goods.. What
the farmer needs is something to buy with. Inflation can help
neither permanently The problem is the same as it was before
inflation was proposed. A reasonable parity must be established
between the producer and the manufacturer so that business can
be revived The price of farm commodities must rise in propor
tion to other goods whether an actual increase in dollar value is
made or not. Inflation would not cure the ill, merely aggravate it.

In the intersst of accuracy this paper must apologize for an
incorrect statement Instead of Wasco county receiving $48,000

will receive $22,560. Preliminary figures were gotten from a source
that seemed authentic, but the official figures of the secretary of
state’s show the smaller figure to be correct.
