The percentage of compliance has been higher here. This report Indicates that, wheat w ill. be low in price for two years because of the surplus built 'up by increased acreage. By not reducing their wheat acre-1 age farmers of other states have obtained ap advantage over Ore gon farmOTS and have flooded the market to the detriment of all. The circumstance brings to mind a story told by W. J. Spill man who attended the first wheat league meeting ih Moro. It seems that some early day agricultural economist conceived the notion that a good way to reduee the cotton surplus would be to have meetings held in each county in the south and get cotton growers to pledge a reduction in acreage for the coming year. It was found that these meetings were very successful and farmers readily promised to cut down on their cotton. But nearly everyone went home and reasoned. “Now if all the farmers in the south are going to take land out of cotton there should be a good price for eot-f ton next fall.’ and he went right out and put as much land in cot ton as he could The biggest crop up to that time resulted. Whether Oregon farmers have been foolish for reducing w heat acreage er fhrmers in other states have been foolish for not reduc- ing so is a matter for them to de- eftde for themselves. It is reas- ewsMy clear, however, that ths promises to readjust the agricul tural situation through govern ment aid have not been achieved by paying the wheat increasing farmers for doing what they have done. State officials face prosecution for violation of. the postal laws if a warning served by a Salem pos- tai inspector is supported by high* er authorities of the department, The warning is question calls at tention to the fact that Uncle Sam has a monopoly on the postal busi- ' ¿less which covers transportation - of letters over highways, streets t or the right-of-way of any common - carrier. ' Letters, it is explained, I include “any paper forwarded for - the purpose of conveying live cur-, e rent information upon which the f addresse may act, rely or refrain b from acting.” Daily reports on • business transactions, receipts, pay- k roll lists, freight bills, restrictions •» liquor store reporta and interoffice ’ communications are included in the list. With state departments soat- ~ tered all o^er Salem compliance r with this regulation wppld irurk a y severe hardship upon ktate.,busi- n ness, not only because of the add- • ed expense involved in postage costs, hut because of the delay in- -• volved in sending these documents back and * forth through regular postal Channels. ‘ ' ’ 1 In Other Days Horse Show & Rodeo to H e a d lin e 'L ivesto ck L Exposition ru Franklvn Wiltman B , I ranklyn Waltman wonder whether the reel object of Roosevelt AdminUtratlon fc In view of recent events there no^ ^o perpetuate itself in power, can h l little doubt that a determin- Somehow all this talk about a ed effort w ilt b e made to renomi-- third tenn and Mr. Roosevelt’s nate president Roosevelt for a Democratic purge, especially in third term.
