CHANGES SHOULD BE POSTPONED, IS OPINION Residents of Washington and Oregon are more than four to one in favor of postponing until after the w ar any change in the Pacific N orthw est oower set-up such as was proposed in the Bone-Smith Columbia Power Administration bill introduced in the last Con gress, and are nearly two to one against such a program in any circumstances. This was revealed with the an nouncement by Pacific Power & Light company of results of a public opinion survey conducted in the two states by Dan E. Clark Il and Associates, research orga nization which has conducted sev eral opinion surveys for newspa pers. The power survey was made for a group of Pacific Northwest electric companies. Dr. Chilton R. Bush, executive head of Stanford university’s de partm ent of journalism and out standing survey consultant, char acterized the study as being "as painstakingly accurate as any I have had the opportunity of ana lyzing.” OtheT highlights of the survey included the showing that opinion ii^ the two states is more than 11 to one in favor of the public own ership question being decided by vote of the local communities a f fected instead of by Congress. The study also found that, by a five to one m a r g i n , ^ p p o p l e in W ashington and Oregon consider their present electric rates rea sonable. Direct interviews with a repre sentative cross-section of people in the two states revealed only 13.7 per cent f a v o r a b l^ ^ making a change in the northw est’s power set-up now. In contrast, 63.3 per cent said they believed any change’ should be postponed until after the war. Twerity-three per cent expressed no jopinion. Basic question asked in the sur vey was: "Do you think this pro posed Columbia Power Admini stration should or Should not be given authority to buy or con demn and take over every electric power company in Washington and O regon?” Answers showed opinion nearly two to one against* authorizing such power company take-overs. The division was as follows: Should ................ 24.0% Should not .... **..................... 46.1% No opinion ........................... 29.9% Cash Wheat Prices in Portland Little Changed The cash wheat m arket at P ort land m aintained a generally stea dy tone during the week ended January 22, and prices at t h e close of the period showed but lit tle change as compared with the previous week, the Departm ent of Agriculture reports. Demand from mills was somewhat less urgent than during the previous week although they were in the m arket in a moderate way all during the period. Growers also were of fering somewhat less freely this week, according to trade reports. Lighter trading and movement was reflected in wheat receipts a t Fortland of only 81 cars during the seven days as against 212 the previous week, while receipts at Puget Sound and Columbia river term inals including Portland were only about 350 cars compared with 625 the week before. Mills reported new domestic flour busi ness as only m oderate, but sales for export under the indemnity plan were reported as fairly hea vy during the period. Sales of Pacific Northwestern wheat for rail .shipment out of this area to the midwest were reported of less volume than during other recent weeks. Demand for feed ¡wheat continued good, although most trading was in C.C.C. supplies. Possibility of ceilings being placed on ' wheat prices is causing some hesitation in current trading, ac cording to trade reports. Cash wheat bid prices on the Portland Grain Exchange. Jan u ary 22 varied from $1.25 for soft white to $1.46 for 12% protein hard white (b aa rt), prices being per bushel, bulk, No. 1 grade, 15- dav shipment, Coast delivery. Very low tem peratures over spread the northw estern wheat belt during the week, but most sections had a protective snow cover. In some districts, the cov er was* inadequate, but whether or not any damage occurred is not yet known. S om e. heaving - oc curred in southeastern ¡portions of the belt from alternate freezing and thawing, but injury was not considered serious. In the south, conditions (were favorable ( for winter grains, and local planting of spring oats was reported as fa r north as Oklahoma. Reports through the week of January 16 showed 395,461,000 bushels of 1942 wheat under loan and approxim ately 233,250,000 bu shels of earlier crops held by Commodity Credit corporation.

And , t ic e’s only one answer to that—more taxes. You know what that would add up to?... about $25 more taxes a year for every man and woman in the country.
