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.
PROOF
A Missouri woman advertised
for a husband. She got one act a
cost of $9.00. He enl’isted in the
army and was killed. She got
$3,000 insurance and a widow’s
pension for the rest of her life.
And yet, some folks will tell you
th at advertising doesn’t pay.
