He likes to meet people and Is not rebuffed when some one In Jest or earnest speaks a word for his opponent. McKay has always been a hard worker. Since he peddled papers In Portland to help support his mother, since he sold meat, work ed his way through college and started his own business selling cars, he has had to work. Now he has the habit. As a working man he is closer to the average citizen than most of the candi dates who aspire to office. The average citizen Is a working man, too, whether for himself or for JOCBNAU HOBO. OREGON, farmers are actually convinced that the two-price plan 1* wu.y a panacea for wheat growers Many _as would we— would like to see it tried while realizing its weaknesses. In fact, the plan in corporated in the vetoed farm bill was a rather weak sort of the two-price plan. It now appears that wheat far mers are going to come closer to realizing their desire w ithin a short time than if the two-prke plan had been adopted. Under that scheme farmers would get market price for about half their wheat and would have the other half supported at full parity. The restrictions as to planting would s till prevail. Under the farm bill passed by congress farmers can go into the soil bank and get paid for land not used. Enough of them have done that to take some nine m il lion acres out of production ac cording to figures released w ithin the week. That w ill reduce he surplus. Under another federal program shipment of wheat to India and Japan w ill take another huge block of wheat out of the country under a deal that w ill be helpful to those countries. Wheat com mission men expect the northwest surplus to be moved by next sum mer although that may not be realized. This fall the government agreed to hold its stored wheat and let the farmer sell his instead of put ting it under loan. The export subsidy wa3 increased to help the shipment overseas and the mar ket for grain has been well above the loan for the first time in years. It certainly w ill not take much «>« »» '«*"» > » permit farmers to again sow all their land and get the market price for It, to get clear away from government controls and still make a better income than was possible under dictation.
