Form er governors could coast along w ith the m ediocre because o f the divided responsibility but the legislature has passed the hot end o f state a d m in istra tio n and even sem i-judicial powere to the governor.

P oliticians are beginning to bid fo r votes fro m the w heat-grow in g sections o f the c o u n try by p o in tin g out th a t the price o f bread has not gone down proportion ately to the price w hich the fa n n e r gets fo r his wheat, and that therefore somebody “ higher u p ,"— e ither the m illers o r the bakers- -is g etting to m uch p r o fit We d on’t profess to know all about the m illin g and baking business, but we do know th a t the cost o f raw- m aterial is a very sm all proportion o f the cost to the u ltim a te consum er, o f Any m anufactured com m odity. We don’t expect the price o f autom obiles to go down even- tim e the price o f steels fa lls o ff. because we know there are lota o f things besides steels th a t go in to the m anu facture, d is trib u tio n and sales o f autom obiles. It takes about 4*^ bushels o f wheat to make a barrel o f flour. Out o f a barrel o f flo u r, selling now fo r around $5 a barrel, the com m ercial bakers make 300 one-pound loaves o f bread. They put some o th e r things besides flo u r in to bread, and they have a m a n u fa c tu rin g cost as well as a cost o f selling and d is trib u tin g . It seems reasonable to believe th a t they are rig h t when they say th a t a loaf o f bread, delivered to the re ta ile r, cost the bakery about 6 cents. W hatever the custom er pays above th a t is the re ta ile r’s charge fo r handlin g and delivery and his p ro fit. Maybe there's som ething fo r po liticia n s to get excited about in this bread s itu a tio n . B u t i t looks to us as if the farm er, as usual, was going to get th e short end o f any serious attem pt to reduce the price o f bread to the c ity folks, w ho are. a fte r all, the ones who do m ost of the bread buying. In so fa r as the price the fa rm e r gets fo r his w heat is a p a rt o f the cost o f a loaf o f bread, any general reduction in the re ta il price o f bread w ill be used, som ewhere along the line, as another excuse to keep the price o f w heat down. R eports fro m all over the c o u n try indicate th a t veterans a p p ly in g fo r the adjusted service loan, ju st passed by con gress over the president’s veto, need the money. Despite some o f the opposition's opinions th a t it w ould take six m o n th s to make the fir s t ioan, the firs t applicant had his m oney the firs t day a fte r the b ill’s passage. T hev are n o w receiving loans a t the rate o f $10,000 a day. G overnor Meier, elected on an econom y program , has asked fo r and received $70,000 fo r the conduct o f his o ffic e as against the $45,000 allotcd to fo rm e r governors. W h e th e r th is 70 per cent increase is econom y o r not re m ains to be seen. A dispatch from Salem is th a t th e capitol dome w hich has been “ all l i t ” up d u rin g the session o f the legislature w ill now be dark according to custom . Some o f the legis lators, w ho have been “ lit up” fo r the last tw o m onths w ill also be d a rk a fte r they get home. T h e re is nothing a larm ing about th is as the veterans have held fo r six years these “ prom ise to pay notes” o f the U n ite d States. The fa rm boara has loaned m any m il lions to th e farm ers this last year when it owed them n o th in g . W e can see no d iffe re n t e ffe ct on the country.
