LEGISLATING SUPPLY AND DEMAND
The new farm plan, which seeks to regulate the basic
economic law of supply and demand, is to our mind an im
possibility. It will no doubt end like the present farm board
fiasco by spending millions of dollars of the taxpayers
money and result in prices being further depressed for the
farm er instead of giving him any help

relief law places a $2.25 tax on flour now selling a t $2 80 a

ers draw ing from $200 to $2000 a month in the state of
Oregon and thousands throughout the nation. This new
law will no doubt increase the force greatly. Much of the
tax that doubles the poor m an’s flour cost will go to over
head instead of helping the farm er.
The proposed law pays farm ers to keep their land idle
— m arginal land in m any cases totally unsuited for wheat
crops. The law taxes the bread of all people to keep a cer
tain class idle. If it were a crop which was only produced
in this country then there m ight be some sense to the pro
posed law. But wheat land in this country is only a small
part of the w heat land of the globe. The law will not in
crease price to the farm er and the more subsidy he gets for
idle land the more th at the nation will be forced to pay to
equalize a fixed price for wheat, because we will no doubt
see an increased acreage abroad and this country- forced
out of world w heat trade.
The farm er should have some help if it is possible to
give it to him, everyone is agreed. If he were assisted in
keeping control of his crop and out of the hands of specu
lators the farm er would no doubt take his place in the sun
If he were not compelled to dum p his wheat as soon as
harvested on a depressed m arket in order to pay taxes
m ortgages and harvesting expense then the farm er might
sell more advantageously. The governm ent should work
tow ard m aking the farm er m aster of his own vocation.
But to regulate the law of supply and demand, con
gress might as weft pass legislation calling for w ater to run
up hill.
OPEN TH E PASS EARLY
Polks in the McKenzie valley are m aking a move for
the early opening of the highway pass. While snow is deep
e r than usual on McKenzie pass this year, they report that
it is not packed and icy as yet. They think th at the snow
plow could be removed without great difficulty.
There is more than ordinary im portance in opening the
pass this year
Last season the new money left in Oregon
by the tourist business exceeded all our o ther industries.
In fact it comprised most of the new money we received. It
will be so this year and the quicker we get our main high
ways in shape for traffic the more profitable It will be for us.
While it is expensive to remove snow th a t nature will
melt later in the year, this work as em ergency relief employ
m ent has merit. It is a great deal more im portant to have
the pass open early than to do some of the road work now
being carried on in Lane county and other parts of the state
for the purpose of giving work to unemployed. Let’s divert
some of these crews to opening the pass.
