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 Take wheat for Instance, the price of which is largely — i— w* » « . — o J f'xed i m this country by the world m arket. This new farm relief law places a $2.25 tax on flour now selling a t $2 80 a barrel wholesale. This m akes the price of the poor m an’s flour over $5 a barrel—and for what purpose" It will take an arm y of inspectors and collectors to put a t T in f n r n n . _ . _____ - . * _ this l law in force. TXT’ We a now V have scores of • farm board _ work­ 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. Congressm an W alter Pierce is the Democratic political boss in Oregon he has so informed his party.
