The margin between the flour
price and the bread price, for a bar
rel of flour, has spread from (10.40
to $18 30. while the price of wheat
to the grower is below the cost of
production. The department of Ag
riculture states that a pound of
bread that cost the consumer 5 3
cents in 1913, in Minneapolis, now
costa 9 cents, while flour which wa<
14.43 a barrel in 1913 is now (6 89

The Portland Chamber of Com.
merce has reversed its first decision
and is now strongly backing the
wheal export bill before congress,
and will send representatives to
Washington to work for the law.
At the recent Portland meeting of
the chamber and the wheat growers
of eastern Oregon the bankers stated
that many wheat growers have
turned their ranches over to the
mortgage companies, that they are
going deeper and deeper in debt,
and that unless some measure like
the esport bill gives them speedy
relief, they will leave the farms in
great numbers this summer and fall.
'quoted. What a rvdicoious system,
what needless waste, work, expense
and middle profits—«hipping our so-
called "surplus stocks” to Europe and
bringing back about as much of the

But be it either, would it not be a good
idea to so increase the tariff on these
products that imports cannot com* in

American farmers?
There is a vast difference between
the living and wage standards of the
United States arid every country of
Europe, Asia and Africa. Since the
war the differences have increased.
Thia country simply cannot comiwte
with other nations and their low pro
duction costs. The present tariff sche
dules arc of little effect in keeping out
products that und«-rsell us.
The tariff on beef is 3 cents per pound.
Of what benefit is this to Oregon stock
men who are going broke every day?
The tariff on eggs is «»rent», yet almoat

come in? Would not there be a market

ducts of Americans?
The absurdity of shipping miliums of
dollar* worth of our products abroad
each year to get rid of our ''surplus*'
and then bringing bark nearly the *ag>,
amount of like cheap European products,
should be apparent to anyone who will
study export and import schedules.
