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 from the makers. 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 same stocks. "Over production. ” we hear of this condition on every hand. Perhaps U !• under consumption caused by the high coat of joy-riding our product* to Eur­ opa and bringing Uke ones home again But be it either, would it not be a good idea to so increase the tariff on these products that imports cannot com* in here and take the markets away from 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 47.WO.OOO of Chinese an»! oth»-r foreign ( products get by and help to ¡»ut the poultrymen out of business.

OfXl.txiO more of the dairy pro 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. What American agriculture needs now is protection against the foreign evuntri-»» that can beat us in the rust of production, at d elimination of much of ths legion of mid,lie interests and profiteers between the farm anil retail store.
