PAGE THREE
PROTECTION
ARE ONE SIDED
Farmer Must Guarantee
Products to Consumer
And Take Chances
on Purchases.
By C. E. SPENCE,
State Market Agent.
Nearly every general demand pro
duct the farmer produces has a law
or regulation behind it compelling
the farmer to guarantee it to the con
sumer. He has to guarantee that his apples
are free from worms and worm holes,
under penalty of arrest.
He has to guarantee that his eggs
are fresht that they have been can
dled, and he has to grade them before
he can sell them to consumers.
He has to put his berries in cer
tain size boxes, his apples, tomatoes
and many other products in standard
crates, and on much of his stuff he
has to mark the weight and put his
name and address on the container.
He has to grade his potatoes to cer
tain law-defined standards and has to
mark his name and address on the
sacks before he is permitted to offer
them for sale. If he does not, he may
be arrested, fined and imprisoned.
There is nothing wrong or unjust
with these protective measures. They
are guarantees to consumers of qual
ity and quantity. When one pays the
price for fresh eggs or No. 1 potatoes
he should get what he pays for.
But the injustice lies in not com
pelling those who sell to the farmer
to give him the same guarantee. Let
us see if his purchases are guraan
tted. Does law compel that a label of the
quality of the suit of clothes he buys
shall be attached to that suit, so that
he may have some one arrested if he
has paid for a good suit and got a
shoddy one? There is no such law.
Does state statute provide for in
spectors for farm machinery and im-
plements, to see that nothing but first
class material is used in those sold
in Oregon? Does law compel dealers
in fencing to guarantee that it is
properly galvanized, when the farmer
pays the galvanized price? .
Does law compel the feed dealers
of Oregon to attach a guarantee to
the sack of feed the farmer buys for
his stock, as the framer has to do
with his sack of potatoes?
Does law give the farmer any pro
tection or guarantee that he will re
ceive the market price, or half the
market price, when he ships his pro
ducts to the commission men? Is
there any law to compel these dealers
to give bonds for honest transactions?
The farmer doesn't get anywhere
near an even break in this deal of
public protection. He is discriminat
ed against. He has to guarantee the
duff he sells but gets no guarantee
'n the most that he buys. Our legis
lature should change the one-sided
system and give the farmer the same
protection that is demanded of him.
AS THE OREGONIAN SEES HIM.
From an editorial in the Portland
Oregonian, April 21: "The farmer is
in the same position as the steel in
dustry would occupy if a great army
of men engaged in that industry were
divided into a number of small
groups, each competing with the oth
ers in the same market and all Belling
their products through a host of
brokers, wholesalers, jobbers and re
tailers whose aggregate share of the
f.nal price was double that of the
producer."

Remember May the 8th, at 7:30 in
the high school auditorium. "Her
Honor the Mayor" will be there and
she assures you two hours of perfect
entertainment. Come and get your
best laugh of the year.
A dance will be given after the play
under the auspices of the I. 0. 0. F.
in their hall.
One more week and the school year
of 1925-28 will be past history. We
can not help but look back to the
many pleasant hours we spent togeth
er. Some were taken up with work,
others with play but always we were
glad to be here.
But the end is always sad; from
our midst will go those who are sen
iors, never to return. We shall miss
them, but we must grow accustomed
to such separation.
Each year there is a group going,
that is to be expected. Each year,
too, there is a group entering and it
is this group that should now receive
our attentions. Every member of this
high school who knows of any one
in the district eligible for high school,
should do his utmost to bring that
person here next year. We wish to
be an up and coming school. With
strong cooperation from the student
body, pupils could be brought here
next year that are at present unde
cided as to whether they will go to
high school. Let's manifest a little
school spirit and show outsiders some
of the pride we have in our high
school.
Rev. W 0. Livingston, now of
Hood River but formerly of Hepp

May 17. Rev. Mr. Livingston is well
known in this community, and his
lability sa a speaker needs no further
comment. The high school has been
indeed very fortunate to secure him.
Mr. and Mrs. Harlan McCurdy were
visitors at the Furlong home in
Hardman last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Chester Saling re

Luncheon Tendered to
Marshfield Educator
Teachers and Business Men of Port

A. Howard.
Charles A. Howard, city superin
tendent of the Marshfield schools and
candidate for the republican nomina
tion for state superintendent of pub
lic instruction, was given a compli
mentary luncheon at the Multnomah
hotel in Portland Saturday noon by
more than 200 business men and prin
cipals and teachers of the Portland
schools. Frank E. Andrews, former
ly president of the Portland chamber
of commerce, presided.
The Marshfield chamber of com
merce had sent large sprays of rho
dodendrons which decorated each of
the tables, and at the speaker's table
exquisite little baskets of forget-me-nots
were at each plate.
In support of the candidacy of Mr.
Howard, who has a fine educational
record in this state, having served in
the schools of Klamath Falls, Eugene,
Coquille and Marshfield, speeches
were made by Judge John S. Coke,
formerly United States attorney for
Oregon; Mrs. D. B. Kelly, represent
ing organizations of mothers; T. J.

and formerly county school superin
tendent of Clackamas county; C, E.

Service and the Small
Account
This bank is a service institution organized to meet finan
cial necessities of its depositors. The amount of its ser
vice to its dpeositors often depends on the bank balances
they maintain.
This bank must carefully protect the funds deposited
here by its depositors. Money can be loaned only when
we feel sure that it will be safe. When a depositor main
tains a reasonably large, steady balance, it is an indica
tion to us that he knows how to use money successfully.
It gives us a reason to believe that loans to him will be
safe. That is one reason why depositors who maintain
large balances get better service from their bank. They
are entitled to it.
And even more than that, a large balance provides
the depositor with sufficient funds to take care of emer
gencies and business opportunities that may arise.

Senator Stanf ield Renders
Great Service to Oregon
ft
l i V ' j
In an address sent to and
read before the Portland Ad
vertising Club, Wednesday,
April 21, 1926, United States
Senator Robert N. Stanfield
said :
"When I entered the U. S.
Senate, March 4, 1921, agri
culture was in dire straits,
prcies were down, producers
were hard up, and the banks
and loan companies in farm
ing communities were un
able to realize on the notes
they held. Quick action
was necessary to relieve the
agricultural distress.
Works Hard, With
Gooding, For Em
ergency Tariff. .
"After repeated efforts I
succeeded, assisted by Sen
ator Gooding of Idaho, in
overcoming the objections of Senator Penrose, Chairman of the Sen
ate Finance Committee, to an emergency tariff on farm products,
and on May 27, 1921, the Emergency Tariff Bill became law. This
Act placed protective duties on 28 of the principal farm products, in
cluding wheat, corn, potatoes, onions, cattle, meat, wool, butter,
cheese, milk, apples, cherries and nuts.
Stanfield Comes to Rescue With Amendment
"On May 20, 1921, the Stanfield Bill was introduced "to preserve
the livestock industry of the United States, to release for commercial
agrciultural and industrial purposes certain funds of banks, livestock
loaning ond trust companies, to amend the war finance corporation
act, and for other purposes."
"The Stanfield Bill, or its principal provisions, became a law on
August 24, 1921, the Senate Committee on Agriculture submitting its
main features through Senator McNary as an amendment substituted
for the Norris Bill, along with other provisions. Under its. terms the
War Finance Corporation made advances for agricultural relife
amounting to $298,000,000, of which the banks, trust and loan com
panies of Oregon that serve agriculture received $6,696,000.
Drafted Into Relief Service by Treasury Dept.
"As soon as the War Finance Corporation was prepared tS func
tion under this law, nnd at the request of the Treasury Department,
I went West, where I spent months assisting and advising with the
bankers, thereby enabling them to procure the needed help quickly
and before it was too late to save them. Fortunately, very few failed
in Oregon in comparison to other states.
Forced to Keep Silent to Protect the Banks
"Much was said about my absence from the Senate during this
time, but I was forced to keep silent and go about my work without
referring to my absence or mission, because if the people had known
why I was in the West and what I was doing, suspicion would have
been directed to every bank I entered, and to every banker with whom
I talked. Until the banks could turn their frozen paper into liquid
assets, my silence was imperative to avoid embarrassment to them
and the defeat of the relief needed and sought."
