ADOPTING PLAN OF LOCAL MAN
A newspaper dispatch from Wash­
ington. I). C., dated July 14. quotes
an announcement made by the food
administration as follows: "The Unit-
ed States food administration’s gra n
corporation stands ready to buy all
wheat of the 1918 crop shipped to it.
Producers or dealers have the right
to bill cars of wheat direct to the
grain corporation at any rd the prin-
cipal primary markets at which it
maintains purchasing agencies."
This action of the food director
lends interest to some correspondence
which one of our Hermiston citizens
had with Herbert Hoover in June ol
last year, and indicates that the gov­
ernment is beginning a partial adop­
tion of the plan recommended by
him. The letter from our townsman
to Mr. Hover is as follows:
“I here is extended discussion in
the papers of this country at the pres­
ent time about our government estab­
lishing minimum and maximum prices
for foodstuffs. In the consideration
of this matter there appears to be an
absence of an import int plias - of the
subject. If the government, by edict
or mandate, were to establish mini
mum prices to the producer and max-
imum prices to the consumer, the re­
sult would be ineffective unless a sat­
isfactory means were provided for
carrying out such edict. A mere dec-
laration of minimiin ami maximum
prices would he useless unless an
absolute market were provided to
which the producer could sell his
product at the minimum price or
higher, and from which the consumer
could purchase the product at the
maximum price or less.
“It would be necessary for the gov­
ernment to provide that market.
While the producer should be privil
eged to sell to whomsoever lie choose
and at whatever price lie may desire,
yet if no other market were available
at the minimum price or higher the
government should be required to
purchase the product at the minimum
price so established, and the govern­
ment should be required to buy all
such products that may be offered
On the other hand, consumers may
pinchase food supplies from whomso­
ever they desire and at whatever pri
ces they may wish to pay, but. upon
demand, the government must be
prepared to sell such supplies to con
su ii< rs at the maximum prices or less.
“In order to protect the people of
limited means, it may be found nec-
essary to adopt laws making it an of-
tense, punishable by imprisonment,
for anyone to cither buy or sell arti­
cles in excess of the maximum prices
that max be set. It would probably
be impracticable to establish either
minimum or maximum prices for
quickly perishable goods, and it would
very likely be found advisable to ex
tend such low and high prices toother
necessaries in addition to food.
" The minimum and maximum pri­
ces will natili rally have to be changed
from time to tune to meet the fluctu­
ation in the cost of seeds, implements,
labor, land and borrowed money, and
the established prices may have lobe
modified to correspond with the sur­
plusage or shortage of supplies, but
after seed has once been planted a
minimum price could not be lowered
until the crop had been harvested
and time allowed tor its sale. This
price fixing power must be in the
hands of an individual or a commis-
sion that would be able to act quick-1
