‘‘The Six Best Eellars” fs an amus
ing story about Prohibition in which
the "Johnny Berger” plays a promin-
ent part. Director Donald Crisp
wanted some samples of the real
thing for the picture. But in these
days it was like searching for the
proverbial needle to locate it. Finally
a former brewery magnate, now a
millionaire living in retirement in
Los Angelos, was induced to loan the
cases from his private stock.
In the picture Bryant Washburn
has the role of the leading light in
an exclusive social set of young mar
ried people in a suburban town. His
prominence depends largely upon the
stock of choice drinkables In his cel
lar. When this runs low, he makes
frantic efforts to recoup, with hum
orous results. Wanda Hawley is the
leading woman, and it is a Para

Donald Crisp.

kind in force at that time., Since
then much progress has been made
along the lines of cooperative mark
eting. More thought has been given
the subject and newer Ideas formed.
Last fall Dr. MacPherson went to
California and studied conditions
whnre success had been attained
along this line than in any other
part of the United States. Upon his
return he drew up certain amend
ments that he felt were vital to the
fullest development of a system of
marketing that brings producer and
consumer closer to each other than
the present system.
All other advocates of the "back
to the farm" movement have ac-
complished nothing. People will go
back to the farm only when the pro
fits that can be made there are suf
ficient to enable them to live under
1921 conditions instead of 1850 con
ditions, under which most rural pop
ulations now exist..
Denmark, where-cooperative mark
eting has been encouraged and
practiced for forty years, is the only
nation on the face of the globe where
in the last decade rural population
has Increased at the expense of the
cities. In all other countries the .
people have migrated from the farm
to the city, so that the food supply
is actually threatened. Prosperity
on the farm means prosperity to all.
The new cooperative marketing law
safeguards the small producers and
shortens the road from the producer
to the consumer.
A bitter fight was staged against
this bill by the Nestles Food Co., the
big 43,000,000 foreign cooperation,
which has at all times been determin
ed to disrupt marketing organiza
tions and insist upon dealing only
with Individuals. Their opposition
availed them nothing, and in fact,
served only to cement the members
of the legislature together in favor
of the bill. The bill passed the Sen
ate with only four dissenting votes.
The four voting against it being
Hume and Mosier of Multnomah co-
unties; Edwards of Tillamook county
and Nickelson of Hood River. It
passed the House with four voting
against It, namely, Alien of Lane
county; Beals of Tillamook County;
Burdick of Deschutes and Hyatt of
Wallowa county. Their argument
against the bill was that. If given
too much encouragement and pro
tection farmers’ organizations would
grow Into one great big monopoly.
deterimental to society.
There is a world òf difference
between a trust composed of produc-
ers who combine for the purpose of
marketing their own crops and a
trust composed of a few speculators
who combine for the purpose of cor
nering a commodity for speculative
purpose.
A producers’ monopoly will never
become a trust detrimental to society.
It Is their business to continue pro
producing. If producers attemp to
bolster up prices to the point where
consumption is curtailed, they in
jure themselves by destroying their
future market, A trust composed
of men who buy and sell is not inter-
ested In future production, seeking
only to profit by that which is under
Its control. It squeezes the publie for
the last dollar regardless of the fu-
ture, welfare of either producer or
consumer.
