Ceiling on all prices seems to be in the making. If the government can fix the holes it should work but the problem is intricate. The ceiling is based on th cost of living, mainly, and this reverts back firstly to the farmer—the producer of the necessar ies of life. If production can be done cheaply enough then the ceiling may be low ; but if the farmer and other producers have heavy costs, they are headed for a squeeze. The cost of butter and eggs may seem high but a sharp pencil now can readily show that at a less fig ure the dairyman and egg grower will soon go out of business. The cry is that meat is high (and it is higher than last year) but the meat grower is only yet escaping the squeeze. He is being forced out of business this fall in many instances. If the new bill in congress or the power of the ad ministrator can regulate, for instance, the tremend ous wages in shipyards and other places and recon cile such wages with common labor, civil service po sitions, fixed employment in business, county, state and government jobs, a general basis of war time wages may be reached. If this can be equalized by a strong administrator with the cost of production of consumers goods a ceiling price fair to all may be reached. Heed the Railroad Stop Sign Sor e complaint has been made because the state has plac d stop signs at the railroad crossing near the railroad station in Hermiston. This spot has been under observation, like a number of others through- out the state, and the danger has become most ap parent due to the heavy traffic in Hermiston. Everyone knows that there is unusually heavy truck and car traffic here and, likewise, everyone hould know that there is an unusual amount of traf fic violations. The state is exercising precaution in the interest of saving human lives and damage to automobiles and state officers are instructed to en- force the regulations. If this were not done and someone were killed at this dangerous spot how quickly the roar would go up as to why city, county or state officers hadn’t done Alice Hedrick, Carolyn Smith and , 109000000900099999*409290099009009************? !
