and its aeeompanvinn irofanity, lo the excessive heat.
This may he a correct diagnosis but, we fear, places too irrcat
a responsibility on the weather man. J'rohably the political heat,
which Mr. Lfnue cncininlcied in the wheat belt, contributed
more to his physical debility and verbal extravagance, than the
climatic product.
Like most men of affairs who enter polities for the first
time, .Mr. Jjcgcc undoubtedly finds the going rather rough, lie
is familiar with opposition, and accustomed to overcoming it.
but being "damned if he, does and damned if he doesn't," is
in all likelihood a new and somewhat exasperating experience.
W11KN he entered Chicago from Kansas, Chairman l.egge
was met by a telegraphic demand from the Wichita Jiea
eon that as head of Kami Kclicl' he immediately order the pur
chase of lll(l,ll(ll),IHI0 bushels of wheat, and save the Kansas
wheat farmers from ruin. This demand was backed up by
Senator Capper from the same state.
Small wonder that the chairman's oral reaction was not
strictly parliamentary. For last fall when the Kami Hoard did
make such a puuehasc at $1.1H a bushel, anil the price proceeded
to drop below !I0 cents, his Kansas opponents flayed hini for
pulling the government into the wheat pegging business, and
forcing the overburdened taxpayers to hold the sack.
NOW the name forces ask him to repeat what it formerly eon

wheal, at 82 cents is different from buying it at .1.18; for at
the latter price the government was sure lo lose money, while
at the former price it can't fail to make it. And, to rub in the
offense, the Kansas newspaper that demanded this aelion hail
only a few days before demanded .MK. LKOMK'S KM.M KD1ATK
liHKKJXATION.
Sure of himself and perfectly at home in the business world,
Mr. Leggc can hardly be blamed for being pretty much at sea,
and profoundly irritated in the confusing arena of practical pol
ities. Ill placing all his troubles upon polities he is liudoubl
cdly correct. Hut that docs not alter the fact that when one en
ters politics, one must bear the burdens that polities impose.
TTllH only thing Chairman Legge can do, is to do T1IK liKST
UK. CAN, and take the hammering he gets regardless of
what he does, as only a part of the game. Jf wheat prices im
prove he will win, if they don't he will lose. In polities, as in
other affairs of life, nothing succeeds like success; and, regard
less of the excellence of one's intentions, there is no alibi for
failure.
So we trust I he Farm Hoard leader will waste no more en
ergy in lambasting his political foes, or trying to make politics
conform to the rules of either business or common sense. Kar
better to just plug along, do the immediate job before him, as he
believes it should be done, and follow tho example of another
liig Husiness Man who entered polities, keep sawing wood,
devole his spare momcntaj like Ambassador Morrow, to a study
of the (ircek philosophers.
THE "IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT"
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 21. Tito Treasury tinlay refiised In

American labor should not be asked under any circumstances to
competo with Itusxlan convict Improved workers.
Ill the dispatch above conies the answer. What does this
mean' Jt means a grcaf; many things, all of them o tremendous
and portcntious import.
IT means first, that Soviet Russia, with its system of commun-
ism, the elimination of private profit, and, practically speak
ing, the elimination of wages, can, with its unlimited natural re
sources, compter not only the lumber markets of this country
but of the world. As everyone knows, 30 per cent of the total
cost of timber logging and manufacturing is paid to labor di
rectly in wages. Soviet Russia eliminates this cost at the outset.
More than that, it can ship the lumber from Archangel to Xew
York for 8 a thousand feet, whereas the Oregon manufacturer
has to pay from $10 to .14 to reach the same market through
the Panama Canal.
"VK needs only a pencil and paper to see that, unless this
- Russian competition is destroyed, the chief industry in this
northwest is doomed. Hut in the tariff bill so generally con
demned no adequate protection
is that as far as such competition is concerned no adequate tar
iff protection could be given, except by a tariff aimed at Rus
sia alone.
Hut the Treasury prohibits
ground that the wood pulp js produced by convict labor! This
will no" doubt please the sweet-tempered Comrade Stalin very
much! And it will please, the other Soviet leaders just as much.
"We can't compete with
arc convicts.' If that isn't, diplomatically speaking, a caustis
belli we don't know the meaning of the term.
So to repeat, unless Russian
OK WJCAKX1CSSS1CS IXIIICRIC.NT IN T11IC SYSTEM, then its
conflict with what we know as American capitalism, is as cer
tain as the sunset this evening, or sunrise tomorrow. It is in
all seriousness the "irrepressible conflict between opposing and
enduring forces."

Itcgardliig Pear Valuations
To tho Kdltor:
As one of the oldest fruit grow
ers In the valley from the' stand
point' of experience and as the
president of tho Med ford Pear
Growers association, which organi
zation controls some threo hundred
and fifty cars of fruit this season,
and which experienced no difficul
ty in contracting its packing ami
selling at the figures which I shall
uso as a basis for comparison, I
wish to object strenuously to the
Table of Pear Valuations as pub
lished In your paper of July 23 for
the "benefit" ( ?) of the pear
growers oh erroneous, misleading
and entirely unjustified by facta or
good business practice.
In view of this some analysis of
tlio table might be timely. I tako
it that tho table contemplates "a
sixty cent packing charge, a ten
per cent commission nnd an over
weight of at least five per cent.
Now sixty cents is entirely too
much for the packing operation at
any time nnd more especially this
year because of business condi
tions. Supplies nro cheaper, labor
is not so expensive nnd far more
efficient and several houses are
now contracting packing at fifty
cents and fhe owners have given
me to understand that they expect
to make a dime profit at this price.
Ten percent on f. o. b. sales is too !
high. Tho eastern brokers work
for twenty-five dollars per car or
less and tho local packer and ship
per can certainly do the same. At
one dollar nnd fifty cents per box
(this would save five cents and at
three dollars would mean a saving
of twenty cents per box or over
one hundred dollars per car.
Tho majority of the boxes sold
f.o.b. from this valley nro marked
"minimum net weight when pack
ed 42 lbs." The buyers understand
this and buy on tills basis and any
weight In excess of this Is plain
waste of growers fruit nnd is the
one factor that has tho must to do
In determining the nack out of the

According to your figures nn
f.o.b. sale of one dollar and fifty

grower thirty-four dollars and fifty
cents per ton or seventy and forty

per box for his year's work, leav
ing thfe shipper nnd packer the re
mainder or seventy-nine and fifty
five one hundredths cents ($.7955)
per box for a few minutes opera
tion nnd a nominal investment.
A sixty cent per box charge,
covering pneking and selling,
should be ample compensation for
the shippers as any of them who
nro on their toes can get one hun
dred cars per season which under
eficient management will show a
profit of from ten to fifteen thou
sand dollars per year for their four
months work which is moro than
the average owner of a one hun-
! deed nrre nrrhnnl fthnwR fnv tila

ten times tho investment.
For tho purpose of comparison
I will extend your table by adding
tho returns to the growers, figured
on tho basis of a charge of sixty
cents per box tor packing and
selling and show the additional to
the grower.

STORIES
A CITY CANYON.
By 3liuy Graham ISmincr.
John nnd Peggy walked down
the magic path with tho Llttlo
Black Clockr until they reached a
turn where the
whole scene waa f

they wore in a
city.
It was a city
tt n like anything
they had ever
seen, and the
Little Black Clock
explained t h a t
he had turned
the t i m e way
ahead.-
Thero had been
a time when
John arid Peggy had visited a
very large city with their mother
and father and they had seen tho .
tall buildings. It had seemed then
as though they wero looking at '
canyons between huge cliffs ot '
stone.
At tho far end they could wo
tho sky just a narrow bit of tho .
sky. .'
The buildings were so very tall
on either side that this city looked
liko a tremendous series' of can
yons. Through ench street that they
went they would look up . from
time to time and see a llttlo nar
row strip of sky, and sometimes
a tiny glow from the sun would
light up the buildings and a, ray.
nf sunlight would try to play
"catch" with nnothor ray of sun-
light.
If they tried to look up to tho
tops of these buildings they al
most fell over backward nnd when
they took a ride in a very won
derful automobile they went on "
driveways made right through
buildings.
In fact almost all the buildings
were made so that thero wero
driveways going through them and
sometimes they would Kn through
building nfter building and hardly
see anything of tho streets.
Above, when they did look up.
they would see planes of all kinds
and sizes. As it drew dark they
saw some big dirigibles going
slowly over the city, with gleam
ing lights shining from . their sil
very forms.
"It seems like fairIanll.', Peggy
said, and John and the Little
Black Clock agreed with her.
