RETAIL RATE TO
BE SET IN CODE
Government Plans Agree
ment for Producer, Mid
dlemen and Consumer
Means Increase for Public
WASHINGTON. Aug. S3. (AD j
The government la about to tlx the
price paid lor the milk that la act
on nearly every door-sill or porch In
the country.
The plan to far Is Just tentative as
to details and Is being written by
farm administration otflclals and i
dairymen. At most, the otllclals feel
the result should bo an average In- j
ereaso In cost to the consumer or
one cent a quart.
It would work this way:
For the country as a whole, there
would be a central blanket agreement
covering all fluid milk and outlining
policies and' fair . trade practices.
Codes then would be drawn for each
milk shed, each area producing and
consuming Its own milk. These would
fix the farm, wholesale and retail
prices of milk.
Effective On All
If a majority of fluid milk pro
ducers and handlers accepted the
blanket agreement. It and Its supple
mentary codes would bo effective on
ell.
Individual areas, however, which
jield price adjustments necessary be
cause of special conditions, would be
allowed appeals.
If their appeals were convincing,
the prices could be changed.
Also included In the plan Is the
Idea of limiting to 5 or 6 cents the
difference between what the cow
owner gets for his milk and what the
drinker pays for It, thus restricting
the middleman's profit, the "spread."
Small I'luces F.vcludcd
Some of tho smallest communities,
where the producer also distributes
bis milk, would be excluded.
There Is Involved, likewise, a plan
for controlling the amount of milk
produced and sold, without that,
farm administrators say, the blanket
and supplemental agreements would
be no good, for the tendency toward
over-supply, with consequent low
prices, would be unchecked.
The Idea likely to be Included In
the proposal would permit local com
mittees to fin total production In
jnllk shed areas, allocating that total
among various herds.

The Chamber of Commerce baseball
teams went over the top with flying
colors today, announcing achievement
of the membership quota of 73,
about noon. Continuing through the
ninth Inning of the game, the cap
tains. J. Verne Shangle and George
Henselman, expected to roll the total
up to 80. at least, they declared early
this afternoon.
Henselman's only complaint was
that Shangle's team had been at
the bat too long, rolling up a 46
total to Its credit. Shangle s reply
. was that the score board showed who
could play ball, and that the Rogues
were still out to devour- the Hensei-
man Bosca. In the field or at the
bat.
The total announced today was
greeted throughout the city as the
result of grand work on the part of
all players.
To accomplish a goal In times auch
as these (which all Insisted are get
ting better day by day) "la some
thing." one beseball fan declared,

BANNING n-fPOTS
A referendum petition, carrying
approximately 550 names, asking that
the recently passed amendment to
the Medford milk ordinance be re
ferred to the people at the next regu
lar election. November 6. 1934. was
filed this morning with the city re
recorder, following the public hear
ing at which Medrord's milk prob
lems were aired last night at the
city hall to approximately 60 people.
The petition, objecting to the re
cent ordinance, which amends the
existing milk ordinance to Include
milk depots In the list of businesses
which must confirm to the provl
slona forbidding aale of milk other
than In the original containers, was
said to carry a representative list of
names, Including several physicians.
The milk depots, which sprang In
to being here during recent years,
were the chief topic of discussion at
last night's hearing, called by the
city council. Their early elemtna
tion from the dairy scene was fore
cast by J. D. MIckle of the state dairy
and food commission, and their con
tinuance urged by a number of op
erators and Colonel E. E. Kelly and
Attorney T. J. Enrlght. who repre
sented them.
Strict enforcement of the grade A
milk ordinance and of the new
amendment, was asked by Mr. Mickle.
who declared that most epidemics in
the state could be traced to Inade
quate milk supervision.
He informed the gathering that
a national code la being drawn up
which will prevent continuance of
the depota as they are now operated
He also stated that the milk depot
plan la in violation of the alma of
the National Recovery Act, because
it forces down the price of l.'k In
stead of encouraging higher prices,
which should be maintained.
Colonel Kelly, speaking In defense
of the milk depots, declared that
the amendment to the ordinance was
a definite move to force the depota
out of operation and would defeat
the whole program hero for main
taining a high milk atandard. He
stated that no one had led an attack
upon the sanitation of the depots
and that the entire car.'.;aign was
based upon a price differentiation.
The milk depots, he declared,- were
only opened after the producers
found it lmposlble to sell their prod

WENATCHEE FRUIT
GROWERS BALK AT
MARKETING PLAN
Eastern Consuming Repre
sentatives Say Pact Prac
ticalFour Features Ob
jected to by Wenatchee
PORTLAND, Ore. Aug. 23. (AP)
Testimony by representatives of east
ern consuinLng centers that the pro
posed Pacific northwest trco fruit
marketing agreement Is practical and
workable, and objections from the
Wenatchee, Wash., district to the fun
damental organization plan, was ex
pressed at today's session of the fed
eral hearing on a marketing agree
ment here. The hearing, in Its sec
ond day, wns directed by the, federal
agricultural adjustment administra
tion. Direct testimony of proponents of
the proposed agreement was completed
just beforo the noon recess and A.
J. O'Connor, attorney for the minority
group, opened the case against fea
tures of the plan. He estimated that
testimony of his group would take
two hours. It waa to be followed by
brief rebuttal testimony, so adjourn
ment could be taken this afternoon.
Four Phases Disliked.
Four specific features of the pro
posed plan were objected to by O'Con-
ner, who raised a question of the ad
visability of any regional plan, and
revealed that his group has organized
a separate corporation known as the
growers and shippers branch of North
Central Washington, Inc., which will
appeal for separate recognition from
the secretary of agriculture as an
administrative unit.
He proposed that any such Individ
ual units work under essentially the
same code as others In the region,
but that its organization plan be left
to the local group to do with as it
sees fit.
Other leaders- said such a vital
change would upset the basic organl'
zatlon plan of the four-state setup
which has been reported as appealing
particularly to the administration of
ficials at Washington, D. C, and will
be opposed by proponents of the pres
ent agreement In rebuttal testimony.
Specific objections to parts of the
pending agreement mentioned by
O'Conner were fear that minimum
price fixing will not be flexible
enough; fear that dealers will hold
out on dally reports of sales and ship
ments; objections to the lack of grow
er representation on the board of
trustees and to the definition of a
grower for the commodity commit
tees, and finally objection to auc
tlon control.
The vital necessity of withholding
low grade fruits from the market, and
the need of auction and export con
trol was covered by 10 witnesses colled
by Northwest Fruit Industries, Inc.,
in clur.ng their case in favor of the
agreement.
Cull Fruit Detriment.
Henry Hartman of Oregon State
College, In charge of research work in
co-operation with the' Oregon-Washington
Pear bureau, was called to give
an expert testimony on the subject
from the studies made in eastern con
suming centers over the pftit four
years. He waa emphatic in saying
that cull fruit Is detrimental m ad
ding to the total supply, in replacing
good fruit and in ;:vu 5 buyers a
leverage for bearing down the prices
of good stuff.
Myron S. Foster of Wenatchee, who
Is both a producer and shipper, added
that any grower 2000 miles from mar
ket who depends on returns from
shipping low grade stuff la "sunk be
foro he starts."
Turning to auction control features
of the plan, proponents called on
Joseph Schwalb. president of the In
dependent Fruit Auction of New York
City. Schwalb testified that the auc
tions were the all-Important outlet In
New York, that they affect all mar
kets cast of Chicago, and that con-

Delegation Going to Meeting
of Highway Commission

Work Needed for Relief
Southern Oregon will be largely
represented at the Joint meeting of
the Highway Commission and the
Bureau of Public Roads In Portland
Friday of thia week, to try and get
some Immediate action on the
straightening of the Pacific Highway
over tho Siskiyou. At the June 30
meeting attended by delegations from
a number of the cities along the Pa
cific highway. Including Medford. the
Siskiyou project waa Included In the
allocations made from the $6,100,000
federal road funds for Oregon, sub
ject to federal approval, and It was
gone rally understood work would be
commenced as soon as approval was
received, bids could be advertised and
let. Almost two months have passed
and bids have not been advertised for.
Tuesday C. H. Demaray, president
and Jack Harvey, secretary of the
Grant Pass Chamber of Commerce
special committee, ex-Mayor Thornton
and Tom Cunning, secretary of the
Ashland chamber committee, met in
Medford with S. S. Smith, represent
ing the local committee, the other
member, C. E. Qates, being out of the
city, and decided to send a delegation
from Medford, Ashland, Oranta Pass,
Roseburg, Eugene, Albany and other
cities along the Pacific Highway to
the Portland meeting Friday and en
deavor to secure a promise to adver
tise for bids for the Siskiyou work
early In September, let the contract
later In the mouth, so work could be
started in October. This would please
all cltlea along the Paclflo Highway,
as they have been united In request
ing that the bottle-neck be taken out
of the Slsklyous. It would also great
ly relieve the unemployed situation in
southern Oregon, the real object for
which the federal funds were appro
priated. The county court and the city of
Medford will also send representatives
to this meeting In Portland Friday,
a the other cltlea along the Pacific
Highway are doing.
The original appropriation for the
Siskiyou work waa $300,000, but
owing to a reduction In federal funds
this was reduced to $227,000. The
work agreed upon for the beginning
la some of the most difficult moun
tain construction on the revised route
and very expensive, It being estimated
the appropriation would only con
struct about three miles. When the
work Is started It la the belief that
the government will continue the ap
propriations from year to year until
tho highway la completed.

PORTLAND, Aug. 33. (IT) Gover
nor Meier, prominent legislators and
head of relief agencies, believe a
alra tax for unemployment relief
and support of Oregon's schools Is
the only solution to a desperate
financial plight.
It la a foregone conclusion, many
of them said today, that a special
session of the legislature will be call
ed In September.
legislative leaders, directors of re
lief work In Oregon, heads of civic
organizations and economists met
here Tuesday afternoon with the gov
ernor In an attempt to develop some
pian wnereby unemployment relief
work can be carried on. The federal
government had given notice that
unless Oregon provides two dollsrs
for every federal dollar, the govern
ment will make no further alloca
tions for relief work. Oregon at the
present time has no fund from which
this matching money can be drawn.
Need rnqueatloned.
Every possible solution waa dis
cussed at the meeting here. Governor
Meier said. 'the need for unemploy
ment, reuer is unquestioned. Th
ways and means of providing the re
lief funds are our only problem."
All discussions eventually led back
to the proposed ssles tax not a prop
erty tax offset plsn which waa de

sales tax whose proceeds would go
only for unemployment relief and
