OREGON MILK
CONTROL LAW
tfDo you mean
to say that the
richness of our
milk is limited
bylaw?"
IXL The Milk Administration, under the
f 0 J broad authority granted It by the Ore
gon Milk Control Law, sets limits on
the richness of milk. It also sets the price yon must pay
for milk. '
The limits differ somewhat In different pens of the
state, but the principle U always the same. In Portland
standard milk is limited to 3.8 butterfat. If any distrib
utor should deliver richer milk he is required to charge
two cents more. In Josephine end Jackson counties
richer milk is more drastically discouraged. The moment
a distributor goes above J.4 butterfat he must charge
his customers.one cent more, ind at 3,7 he must charge
still another cent, and so on through sereral price rtnges.

Nearly all the merchants and
industrialists in the city 85 per
cent of them, according to May
or Chan Yi are under indict
ment on one charge or another.
The charges could be any of
the following "as "included in the
"five anti movement": bribery of
government or party officials;
theft of government property;
theft of state economic secrets;
tax evasion or padding of gov
ernment contracts.
Torture Used
Once a merchant is charged,
he is forced by physical and
mental torture to confess. He is
not only required to confess his
alleged guilt but also the
amount of money and property
he possesses. The fines often
amounting to expropriation.
One new police method used
in the campaign is "office ar
rest," I.e., confining the accused
to Ms office for questioning until
he confesses. The arrivals said in
almost every office in Shanghai
there is someone under arrest.
The arrivals said the main ob
jective In the "five anti move
ment" Is to get funds from the
money class to refill the national
treasury, which has been drain
ed by the Korean war. That ac
counted for the phenomenon
that however serious may be the
charge, the accused is always re
leased after he has paid the fine.
The arrivals branded it as "state
extortion pure and simple."

These regulations controlling the richness of milk
make it impossible to give the consumer greater value
for his money. At the same time, such restrictions increase
farmer surpluses of butterfat.
Milk control holds down the richness of milk you

friends and relatives and even
between parents and children.
Friends and relatives rarely
visit each other unless it's abso
lutely necessary. They don't help
each other any more, because it
is easy to help unwittingly
someone who is under police
suspicion as a "political unde

charged as one.
