STATION IMPORTANT
Tangible evidence of the importance of the
Malheur experiment station to this county is
developing from the work o f Dudley Sitton and
his assistants on the experimental area near
Cairo junction.
One of the outstanding experiments conduct
ed at the station is the feeding o f livestock,
which gives farmers of this county an idea of
what local-grown feed is the most satisfactory
from the standpoint of gains made as compared
to feed costs.
The first announcement of the release of a
vegetable to Malheur county gardeners from
the station was announced last week A bean,
developed by H. F. Dana of the United States
department of agriculture at Corvallis, makes
an excellent green bean and if left to mature
will make a good dried bean.
The station, bringing such agricultural bene
fits to the county should be supported by tax
payer's and other residents of the towns and
rural areas.
W H AT IS THE OBJECTIVE?
To give the devil his due, everybody knows
the OPA has a tough job, and every fair-mind
ed citizen is willing to make plenty o f allow
ance for unavoidable errors. On the other hand,
the public will not calmly accept so-called price
regulation, which, in reality, is arbitrary and
unjustified profit control.
To illustrate how price regulation is twisted
to effect profit control, Mr. C. F. Hughes, in the
New York Times, says: “ Some 40,000 medium
trucks were manufactured for a civilian pool at
a cost which reflected higher labor and mater
ial charges. The OPA agreed to let the produc
ers charge the extra costs, but is insisting that
dealers exclude this additional amount from
their mark-up. Financing, insurance, overhead
and other expenses are therefore ignored .
Profit, rather than price control is obviously the
objective.”
Similar demoralizing regulations have been
perpetuated in the “ highest price line lirnitat-.
ion” order which OPA applied to various lines
of women’s and children’s clothes.
At a session of retailers in Washington, one
small town merchant told of a whole village
having to go 13 miles to buy apparel which was
eliminated from his store because he could not
purchase the cheap lines any longer (manufact
ure had been discontinued) and the O PA regul
ation forbade him stocking anything at a higher
price.
Such regulations shake public confidence in
the sincerity of purpose of the regulators.

made impossible by the terms of
the Wickersham bill. War food ad
ministrator would be aided by ad

in determining prices, terms and
conditions of sale in established
commercial channels.
The intent of congress to retain
control over the entire program is
made apparent by a provision re
quiring the food administrator to
report to congress each quarter up
on his operations. In this respect
the Wickersham bill does not differ
