SOMEt EFFECTS OF PRICE
FIXING
Perhaps the most likely place to
find horse sense is on a farm. Any
way, there is an Idaho farmer who
has a supply of horse sense and
the courage to display it. The state
food administrator having com
menced an altercation with him
over the use of wheat, he came back
with the information that he can
buy wheat flour for $5.45 per hun
dred while corn meal costs •>'.» ■
hundred, that for stock feeding pur
poses his wheat is worth $2.25 a
hundred on the ranch but if he sub
stituted oats they cost him $•"...3 5 a
hundred and if he substitutes corn
it costs him $4.25 a hundred. He
marketed a carload of hogs which
he had fattened on the $2.25 wheat,
after trying to buy corn and finding
that it would cost him $4.25. He
would have lost money on the hogs
if he hail fattened them on corn.
Perhaps the government price fixers
who never produced either wheat or
corn or hogs will say that he
should have raised the hogs at a
loss. What say you?
LUMBER CUT OF IDENTICAL
MILLS IN OREGON AND WASH
INGTON FOR 1917
Lumber census reports received up
to March 15, by District Forester
George H. Cecil, show that 205 large
mills in Oregon and Washington cut
five and one-half billion board feet
during 1917. This is 150 million
board feet more than the cut of the
same mills for 1916.
The returns available are as yet
incomplete, although about three
! fourths of the mills of the two
states have sent in reports. Be
cause of the need for an accurate
census, due to the country's war
time demand for lumber, officials in
charge of the work are urging mills
which have not yet reported to do so
as soon as possible. >

I. W. W. GIVEN COAT TAR AT
YATUMA
No information says a Yakima
news item of Tuesday, was obtainable
as to the whereabouts of James
Meyers, I, W. W. secretary, who was
tarred and feathered last night by a
mob of unidentified persons.
Officials expressed the belief that
Meyers "kept on going." Officers
today visited Meyers' room and
seized correspondence and other
papers. Meyers was taken a mile
out of town, given a coat of tar and
feathers and told to leave the city.
Me was told to warn I, W. W. associ
ates that any other secetary who
came to Yakiina to work would re
ceive the treatment accorded "Little
in Montana." Meyers, believing he
was to be hanged, begged hard for
his life, told his history, declared he
had been forced into the order by
threats of death, said that Spokane
and Seattle money was supporting
the Yakima work and promised to
return to his native state and be a
good citizen.

AMERICAN SUGAR
SENT TOJRANCE
American Price Rigidly Regulated
by United States Food
Administration.
CONSUMERS HERE PAY 9c.
Sugar Cost 35 Cents a Pound During
Civil War—Refiners' ProflU
Now Curtailed.'
Sugar is setting today throughout
America at from 8% to 9 cents a
pound to the consumer, even though j
there is a world shortage which has
reduced this nations sugar allotment
to 70 per cent, of normal.
Through the efforts of the United
States food administration the sugar i
market has been regulated as far as i
the producer, refiner and wholesaler
Is concerned. The food administration
has no power to regulate retail prices
except by public opinion. Even though j
more than 88,000 ions of Digit have I
been shipped to France in the last
four months the retail grocer's sucar
price is around 8 to 8% cents. He
should sell this sugar at BVa to 9 j
cents, the food administration believes, !
and asks the American housewife to j
pay no more than this amount.
Last August when the food admin
istration was organized the price of
sugar rose suddenly to 11 cents a
pound. During the Civil War sugar
cost the consumer 35 cents ■ pound.
By regulation of the sugar market and
reducing the price to 8% and 9 cents
and keeping it from advancing to 20
cents the food administration lias sav
ed the American public at least $180.
--| 000,000 in four months, according to
I • statement made by Herbert Hoover
the other day.
"It Is. our stern duty to feed the al
lies, to maintain their health and
strength at any cost to ourselves,"
Mr. Hoover declared. "There has not
been, nor will be as we see it, enough
sugar for even their present meagre
j and depressing ration unless they send
! ships to remote markets for It. If we
in our greed and gluttony force them
either to further reduce their ration ,
or to send these ships we will have
done damage to our abilities to win
| this war.
"If we send the ships to Java
for 250,000 tons of sugar next year
we will have necessitated the em
ployment of eleven extra ships for
one year. These shipsif used In
transporting troops—would take
150,000 to 200,000 men to France."
Reason for World Shortage.
As Mr Hoover pointed out, th«
United States, Canada and England
were sugar importing countries before
the war, while France and Italy were
very nearly self supporting. The main
sources of the world's sugar supply
was Germany and neighboring powers,
the West Indies and the East Indies.
German sugar is bo longer available,
as It Is used entirely In Germany,
which also absorbs sugar of surround
ing countries.
England can no longer buy 1,100,000
long ions of sugar each year from
Germany. The French sugar produo
tlon has dropped from 750,000 to 210*

of the advisory commission created tt
aid the Council uf National Defense,
I undertook their further development
when, in Washington, ha was made
•hairinan of the committee on trans
portation and communication.
It was W. G. Besler, president of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey and ■
member of the executive committee of
the American Railway association,':
who proposed turning the undertaking
over to the association. Said he:
"It is the only machinery which we- r
Ists in this country for co-ordinating

problem, the only piece of machinery
which can niika itself felt throughout

when they undertake work of which
they have no knowledge. This work to
work tnat needs the Kreatest planninf
by export traffic men. Every move most
be thought out in detail, and there is
none i'> do it so fell as the association.
"For instance, I have frieuds who
have told of seeing in Germany hug*
fan shaoed stretches of track just with
in the German border. Ho trains were
on them. No factories were near. T^ey
lay in waste stretches of country or
country that had been leveled tolas
these masses of track lie in a plain.
