P Strict-Mrs. EmnTPax- Colton Makes State- ment On Wheat Prices During War Answering the charge often made during the campaign that Herbert Hoower was responsible for the fixing of the price of wheat during the Worhl War, Congressman . Don . .13. Colton. in an address at Brigham City Saturday evening declared that the only connection the Republican nominee nomi-nee for president had with the matter was to prevent a price that would have resulted in great financial distress dis-tress to many thousands of American farmers. Congressman Colton said: "After the 1916 wheat crop had been sold by the farmers, competitive bidding by the allies forced the price to $3.26, but this dhl not react to the benefit of the farmers because the wheat had all passed into the hands of buyers and speculators. However, in 1917 there had been a combination of the buyers for the Allies who threatened to cut the prfce to $1.50 per bushel, as wheat could be obtained ob-tained in Argentine and Australia for that amount, but since it was so much cheaper to ship from the United 6tates, Herbert Hoover maintained the the farmer should receive a higher price. "At his suggestion, the committee, consisting of six farmers, two labor representatives, two economists and one businessman, was appointed to fix a fair price for the farmer's wheat. Mr. Hoover took no part whatever in the deliberations of this committee and on August 30, 1917, President, Wilson issued a statement in which he said that he had fixed the price of wheat at $2.20 on the recommendation of this committee and that Mr. Hoov. er at his express request had taken no part in the considerations of the question. "President Wilson took complete and full responsibility for the fixing of the price. The price of the 1928 crop was fixed by an act of Congress and so far as the records show, Utah's Democratic representation in the Congress voted for the act fixing the price at two dollars per bushel. "How unjust and unfair to charge this to Mr. Hoover when his only connection with the whole transaction transac-tion was to insist that a good price should be given to the American farmer." . Mr. Colton discussed, also, the tar. Iff and pointed out that inasmuch as the pemocratic platform declares for a tariff that will permit "effective competition" and the Republican platform declares for a continuance of "the protective tariff as fundamental fundamen-tal and essential principal of the economic life of this nation", that it divlduals. She cited Instances where was bound to be an issue,during the campaign and could not be side, stepped step-ped by the Democratic Party in this state. - - 1 Congressman Colton made an urg "C'immunlty Upbuilding" to be Club i.
