Show x. Courier VOL. HI. PRICE OF WHEAT the charge often made ''during the campaign that Herbert Hoover was responsible for the fixing of the price of wheat during the World War, Congressman Don B. Colton In an at Brigham City Saturday address evening declared that the only connominee for nection the Republican president had with the matter was to Answering prevent a price that would have resulted in great financial distress to many thousands of American farmers. Congressman Colton said: After the 1916 wheat crop had been sold by the farmers, competitive bidding by the allied forced the price to $3.25, but this did 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 buyers for the Allies who threatened to cut the price to $1.50 per bushel, as wheat could be obtained in Argentine and Australia for that amount, but since it was so much cheaper to ship from the United States, Herbert Hoover maintained that 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 farmers wheat. Mr. Hoover took jio active part whatever in the deliberations of this committee and on August 30, 1917, President Wilson isssued 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. Hoover at his express requests 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 1918 crop was fixed by an aet of Congress and so far as the records show,, Utahs Democratic representation in the Congress voted for the 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 transsaction was to insist that a good price should be given to the American farmer. Mr. Colton discussed, also, the tariff and pointed out that inasmuch as the Democratic platform declares for a tariff that will permit effective competition and the Republican platform declares for a continuance of the protective tarrlff as fundimental and essential principal of the economic life of this nation, that it was bound to be an issue during the campaign and could not be side stepped by the Democratic Party in this state. Congressman Colton made an urgent appeal for the election of the entire State and National Republican ticket. TO BE (MED National Apple Week has become an annual institution due to the importance of the apple industry throughout the United States. In 1928 apple week will extend from Wednesday, October 31st, to Tuesday, November 6th, inclusive. In realization of its importance the Union Pacific System lines will feature apple dishes in all dinning cars and company cafes during the period specified and it is understood that similar action will be taken by restaurants and hotels throughout the country. Apples will also be particularly featured by clubs, stores and others concerned in marketing and distribut-io- n. IfTS BE FAIR! Editor Courier: When business men and private individuals will stand in public places and make accusations against a candidate for the exalted position of president of this great nation, they should at least be able to prove their assertions by facts. An individual was heard to say that if Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York was elected President, we would Now, such get saloons back again. a statement is the result of either gross ignorance or a wilful attempt to falsify, and injure the good name of a great man. Governor Smith, in all his public utterances on the question of Prohibition has said that he will enforce the Eighteenth Amendment as long as it remains a part of the Constitution Every school child knows that the President must obey the Constitution, and that it will take the action of the of the States, people of and a majority of Congress of both houses to change the present status of the Constitution. It took eight years or more, to get the amendment, would it not take as long to repeal it? In fact there is good reason to assert that it never will be repealed. Why use such silly, misleading statements against one of the greatest statesmen A1 Smith" is the the of the day? friend of the farmer, the laboring man, and the common people. Where-eve- r he goes, wherever he is heard, his wonderful personality wins his hearers by the thousands, and in him they see the man, who, if placed at the head of this government; will save it from the combinations of wealth, which are gradually bank' rupting the farmer,' who is the of the nation. Stop villifying misrepresenting the greatest statesman of the day; let's have a change, and give the masses a chance to rise out of bondage, and put the classes out of power.
