BARL01V REALTY & INSURANCE COMPANY LAYTON REALTOR Mitchell Sanders Ogden SAFEWAY ADVISES PROTECTION FOR UTAH'S DAIRY FARMERS It is Safeways policy (published and in evidence to the com- mittee) to pay dairy farmers top market prices for milk, plus quality bonuses. This policy has never been violated. However, Safeways policy protects only the dairy fanners selling to Safeway. Other milk bottlers and retailers may not or may not keep to it as strictly as have the same policy Safeway does. 378 North Main, Layton Phone Kays. 755 or 325-- J 0210-J- 4 99 3-33- 28 Neville 259 That's why It Is also Safeway's policy (published and In evidence) to work for laws or regulations to protect the price all dairy farmers get for their milk. ARE THERE ANY SUCH LAWS OR REGULATIONS AT PRESENT? There is one on the books in Utah right now. It is Utahs Milk and Cream Marketing Act. This law is patterned after a California law which has been held constitutional. It provides the power to set minimums on the prices paid dairy farmers for milk and makes payments below the minimums illegaL If invoked this law would give Utahs dairy farmers the protection they need. Other ways to protect Utahs dairy farmers also are available. A Federal Milk Marketing Order is one. 58 federal orders and agreements are now in effect and 10 more are being considered by the Secretary of Agriculture. These federal orders and agreements also set minimums below which prices paid dairy farmers may not go. Today over half of the fluid milk consumed in the United States is marketed under milk price stabilization programs which protect producer prices only, leaving free and fair competition so prevail at consumer levels. This includes the 58 federal order markets and 5 state pricing programs. COULD ANY MILK LAW COST YOU MONEY? Testimony was also given the committee to show that refail price of milk has been "fixed by law, it has the where in order to protect inefficient, inevitably been set too high middlemen. marginal Mr. Sverre M. Omdahl, Director of the Department of Agriculture of the State of Washington, (himself a dairy farmer) gave the producer must receive a fair price similar testimony: or he will shortly be forced out of business but, by the same token, I have always objected to the states setting a price (retail price) which would tend to favor inefficiency. If the price you pay for milk Is "fixed" it could prevent YES! "... Safeway and other efficient retailers from passing the savings of their efficiency on to you. For example: At Safeway you buy milk in paper cartons, cash for it, and carry it home yourself. Safeway saves money pay by not handling empty bottles on their return . . . not making hundreds of expensive home deliveries . . . not keeping credit accounts and having no credit losses. You are entitled to these savings you help earn them. And you get them from Safeway and other retailers only so long as they are free to compete for your business. Such competition wifi mean that you can buy more milk . And Utah dairy farmers will sell more milk. SAFEWA Y works daily with and for thousands of Utahns j' 885 Safeway tfisb employees received $3,541,876.37 m wages aad salaries hi 1954. 171 Utahns own 16,863 shares of stock ia Safeway Stores. Safeway purchased the foSowrag Utah products ia 1954. DO SUCH LAWS WORK? Mr. Stuart Russell, who represents some 30 milk producer cooperatives throughout the United States, testified: "I do not know of any major price war that has occurred in any of the areas where federal milk marketing orders and agreements are in full force and effect. Nor do I know of any in states which have effective state milk control commission laws that control prices at the producer leveL Mr. Russell also explained why these laws work: "The reason is very simple: If distributors cannot pass the cost of the price war back to the producers, they will not wage a prolonged retail price war. No testimony to the contrary was presented to the committee. WOULD ENFORCING PRODUCER PROTECTION COST YOU MONEY? The committee heard experienced testimony that federal marketing laws do not increase the price you pay for tTMlk in fact, the Milk Study Committee itself found that cost is so minimal as not to affect the price of milk on "... such level. The federal order does not set resale prices and the retail the evidence indicates it does not materially affect said prices. A state law could be just as inexpensive. NO! WHY SAFEWAY fS PUBLISHING THIS STATEMENT Safeway was bom in neighboring Idaho. We have a big stake in Utah and a citizen's concern for Utah's We believe we have a responsibility to the public, our employees, suppliers, and stockholders to publish the record of ow testimony to the Milk Study Committee.
