CENTRALIZING WORK AND POWER
There is growing Concern, both in nation and
state, over the centralization of authority and in-
creasing bureaucratic trends of government, and the
gradual taking away of service and of money from
the support of the counties, cities and the schools:
this at the expense of local business which will soon
l)e left with only the obligation to pay taxes but with
no business from which to pay.
Complaint has been made of this growing evil
practice, under the gui.se of economy but in reality
in the objective of taking away what few powers
the local atithorities may have; and now a long un-
comphfining business scattered in every county of
the state is m'£king an effort to check some of this
trend in the way of public printing, which is being
absorbed in the state printng office and furnished
the counties and other local districts.
Senator Reardon's Bill No. 181 wouhl, if 1)'Lsed,
confine the state-owned 1)hint to legislative printing
and that required by the executive deoartments and
tile SUln'eme court and ()tit of the ordinary COml)eti-
tire fields in supplying printing for all the new hu-
peallS, commissions and state institutions; and also
out of the supptyng of count , offices and deltart-
merits which should be supplied by the local printer
and tile money kept as near at home as possilfle.
0f course, only the printers are directly e()n-
cerned, but if the state carries on and in time auenll)t

It is unfortunate that the troubles come at the

Several other factors are involved; one. the plan
beinffworked 0ut,to interest capital and the Maritime
Commission in; getting a fleet of steamers to rev/ve
Seattle's 0riental trade, and another to bring back
the Alexanders to handle travel to and flora the San
Francisco Fair.

AAA Marketing Quotas for Wheat?
Growers May Get Chance to Decide
BY BPEClAL COIRESPONDENT
AHIN¢TON.--AAA e o n-
duets its own popularity poll
whenever it submits marketing
quotas for a vote.
This year the cotton growers
' voted to have them. The tobacco
and rice growers voted, against
having them.
A referendum on quotas for
wheat will ba held this year for
the first time, If estimates indi-
cate there will be another surplus
crop by the first of, July.
It is estimated that we need
720,000.000 bushels of wheat
wtfen this Year's crop Is har-
Vtsted to satisfy our needs for
exert and for domestic' con-
sumption, if it is reported that
the 1939 crop wtll not exceed this
estimate by more than 35 per
ceBt, marketing quotas will not
be submitted.
Some variance Is expected in
domestic consumption which may
range fxm 650,000,000 bushels to
700.000.000 bushels a year. Ex-
ports vary from 50,000,000
buslleJs to 100,000,000 bushels a
year.
ALL wheat growers subject to
r --.i. fi0tas, Would be allowed to
Tote'in s referendum and if ap-
r0ved by a two-thirds majority,
he iotaa would apply to any-
me wh0 redueed more than 100
ouheL of wheat. Excess pro-
duncan would be taxed at 15
€a per bushel
'It+'i, altogetbe¢ likely wheat
farmers Will aeeept the quotas,
-By ca operatlhg wlth sell con-
servatlon, they can get Ioan on
their wheat as it Is. 'The loans
,ha 8eraged fro 52 per cent
to 75 fie} cen't of' artty price, or
about 59 to 60 cents 'a bushel.
Farmers have seven months to
Pay Off the loan with per cent
in,,rest, after which they can
claim their wheat collateral,
If quotas are not voted with a
surplus crop in sight, the govern-
ment will no( make any wheat
loans in 1939 regardless of
whether the individual farmer Is
or is not co-operating with the
rest of the AAA program.
If quotas are voted, the In-
dividual farmer who may not
wish to keep within his market-
ing limit can.still get loans on
hL wheat if he, has more than be
can sell or use. Those who do
wield wheat from market in
c0mpllanee with quotas will e
able tO get a more generous loan
than those who do not. But loans
will be available to all, With the
price of wheat hovering around
60 cents and often dropptng be-
low the loan rate, the advantage
of continued loans will be a great
inducement.
AA oll]eiaJs are pleased to
think the loan program has
served as a graphic illustration to
farmers o the sins of overpro-
duction. They say that when a
farmer finds himself with 1000
bushels of wheat on hand at hat*
vest time. and can dispose of only
500 bushels of it, he begins to
rea/ize the error of his ways. lut
if.h seals the 500 bushels.excess,

On.ts wheat, and faces the ne-
cess'i of sacrificing his wheat or
paying off the loan at 4 per

Yei:he is even more impressed.
Flriidly When spring comes and
+:, he:has pald off his loan and has
the+.500,bushels of Wheat back on

soVi'is complete. It is timely, too,
