FEDERAL BOARD
URGES IMPROVED
MARKET PROCESS
Declares Movement of Food
Must Be' Made Direct From
Field to Consumer to
Reduce H. C. L
Washington, April 14. Declaring
that the costs of food distribution
are too great, the federal trade
commission today recommended im
proved marketing facilities and pro
cesses at the great consuming cen
ters as a long step towards lowering
the high cost of living. .
"The movement of food should
ba made most direct from field to
Wctory," the commission declared
in a report on wholesale marketing
t food, one of the series in the
food price investigation ordered by
the president.
The report asserts that the rapid
rise in food prices in recent years
is not so ' significance as "that the
money incomes of large numbers
have fallen far short of a propor
tional increase."
"The weekly wage of union or
ganized labor in 918 bought hut
77 per cent (according to the De
partment of Labor), as much, food
as m 1913. The laree number of
service incomes do not fall; within
this organized group and are much
slower to respond to the pressure
of a Vigher cost oi living.
"Moreover, these incomes are for
the same reason usually less in
hrge numbers of) people receiving
lelatively small incomes, a week's
wage in 1918 was purchasing much
less than 77 per cent of the food it
bought in 1913.
"Food absorbs 33.2 per' cent of
the average American household's
incorqe. It, therefore, constitutes
no inconsiderable part of the wage
and salary cost in all , production.
Of two communities whose products
enter the same markets otherwise
equally, that one which supplies its
working people with food at a low
er community cost either will pay
its working people a higher real
wage or will have a marked ad
vantage in .underselling the ' other,
through lower production costs.
Both results may in some measure
toiiow.
. "A wise governmental policy
toward the food industries may
lower production and distribution
costs, together with the hnal sales
price without proportionately in
creasing governmental costs, thus
t educing the national cost of food."

Free Beer Platform
Carries Candidate to
Win at Montmartre
Paris, April 14.-pMontmartre, the
light-hearted, is rejoicing in the pos
session of a separate government,
having repudiated all allegiance to
all other administrations in France.
The "free commune of Montmartre"
as it calls itself, will continue how
ever, to pay taxes to France, being
willing to meet even the higher
rates to be voted soon by Parlia
ment. Invoking the principle of "self
determination of free peoples,"
Montmartre held an election on
Sunday, as a result of which Jules
De Paquit, a cartoonist of local
renown, was elected mayor. He re
ceived an overwhelming majority
of the votes cast by the painters,
sculptors and poets who form the
predominant part of the population.
His platform was termed "highly
idealistic" and it certainly had the
merit of brevity, being simply:
"Free beer." There was only one
prohibition vote cast in the election
and a hurried search was made for
the man said to have deposited that

a'ph A. Clark for Governor
To Nebraska
Democrats:
Because we are concerned in a Demo
cratic victory in the state next fall, and
in the future of the party, we address you
in behalf of Ralph A. Clark, a candidate
in the primaries, April 20, fpr.the nomina
tion for Governor.
We ask you to read and carefully con
sider Mr. Clark's statement, which ap
pears in an adjoining column. It reveals
a situation that demands the attention of
all Democrats who, as Mr. Clark says,
"love their party and are jealous of its
honor."
We whose names are signed to this
statement know Ralph A. Clark as a man
of honor and courage and of sound democ
racy. He is a broad-minded and liberal
minded man. By education, by experi
ence, by knowledge of the needs and inter
ests of the state, he is superbly qualified
to be its Governor. He would be a real
Governor; a real leader. He would never
say yes when he means no, or no when he
means yes. His word is 100 per cent good,
always; and his judgment is as good as his
word. t
If you will help us at the primaries, by
your vote and active influence, to nomi
nate Mr. Clark for Governor, the Demo
cratic party will enter the state campaign
assured of victory under a leader of whom
it can be proud and in whom it can repose
implicit confidence.

Ralph A. Clark, candidate for the
v democratic nomination for governor,
Friday made the .following self-explanatory
statement with respect to
his candidacy:
"Some surprise lias been expressed
to me by democrats because two can
didates for governor, namely, Mr.
Morehead and myself, are in the pri
mary contest from Richardson
county. This condition is peculiar
and calls for an explanation.
So Thought of It at First '
"While I had cherished the am
bition to be governor of my state
some day, it was not my intention to
be a candidate this year, because my
Richardson county fellow-citizen, Mr.
Morehead, was regarded as a candi
date for governor by myself and by
many friends of his throughout Ne
braska. So long as Mr. . Morehead
had any intention of being a candi
date, I was for him and had no
thought of entering the race myself.
"For several months Mr. Morehead
had been urged by his friends to run
and petitions were filed, and it was
generally understood and believed
that he would be a candidate. Sud-
' denly, on the day before the filings
for primary nominations closed, Mr,
Morehead positively declined in writ-
ing to be a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for governor.
In Fight to the End.
' "In this connection I deem it but
fair to the loyal democrats of Ne
braska to make a further frank
statement. Arthur J.' Weaver of
Falls City, a close personal and busi
ness friend of Mr.' Morehead, had
been talked of as a prominent pros
pect for the republican nomination
for governor. Mr. Weaver's friends
proposed the elimination process by
which all the republican candidates
were asked to decline and leave the
field on the republican side to Mr.
Weaver and Governor McKelvle.
"Mr. Morehead declined to be a
candidate for governor in the demo
cratic primary on the very day that
the press brought the news of Mr.
- Weaver's probable success in elim
inating the other republican candi
dates aside from Governor McKelvie.
But the other republican candidates
finally refused to be eliminated and
Mt. Weaver thereupon withdrew bis
intention to be a candidate for gov
ernor in the republican primary. To
my surprise, Mr. Morehead changed
his mind Immediately' after Arthur
Weaver had withdrawn and made
his belated filing as a candidate for
the democratic nomination.
"I am now In the fight to the end
and ask the support of all fair
minded democrats who love their
party and are jealous of its honor."
