ADVOCATE AND GUIDE. 17 



The higher the price the greater that return stream and the 

 greater degree of prosperity. 



Of course, it flows into the wheat producers' pocket 

 first, but it don't stay there long. He pours it out with a 

 prodigal hand for his needs, which are unlimited. The 

 merchants get theirs at once for long-wanted supplies. The 

 doctor, dentist, lawyer, printer, teacher, carpenter, painter, 

 and other professionals soon get theirs for the postponed 

 services until they had the price. Towns and villages soon 

 feel this increased life-giving energy pulsating through their 

 commercial veins. They take on new life that is reflected 

 in many improvements. Heavier orders begin to flow back 

 to the cities for greater supplies of all things needed, and 

 herein is where the manufacturers and union labor in cities 

 get their reward. 



Everybody will be satisfied and hurrah for the wheat 

 growers' union. 



Uniform Price Over Same Territory. 



Under present methods of pricing wheat by independent 

 local buyers there is no uniform price. One buyer, if he 

 has a monopoly of a certain territory, or several buyers will 

 combine to control the price in a given territory and set the 

 price from ten to twenty-five cents a bushel lower than is 

 being paid hundreds of miles farther from market for the 

 same grade of wheat. Often in towns only ten miles apart 

 there will be a difference of five to fifteen cents in prices. 

 The wheat grower sometimes hauls his wheat past one or 

 more stations to get to the better market, causing needless 

 time and labor. It is also unfair to the towns that lose part 

 of the wheat growers' patronage by that practice of its 

 wheat buyers. Through the control of prices by the wheat 

 growers' union there would be uniform prices established in 

 the same territory. Wouldn't that be more satisfactory?
