State lime plant in Oregon proves costly folly
Oregon backed a state lime plant to supply farmers at cost, grinding lime at Gold Hill for 1.75 a ton. Farmers showed no demand, the plant may shut down after costing taxpayers 30,000 to promote, convicts labor used, and a proposed 80,000 request for the next session with 16,800 salary for two years. The piece calls the program a folly of state socialism and argues there is no special need to supply lime at cost.
