Japan Offers Indictments for Purchasing Automobiles Japan has offered every purchaser of an automobile or truck in the em pire $500 toward the purchase price, and $150 yearly to help pay for the maintainance of the vehcile. in ex change for the privilege of speedly commandeering motors when the oc casion demands, according to ad vices received by the foreign sales department of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company. This subsidy is intended by the im perial government not only for the quick requisitioning of cars, but also to promote their use and to event ually encourage their manufacture with in the empiie. This aggressive action by Japan has still another im portant function. Horses are scarce in Nippon and most of the trucking is by men who pull two-wheeled carts most of the passenger triffic on the streets and highways is by means or jinrikishas. Labor is in strong demand and a more general use or motor vehicles would release thous ands or men for work in factories. - Japan's action will add impetus to the export of American made cars and tires, say Goodrich officials. It will be several years before Japan will be able to produce anywhere near her own consumption of moto vehicles and accessories. But thre concerns in Japan are now buildln automobiles. One of these has mad about a half a dozen cars and a other Is assembling from parts Im ported from America. Two large Japanese shipbuilding companies are erecting automobile factories- FRANCHISE (Continued from page 1) tion is brought In Polk county for the reason that the franchise covers lK)th Benton and Polk counties.

The constitutionality of the boom franchise law is disputed on grounds that it deprives the plain tiff of his property without due pro cess of law. and allegation is made that the Spaulding company is not a corporation within the meaning of the act.

Rogers, director of the Bu reau of the Census. U. S. Department of Commerce, will soon Issue Bul letin 13C, on the American Tobacco Industry. The bulletin contains data regarding the production, consump tion, and stocks of tobacco In the United States, the prices obtained for the staple by the growers, the quan tities of the several products man ufactured therefrom, the revenue on tobacco collected by the government, and the Imports and exports of man ufactured and unmanufactured to bacco. The purpose of the report has been to assemble In one publication the statistics for the various phases or the Industry and to present them In convenient form for ready refer ence. The Amount of leaf tobacco shown by the report as In the hands of the manufacturers and dealers on Jan uary 1. 1911. was 1,176.234.657 pounds as against 1.044.8S5.108 pounds held on January 1, 3 917, the Increase being equal to 12.6 per cent. Of the total for 1918. chewing, smok ing, snuff, and, export types formed 76 per cent; cigar types. 19 per cent; and Imported types. & per cent The! leading Individual type was that pro duced In the "Bright yellow district of Virginia. North Carolina, and South Carolina, or which there was reported 428.913.604 pounds, or 36.5 per cent of the total. Burley tobacco contributed 117.206.800 pounds, or 15.1 per cent; and the tobacco classed as "Dark fired as grown In Clarks ville, Hopkinsvllle. and Paducah dis tricts' amounted to 117.118.386 pounds, or 10 per cent. According to estimates made, by the department of agriculture, the total tobacco crop of the United States In 1917 was 1.196.451.000 pounds. The leading tobacco slates and the estimtaed amounts grown by them are as follows: Kentucky. 426.600.000 pounds; North Carolina. 204.750.000 pounds; Virginia. 129. 500.000 pounds; Ohio. 99.072.000 pounds; Tennessee. 81,810.000 pounds: Pennsylvania. 58.100.000 pounds; South Carolina, 51.120.000 pounds; Wisconsin. 45,885.000 pounds; Connecticut. 29,540.000; and Maryland. 22,594.000 pounds. The acreage estimated for these states ranged from 474.000 for Ken tucky to 21.000 for Connecticut, and the production per acre, from 1400 pounds tor Connecticut and Pennsyl vania to 630 pounds for North Caro lina. The higher yields are obtained, as a nlle. In the localities producing the high-priced types used In the mannfacture ot cigars. During the past three-quarters of a century the growth In tobacco pro duction la the United States has not quite kept pace with that In popu lation; the estimated tobacco crop of 19 ir being about five and a half times as great as the crop ot 1839, as ascertained at the census ot 1840, the earliest at which statistics of to bacco production were obtained, whereas the estimated population of the country for 1917 was slightly more than six times as great as the population shown by the census of 1840. Virginia was the greatest tobacco growing state prior to the Civil War. but since that period Kentucky has led In this respect. Although at the last census the production ot tobacco was reported for 1568 counties In 45 states, nearly one-fourth of the crop (23.5 per cent) was grown In the fol lowing 14 counties, each ot which reported more than 10,000.000 pounds: Lancaster, Pa.; Hartford. Conn.; Pittsylvania, Vs.; Dane. Wis.; Halifax. Va.; Darke. Ohio; Daviess. Ky.; Montgomery, Ohio; Robertson. Tenn.; Christian, Ky.; Graves. Ky.; Montgomery, Tenn.; Pitt, N. C; and Henderson. Ky. The total world's average produc tion of tobacco during the period Im mediately preceding the war Is esti mated at 4.197,000,000 pounds an nually.. Of this. Continental United States '.produced approximately 1. 000.000.000 pounds; British India, 1.000.000.000 pounds; China. 500. 000.000 pounds: European Russia, 230,000.000 pounds; Dutch East In dies. 200.000.000 pounds; Austria 100.000.000 pounds; i and Brazil. 100.000.000 pounds. The total for Hungary. 170.000,000 pounds; Jap an. 120,000.000 pounds; Philippines, these countries amounts to 3.420. 000.000 pounds, or 81 per cent of the total for the world. According to data compiled by the bureau of crop estimates of the de partment of agriculture, the average farm price of tobacco throughout the United States on December 1. 1917. was 24.9 cents a pound, or more than twice the corresponding average for the 10 years 1908 to 1917. Inclusive, which was 12.1 cents. During the period In question the lowest figure was that for December 1, 1915, 9.1 cents; but by December 1 ot the fol lowing year the average price had In creased to 14.7 cents, and 12 months later It had leaped to 24.9 cents. Imports of tobacco and Its products into the United States during 1917 aggregated 840,811.539 In value, an amount about one-seventh as great as the estimated value ot the American- tobacco crop; and the exports of do mestic tobacco and Its products dur ing tbe same year represented a total value ot 862.017.037. According to the latest annual re port of the commissioner of Internal revenue, there were manufactured during the year 1916. In 'factories under the Jurisdiction of that of ficial. 7. 93:. C10. 151 cigars. 25.312. 486.611 cigarettes, and 466.165.723 pounds of chewing and smoking to bacco and snuff. In Addition. 87, 654.149 cigars and 4.594.662.940 cigarettes were made In bonded man ufacturing warehouses, operated un der the Jurisdiction of the Customs Service. On the basis of revenue-stamp sales the numbers of cigars and cigarettes manufactured during 1917 In regis tered factories under the Jurisdiction ot the commissioner of Internal-revenue are estimated at 9.050.960.224 andv34.832.385.767. respectively. The Increase In the production of cigar ettes In registered factories during recent years Is a striking one. amounting to no less than 250 per cent for the six-year period 1911 1917; and when the production In bonded manufacturing warehouses In 1917. for which no data are yet available, is taken Into account. It Is probable that the total will reach, or closely approximate 40.000.000,000. The exports ot cigarettes during 1917 totaled 7.023.626.000. The Imports from foreign countries and ship ments from the Philippines were rel atively very small, amounting to only 37,922 pounds or about 10,000.000 or 1 2.0 00, QJi cigarettes, during 1917. The net production. In one year, of cigarettes available for American consumption was thus not far from 33 billions. Even this en ormous number, however, does not include cigarettes rolled by the smok er from loose tobacco, concerning which no data are available. During the fiscal year ended June 10. 1917. the internal revenue col lected on manufactured tobacco and its products amounted to $1037201, 532. OWN A CREAM SEPARATOR. The man who puts off the pur chase ot a cream separator because he think he can't afford it, or for any other reason, is making a seri ous mistake, because the machine will pay for Itself the first year from Its own saving, and all-that It saves for the owner after the first year is clear gain. De Laval Monthly. EARLY LIFE RENEWED AT HOME-COMING (Continued from page 1) ened with a solo by Mrs. Hallie Par rish Durdall. who rendered most beautifully tbe touching song "When Tou Come Home. responding to an encore with jthe popular patriotic number, "My America." Justice George H. Burnett presid ing over the meeting. Introduced for mer Governor T. T. Ceer as one of the best known men in the state, and Mr. Geer. in the course of his deml niscent address, demonstrated that he had made the acquaintance of a large share of Oregon's population. He stated that probably he had never addressed an audience In which he saw so many friends and acquaint ances. Born In the vicinity of Sa lem and spending a large part of his early life In the Waldo Hills, he still retains his boyhood attachment for this region, which he maintained Is one of the most beautiful west of the Rocky mountains. Here he had spent some of the happiest days of his life and made some of his clos est friends. He became a citizen of the village of Salem In tbe early six ties and spent the years of the Civil war here. As a boy of 14 he was a member of the Marlon Rifles and was more or less excitement during those stirring years. Incidentally, he pointed out Al Crossan In the crowd and went on to tell how he and Crossan worked together In the gro cery store of John D. Wright. Cieer Tell or Early Life. Mr. Geer went Into much of the early history of the Methodist church and cf Willamette university. In the audience he saw many of his fellow students in the Institution, most ot them looking much older than he. although he acknowledged that he had Just recently become a great-greatgrandfather at the age of 67. His looks endorsed the state ment that he was in perfect health, never having known a sick day In his life. In this connection he noted that the great majority of his audi ence were hale and hearty, although some of them were bent and white haired. 9 The speaker spoke half-Jestlngly of his services as chief executive of the state. In which period he formed som of his closest and most valued friendships and made a few oppon ents on the side. But he had only the most pleasant recollections of his political experiences, and of his lire in Salem. He expressed his sin cere pleasure In again renewing old acquaintances and noting the evi denes of development In the capital city. Following the address of Mr. Geer. Mrs. Lois Peebles Junk favored the audience with several of her own songs, rendered In a most chaming manner. Justice Burnett, explaining that George II. HImes. who had expected to address the, gathering, had found It Impossible to attend, read a lengthy letter from Mr. Himes In which he stated that while he was unable to be present In person he was here In the spirit. He recalled many Incl- 2 "1 Come On In -OENNI Boats and Baths Foot of Court Street Baths, with suit, 25c; without suit, 15c; Boats 15c per hour; Canoes 25c NOW OPEN dents In the early history of Salem and also many personal experiences In the days when he waa a green hand in the office of State Printer Henry L. Pittock and later in the of fice of the Oregonian. He was grate ul for tbe privilege of being counted a citizen of Salem about which werei some of the most pleasant associa tions o his life. Washington Justice Heard. Justice Burnett, espying in the crowd Supreme Judge Mark Fuller ton of Olympia. Wash., called upon two husky associates to seize him and bring him to the platform and compel him to make a speech. The distinguished visitor and former cit izen was escorted to tae stand and was introduced to the audience as a man who was once the pride of Sa lem and now the pride of Olympia. Justice Fullerton responded in a hap py vein, expressing bis gratification with the reception accorded him by his old friends. Justice Stephen F. Chadwick of Olympia, was also called for and ex tended greetings to his old friends. He recalled that in his early years In Salem he was a member of a hook and ladder company, and hinted that his training on the fire department had been of great assistance to him in his political career. Although long a resident of Washington, he had always retained his kindly feel ing for Oregon and had taken the precaution to have his grandson born in this state. . As there were no further speeches. Justice Burnett requested the crowd to talk to one another, and there fol lowed an hour or two of whole-souled sociability. In which many an old Joke and bit of Juvenile rascality was brought to memory. Name Are Gathered. judge Burnett and A. N.
