L Tn make farm like attractive is erood for &alem.
. The mnro lmv and eirln who stav on the farms the faster Salem!
will grow.
. Salem will grow just as fast as slie can have orchard ami garden
and farm and livestock products to manufacture and ship.
. Marion county has begun the construction of .t350,(XX) worth of
pa Ted roads.
Polk county has a'paved road program that is comprehensive.
These roads will go a long way towards extending the Salem city
limits far into the country.
It is the writer's guess that Salem, has some 18,000 people; per
haps f few less; may be 20,000.
But there are 100,000 people within the patronizing territory of
Salem.
There should be a million, and then some.
Paved roads, telephones, free fural delivery, automobiles and
auto trucks will help to extend Salem's city limits, speaking from a
trade standpoint, to 100,000 people, and eventually to a million
people, and more. .
But there is one other thing needful.
. Many things that will naturally follow.
' . But one fundamental thing.
Thai thing is electric light and power.
" Electricity is the only thing in the world that is growing cheaper
and will continue to grow cheaper. v
So says Edison. He knows.
There is power to transmit electricity in every gust of wind ;
everyrain drop ; .every streamlet that flows; every atom of decom
posed vegetation. -
In time, all power, all artificial light, all heat for buildings, will
- be from electricity.
So The Statesman, to help build up Salem, proposes to enter upon
I a long, 'persistent campaign for the extension of electric transmission
i to every farm home in Marion and Polk counties, and parts of Linn,
l amhill and Clackamas that are in Salem s territory.
Of which more later. ,

! .Bosc 'i pears topped the market for Hood River pears the past
season,! according to a report of the Hood River Apple Growers' As
, sociation just out. The Bosc pears from the Hood River district sold
at 1104 to $4.27 a 1kx. Very good. Butjhe Bosc pears from tlie
Salem district sold in the New York market the past season at $6.85;
they topped that market, as was "told in the Salem Slogan pages of
The .Statesman a few weeks ago. The grower s of the Salem district
ean beat the entire world on Bosc pears. And they should grow 500
bushels of them for every bushel now grown.
Duroc Day m Salens will-be Wednesday, February 4. On that
day, at the state fair grounds, .will be assembled mony of the most
prominent stock breeders from all over the Pacific Northwest. In
the forenoon there will be a show of Duroc Jersey brood sows, am
prjes will be awarded. In the afternoon, the entire list of prize
winners win he sold at auction. This show and sale will "start some
.-thing" in Salem that will without doubt result in great 1enefit to
this city and section, to Oregon, and all the Pacific Northwest. Too
much stress cannot be put upon fine stock raising in this territory
and the Duroc Jersey breeders are showing the wav; at least one way,
' The essential difference between an American and a Red is that
the American would clean, it up and the Red would blow it up.
N The cootie politician's interpretation of Americanism is something
that will get votes. ;

The Democrats condemned the Re
publican majority for failure to pass
a budget bill and p-ut a plank about
it in their 1912 platform.
Three -successive Democratic con
gresbes discussed budget bills but
the influence of the "deserving Dem
ocrats" was aim ays strong enough to
block action.
The present congress, however.
has taken up the question in a dif
ferent spirit. Appalled by the enor
mous expenditures of the present
administration, the Republican mem
bers have turned to the budget as
the last reurt to cu:b the voracious
appetites of the office holders.
A budget bill has already passed
the house of representatives, and a
similar bill has passed second read
ing in the senate. The two bills are
not to (haj-mony, Vhowever, and a
conciliation committee will be nec
essary to secure the neceasary com-
promlses.

seems to come nearer to satisfying
the public demand than the one
passed by the lower house. Unde"
