Already two dehydrating plants

the other is at Gilroy. They are
exclusively, and these evapoj-f ted fruits are being used in tb mar
keting of the products of thjdl plant of -'this company at The Dalles
and the one at Salem. It b fcjgood thing for this Salem company in
two ways; in the royalty money and in making the marketing of the
other evaporated products efcjMer and cheaper and in still a third
wayt that is in reducing the overhead, on account both of added vol
ume and the easier sale of thpjwhole product, in a eompleter "line."
The present outlook is that mi ny more dehydrating plants for apri
cots and peaches will go up in California and they will all use the
Salem patents, because these je ver the only processes under which
dehydrating has ever been done ; n a large way for the general market
When once established theke plants will stay, and grow j and they

There is a movement from the
eastern farms to the 'cities, leaving
the 'farms unoccupied. , Such a
movement presents one of the hard

been called upon to solve. How are.
we to avoid forced labor and still

WHO HAS A liETTER?
Editor Statesman
There ha3 been a lot of boosting
of Polk county by one of our dally
papers of Salem, as a great cherry
producing locality. We agree with
them, but; I wish to submit-a few
facts concerning my orchard in Mar
ion county. ; I have just gathered
off of less than six acres 22 2-3 tons
cf Royal Ann cherries.
The real test of an orchard rs not
a hat Jt bears 'In one year, but the
record It keeps up, year after year.
For the past six years the record of
the orchard has been as follows:.
1918, 7 tons; 1917. 4 tons, (dam
aged by frost; 1918, 10 tons; 1919.
7 tens; .1920. 22 2-3 tons. -
Please bear, in mind that these
tteea (four acres of them) were
grafted 11 years ago, the balance
three years fater. If Polk county
has an orchard of equal age that
has a bettr record, we would like
to hear front the owner.

In whafc democracy really means.
The people know that in America
it has been a marvelous buccess, and
they are studying the reasons why.
Our libraries show this. Patrons
who before the war were content al
ways to take out novels today call
tor books which tell them about Am
erican ideals, the American spirit
and national self-government. A re
cent bulletin issued' by the Los An
geles public library proves this. Tbe
library has added to ita store a num
ber of volumes which it groups un
der such headings , as , "American
Heritage," "What, is Democracy?"
American City Government' and
"The Spirit of America." There is
a call for these works. The people
have ' awakened "to the' fact that, as
Senator Lodge hag said, democracy
has proved more helpful, more bene
ficial to the . human race than any
otbar political system yet devised by
man. And they "want to know why.
They have seen .America grow under
this- system until she has been de
scribed by an English ioet, Alfred
Noyes, asr - .

tongue.

Till even in numbers old Europe
shall wane."
The library bulletin publishes that
extract on its front page and lists
it as a description in little of Am
erica, her heritage, her purpose, her
task and her spirit. It is not. per
haps, qnite that, but It is a stirring
testimony to the success of demo
cracy.
TOO MUCH GOLD.
. The government price of gold is
I20.'67 a fine ounce. But represen
tatives of gold mining companies are
complaining to congress that at
present prices of labor and material
it is costing them a'oout $30 an
ounce to mine the metal. They
therefore "modestly ask that an ex
else tax of $10 an ounce be imposed
on all gold taken for use in the arts
and that the proceeds of This tax
be turned over to them as a subsidy
otherwise the mines may have to
shut down entirely as they are now

Beem able to keep their paws off of
one another. The Illinois board cf I
publ'.c utiltt4fs authorized an In
crease In the rate of street car farei
in Chicago.
The advance was allowed on the
showing that the car company was
beaded for bankruptcy.
But the mayor did a grandstand
stunt and insisted that tbe Increase
wasn't necessary. He declared that
the only relief in sight was to tlean
out the entire state administration
that was behind the board of utili
ties. Nothing but a clean sweep
would do. Governor Lowden did not
expect to be. again a candidate for
executive of his state, but the Chi
cago attitude aroused the. slumber
ing lion in him and It Is cow appar
ent that the governor and all the
present state officers will put the
rhatter up to the people and stand
