MUST HAVE PRE-COOLING PLANT; SUGGESTIONS WANTED ( Salem must have a pre-cooling plant, ' It would be a "crime" to go on without one. Enough cherries went to waste this season to pay the entire cost immedutely ln reduced taxation early Abolitionists; but it is tem pered by a tolerance for the opinions of others that removes from it all semblance of fanaticism. With him Rrty honesty is party expediency. He believes that much of the ex travagance and waste In private life In this country is due to the' examples of waste and thriftlessness set by the federal government; and he says "The most obvious place to begin retrenchment Is by eliminating the extravagance of the government it self. .. This should show of such a plant, 150 by 300 feet, and three stores high, which it is said can now be constructed for $200,000. Enough vegetables in the Lake Labish district alone were lost by freezing last winter to pay the entire cost of such a plant. A pre-cooling plant will take care of our surplus fruits of all He 1 enough of an economist to know that the present excess-profits taxes, although levied against the manufacturer, are finally paid by those who buy for service the pro- kinds, so that they may be fed to the market whenever and wherever LcU manaflictared. and he says: mere is a ucwaiiu..

He does not recede from the advanced position which he took when he declared: '"There is no right to strike against the pub lic safety by anybody, anywhere, at any time He now adds: "There must be a different public attitude toward industry, a larger compre hension of the Interdependence of capital, management and labor and better facilities for the reasonable fund to pay the first cost, too.

It would be just like Cox to say nothing about the pro-German editorials of his pa per, the Dayton News, in 1916 ton account of the lack of jspaee.

But that 'may be consoling or it may not, ac cording to the. way one looks at it, The Turkish government having signed the peace treaty with the allies, the next thing will be to see that It, Is carried . out.

' . : ' Governor Cox says the Irish ques tion is one of geography. General Hancock said something to the same effect about the tariff in 1880 and we all know what became of him. PERHAPS THKY WILL. The southern California lemon growers, who are racing aisasier on account of Italian competition, will be interested In the tariff-for-reve- r.ue-only plank in the San Francisco platform. Possibly they will vote according to their interests, which in this instance means for the Re publican candidates who are pledged to a protective policy. Los Angeles Times. Possibly they will. That is. possibly even the Demo crats among the lemon growers of California will. They ought to be free from the sectional prejudices that reach back to the bitter days of contentions over states' rights es pecially affecting the rights of slave holders. They should regard the war as ever that war. But there are many thousands of Democratic voters in the southern state who are still voting for An drew. Jackson, and they will vote the ticket of the party that declares for' the "time-honored principle of a tariff, for revenue only" even though they know the need of pro tection for their products,' and are well aware of the fact that the only way they can be assured of this pro tection Is through a sweeping Re publican victory, patting Republicans on guard it, every department at Washington, and In every . custom house in tbo United States. And even though they know a tariff for revenue only is merely camouflage; a play on words; it produces no revenue. wooks, restoring commerce. Indus try and social life and normal con ditions generally with much more celerity than ourselves. But, then. of course, Belgium does not waste countless millions on nijltltudlnous elections, petitions and referendum. Her people are -devoting their time. money and energy to productive la- tor, recon it ruction and the restor ation of commerce. Not for noth ing have the Belgians a reputation for being-one of the thriftiest and most industrious nations. that The Russian soviet government has turned out more bosses than any ether half-dozen governmental con cerns on earth. And they are sup posed to be "opposed to bosses, too. Our military expenses next year, It (J Is estimated, will exceed Ger many's greatest expenditures before the war.

The laws behind and the operation of the institution are of even greater weight. - The operation, of this institu- " 1 ' tion has always had the name of beinc conservative ly-progressive, a most prac--- : tical combination in banking. He deprecates the attempts of cer tain Individuals and organizations to create n class consciousness in Am erica. In this relation he says: "There are no classes here. - The government must look at 'the part in the light of the whole, so that legislation must be directed not for private Interest,' but for public wel fare." This Is his answer to those who would 'seek' to replace represen tative government by class govern mem as advocated by the propon ents of sovletism. He warns against the encroach ments of the government on the property rights of individuals, say ing that "The property or the nation Is in the hands of the people when it is under their ownership and con trol. But it matters not whether property be taken by seizure or through the process of taxation for extravagant and unnecessary expen ditures; there should be an end to both operations." There Is' a final warning to the people of the country to beware of permitting the government to pass out of their Immediate control. Either the people must own the gov ernment," he says, "or the govern ment will own the people." PJainly, a man with the convic tions of Governor Coolidge will not be content 1o remain a mere figure head in the senate.

XQ LUCK IX SHAMROCK. Sir Thomas Upton doesn't have much luck In raising his Shamrocks. If he . must have a cup challenger why doesn't he call It the Brian Porn or Pansy or Fido or some thing? John McCormack sentimen tally warbles that, nowhere else on God's green earth will the shamrock thrive save on Irish soil. What's the fiiea In trying to capture Ameri can waters wiftt smcjbmglhat only finds its splendo in- Erin's land? The Americans -would - be really pleased if Sir Thomas could take hla lackfknlfe and whittle out a boat that would' wln that venerable monstrosity In silverware . they call America's cup. But he better chris ten his craft something besides Shamrock. Give the daisies or mer maids a chaneekThes Shamrock seems to be the real rock on which nis nopea rounder rather 'than are tounded. They are pulling flax. ' "b City Recorder Race sent out to f flax fields last week about SO men. He sent 17 yesterday. . and . will send about the same number today. Let the good work go on. for about two weeks longer. H Great Britain is to loan Germany about I3it.uoo.000 to help that coun try mine coal. m S S Lloyd George tells bis people that Germany cannot pay in gold or goods but sne can pay in coal, which Is as good as gold, and it Is cheaper to loan her money to enable her to pay the coal than it is to send a stand ing army. m He might have added, what he thinks, that It is better, too. looking to world peace and tranquility. Salem is a Vreat fruit and vegeta ble center. She will be a greater. from year to year, if she will provide absolute insurance against losa or waste. That cannot be done without pre-cooling plant. It can be with one. The sheep slogan In The Statesman of Thursday will be Interesting and profitable.

Political office Is certainly a labor of love In Belgium. By 133 votea to 1? (with 13 abstentions') the Bel gtan chamber has voted to raise the legislators' salaries from 1400 year to $1200. But they are very apologetic about It and explain that the high cost of living has made the rise absolutely essential. By which it will be seen that Belgian deputies must be brilliant economists or else have private fortunes, for the cost of living is almost as high in Bel gium aa in the United States. But they have -cot . acquired the luxury epidemic in Belgium yet, or the fash Jon craze. Until six years ago English mem bers of parliament served without pay and when a. salary of S2000 year waa then voted it only carried by a small majority and numerous well-to-do members turned their sal aries over to charity. vnited States representatives of the people are the highest paid of any country, but as to whether high salaries attract better class intellects Is still open to doubt. Our conduct of affairs, both Internal and foreign does not necessarly compare so very favorably with those of other coun tries. Nor do we seem to be able to mobilise financial and business geniuses for that brilliantly efficient management which abhors waste and sees to It that every dollar per forms Its utmost duty.
