OUR GREAT AND GROWING SUGAR BILL
The scientists' tell us that out of every dollar which Ameri
cans spend for their food, 7 cents goes for sugar in some form
or other : ; ' T '
"' Furthermore, the proportion is on the increase.
The same experts assert that this 7 cents' worth of sugar
supplies 14 per cent of the total energy of fnel value of all the
foods consumed fin the country. - j i
V; v The peoplls of the United States buy. from foreign countries
morejhan half the sugar they consume; to be more exact, about
three-fifths. "V. T : ' :
They could produce all they consume; they could do this
without depending for a larger supply on. Hawaii, the Philip
pines and Porto Rico. They could do it without any extension
of manufacturing in the South from sugar eane that is, by
raising more sugar beets inf'the parts of continental United
States suitable to their production with sufficient sugar content
to make this industry practicable. v
The Willamette valley is one of, these sections. We have
in several of our counties produced sugar beets with 25 per cent
of sugar content ; and 12 per cent is high enough to make their
manufacture into sugar economically sound.
Certain interests are now looking to Salem as the proper
place for the first sugar beet factory in Oregon. This is beeause
of two things: First, our ability to grow the beets; second, our
ability to furnish the labor to plant, thin and .harvest them.
One of these is as important as the other. Both are necessary.
If there shall be no likelihood of the disturbance of the
tariff rates on sugar, after the results of the coming November
election are known, we will very likely get our sugar factory:
and before long thereafter Eugene, Albany, Corvallis, Ilillsborc
and other Willamette valley cities where the labor problem u
found to be right, will also "get sugar factories. i

It one may judge from the concensus of press opinion, the
personality of presidential candidates will be a greater factor
in the election this year than ever before. It is pointed out that
there is a remarkable similarity between the platforms of the
major parties, the Republican, first drawn at Cleveland, and the
Democratic, subsequently drawn at New York.
The tariff, formerly the distinguishing basic difference be-

The lives of Calvin Cool id ge and John'W. Davis touch
at not a single point. . j
f It is a far cry from Calvin Coolidge's rented house which
he occupied as Governor of Massachusetts,' to John W. Davis'
palace at Locust Valley, Long Island, the favored colony of
the upper-rich "Tew York. i '
There i' aching in common between John W. Davis and
the average American, for there is nothing average in the life
of the Democratic nominee. Bom with a (silver spoon in his
mouth, he has known luxury all his life. J He belongs to the
politico-economic v aristocracy, which some are pleased to call
" the ruling class." It was entirely natural that he should have
gravitated to, the? social stratum where the nomination found
him, counsellor of the world's money kingUnd member of the
money social cult. ! : i r
Calvin Coolidge came from and, from all the honor which
the presidency confers, is still of the plain people. A dozen

Mr. Lyon is giving ah outing to

ambition, puts ; new courage in
their hearts and Inspires them for
better things. f '!
During the vacation months ISO
boys and eight girls have been on
the farm under the teaching of
Mr." and Mrs. Lyon, which Js the
largest number for any one sea
son. Mr. Lyon Is very appreci
ative of the support received by
Lebanon citizens and others who
have contributed '. food, clothing

The members of the Elks lodge
of Lebanon have received the boys

occasions when the boys arrived,

mobile to the farm and return

be the heaviest single contributor

INTERIOR WATERWAYS
Some of the papers of the north
west are getting " excited because
the Florida Fruit company is con
templating sending its fruit up the
Mississippi river by boat. To our
eertain knowledge such things
have been appearing in ; public
print for 40 years. In the mean
time millions upon millions have
been squandered on the Missis
sippi river, and there is not a line
of boats now operating upon that
river. It is nothing to be scared
aboatt when such reports come
from Florida'. I m
Inland waterways are not golnp
to be revived. They can not com
pete with the railroads. We might
iust as well talk of recurring - tc
Dxen teams and discarding auto--nobiles.
It is mighty hard work
to keep our present harbors oper
tnd it is only export trade that
enables them to be open i at all
When the harbors received thieii
;reat reputation there were inc
tutomobiles, no trucks. -A ; j- -
There has been an industrial
revolution in the last 25 yean
md the waterways have lost out.
The interior ones are clear gone.
Every once in a while you hear
some plan of navigating the Wil
lamette river. In fact one com
pany became very indignant with
the Oregon Statesman because we
refused to boost for river navi
gation. We did not refuse until
we had investigated and found
that the steamer line would hot
receive business because it would
be unreliable. ; . .-; I pi
A good deal of money haa been
snent on the Columbia river east
of Portland and every penny was
wasted. ; There la not a port- of
any consequence going east on
this river as far as The " Dalies;
in fact there Is not one of conse
quence east of Portland." 'There is
a good deal of sentiment and a
good deal of talk about' Interior
transportation, iint it' is 'gone and
it can not come back. "
SIMPLIFYING GOVERNMENT
The state government of Oregon
costs too much. ' The expense can
be reduced. There are too many
boards,: too many commissions,
too many people employed, ? In
every administration there Is pres
sure to give places and the ten
dency is to relent and create new
jobs for deserving political friends.
It isn't fair and we must get
over this. We must learn to un
the state of Oregon as economi
cally as we run a bank. You
never find a useless clerk around
a bank. You never find a super
fluous employe. " ,
Government in Oregon has been
permitted to become expensive be
cause we went wild after this war
and spent money on everything.
Our county government costs too
much and our city government
costs too much. : We are spending
too much money for what we are
getting out of It all along the line..
With all our talk of economy, na
tional government costs too much.
The pressure Is great for every
Institution to get an increase ' In
appropriations. ; There must be
certain increases, of course, to
meet growing needs, but the "fight
must always be to hold down the
annropriatlons because back of
e very 1 appropriation there ; is an-over-burdened
taxpayer.
THE FATAL VOTE
Milton Miller "is making his
campaign for senatpr on one Vote
cast by Senator ' McNary j" some
four years ago. The Oreron
Statesman does not undertake' to
defeni tr; at vote. What It-does
say Is (hat In ajl fairness four
yeears of exemplary public service
has been sufficient to redeem
any unpopularity that might have
followed that vote. It Is abso
lutely impossible .for any United
States senator to -vote always to
please everybody, Every vote he
casts displeases somebody. .
A : senator must maintain his
position
with I1I3 "associates. He
be odd. He sometimes
can notj
has to shut his eyes in order that
he may keep his obligation and
standing with other senators.
Anyone who has ever been around
legislatures understands this.
Senator McNary has cast as few
objectionable votes as any man
who ha s ever been senator from
this sta e. Mr. Miller is also ob-
jecting
because Senator McNary
stood w
ith Coolidge in tax reduc-
tion
He was absolutely right In
this, and the country will sustain
not onlir McNary but will sustain
Coolidge. McNary has made a
who has been intelligent.
progressive and effective. He has
served his people; but he has also
been smart enough to get along
with his associates. It would be
a public calamity to displace this
valuable senator at this time, and
It is preposterous to, think there
Is any Chance of it being done.
MERGERS ARE COMING
El Paso, Texas, has been fight
ing a railroad merger for some
years. It has given up now. It
is inevitable, and the thing to do
is to ac just so that a merger can
be controlled.
Thens is no such thing as com
petition in railroads. That Is a
fiction that even the authors do
not believe. What there should
be is cooperation, coordination,
with st: "let government control to
hold tha railroads in leash so that
they may function forthe patrons
and not entirely for the stock
holders There should be no an
tagonist interests, however, be
tween the stockholders and pa
trons. The patrons are willing
and de sire the j stockholders to
realize a profit f on their invest
ment, liut the da object to paying
lividends on watered stock. The
aatrons have full .sympathy with
-he railroads when they are run
is op rating propositions, but
vhen they become stock jobbing
aggregations thin it is time for
"he strong arm o the law to reach
out and curb them while it pro
tects the 'shipper generally.
NOT ITS WORK
The
Oregon Statesman refuses
o shed tears because a part or
he military training has been re-
from OAC at Corvallis. It
aever had any .business there in
he first place. It is not the work
3t an agricultural college. Oregon
Agricultural college Is doing . a
wonderful work, but, it Is not run
ning tue to its ideals In its ex
pansion. It should confine itself
to the purposes of an agricultural
college! It has no business being
v military school.
We ire so much impressed with
the grftat work being done at the
OAC that we cannot regret the
sloughing off of anything that
does. nt belong, there. Our agri
cultural college is worth millions
to the
are a
people every year and we
bit jealous of any distrac-
tions. that interfere with Its func-
tions
purely as an agricultural
college:.
DOING THE EXPECTED
x General Dawes shocked New
York because" he refused to play
the mountebank for cameramen,
who wanted to exploit 'him. In
a veryj emphatic manner Dawes
announced that he wasn't going to
play the fool for anybody; that
he was going to be himself and
he didn't want .any flim-flams,
pyrotechnics or deceptions in his
case. He proposed to carry his
message to the people and not
make a spectacular presentation.
General Dawes Is right. There
has been too much of this tom
foolery. Advertisers keen for ad
vantages have seized upon promi
nent nien and utilized them to the
detriment of their dignity for ad
vertising purposes. General Dawes
refused to be a party to this. It
is fine to see a public man take
this position. He was everlast
ingly right. i- ,
THE SIMPLE LD?E
A r
ch Chicago woman, tired of
a luxurious apartment, bought a
bungalow In the country. She
says jshe wants to live. The
woman is right. It is a great pity
that so many people who love the
out-of-doors are couped up in
apartments. There are people
who prefer apartments. To them
it is all right, hut those who love
the open should have that desire
gratified. There Is nothing like
pure air; there It nothing like air
for refreshing: people, building
them jup, and making them cour
ageously strong.: ' ; .'
THE HUNTING SEASON
Governor . Pierce did ; not 'back
down,--" en:,! tt'. httS-Un; jeason.
Those of his friends who felt dis
appointed can be assured of this.
The rain made It unnecessary; to
supersede! the law. A, governor
has n right to nullify laws except
in emergencies, and when ?this
emergency passed Governor Pierce
had no alternative except to lift
the eipbargo. He was not bluffed
into anything. He "did hl3 duty
In the first place fearlessly, and
but for the rain would have held
to i his course. Those who are
carrying a chip on the shoulder
thinking they bluffed the governor
are basking in hollow husks. The
rain did the job. ;

THE "CREST" BY WHICH
MADGE RECOGNIZED i
THE HANDKERCHIEF j
With hands that I could not
keep from shaking, I picked up
the filmy handkerchief which the
mysterious Don Ramon Almirez
had dropped at my feet, and later
had pressed into my hand on the
preteiise that it was mine.
Frpm its folds I extracted a
tiny 'folded note.1 unsealed, and
bearing no address. .This I laid
aside) for delivery to my father,
as the man calling himself Don
Ramon had asked,; and gave a cur

which the man had put in me
Evidently he had been .sure that
I would i not open : the note, I
wondered also if he had decided
not to address it because he feared
I might recognize the handwrit
ing. But the next Instant I had
put all other conjectures away
from me and was staring as if at

Swiftly I traveled back the road
of memory to the days when Grace
Draper had been Dicky's art pro

and secretary, the days before her
infatuation for him had led her to
make my life for awhile a hide

I had observed that every ar

from! her 'kerchiefs to her gowns,
bore) somewhere upon it a tiny,
delicately embroidered four Jeaved
clover in olive-green silks. It was
oddly designed, most cleverly; ex
ecuted, and once she had com
mented upon It laughingly, j
"It is my crest," she had laugh
ed a jtrifle bitterly I guessed that
she was ashamed of her origin
"evefy bit as distinctive and ten
timei as lucky aa the four quar
tering, don't you think?"
I made her a perfunctory an
swer, and had thought no more
about the matter, although I re
membered now that when she had
reappeared In our lives in the aw
ful time which had ended with
her ljcldnaping of Junior, there had
been! no mark of any kind upon
any of her belongings.

that! In spite of him, she had van

to reports made to the National
