M I J 500 BEET SUGAR FACTORIES ;,; "We should have 500. Oregon, "Washington,; Montana, ; North Dakota, South. Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio and even New York should grow all the sugar they eat." The above is a paragraph from a piece of printed matter being sent to the newspapers of the United States by C. H. Allen, president of the Farmers Sugar Company, Defiance, ; Ohio, who recently addressed the Salem Kfwanis and Rotary clubs. : . "h ... i ! : We have 106 beet sugar factories in the United States. JjVWe should have' 500," says Mr. Allen 1 l' , "And some of them would have to be large factories, to make 'j'the United States self sufficient in the field of sugar :! ; For the present beet sugar factories in this country supply " only "1755 per cent of our ' consumption, and the cane "sugar refineries getting their supplies from Cuba supply 60 per cent ; l and our consumption is. growing fast. 1 It is now about 5,500,000 i tons annually, or a little more than a fourth of all the world's iuupply. But the important statements in the circular under i discussion;to the' people of the Salem district, are the following: 4 'We haven't factories' enough in Ohio to take i care of the farmers who want to grow; beets this . year, and thousands of acres under contract were canceled -because the factories i were not large enough to handle them. In Colorado, j Utah and - Idaho, the farmers told me beets were their best paying crop in the last few years. In North Da kota and Minnesota,, where the farmers for five years have proved they can grow a splendid sugar " bet and where all they need is, factories, I was begged to get them capital to build such factories. They must do something to get away from wheat growing, as every year their production has de- ? creased. Destruction of the ! sugar beet industry V' "would affect -the future prosperity of thousands ,! of farmers in North Dakota and Minnesota where , , they are just developing the crop, as well as those ' sections where it is already established." i.The last sentence of the above quoted words by Mr. Allen j are "explained by the fact that both the Democratic and La Follette campaigns are linked up with the refinery magnates of C the- Atlantic seaboard, with their center in Wall Street, who t are alarmed at the increase in interest in this country in the 4 growing and manufacturing of sugar beets j Si j; For they know, that the success of the movement for more ( beet sugar factories in this, country would keep sugar prices v within; bounds, and would curtail the profits of the refineries if of the crude suppues they get from Cuba, grown: by black labor there that is in the condition of peonage that amounts to virtual 'I slavery. ) ' .;;.''.; : i ' ! 1 Of course, Oregon should and the building of the first factory in Salem ought to be speeded, and it should be followed by factories all over the Willamette valley where the labor may be had i ,i And! the writer predicts that just this , result will follow the election of Cooiidge and Dawes and the assurance that the 5 protective tariff on Cuban sugar will be maintained.

Our dairymen are doing nothing j of. the. kind. They; are merely demanding that the nut butter tt: substitutes be not allowed to carry with their wares a mixture ' of skim milk in order to give them flavor. Without the skim milk, they may manufacture and sell their margarine till the r cows come home. And they would, too. ' And they ought to sell it at still lower prices. They now have a f'cheap" spread y- for bread.' They would be able to make a cheaper spread for bread, without the skim milk. And the sales would go on. : But they would go on without the coconut counterfeiting the ; cow. v Nut butter is good for what it is good for.

AN OLD DODGE" Under the above title the Klam ath Falls Herald delivers Itself of a few political remarks which are very pertinent. Here Is what the Herald says: ! "Clouding Issues Is an old po litical trick and this Is just what Governor Walter Pierce and his henchmen are endeavoring to do over the state treasurership. "Voters should ever keep ; in mind this one fact election of Jefferson Myers to the treasurer's office Is essential to Pierce it he continues control of the state ad ministration. "Through means of a report, en gineered by the governor and Mr. Myers, an auditor has Issued a surveyi of the school fund loan situation. Great stress Is laid on a number of loans that are held by them to be doubtful In value. The state frasurer is automatically a member! of the board of control and thus the connection between school I fund loan and the candi dacy of j Thomas B. Kay, republi can,, who seeks to return to the treasurer's of flee. , i "As I to the business sagacity and integrity of Mr. Kay his long record j In Oregon speaks for It self. No man seriously believes that Jefferson Myers Is any keen er, unfortunately ior tne gover nor no evidence exists that his business; acumen is even equal. "The j crux of the situation Is that unless the governor succeeds in returning Myers to the treasu rership he can no longer maneu ver appointments through; the board of control. ; "Klamath county has had some concrete' examples of the Pierce administration and methods. From this newspaper's viewpoint they have been highly detrimental. They certainly have lacked judg ment and conception In the broad sense. As an executive Mr. Pierce needs a balance wheel and Thomas Kay on the board of control will fill that vacancy admirably.", 1 -. ' CAN APPEAL NOW Those who are contending that it la necessary to ' curb our su preme -court in order to get Jus tice in ail cases forget that the American people can change the constitution now any time they want iy, and the court Is being changed: quite, frequently by ap pointment. If a decision Is ren dered on a constitutional question contrary to the desires of the peo ple it Is not the province of the critics to attack the court. The judges did not make the law; they simply Interpret It. If the law Is in conflict with the constitution, no matter how desirable, then change: the constitution. If the people want a law that is in conflict with the constitu tion congress can submit It to the states and the legislatures , ratify It. That makes it a part of the constitution, so it is not neces sary to feel that you have got to do away with one branch of our government in order to be sure that all; decisions will be satis factory! I ' ' I MILK It Is true that milk is the most balanced ration known to man. This has caused it to be the vic tim of frequent' and expensive sub stitutes, j A few years ago there was a 'slogan, "Just as good as royal,"; referring to another ar ticle. That Is what has been done In the milk business. Substitutes are advertised "Just as good as milk." ; They are not as good as milk: Of course nothing has been provided as good as milk. Milk Is a food almost complete in Itself. We need to encourage the use of milk,! because it Is healthful. School j children should all take a small bottle of milk to school. It wlU 'make them stronger, make them learn easier and Increase their capacity for play. When ever milk Is attacked It should be defended as one of our greatest and most profitable friends and allies. I M A DESTRUCTIVE CAMPAIGN The democratic campaign, which of course is hopeless. Is confined chiefly to fault finding, malicions reports and Irresponsible charges. There, hasn't been a constructive Idea advanced by that party, and the American people have never been known to vote a destructive ticket, j They always stand by constructive . policies. : ; . ; w ; : , A NEW PLAN The Bank of Italy is one of the great banks 'on the Pacific coast. It has Just decided to sell Itself to its employes. I The plan calls for obtaining a controlling block of stock by the active employes, a change In the list of officers and the directorate at least every five years, to allow for promotions to these offices from the employes' list, and the full protection of all tne rignts ana present ana poten tial earnings of the 14,000 stock holders. The .bank has $17,500, 000 in stock outstanding' and an actual capital strength of $50,- 000,000. I Under the plan the bank will set aside 40 per cent of Its net earnings at the end of each half year, to be added to a sum con tributed from : the salaries and wages of the employes. The 40 per cent contribution of the bank, including dividends, will be given to the employes gratis, each to receive in proportion to the sum that he contributes to this con trol fund. . In addition to the opportunity this fires men to make invest ments worth while, the rotation in officers is going to be one of the finest parti of it. Every man can have a show, i ATTACKING MBS. COOLIDGE The snobbery, the real devllish ness, that caused a New York so ciety woman in the presence of Mrs. Davis to attack Mrs. Cooiidge for being domestic is hard to un derstand. One would naturally suppose that Mrs. Davis would have been the first tone to protest such a complaint. f We are a nation of home mak ers and hornet lovers and Mrs. Cooiidge Is functioning as the typi cal American woman when she gives first place to her home. In stead of being; something against this woman, it Is greatly in her favor that In circumstances that try the stability of women to the utmost she retains her lore for her home and puts that first. COMING SOME It is mighty iood news that 500 families have just been added to the population of Oregon. We need 5,000 families, j and we will get them if we quit advertising the state as being an undesirable place for residence, jj W. O. Ide of the state chamber of commerce.

CHAPTER 292 THE WAY THE MAN SMITH FOUND THE CODE INTACT The sound of a key turning In the back of the antique desk, told me that Katie was obeying Smith's injunction to open the desk where Lillian .had put the eyeglass case which had decoyed the man back into the trap set for him. A slight shuffling noise meant that the girl was fumbling for the ab surd secret drawer which puzzled nobody, and then Katie's voice sounded again,. "Here ees ting dey hid. Ees eet vot you vant?" ; "Don't ask' questions -" he add ed a slighting epithet, and I, used to Katie's excitable temperament, wondered if she would be able to remain, perfectly calm under the insult. - , But either from a remembrance of her duty as an ' "actress" or from genuine fear iof the man Smith,. Katie uttered j no sound. and then there was the quick, im patient tearing of paper as Smith fumbled with the clumsy brown wrappings in which Lillian pur posely had tied the case. Katie Plays Her Part. 1 . . "Ah!", I A sibilant Intake of the breath and the single exclamation told me that Smith had reached the case, and I guessed from the tiny beam of light which came underneath the draperies that Katie was : holding the. flashlight for him. s , : i ' - TV a I ' ' . nere, you." his voice r was brutal, .all the more so because he kept it at so low a pitch. "I do not choose that you see any more for a while. Come here. Hold the light In front of you till bind your eyes." ! ' "Vot?" The exclamation broke from Katie, but was quickly changed to a little cry of pain Smith must have struck or kicked or pinched her, . and I exercised every dh or sen-control - I pos sessed to keep from' rushing "Into the room to Katie's aid. But my common sense told me that If the girl i obeyed : him implicitly he would not hurt her while she was still of use to him In showing him the way about the house. ' So I re mained at my post, filled with a primitive longing to reach the sinister figure in the next room and mete out to him a brutality equal to his own. ' it. Smith Is Jubilant. ; "You will get worse than that If you speak or move again with out my permission." Smith said menacingly, and I heard a little strangled sob in Katie's throat which meant terrified obedience. "There!" The single word came after a few seconds' silence, evl dently devoted to binding the girl's eyes. ."Now give me that flash, and lie down on the floor, full length, arms crossed, face In arms. Quick. That's ! better. could soon teach you obedience. Your mistress has spoiled you. Now, if you lift your head or make any other movement until I give you permission i you will get an other little caress like this." "This'' must have been a kick. I heard a smothered moan from Katie,, and took an Involuntary step toward the draperies which separated , me from my faithful little maid, then remembered that one of the vital points In Lillian's plan was to have Smith discover that the queer thin, papers behind the secret lining of the eyeglass case apparently had not been dis turbed. If Katie lay motionless as ,1 was sure' she would she was safe from further injury until be had finished his investigation, and any movement of mine would upset. Lillian's whole plan. Smith seated himself delibera t- ly in a chair I heard the springs creak as his weight Settled Into it Then there came to my ears the rustling of paper, and I knew that by the aid of the flashlight he was examining the papers. I held my breath, and strained my ears to hear his first word. He believed himself to be alone ex cept for Katie, who was. In his opinion, ' patently a ' negligible quantity.
