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.

milk, they may manufacture and sell their margarine till the

bread, without the skim milk. And the sales would go on.

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.",

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

work and he Is entitled to the

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

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. '

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. That he would express
joy or chagrin I believed, and was

total amount j of money paid j to
Richardson was 1 2 5. However,
this was not all of the animals

themselves to their holes and bur
