Y- For tbere will always be a linen industry, and there is no
-section of the world" as well adapted to it as this by Mature;
where the fields and the factorieswill be close together, with
every single natural condition in perfection. -
Tha Statesman of "Wednesday morning referred to, the
tariff - protection under the present law, saying : ' k '
'In the first place the 4ya.rn&' will be protected 10c a pound if
Tnot finer than 12 lea, and if finer than 12 and not finer than 60
lea, a half cent for each lea or part thereof in excess of 12. The
yarn is the first product of the spinning of the fiber." It is what
most of the, American linen and twine thread mills are now im-
porting Jfrom abroad, mostly -from Europe. This would make
?a 50 lea yam pay; a duty of 29 cents a pound. That is the kind
prDeimel will use in his proposed American factory, which he
prill locale in Salem, when he can get suitable yarns in sufficient
quantities. Above 60 lea yarns the duty is 35 cents a pound, with
a cents ? more if boiled and 5 cents more if bleached ordyed.
Twines are yarns carried further in manufacturing and they
are protected 184 cents a pound for coarse and three-quarters
..j of a cent a Jjound additional fori twines made of yarns above 11
lea for the excess above 11; and finer' than 60 lea, 56 cents a
pound, with; the' same, additions for. boiling and bleaching or
- dyeing. ' That is surely 'some' protection. It explains whv Dr:
r Deimel wan W to weave his linens for the 1 American market in
f wnereine xioer iiax can be produced and pulled cheaply, with-
in a very short time. The great wonder is that it has not gotten
under way s6oner. The lea is the measure of fineness for yarn
made from" the fiber of flax, cotton, silk, juteramie, hemp or
4 other plants jcarrying fiber." ; t Y.
And while Congressman Fordney was at the task of giving
'the United States tariff provisions that would enable the devel-
opment of a great linen industry in this country, he made it good
- and strong. v j He permitted no half way measures. -
A ' Flax straw is taxed at $2 a ton. Every process of manu
facturing th$' straw, is protected.1 The fiber is taxed 2 cents a
pound. Thei wader has noted, above, the rates on yarns and
twines. The highest rate provided, and 10 per cent additional, is
placed upon fish nets made from seine twines. Every woven fab
ric made from flax is well protected and there are hundreds of
Uhem.. The plainest woven fabrics are taxed 35 per cent ad
valorem, the; finer fabrics 40 to 50 per cent, and the still finer
5 per cent- - I . '-:-':-,-,
, i. And Canada,'under a new law,"prqtects its linen makers tum
ping out such fabrics as carrying a 55 per cent duty here only 15
per cent. That helps explain the movement from, that country
across the line to this country. - - i s
. f Y The Miles mill will not have to confine itself to twine. It
can make yarn and sell it on a world market, and have protec
tion to the extent of 35 cents a pound, with 7 cents a pound
, additional for boiling and bleaching. There is a world market
for yarns., Tiiey are as staple as wheat A manufacturer has
. estimated thit fiber , can . be turned into yarns and then -into
twines or threads for around 15 to 20 cents a pound. Does the
f reader note what that means, with thje present protective
duties f , Y ;Y' - ..-Y 1 : j-: ,-:
The state flax plant at the Oregon penitentiary could carry
its operations a single step further, from the fiber to" the yarn,
4and perhaps make, the institution self supporting, without inter
Bering in any way with any factory to be built here; but on the
itontrary helping those'to be built or in prospect, for they all
rmust have yarns, and the wide world market heeds yarns, All
the linen factories in the eastern part of the United States need
yarns ; are buying them from abroad, mostly from Europe. ;
r This -all means many more growers of flaxi many more

" ; Do you get the vision? Y; Y : Y r -
1 - And the Miles mill will be firmly on the ground, with hun
; adreds of things it may make, besides yarns and twines. It is
. only a step from the spinning of yarns to any one of the hun
i - dredsof articles on the markets made from flax fiber. ? Every
garment, almost, has linen cloth for Jts linings. Nearly-every

The fiax plant is the magic plants It furnishes a fiber so
fine it cannot be seen with the naked eye, that, spun and woven,
will produce a fabric that will defy the storms and outlive its

AIR MAILS AND STORMS
It is declared that the storms of
winter will not knock out the air
maH. Blizzards, and snow storms,
and frigid weather will come but
the preparation is declared to be
so thorough that there will be no
bad effects. Yy
Y Those whose responsibility it Is
to set the air mail through on
scheduled time, regardless of wea
ther, have left no stone unturned
to guarantee ; regular service this
winter. Cold weather, In itself,
is not a serious menace to the avi
ator, for he faces It even in mid
summer at the ' righ altitudes
where flying is safest.
But snowstorms, blizzards and
deep snow on the landing fields
are ere rpresent dangers of winter
flying, especially at night. It is
these the air mail service has pre
pared to meet and conquer. Y
Skies, instead of wheels or pon
toons, will be affixed to , the air
planes to make the landing safe
in the deepest snow. Pilots will
wear a new 'monkey suit," fur-
lined," that will cover them from
head to foot and assure more com
fort than the old suits heated by
electricity, never entirely satisfac
tory. Every cockpit will be heat
ed from the engine by a new ar
rangement. WHERE THEY FAILED 1

total eligible vote. The people

Is down in the south where the ne
groes are not allowed to vote that
the vote fell off so terribly. There
is a further reason in the south
and that is the contests are in the
primaries.' There Is no contest In
any election. Y Y
. Voting is a privilege, f . There is
no way to force it. We must sim
ply educate the people up to want
ing to vote. It is one of our great
est questions. In the recent elec
tion an analysis of figures is inter
esting. Indiana came across with
83.2 per cent. Kansas shows 80.1
per cent. West Virginia has 76.3
per cent; Minnesota, ' 83.Z per

New Hampshire, 70.1 perj cent;
Rhode Island, 69.6 per cent; Del
aware, 69.4 per cent; ! Missouri,
68.8 per cent; Iowa, 67.5 per cent;
and Illinois, 66.5 per cent. At the
low end of the scale are South
Carolina witbr8 per cent of the
eligible voters going to the polls;
Georgia, 10.1 per cent; Mississippi

FOR ECONOMY
1
A careful scrutiny of every de
partment of government -indicates
that President. Coolidge has the
hearty cooperation of his adminis
trative associates. In every de
partment there is a demand for
economy. There is a figuring to
see who can make. the most sav
ing. 1 ;
The public will not take kindly
however to the proposition to in
increase the postage rates but the
postage rates are high enough and
there ought to be more economy
In that department Instead of add
ing to it. Of course it is develop
ing but everybody writes , letters
and everybody lays postage. How
ever with that' exception every
branch of the government is doing
its best to lower taxes. Instead of
raising them, y ;
CUTTING THE WASTE
Henry Ford does not make
much fuss about his economies but
he has them just the same. Every
day they are studying new econ
omies and they are developing
their business largely through
economical management.-" , 1
Henry Ford has recently gone
Into the railroad business. The
road he secured was practically
junk, and losing money. He not
only put.lt on its feet but started
by reduced rates. Hd has done It
by the use of increased efficiency
and the practice of cutting to the
bone economy. ' S

ECOfflIC METIS
DISCUSSES FLAX
Need of Crop, Probable De
velopment and the 1925
, Market. Topics
The Polk county economic con
ference was rich In possibilities
tor the farmers of that county and
also the proceedings "are mighty
interesting reading for farmers
everywhere. The Statesman will
undertake to give a report of the
committees from day to day. Be
low is given the report of the flax
committee which Is important just
at this time. , w - (
There is" approximately 60,
000,000 worth of linen products
manufactured from flax fiber im
ported into the United States an
nually. On these importations
there is a 30 per cent duty. In
the Pacific Northwest there Is
used annually approximately $1,
000,000 worth of salmon twine
which Is also a flax product. At
the present time all of this twine
comes from Europe. -Prospective
Development of Indus
try in Oregon
There is a move under way at
the present time for the estab
lishment of a flax fiber spinning
mill In Salem which will cost ap
proximately 8150,000. According
to B. C. Miles, of Salem, who is
promoting this enterprise, $100,
000 in stock has already been sub
scribed., Present plans contem
plate that this -mill ...will ' manu
facture salmon twine tor which
there is a million dollar market
In the Northwest. " It is expected
that the establishment of such a
mill will provide a stable market
for flax fiber produced in the Wil
lamette valley. Such a market
has been lacking in the past.
While the outlook for the en
terprise is good ; it Is , generally
recognized that a spinning mill
might be considered as an exper
imental manufacturing enterprise.
- ' Purpose of This Committee .
This committee believes in view
of the foregoing facts that the
flax fiber industry offers excel
lent' possibilities as a profitable
farm crop in addition to supplying
an .industry which will provide
employment for people who will
consume the products of the soil.
We deem, it our purpose, therefore,
to determine - a program of flax
production and marketing which
will permit the development, ex
pansion and continuance of this in
dustry along economic lines.
- Market for Flax in 1025
The Immediate market outlet
for flax straw for 1925 is through
the flax plant of the state of Ore-
son at -Salem.-. -This plant can
handle 4000 tons of flax straw
The approximate price for 1925
Will be 322 per ton for 20 inch
mowed flax, $28 per ton for 20
to 28 inch pulled flax and $38
per ton for 30 inch pulled flax or
over. Seed ia available for $2.00
per-bashel..---
. While it Is expected that this
market outlet will expand, this ex
pansion will be slow and present
acreage should be kept within the
limits of the present market out
let.
Flax produced for fiber which
Is less than 20 Inches in length
at present prices cannot economi
cally be marketed for its fiber
content. It is therefore, the rec
ommendation of this committee
that flax less than 20 inches in
length should 'be harvested for
seed. -
Cost of Producing Flax
The total cost of producing an
acre of flax in Polk - county ' is
$42.50. Of this amount $10 Is
for hauling a two-ton crop to mar
ket at Salem. Before Polk county
can compete advantageously with
other sections more favorably sit
uated a retting and Bcutching
plant , should be established here
to eliminate excessive hauling
Costs. " -y ' - i, '
Development of Industry
Last year there was 1147 tons
of flax straw delivered to the
state plant at Salem. Of this
amount Polk county produced 351
tons or 32 -per cent and Marion
county produced 795 tons or 67
per cent. : ,. ., -
In view of experimental nature
of the flax production for fiber
we recommend that 15 test plots
be planted on various soil : types
in ' the . county to determine where
flax can be successfully grown.
We also recommend that a flax
demonstration tour be held during
the growing season under the su
pervision of the Extension Service
of the Oregon Agricultural Col.
lege.- ; Farmers should plant flax
cautiously to avoid losses.
.i,: Growing Recommendations
1. Flax is - not hard on the
land." Actual analysis made by
the government shows that dollar
for dollar In ; value flax : takes
slightly less fertility from the soil
than does wheat.
2. Flax in order to be success
ful, should be grown In a clover
rotation. Perhaps . a three year
rotation would be best.
S.r'Flax should be planted on
the best valley lands which are
fertile and well drained.' In order
to be profitable at prevailing pric
es a yield approaching two tons
per acre or more Is necessary and
only the most fertile-well-drained
lands will produce this tonnage.
4. Clean land free from weeds
is essential to flax production. No
foul land - should ie planted to
flSX. - "
5. It Is advisable to consult
experienced growers before plant
ing flax to learn the best methods
of preparing seed bed and sowing,

THE REASON TOM CHESTER
HAD TO GIVE UP THE TASK
Lillian's scheme worked perfect

siae of the entrance to the wood
road, where we . were sure the
strange limousine was concealed,
was a glade-like opening into the
woods, not ambitious enough to
oe called a. road, bufwide enoueh
just beyond its curving entrance
to conceal a car. -
Dicky and I had parked bur ear
mere out of sight of the road
many times when we wished to
tramp through our favorite wood
ed hills a little distance away,
and I knew Just the turn to make

a wide-flung hand - to - signal my

car into the grade, hearing the
prearranged steady tooting of the
horn of my father's car as I ehut
of the ignition and the car slid
gently to a stand-still. - . . - J i.
. For I several minutes after the
noise of the engines and the horn
had died away we sat breathless
ly waiting for any indication from
the road behind us that the occu

our- ruse.
Then as no sounds but those
common to the woods at night
reached our ears, Tom Chester de

starting. I scrambled down, quick
ly, beside him, and In spite of his
nerceiy-whispered protests,, man
aged to take upon myself the
greater part of the lifting of tha
bicycle to the ground. 1 saw the
Intrepid young chap stagger as he
put his hand upon the bicycle
ready to mount It and I moved to
ward him quickly and put a re
straining hand upon his arm.
"You cannot " I "began, but he
shook off my hand, not angrily but
as If he were carried out of him
self by the indomitable will which
was lashing his body to action.

him.
VI Must -GoiT .
I ran frantically toward him.
and found; as I had feared, that
he was unconscious. My flashlight
showed that one leg was doubled
under him. and something . about
the posture made me afraid that
it was broken... When I lifted the
bicycle from him, and attempted
to straighten his body, my fears
were realized for he gave a quick
sharp groan. : r : .
"My leg," he groaned, then as
he returned to full consciousness
he rose on one elbow, his face
contorted with pain, and then back
against me powerless to move. I
lowered him gently to the ground,
ran to the car, got the robe and
the seat cushions dragged them
back beside him and Improvised
a couch. Then I bent over the
half-conscious hoy and. spoke
sof tly but distinctly. . ; .
I must get you on these cush

distinctly. "Try to help me all you
can, so that I will not hurt your
leg more than necessary." J
"I must go. was all the answer
I could get from him. So setting
my teeth, I took him hy the shoul
ders and managed to get him over
on the car cushions. I think he
fainted when I had to disturb his
doubled-up leg, but by the time I
had him safely on the cushions

had rallied to consciousness again,

Explosions Occur Nightly in
Downtown Section; Po-
. lice Are Apathetic
LISBON, Nov. 14 (AP) Lis
bon has been the scene of so many
bomb outrages, during tha last
two months, that the ravages sra
altering the appearance of th.a
central part of the city. In all tia
principal streets there are rulsei
shops and blackened piles of stone
marking the scene of each explo
sion,; while neighboring build:z:3
show shattered window
cracked walls.-
It is all the work of commun
ists, and just at present the Etrikea
of barbers and waiters affori
them an excuse for this destruc
tion. The explosions occur almost
nightly, and cafes, hotels and bar
ber shois are the chief sutferers.
Dynamite and nitro-glycerine ara
used. The bombs are set eff vir
tually under the eyes of ths po
lice. The criminals are selioza
caught. Arrests by the police Lave
brought retaliation in the form cf
assassination, and as a result tLa
officers of the law are apattetis.
The activity of these agitators
does not end with bomb exjilo
Bions. To them Is attributed by
the public a recent series cf rail
road accidents, including a derail
ment in which there were 40 cas
ualties.. . ;
In spite 'of the fact that Lisbc -a
crowd nearly lynched two alleged
communists the other day, arrest
ed for exploding a bomb, tha pea
pie of this city have grown to ac
cept these outrages. They do not
even seem interested. There ara
places where it rains every day,
they say, others where thunier
sVorms are frequent; In Lisbon
there are daily bomb outrages.
' It's too late to weep about it,
but-perhaps poor Cain had a' com
plex or dual personality or some
thing. .
There's one thing about tyjic-l
cigarettes for ladies. . They don't
fleet the price of tobacco.

assuming you will always fca rate!
