PRICE CHANGES Vr rum racis nuuui ougar;, , . How little direct relationship exists between the price-of sugar and the tariff ha been strikingly Illustrated by the range of market values In the United States, during the past three years. Within this period there has been two changes in the! tariff, increasing the im port duty by three-quarters of a cent a pound, while the fluctuations In the market quotations on raw and refined sugar have amounted to over four cents a pound, but no connection between these move- . merits can be traced. : . .... ....: i" i. . "v t - i-.. " ' ;f '.is-.- ' In 1921 when the so-called emergency ; tariff was adopted, raising the Import duty on Cuban raw sugar from one cent to 1.60 cents a pound, the trend of sugar prices was downward throughout practical ly the whole year. This tendency was !so strong that when "the change fn duty went into effect the price' of raw sugar in the New York market remained unchanged for the moment and liter con tinued Its downward course. It was necessary for the , seller of foreign grown sugar to absorb the: whole of the increase In order to hold his place in the market. ': vif ;., I'" f ;. - S. In 1922, when the. present tariff was enacted, the price of sugar advanced more or less steadily throughout, the year.! This movement was Interrupted by a decline Immediately, before the tariffs law was passed, due to the efforts of holders of dutiable sugar to sell before the change, a recovery following the adoption of the law and then a continuation of the advance exactly as itj would have continued, had there been no change in the duty. I . i 1, s,, In 1923 sugar reached its highest price In April, practically at the height of the Cuban grinding campaign, declined during thf sum mer months when little or no sugar wa being produced, advanced during September, and again FELL OFF IN OCTOBER. WHENNEW CROP BEET SUGAR CAME UPON THE MARKET, j : ' f ' In 1924 the range of prices was more or lees similar to the movement in the previous year. The high point war reached In February and was followed by a continuous decline until Jnne. :fFrotn then until September there was a gradual ivance, JoUowedby ? a second decline In October and November UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A LARGE BEET SUGAR CROP and a sharp drop In the last few weeks of the year undej- the influence of unexpectedly high estimates of coming Cuban production. i f; i , J ' L In all these fluctuations It is possible to trace the infjaence Pf successive changes In the known ot anticipated relationship of supply and demand and one might reconstruct j the course of events wit h fair accuracy from study of a chart of prices.

No matter how muehjwe -desire to turn 'our state ' over to the tourists we couldn't get? them to come because we have .only .three- months of a tourist season. Ftor Ida" has It all the year round, j , It Is hard to understand how prominent men like a speaker of the house and the secretary of. the state Chamber of 'Commerce can ' standi before n j intellijEre? body of men and compare Florida and Oregon -to the disadvantage T1IH1FT "WEEK The present week la devoted to discussion of thrift.. It started with Franklin's birthday. The country Is slow to learn the les sons , and i benefits of thrift. It is so easy j to spend money and so hard to save it that we are mighty apt to take the easy route. Fur thermore It Is so hard, for aome people to deny themselves what they see their neighbors having that ; it makes It still harder. There are those , who Insist Chat they are entitled to just as good as anybody In their; town. Just as much money to spend and boy nst as good goods. We wish the folly of such an attitude could be appreciated by all because the In sistence on this theory has broken more hearts than all other things in the world put together. Those who are happiest are those who cut their garments according to their cloth, who nerer think of living ahead of their Incomes. Thlft week In Salem means 6 a better, city. It means more people with money. It means more sen sible buying and means more real wants supplied. The banks lead off in this because banks are the schools for thrift. They make money out of It of. course but they ought tor make money out of It. The country is full of people who haTe started with savings accounts and learned to economize generally. It is hoped this week that the lesson will be brought home as never before. J WAVE RADIATIOX ' f Just now there .1 a good deal of discussion about radio, radia tion, electron a, etc, A quarter of century ago a . man named A. Wllford Hall came forward with the theory that sound was mat erial corpuscles: He fought brave ly but the scientific world never gave him a hearing and he died broken man---broken on the wheel of injustice. Dr. Hall wrote hook called, ;"The Problem of Human Life." j Several thousand copies were circulated but not a single scientific society would even listen to him. They didn't want to hear his theory and after battling for many years he gave up the fight and died in despair. He published a monthly magazine called the :Microcosm which he was unable to sustain. Is It true that Dr. Hall was a great scientist? That ne naa gropings of the everlasting truth? Men every day are coming up and propounding revolutionary theo ries. Some times they get auai encee and some times they do not. Dr. Hall lived at a time when it was' impossible for an outsider to get an audience. Science was developing the things I already found, believing that everything had then been discovered. Yet that was before the days of the flying machine, before the days of radio, and berore the aays oi many of the marvels of the world. ' THE FISH ROW As a matter of fact, Dr. .Ross never ought to have been on the fish commission. Why Governor Pierce put him on Is a mystery but there Is a reason why Dr. Ross changed his mind after he got on the commission He ap pointed his cousin who "was sup posed to learn the business and become the real manager, but this eouain failed ; to meet every test and now the problems is to get rid of him, l.J.-r'- Dr. Ross found that Shoemaker against whom the fight was made was competent and he decided! to avail himself of Shoemaker's ser vices until his cousin. "cotfld learn the business. As time wore on and the cousin did not learn .and Shoemaker more fully . demons trated his capacity. Dr. Ross sim ply had no alternative f aa an honest man hut to continue Shoe maker In office Dr. Ross is not fitted for. the fish commission but he was "honest -enough to aamit that Shoemaker -was a valuable man In the state. . f THE .HEALTH PROGRAM The Statesman Is very glad : to welcome ; Dr. Walter M. f Brown here for a five year period. .
