Income during the period has averaged $11,000,000 annual- t. ly as against $8,150,000 during the previous ten year period. -Furthermore, it has yielded about $10,000,000 increase in surplus during the last ten years against $17,000,000 decrease f ,n the previous ten year period. . ! i ; '- : I The report discloses that $45,000,000 has been spent in r maintenance, repairs and improvements, including the con struction of the new Baltimore refinery, ships, molasses equipment and timber lands, and nearly $17,000,000 has been -charged off as depreciation, v v 1 , . Here is one of the most significant statements: ,-r ' "About (40 per cent of the raw sugar refined in i the United States is owned or controlled by competi- . tors of the company. To meet this competition, the r company within the last ten years has acquired one and built another Cuban plantation of 500 squared nfles. , These plantations provide abojtk12.pertcentJ of the company V raw 'sugar requirements; represent an investment of over $30,000,000, and i have been ; profitable and helpful to the company's competitive.', position." I ; That is all very well from the standpoint of the interests of the stockholders of the American Sugar Refining Com gpany, and they re shown in the report that this 500 square miles of Cuban sugar land has been made a most i splendid investment :- --'.A - ; ; j"v-- : :'-J . " The said stockholders being mostly connected up in some 7 way, and some of them in many ways, with Wall Street rl But it is all the greater menace to the beet and cane : 5 sugar factories of the United States, and to the cane and 4 beet growers of this country. ' ; v j ; Here is a concern which says to its stockholders that one of its chief duties is to meet the competition of competi- tors refining "about 40 per cent of the raw. sugary refined in the United States , :l In other words it itself refines the other 60 per cent of the raw sugar refined in this country. i. ; j - 15 C There is only one way to set up and keep up a competi tion that can keep the price of sugar in this country stable and within bounds, and that is through beet sugar factories and sugar beet-growing jiere r : c 1 . 1 - That is one of the most important matters now before the people of the United States, in rendering this country ' self contained. ,- . ;': j 'i - ; I , - . f I We must have more beet sugar factories, and still more, till we produce our whole supply. We produced 1,000,000 tons hi 1924. Our consumption in 1925 will be1 5,000,000 tons. 4 a.- Again there is a cry against cutting the Christmas trees. It is the old habit of passing the buck. The destruction of the forests in Oregon is not through Christmas trees but through the depreda tions of man. . There are more trees destroyed by fires in one year than are cut for Christmas purposes in a hundred years. We must not permit our attention to be diverted in this way. We must Insist . upon going to the; bottom of . the matter and placing the re sponsibility where it belongs. Carelessness In starting fires Is one of "our great crimes and it should' be so recognized. . . Thrift Weelc Tale ! ,i i i! r ! Hi I.I 1 1 Advantages of Savings and Loan Association Stressed, I'. iBy Charles Wiper. : Savings and Loan associations are. now an important factor in the economic life of the' country. Their, establishment isf encourag ed by political economists and philanthropists, and they are care fully guarded and fostered by leg islation. The large middle clas3 of oar population, the working men and wage-earners of the coun try, among j whom they prosper and flourish, recognize? them as a practical and efficient means to financial advancement. Their WHAT IS WRONG? Is there something wrong with the office lot governor on are the wrong men" getting- in t First t started offjwith ifijam ; Sulzer of New York, who wasjmpeached; then : Ferguson of . Texas , was im peached: then Walton of OkXa-r bo ma. was impeached; then Me Cray of Indiana was sent to the penitentiary; then came Davis of Kansas. " who was charged with trafficking In ; pardons. That is a . very formidable array, respect able only in point of numbers. , A PITY . William Green," the new presl dent of the federation of labor. says some very nice things, , but ends up by fighting prohibition Mr. Green will not get anywhere in that. The American Federa tion of Labor must be progressive. must stand for the best of citizen ship if it will ever regain the hold it had. Prohibition hos come to stay., " - . . , ' A FINE EDITION The annual edition of the Bend Press was one. of the best issued this year." It, was full of vialu- able information and gave a rep resentative view of that thriving city as it is. The publishers f the Press deserve a good deal of credit and the city of Bend will reap big rewards from the edition. I BITS FOR BREAKFAST I : ; - ?! 1 r t -4 The work, oji building the Miles linen mill will go forward now, the ground plans for the machinery having arrived It will be a fine day for Salem when that institution starts to running. This writer predicts that it will be found running ! 1000 years hence, and many times the size of the initial plant. THE KEACTIOX we stated frankly when the senate undertook to read certain representatives out of the party mat it was poor politics, poor po litical ethics, and would be fol lowed with trouble. - -,- ' ' Of course there is a party ob ligation to support th party, yet our own Senator McXary voted against the president. . and jhas jdone so frequently, and senate leaders are doing it right along while claiming to be republicans. , They contend that it fs an emerg ency,, but so w the other an emergency. Certainly the obliga tion to support the president is as strong as the obligation to sup port the dictates of a senatorial ' caucus. . "r " . ' " t "- Senator Ladd has made a most scathing attack, upon Ihe republi cans and Bay he has the figures to show that the party leaders have bolted raore party principles than he has. ..y. . Tho question of what allegiance to party requires bristles with dif ficulties. If we are .to continue the two-party system, each, of the two major parties must bold the door open to persons and groups that are not necessarily; like minded on all - subjects. I There must be great latitude fordiffer ences of opinion and evenf objec tives, because it is ; exceedingly difficult to wrap up the American people In just two political pack ages. It is absurd to insist !on the two-party system ases3eniiai" to the successful working of the Am erican constitution and then expel large blocks of voters for alleged lack of party orthodoxy, part of the price- of the two-party system is the sufferance within the party of groups that often - make the night hideous for its leaders. If Senator Ladd and his fellow insurgents wish to affiliate with the republican party 1- hereafter, nothing can! prevent them. .; But even they cannot reasonably de mand that they be both In and out Told you about it U m . ( That Henry Ford was raising 600 acres of flax on his Dearborn farm, to make linen for rilvvers. Well, he is doing it now, in an ex perimental way. : j I In a little while all flivver tops, and all imitation leather in Ford cars will be of linen. And then all the rest of the makers of cars will have to come to this, because linen Is twice as strong as cotton, and four to five times as durable. The black, cherry pool members are to have a meeting at the Salem Chamber of Commerce tomorrow (Saturday) evening, at 7 o'clock, to arrange for the 1925 pool. George Vick, one of the leading members, says they have already ISO tons signed up. They hope to ship out 25 cars ; this year, and they believe that with the lessons they learned last year, they will be able to get top prices, and keep down the overhead; and guarantee quality stuff. The latter requisite is the big thing. 1 If that can be guaranteed, year; after year, the road will be comparatively smooth. v'Vi" V w Time is upd for beet freight fig ures to Beliingham. as promised. Should be no delay. The growers must know, early what to count upon. How did the primitive husband beneficient and economic value to the community is; now acknowl edged by all classes, and they are encouraged on every hand as a prominent factor in i promoting public welfare. I With the spread of Intelligence under our modern . civilization, there has been an! ever-increasing effort on the part of the working classes and those dependent on small incomes to accumulate mon ey and property. ln order to be come in any measure Independent people relying upon their own earnings for income 'must con stantly practice" industry and fru gality with intelligent judgement and patient perseverance. Of all the systems that have been devis ed to aid the working men and women In this respect, none has proved so successful or efficient as the; Savings and ' & Loan asso ciation. It enables this class to convert their wages into income. Wages are earned by brains or hands. Income is learned from in vestments. When brains fall,; or ! hands cease working, wages stop, but, income does not cea$e. ? A strong point in favor of these as sociations is the purely democrat- I ic. mutual and equitable nature of their advantages; j v; ' . The wage-earner, trained, in habits of economy,' saving and thrift: by the influence of the as sociation, jind aroused to a laud able ambition by the opportunity it ' suggests and offers, becomes himself a borrowed and a user of capital, and supplies his needs for money from the: accumulated cap ital of his' associates. 1 1 , The growth and prosperity of savings and loanj associations in the United States,! during the past few years, has been' pbenominal. There are now over lO.OOO Of these institutions with over sef en! mil lion members and assets aggregat ing over! three billion, fife i hun dred million' dollars. ! These mem bers are drawn fron all walks of life as the savings and loan : asso ciation i not only; for the wage earner but for the man of means as well. These associations pro vide a safe' investment for the in dividual who wishes to invest Jl,j 000 or I10.00Q or more as well as for the smaller investor who can save only 15 or $ lv a month and for the jsafety of funds and rate of interest returned on the invest ment, : they ; aire' nbt equalled . by any other class jot financial insti tutions.) -1-fMM 4 Mi'WKi-.l-i express himself when! there were no doors to slam? i j : ' ' We have a leisure class in this country, but it keeps; rather busy counting calories.! ; Time flies, but some people age more rapidly than' others. -, It's the man of! few words who Is the cross word puzzle. v , A luxury is something the neigh bors have that we can't afford.
