THE T. W. DIUVE
Not much has been said about
the YWCA drlTe, bat it Is of great
Importance to Salem. That as
sociation is working splendidly ia
this city and doing a world of
good. It Simply must be support
ed. It ia not 'asking for a large
sum. It is asking for just what
it has to hare, and the people of
Salem, if they appreciate the work
it is doing, will give it to them
quickly. ; Salem simply must not
get along without the YWCA. It
is such a wonderful helper in the
righteous things of the city.

DOING WELL FOR ITS STOCKHOLDERS
I
The American Sugar Refining Company one f the big
gest of the Wall Street concerns getting their raw sugar Jn
t-Cuba and refining it in the United States, has issued its" an-
nual report to its stockholders; a copy is before the writer
f j And it is a splendid showing for its stockholders ; i ;
t The president of the company points out that ihe income
Cot the company has been sufficient to meet all charges, losses,
C depreciation, preferred dividends and to have maintained the
ordinary 7 per cent common dividend for the entire period
f Common dividends have been omitted since July, 1921, how
f ever, as a matter of conservative 'policy owing to J a vital
Rehabilitation and construction program and the necessity of
t carrying customers for nearly $25,000,000. under their coh-
J tract commitments after the collapse of sugar, prices in 1920.
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.

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. . .

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.

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.

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.

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
