: :'The Willamette valley is the best place, in the United
States to raise flax," declared D. M. Sanson, linen manufac
turer of Canada and New York. And it's one of the best
places in the world to raise flax. And there will be a day
when linen manufacture from Willamette valley flax will be
a biff industry in Salem and possibly other cities in Oregon.
Such an industry is a thing ordained by nature for Western
Oregon and the lethargy and inertia of man will not always
stand in its way. Portland Journal. ; v ; , 1 s
v We hope to have the center of the industry in Salem.
But even if all the spinning and weaving were done in Salem,
a big linen industry developed in this city would benefit every
nook and corner of the Willamette valley, and all of Oregon
For the production of the raw materials up to the fiber
stage will be a big end of the industry
And, of course, most of the cities of the Willamette valley
will in time get linen factories. This is a development that
is sure to come. It is on the way now. ' j
I The Salem district is developing a honey bee boom. A
very good idea. We should have nothing but pure bred
golden bees; and ample supplies of late bee, pasture. Then
we would have the greatest bee country in the world. And
there would be little danger of fruit failure j from lack of
pollination. jj ." '
J "ONE OF OREGON'S NEEDS"!
1 (EusenS Register.)
Prom the current issue of the Harrisburg Bulletin,-we. cull this
pertinent little query : i - - ' '
; "Do you know Oregon hag 51 dairy herds Qualifying In
. the national honor roll as having an annual production per !r 1
- V herd of 300 pounds of butterfat per animal for; the year? t
We did not know it, but we are glad to find it out. i Having found
It out, we venture the guess that the owners of , these 51 herds are not
complaining about the hard lot of the dairyman. The best figures ob
tainable indicate that a dairy cow begins to pay her owner a1 fair
profit when she reaches an annual production of 340 pounds of butter
fat, and so these cows that have reached the 300-pound mark are
real money makers. ' ; ,
The trouble with the dairy business and dairying hai Its
troubles, the same as everything else Is that production per cow. Is
not high enough. In Lane county, for example, it is estimated by
those who; ought to know that the average production per cow is
around 140 pounds per year. That means that each cow lacks 100
pounds of butterfat of showing a profit. Thlsr of course, is not literal
ly true. There are many cows' here that pass the 240-pound mark.

; The. great need. is for fewer cows and better ones. The 140

The above from the Eugene Register is good and timely
And the Oreiron dairymen are constantly improving their
herds, and making for their
the best dairying country in the world ; .
In which devoted and more or less unselfish work they
have reason to regard themselves as lacking the gratitude and
appreciation of a majority of their fellow citizens, as snown
by the vote of last November, when the coconut cow of the
. Orient was given trie right of way over the wonderful queens
of . our home herds. , - -

to get a square deal for the vari
ous classes of creditors, but it
must be done; and when the road
is refinanced, the water must, be
taken out of It. !
There is the eternal question of
consolidation with 'another road,
and we are Inclined to believe in
the near future there la going to
be a working agreement between
all the railroads of the country
with regional interests j soC there
will he aa entire elimination of

need all- these great lines," and
there is business enough to sup
port ; them, but they cannot con
tinue paying dividends on watered
stock. There Is such a demand
for reduction or freight rates that
we must get back. to first prin
ciples. The transportation act of
1920 authorizes consolidation
when voluntarily sought, and em
phasis Is placed upon the volun
tary. The commission, in ' fact,
employed an expert adviser to
work out a plan of general region
al consolidations. His plan pro
posed a merger of the Milwaukee
with the Great Northern and of
the Burlington wllh the Northern
Pacific. -The Northern Pacific
probably could have been led, with
little coaxing, to agree to that
plan, for the ' Burlington; now
owned jointly by the Northern' Pa

to tide over Its owners through
several lean years. But the Great

The Great Northern 'i prefers
(and the Northern Pacific acquies

Northern Pacific and the Burling

now asking the commission to ap
prove that plan.
Apparently the I commission
would ; prefer some . plan that
would take care of the Milwaukee,
and now; that the Milwaukee is to
be reorganized and refinanced, it
is probable that the! commission
will defer action on the merger
application of the three "Hill sys

yet be found to effect a merger
more nearly in accordance with
its own plans.
INVITED CRITICISM
Will Hays Is anxious to have
constructive criticism about the
movies. He Is showing an inclina
tion to consult the people and
give them what they want. The
movies have become such a large
part of oar lives that the ques
tion of their purity and decency
becomes Important. .' ; ,
v Fred Stone, who Is certainly
one , of the greatest actors in the
world, declares that the people do
want clean plays and clean mov
ies, 'and he charges that the vitiat
ed tastes that the producers talk
about catering to Is a figment of
the ImAglnatlOn-T" His belief
Is that 'tf rwe haacleaner plays
and better plays" they would all
be better patronized.
The . Statesman is very much
for the movies. They have come
to serve such a large place in the
entertainment of the people and
have entered so largely into our
lives that it is highly important
to improve them In every possible
way. It is the j business of the
public to assist ; -MrJ Hays and
those producers .back of him in
improving the quality, of the mov
ies in every possibe way. U
A NOTABLE BEQUEST ;
A man died in Portland recent
ly and bequeathed to the public
schools his entire fortune of $200,
000. In view of the fact that the
people pay more taxes for school
purposes than ,for, anything else,
the wisdom of this' will be ques
tioned. But those who are famil
iar with school conditions," even
the common schools, know . there
is more ' and more - grumbling
against .the .school taxes. ', The
people know , they have : to have
some taxes, . but some day before
very Jong .they are going to chal
lenge every tax avenue, and when
this is done the schools will, suf
fer. The common schools are go
ing to need endowments just as
badly as! the schools for higher
education. ; t
ENFORCING THE LAW
In Seattle recently a jury re
fused to convict a drunken driver.
The judge -V denounced the jury
from the bench ' and pronounced
the verdict "a travesty, not alone
on Justice, but on common sense."
He declared, that this verdict
would serve to encourage reckless
drunken drivers."
On the same day the chief 'of
police suspended a police sergeant
because he said there was a ten
dency for the police to refuse to
testify 'f ully In certain trials. ';.
, The demoralizing consequences
of an indulgent attitude toward
vice and crime penetrate innumer
able, ramifications; " No one can
foresee the long train of penalties
-whose son or daughter may be
debauched, who will be the next
victim of a d run ten driver. Open-
town conditions : attract undesir
ables as molasses draw flies. A
city that flirts with that doctrine
must expect to pay the penalties.
SOMETHING NEEDED

tic out saelt by the wagon Isada
It must t necessary to- do t :r."

thing, then they -are entitled to
careful protection, and they should

en and Other sport propositions.
A DISAPPOINTMENT
, The Teapot Dome case is a dis
appointment. The government at
this distance does not appear to
have made a case against the de
fendants and the government was
confronted' with a mighty stiff
case. There is little question about
the' guilt of the defendant,' but
there Is a mighty i grave question
about how far it has been proved.

also, but who has ever, heard of
in overproduction in timber? .
Could we not as well have some
