THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT
. "President Coolidge took the right course, when he re
fused to sanction a cut in tine duty on imported sugar from
1.76 cents to approximately 1.23 cents a pound. In the pres
ent tariff the treasury finds approximately $40,0OO,0Q0 a year
to add to the needed revenues of the country. The imposi
tion does help the cane and beet sugar growers in the United
States and if they do not get protection they;must'quit.
l4The plain simple truth is that a tariff oH imported sugar
is an ideal tax. j"7 i r -, ' ' j . ';
; . 'To reduce the tax on sugar would force the treasury to
look elsewhere for $40,000,000 to say nothing, of bringing
liard times, if not ruin to those who are now engaged in grow
'ing sugar cane and sugar beets in the United States. If they
were ruined such help as they have been giving; in the work
of filling the treasury would be transferred to others.
"Indirect taxes are less painful for most of us to exper
ience than are those like the levies on income. The duty; on
sugar works no hardships and to lower it merely for the ulti
mate benefit of Cuban sugar . producers j would be un
American." i
s .... ... - .'".:
The above are paragraphs from an editorial article in the
New York Commercial of June 17th. .' !
The benefit to "Cuban sugar producers" from a lowering
of the rate on raw sugars, which was asked of President Cool
idge under the elastic provisions of the tariff law, would not
be ultimate '"-: '; - u : - ; ' i
It would be immediate. It would -accrue at once in the
fnrm of $40,000,000 a vear savimr , -; -
. . . '

or control the bulk of the. sugar, plantations :of Cuba- : v , '
The benefit would be immediate, to the extent - of " the
v40,000,000 annually, and to that small lunch only';andas
soon as the beet and cane sugar; producers and manufacturefs
of the United States were driven out of business, the sugar
prices would be all the traffic would bear; and the '$40,000,000
annually would be only a starter. ; ' ' . ' . ;"r
. , The people of the United States must become self suf
ficient in sugar.' Then there will be no danger , of the small
Wall Street bunch getting over aiy of .their fine work for
their own benefit, in the way - of tariff reduction." An ade
quate protective tariff will become, a fixed and permanent
policy, as it should be. And Salem must have a beet sugar
factory, or several, and the Willamette Valley a dozen to a
score of them. r v ?
FINE BOYHOOD
l, - The good old summer days are here and with them-the
i life of the woods, stream, beach and camp J Ypun America's
plans for the ahnuaioutingfc including fishing, the outdoor
swim and the campfire, are about to be realized.
Organized effort is under way to make possible atsmall
1 cost, vacation privileges for these boyV and irli whose plans
f and home conditions permit a iregular outiEgl Jr Among these
organizations planning vacations for youth are the girl scouts,
boy scouts, campfire girls and Y.M.C.A. boy's division.
The plans of every such organization include leaders of
high moral character, athletic director, physician and aides.
Full camp equipment is employed in the comfort and con-
venience of s the campers. I
'.t One of the famous Y.M.C.A. camps of Oregon this year
is the Mariok-Salem aggregation which will "pitch tents". July
23 near Neskowin where there is fresh and salt water, fine
beach, forest and all the other features essential to real camp
life. 1 1 'Ki !" i- ' vl-: :s--iv: ;;-
The values of this kind of vacation for boys are inestim
able. Under leadership educated Christian men, experts'
in boys work, these lads will receive the benefits of clean,
wholesome environment, stimulating recreation and Christian
training. The schedule of classes in Bible study, first aid,
sex hygiene, nature study, swimming and life saving, is as
surance of a high type of citizenship training. Careful and
expert supervision of games
while results and minimize all
N The Y.M.C.A. is thus rendering a splendid service to the
1 pnmmimitv. the hov nnd tht homes thev rePresent. And the
,
" boys themselves will possess
ience, clearer visions of life's
for service than they would likely otherwise obtain. '

NEW LMMIGRATION LAW ,
Since the two percent quota immigration law went into
effect' ten months ago, a larger number of common laborers
have left the United States
From July 1921 to April 1925 there were 27,908 admitted
and during this same period 44,750 of this same class of
laborers left the country,

A total of 242,965 persons were admitted during the
first ten months under the new quota law as against 637,602
during the same period: the previous year. This shows a
decline of 62 per cent in total immigration.
It is too early perhaps to estimate fairly accurately the
future effects of this cutting down, of the immigration but it
has the immediate effect of stabilizing our growth of popu
lation and of sustaining the present high wage level.
.iThe farming industry .will be affected less than those
employing-general labor. It is noticeable that here the per-
centage of those who return to
and since the "homestead" no longer offers opportunity lor
ownership, the problem of employment should generally pre

The club leaders of today are the agricultural leaders of
tomorrow. The farm and theTcity both benefit from their in
telligent progress in livestock; jrain, vegetable and poultry
production. Encouragement offered them is well directed.

I EDITORIALS OF THE 1
PEOPLE
Editor Salem Statesman:
When I was a boy of 12 I lived
-with my ' widowed . mother and
three brothers in Earlville, Madi
son county, N. Y. 1 was next to
the youngest of the family. . My.
father enlisted, in Company K,
146th N. Y, volunteer infantry and
soon thereafter died, leaving my
mother to care for us, and she
was compelled to work out by the
day. I remember, and always
will- while on this earth, a sermon
that was preached to me during
that time. A man came to our
home and asked mother if she had
a boy that he could hire to help
him do his "chores; he said that
he lived about 21 miles from Earl
ville, and he gave mother the
names of several people that she
was acquainted with as reference,
so mother thought Jt would be all
right for" me to go to work for
the man, so it was arranged be
tween them that I should go the
following week. ; 7 '
When the day arrived for me
to 5 go. mother gaveme' a''l(inch,'4
and I started out "and" walked
every step of the way. There was
no automobiles those days to pick
me up, and the farmers were busy
with their crops, and" when I ar
rived at my destination I learned
that the Aman who had hired me
had moved away, and no one
seemed r,to know where. : '.'
Well, tired and hungry, I start
ed 'back home. I had gone only
a little way before it began to
get dark, and I was so tired and
hungry it just seemed that I could
not walk any farther. I saw three
houses just a little way. off and
one of them had a light.. I de
cided to stop and see if Tcouldn't
stay there all night. I knocked
at the door and a good, motherly
looking woman came to the door.
I asked her If I could May all
night. She hesitated and looked
at me for -a few seconds, then she
opened the door for me to come
In ; and be; jwtaied: and . ald that
her husband was at a neighbor's
and when he returned 1
might ask him. ' ' i
1'Iai jusa-' few: minntes a noise
was heard at the back of the house
and the lady remarked that her
husband was coming, so she went
out and met him. He came in
and sat down hy my side, and
asked me what he could do for
me. I told him that I wanted to
stay with him all night. He said,
"we have but a small home here;
we have but wo sleeping rooms,
ope of them J and ma. occupy, and
his daughter,: who - was stopping
with a girl friend for the night,
occupied the other onet What I
am thinking; about Is this; my
daughter , has her personal effects
and her clothes scattered around
In- her rooni. We never pay any
attention to them;, they are hers,
and she values them very highly.
Now then, if we should let you
have her roonj for the night, and
you should see something that you
would like, very well to have, and
you felt sure. that we would never
miss it, would you take it? In
other words, if you could, would
you?" I told the man that I would
not touch one thing of hers if he
would let me stay.
Well, the good lady set me a
nice lunch, and the man sat down
by my side and returned thanks
for me, ana alter 1 had finished
my lunch I iasked the man if I
could go right to bed. as I wanted
to get started back home early,
so that my mother would not
worry about me, if the man had
notified her for me not to come.
The man showed me Into the room
and as he lit the light I could see
things lying around the room, and
after he closed the dooYX'startd
to take my; clothes (bff,' and ,in
I was ready to gotd bed I started
to take the pillow Slips' of?,':and
they were so pretty'aridhey were
hers I could not put m hand on
them, because I told him I would
not touch one of her things in the
room. " I stood lookidg at thenu
and also at the beautiful spread
for a moment, then I put on my
clothes and sat down on the floor
in a corner of the room. ' I heard
nothing until the next morning,
when the man, came and shook
me to wake me up, and when I
was awake the man asked me why
I didn't go to bed, and I told him
that I had promised him I'would
not touch any of his daughter's
things. The-man began to cry.
His wife came in and he told her
what I had done betweefr sobs,
and she cried and they soon had
me crying.; for I was afraid they
thought I had done something
wrong. Finally the man said to
me: "My dear boy, I preached
you a sermon last night, and this
morning you have preached me
one that I shall never forget.
Come with me and have your
breakfast, then I will hitch up
and take you home. I must meet
your dear mother and confess to
her for the sermon I preached to
you last night."
