- PROVINCIALISM OF A GREAT NEWSPAPER
. "October, 1925, promises to be a notable month in his
tory First came the adoption of the security pact at Locarno,
assunngr peace in Europe among the nations recently at war,
and then the Greco-Bulgarian outbreak . gave the League of
Nations an opportunity- to show that it has the power -and
the intent to enforce its mandates upon countries that thrieat
x en to get out of hand in their petty squabbling over trifles.
And last of all, the weather gave such an exhibition of snow
and cold as to make the month notable in the meteorological
records for a long time to come." ' f i
The above is an editorial paragraph from the Philadel
phia Record of November, first. The Record is one of the
greatest newspapers of the Unitecl States and of the world in
point of circulation C v
Yet in the above it shows a peculiar provincialism.
What' weather? That of a small section of the United
States '- ' rj-
And surely not the weather of this part of the country
For in Salem there was wonderfully mild and fine weath
.: er throughout the whole month of October; and still this was
-. not unusual. In fact, beautiful October weather is the usual
' thing here. :'-r- ,
invade even the towns, raiding the lawns and obtaining food
wherever they can. Thousands of them literally starve to
death every winter. The spectacle of these starving crea
tures is gruesome to say the least. '
In order to decimate the great number ofthese sorry
animals, the Humane organization of the state contemplates a
round-up and sale of thousands of them to be used in the
fertilizer plant now nearing completion and owned by the
Shlesser BrdB., of Portland. This plant which cost $75,000
is the most modern of its kind in the United States conven
ient, capacious, and absolutely sanitary. Here will be manu
factured chicken feed, fox food and fertilizer. It will be
possible to handle twenty-five hundred Worses a month; but
even at this rate of consumption it will take several years
to eliminate these unfortunate and prolific animals from the
range. The operation of several plants similar to that de
scribed here is also contemplated. ;"
; The vast number of these horses in the eight counties
referred -to is only a small part or the total number, in the
state. It is estimated that in Wallowa, Baker, Umatilla and
Malheur there are thousands more.; - :
They are owned by stock men who desire to obtain some
thing for them. ' They have agreed with the Humane officers
of the state to deliver them at the railroad station at $5 a
head. The fertilizer plants will; accept them -at that price.
"A Hence there will be beginning the middle of this month, a
continuous migration of these creatures out of eastern Oregon
from three or four points. Both the fertilizer people and the
state Humane Society will have ; representatives in the field"
to look after the shipping.
To substitute on the ranges of Eastern Oregon, for these
animals, others of food type as sheep and cattle or even to
substitute for them well-bred draft horses is economic gain
for the owners "and for the state. And to utilize these crea
tures as planned creates new and increased economic valued
while to save them from death from starvation is a humane
duty. . 1-: .
In the solution of this problem the .Oregon, Kumane
Society is rendering timely and commendable service,

'ALL INTERESTED IN SUGAR
Bits Tor Breakfast I
"In commenting on the value of the American beet sugar
industry as a check upon foreign sugar domination of the
American market, the Salem, Oregon, Statesman quotes auth
entic figures to show that jhome "produced" beet sugar now
supplies over one-sixth of the consumption of the United
States. A reasonable duty on foreign sugar permits our
domestic 'beet, sugar? industry to exist where otherwise it
would beiwiped out due to cheap labor foreign competition.
"It is not the desire of this country to erect a tariff wall
that will prevent foreign trade but in a case like sugar, a
necessity of life, it is good business to so equalize conditions
that the home industry can exist and save us from being at
the mercy of a foreign supply. ,
- "Sugar beets are among the best products the farmer .can
grpwo Their production does not wear out the soil, but in
stead, adds to its fertility What we need is a large produc
tion of sugar beets. This would be of immense benefit to the
farmers as well as consumers. As we all must use sugarthis
id an industry in which we should all take an interest."-The
Manufacturer. : : ';. '.' . '
.But the present Home supply of sugar is not something
- of which we as a nation ought to fell proud -
In fact, we should be ashamed of it, on account of its
relatively small tonnage,' compared with our whole supply.
We produce at home about a million tons annually of beet
sugar, while we will consume this year close' to six millions
of tons of sugar ' J ' i:'- Vr :
And nearly all the rest comes from Cuba '
And comes in the raw state, and has the advantage of
... a-20 per cent differention in tariff duty, this differenital
wx-being general on articles coming sfrom ;Cuba r granted . after
.we save Cuba her indenendence. in order to encourage her
; , . .. j. ... l
industries. .

fc ' owners of the cane sugar refineries along the Atlantic sea-
r board r:-V ; ' i:.V : i :
' And it is a disgrace that" every! member of both the Sen-
c- ate and House ought to feel, in letting that bunch' of com-
a mercial corsairs keep on getting away with it, to the tune t)f
. many millions ordollarsa year, and to the detriment of our
beet sugar interests - -; 1 ,
Among whom are some 300,000 farmers producing the
beets'. -,,..'. ' -J , , . - " '
The general sugar tariff should be higher and it should
be so written in the bond that it is certain to remain higher,
with no favorites to be played, like the Wall Street bunch
;r controlling the Cuban sugar industry; an industry that keeps
the Cuban producers in a state of peonage..
V A straight business administration :of all. the depart
ments, at Washington would result, in the development in
short time of our beet sugar industry to the point of supply
ing all of. our needs; giving at the same time the greatest
boost to our live stock and dairying industries-that the world
has ever witnessed l
i -And Salem would get several beet sugar factories, and
the Willamette valley cities and towns a score; of them."

End fined for bootlegging, a few

"canned" without ceremony. The
state government must set a dif

on its payrolls.
' That should be the absolute
rule, without exception, and un
derstood by every one. Noblesse

USES FOR, RANGE HORSES'
The problem of what to do with the droves of wild horses
covering the ranges of eastern Oregon, is" indeed intricate; In
an investigation recently made by the Oregon Humane
Society in eight counties, it was found that there are approx
imately 120,000 of these animals trying to find a living in the
high desert region about forty miles from water, which fac
forces them to make an eighty, mile trip twice a week.
These; animals are worth practically nothing except for
chicken feed and fertilizer. During the winter weather when
the ground is covered with snow, forced by starvation they
been buying great quantities of
lumber in this country, suitable
for constructing battle airplanes,
while the United States govern
ment has not been in the market
for such lumber at all. Are we
living in a fool's paradise, Tef using
to join and make strong the
League of Nations, and paying no
attention to the preparations for
war of other countries?
