B. Giesy last night spoke before a meeting of taxpayers in the Richmond school district, the conference end ing in a' motion that the chamber of commerce be asked to. appoint a committee to work with teachers in bringing the matter favorably before public attention. "We pay men who sweep the streets as much as we do our teachers," declared the mayor. "Our fire and police chiefs get $150 a month, none too much, and they get their money the year round. Compare these salaries, which are none too high, with what the teachers receive! "It is a shame to ask talented persons to take .special training for the adequate guidance of youth," and then pay them the present pitiful salaries. What In ducement do we offer good teach ers? And what reward ; for faith ful service? . ' "For the'first year's Service our teachers receive 1110 a month for nine months. ' The second year they get 1115, or an increase of S5.

W. Timpson, Washington manager of the Utah4Idaho Sugar company, j I , '-'M'l i j !" " . This proposition wks made to the secretaries; of the Salem Chamber of Commerc and the Dallas Chamber of Commerce, and the contract forms will be ready in the next few days.N r " The beet seed should be planted in April, and it is proposed by the Salem and Dallas commer- cial bodies to carry ; on an inten sive campaign, and get at it at once a campaign for i acreage; preferably small tracts, running from five to ten acres. Mr. Timpson was the principal speaker at the Salem Chamber of Commerce noon luncheon yester day, and he told the audience that he had confidence in the future Of the Willamette valley m a great beet sugar manufacturing indus try . I But that he thought our farm ers were not ready yet to under take the growing of sugar beets on a large enough scale to justify the construction of the first fac tory. After the luncheon, however, he made a proposition for the growing of 500 acres or more of sugar beets in the Salem district this year. It is necessary that there be, a minimum of 500 acres, because that is the smallest num ber that would justify the send ing of a man to have supervision over the planting of the seed, and the making of the proper pro visions for receiving the beets for shipment But the Bellingham factory can handle several times 500 acres! grown here; grown under the proper conditions. ' That factory has a capacity of 100,000 tons of beets, and it had only 20,000 tons last xeaTj, makingSO.Opo bags of sugar. - " r ' The proposition of Mr. Timp son s company is to give the farm ers of the Salem district exactly the same contract as is made with the growers of the Bellingham dis trict, with the exception that the growers of the Salem district will be obliged to absorb 50 cents a ton of the freight to Bellingham. The railroad companies . and ' the sugar company will absorb the balance. j ' . Four new beet sugar factories were built last year on the Great Northern railroad, and In each of their territories the first sugar beet growing had been done by farmers shipping long distances to factories; mostly as high as 300 miles j And in each of those cases the farmers had to absorb more than 50 cents a ton of the freight. - .7 So the farmers of the Salem district are now offered the most favorable contract ever offered In this country, to, growers hnsi far away from the factory' as Salem is from Bellinghami 7y ? The contract offered to the Sa lem district growers is to.be a par ticipating i contractu ; That is, it will be 50-50 between the grower and the factory, each getting! half, the net profits after the sugar is sold. jThe grower however, ia guaranteed the $6 a ton on the delivery, of his beets, less the 50 cents a ton absorbed by Salem district growers. If . sugar ia cheap, he may get $1.50 - a ton more, and if it is high ne may get $3 a ton more, or even a! larger amount. Any way,! he . will have his $6 less the 50 cents a ton, and he will have half the net brofits, whatever they are.
