Jos. 1:8. CORPORATION FORM FOR SALEM . Every one who has had experience in administering the municipal affairs in Salem agrees that this city should have a commission form of government ; . But a commission form of government has come to mean a number of things. There are several kinds. When thi3 form came into vogue in this country, 20 or more years ago, a commission form meant something like that of Portland, Oregon, where they have three commissioners, each one administering some department of the city's affairs, but all of them sitting together like a city council for the making of laws or ordinances And thus they have the same men both making and administering the laws, which is against ancient and honor able theories. t. There have arisen several adptations of this kind of v. commission form of city government in the United States. But more recently there is a strong trend towards what is termed the corporation form. This might be applied to Salem without much change, by retaining the city councilmen representing the wards of the city, and the selection of a city manager, either by the mayor or by the mayor with the consent of the city council, or by the city council itself The city manager to select his assistants in all depart mejits,.each4one being accountable to him; ju3t as the board of directors of a corporation selects the president, and the president chooses the officials who, under his general super vision, carry on the business of the corporation. The city council would make the laws or ordinances. TJie city manager, through the officials under him, would administer them. He would be responsible for the adminis tration of the city's affairs. v The writer believes this kind of a commission form of government could be carried in Salem ; that the voters would approve of it. And perhaps it would be the best form. THE SUGAR INDUSTRY SERIES j Article 3; Indirect Benefits Great as will be the direct benefits to Salem and the surrounding country of sugar factories in this city, the in directCbenefits will be still greater For they will be many and far reaching. , F L. Crawford, secretary of the Michigan Sugar com pany,; owning eight of the 16 beet .sugar factories in that state speaking before the Michigan Wholesale Grocers asso ciation at Detroit on July 15, gave out some startling infor mation on this point, excerpts from his address showing the following: ' Last year, the 16 Michigan sugar plants, carrying an investment of $25,500 ,000; showed a slicing (consuming) capacity of 17,000 tons of beets daily and an average normal daily capacity pack of refined sugar of 4,225,000 pounds. For the beets sliced the factories paid the Michigan farmers $10,250,000, and in addition to this cash for their beets, the farmers took from their fields a crop of feed in sugar beet tops of a value of $1,250,000, and there accrued to the farm ers invisible benefits covered by increased yield of other crops following beets over those from land where beets had not been grown of a conservative value of $2,000,000, giving In all a valued, for this one crop alone of $13,500,000. h j In addition to these direct benefits to the beet growers, the' Michigan beet sugar industry maintained without ex pense to" the farmers an agricultural staff of 225 men who constantly circulated through the farm communities and taught scientific agricultural methods and assisted the farm ers in solving their agronomic problems of every kind. Furth ermore, the beet sugar companies went into the labor markets X)i the country at their own expense and brought to the farming communities of Michigan more than 10,000 agricul tural laborers to assist in growing and harvesting the beet, corn,. hay, bean, potato, wheat and other crops produced in that state. This service is of untold value to Michigan farm ers for it is a fact that since the war and the passing of the present immigration laws the farmer has been forced to bid against profitable and highly organized industry' and. the task of securing agricultural workers for the production, of foods in the rural districts isT today, and from now on will become increasingly, one of the most serious and vital prob lems facing our nation. . The farmers of Michigan, as most of those in other states who grow sugar beets are partners in the beet sugar .industry, sharing in the profits to the highest price sugar may go, but are not forced to participate in the losses. The price of other crops is susceptible to more or less violent fluctuations. Within 30 days after the farmer starts deliyer- 1 ng his beets he receives a cash payment for all beets delivered . during the month and this payment is repeated at the end , 'of each" month during the harvesting period. The price does not slump. Furthermore, the sugar companies will, when ' . necessary, advance to the farmer his seed, fertilizer, agricul- tural implements and cash for the labor necessary for the . production of the beet crop and in many instances have !helpqd the; grower purchase the farm. f i v In addition to tho benefits mentioned nd wtiich go llirectly to the farmer, the Michigan' sugar 'manufacturers purchase from the railroads annually from $2,500,000 to $3,- an W.

It will last forfever And it will give very large contributions to building up and maintaining live stock and swine breeding and dairying and poultry raising, all of which industries make! for pros perity and contentment on the land, and for permanent wealth both in the cities and Such is the picture. ! We may look forward to such a picture in the Willamette valley, with a greater number of beet sugar factories than the 16 in Michigan. !

"w Clarence Bowne took a Lake Labish grower up to the West Stayton irrigation tracts yester day. He saw some muskmelons grown under irrigation that he thought were squashes. That is surely a recommendation for the irrigated tracts, when a Lake Labish farmer caa make such a mistake- for the Lake Labish lands are hard to beat on musk melons, or most anything else. At the Bonney clan meeting at the fair grounds Sunday a story was told of one of the Bonney pioneer family women who crossed the plains in IS 50. She brought some peas in their covered wagon. for her garden that was to be, in. far off Oregon. The family set tled where Woodburn stands now. She planted her peas, and shortly I hereafter she discovered a rooster scratching them tip and swalloW ing them. She caught the rooster end chopped his head off and took the peas out of his craw and re planted them, and put a high picket fence around them. And she started pea growing in that neighborhood with those peas. She had not carried those peas across the plains, in a Journey of six months, to have them de stroyed.
