The1 present unrest in the west in connection with agricultural conditions, was described by Mr. Dawes as not based on a demand that agriculture have preferential treatment over other industries, but that agriculture have equal treatment with them under he law." Tjiat Is a part of the news report of a speech delivered in Denver Saturday by Vice President Dawes. It is a correct statement of the attitude of the west. It is a correct statement of the west's purpose, so frequently misunderstood in the east. The- west has asked no favoritism under the law such as the east Is enjoying now. It has not asked that agriculture be accorded favor above -any beyond what the eastern manufacturer has been enjoying. It has' not sought senate seats through the debauching process of expenditure of millions to get more than it should get from govern ment.. It has- merely asked that it get equal treatment to that given the eastern manufacturing and flnnacial interests. That, the west has not received. It has no tariff to protect its agricultural Industry, despite the protestations of thdse who say it has. Itj-eeeived no such favors in the tax system as were received by the" manufacturing and financial east. It gets no profits created by law sneh as the east is enjoying. Government has overlooked the west. Naturally the west protests and rises to fight for equality. Natur ally it seeks to protect itself. Naturally it demands that government deal equally with all sections of the country. And it is only asking what Vlco President Dawes says it is asking that "agriculture have equal treatment under the law." It objects to paying a bounty to the east on' what it boys while receiving no bounty on what it sells. The above, from the Portland Journal fnf last night, is not true, as to the statement that the west has no tariff tu protect its agricultural industry For it has tariff rates that are in the main adequate to protect the jiroducts of agriculture. .'; ' "t,ut in the cases of some major crops parts of which have to be sold on the world markets, the tariff protection is defeated by the surplus sWheat, for instance. We give wheat a protective tariff rate of 42 cents a bushel. That is high. But we produce "about 850,000,000 bushels of wheat that are consumed off of flour far.boUtYodCOOO.OOd bushels being taken by the home markets, and 150,000,000 bushels going to foreign markets And the foreign market largely rules the price of the ? whole f crop. That is what the McNary, farm relief bill is designed to correct. It would set up the machinery of com i?pulsory arbitration, so that every bushel of wheat sold would be handled by a government commission, and the loss on the 150,000,000 bushels made up by a charge on every bushel sold in the American market. That would automatically , make the American price about 42 cents a bushel above the ? foreign world market price, and the American growers would , pay the loss on the 150,000,000, from the higher price they T would receive on the 700,000,000 bushels sold in the American & market. That looks to the writer to be the only sure way to make the tariff protection effective, in such crops. That would do it. And it will likely be tried. Then, if our federal government will organize on a bus iness basis to make the United States self sufficient in wool, mohair, sugar, and all other farm and orchard crops that we produce, there will very soon be no exportable surplus of wheat. And the same, thing will soon take place as to all other major crops. . That would be common sense business methods applied to ther United States as a whole as a going business con cern'iust like a great private corporation would do. ' Fantastic, does the doubting Thomas say? v Yes, he does say it. But the greatest economists in the world say it is workable; that it can be done, though it has never been done. - THE SUGAR INDUSTRY SERIES f - 4 Article 4; Our Irrigable Lands One of the first questions asked by men looking towards the Salem district as a place for new beet sugar factories is this: Can the lands in the district be irrigated? ' The answer is yes. Station Circular 57 of the Oregon Agricultural College, issued in August, 1924, on "Supplemen-. tal Irrigation for the Willamette Valley," the author being ProfV.W. L'. Powers, chief of the department of soils, carries this paragraph :-. ''Soils best suited to supplemental irrigation in the Wil lamette valley are those that are free working, without being too heavy or sticky on the one hand or too coarse and sieve like onthe other hand. The sandy loam soils occurring along the Willamette nd other stream bottoms, er soils belonging to the JsTewberjr and Chehalis series, and the higher types of soils on the valley floor, such as Willamette loam or silt loam, are suitable for irrigation. Soil surveys of two-thirds of this valley indicate that perhaps HALF A MILLION ACRES, or about one-sixth of the improved land in the valley, will give good, response to supplemental irrigation." The rest of the circular is taken up with methods of getting the water onto the lands, including the use of large , or small pumping plants on streams or at wells, and the net profis that may be made with a number of our well known crops :by the use of water for irrigation, even at considerable cost, among which are root crops "that make their maximum growth late in the season," including, of course, beets. - That is authoritative.- r3alem district that may be TUB dREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON St., fialm, Oregon V.

We have a large area in the irrigated, some of it even with water secured by pumping, and that will reppond to this expense with increased yields large enough jto more than justify the extra costi j "Anacreage large enough to justify the jbuilding of a number it sugar factories at Salem. There are three l?et sugar factories at Bay City and West Bay Cy, Mich., and several others owned there, and located near there. Trio Woctnrn Owomn Ilpvptonment pomnativ owns 6i)40 acres of land in the Santiam irrigation district, its offices being in the Couch building, Portland; and ,the Flaxland Development company, with offices in the Mafspnic Temple building, Salem, owns 20,232 acres in that district. That makes over 27,000 acres of land that may be irrigated, run ning from the Turner neighborhood 'about eight miles from Salem to beyond Stayton, about 20 miles from $alem. Prac tically all of this 27,000 acres is ready for the plp)v. There is an abundance of water for irrigation purposes, caning mostly from the Santiam river, -with its sources in the perpetual snows around Mount Jefferson. This land, alone vith certain irrigation water supply absolutely assured, is capable of pro ducing enough beets for two or three factories. The largest and best hop yards in the Salem district use water each year, or nearly every year, for irrigation, and in most (cases pump the supply from streams or lakes. Irrigation in; this district is coming into more general use every year. The; best author ities are convinced that the Willamette valley is to become a great irrigation district, however absurd that would have sounded to the old timers who thought they hacj settled in a country where it rained "thirteen months in the ear." There are seasons when we need little or no irrigation even for such crops as get their major growth in the late summer season. But they are few, for, fortunately, we have both a wet season for storing moisture for crops and a dry season for harvesting the crops, and supplemental irrigation is needed Jor a number of our crops almost every year at some time during the months of June, July and August, and for some; crops, some years, later. , -TOT THIRTY-TWO When t lie minister, his. conclud ing words spoken, was gathering up his notes preparatory to an nouncing the collection., Sylvia rose dramatically to her feet. Sie could endure the situation no longer. Scorn blazing in her eye, she swept the sea of faces before ler with a swift glance of con tempt, , then marched out of t he church. A shocked silence lay upon the congregation even her father seemed to share in the gen eral consternation. When she reached home, half an hour later, he found Sylvia packing. "What are you going to do, child?" he asked, gazing at her with a iook of deep concern. "I'm leaving," she told him. "I can't stand this wretched , little town any longer. .Miserable hypo crites condemning me, barring my pictures, for something I haven't done, all the while trying to make me a lot worse. I hate them. I'd be better off in New York, where nobody knows who I am." Mr. McKenna sat on the bed. his eyes very tender. "I guess you would, Mary, dear," he said. "Small towns are always cruel in their judgnients. New York is to big to care." "I wouldn't mind so much," Sylvin stormed on, "if I'd done anything. Vh:it makes me so an gry is that they don't give me a chance." "I suppose by 'they'," Mr. Mc Kenna said softly, "you mean the white sepulchres of our growing young metropolis Alvin Mercer and the rest?" "Yes. I haven't told you what Askinir me to go to New York with v v i i hit- ! irvi iti . ihem,rtpTf week-ends offering me pretata3-tr'ea'tlng me as though 1 werje, a cbmmon woman of the rtreetss The hounds!" "Didn't I warn you, Mary child, how ft wouM be? Didn't I tell you they would try to bunt you do wn ?" "Yes. And I wouldn't believe you. I thought you were just cynical." Mr. McKenna lit a match, ap plied it to his pipe. "Mary,'" he said, "you're a young girl. I hoped you would never have to know how rotten the world is. Every father, I sup pose, feels that way would like to keep his daughters clean and sweet and trusting. But you're in the fire, now, and you've got to know the truth. "I don't want you to feel. Mary dear, that Millersburg is any worse than any other small town. They're all alike. When I see that bunch of hypocrites sitting in judgment oa a decent girl like you it makes my blood boil. I don't wonder you walked out on them. And Understand me it isn't the church I'm blaming. There are plenty of decent people inside it and out. It's the hypo crites, wherever you find them( that I condemn. The 'holier than thou bunch the professional re formers. Always ready to judge somebody else, never thinking how rotten they are themselves. I'm rather glad, dear, that you have decided to go to New York. This place would kill you. I have an old friend in one of the big Fifth Avenue bookstores. I'll give Smith & Watkins for tire serv ice at a lower cost. ' Vulcanizing and retreading, tnbe repairing..

"I don't want tj run across him," Sylvia whispered. "At least not now. Promise the you won't tell him where I an. Or anybody else." jj "I promise," Mr. McKenna laughed. "And maylK' that is be.st. What you need is to be alone You'll never have J t hat chance here. Millersburg isjjall right but dull. Even its vicej is dull. No imagination. I've ojtton thought, child, that if I wera going to be a terrible sinner 1'dj try at least to sin gaily, brilliantly, in the sun light. Even in the light of public-, ity that shines on places like Hol lywood. 1 don t think I d be aJ sneak, a hypocrite abput it, strain ing at gnats and swallowing cam els. I suppose you'llisay I'm jusi an old cynic, but I know life particularly the kin of life you find in towns like ilillersburg and I'm glad you're! gong to get out of it. The worst tsin of all, in mv opinion, is the Mn of hypo crisy." ) Sylvia dropped th lingerie she was throwing into h4r trunk and, i;oing over to her father, kissed him. "You're such an oljl dear. Dad," sh. whspered. "Why don't yon give up the bookshop and come along to New York wjth me?" Mr. McKenna gaze through the dusty window, his eyes traveling down a long road. jj "Twenty years ago I might have," he said, "but now. I've taken root, here among my books like an old tree. Hut you haven't Mary child. jThank God you haven't. And I don't want to. Go see the world- live. And take my blesing with you. That's about all I have to offer." "It's all I want," ! Sylvia said, closing her trunk. IJfe, she had begin to think, was very like a "movie. ' with censors on every hand, ready to cut Out the baby clothes and forget all about the babies to look on sex as sin and forget that without it the race could not go on fjeternal old women, like the Bourbons, learn ing nothing, forgetting nothing, finding a vicarious joy in snoop ing, judging, condemning. By some strange quirk of fate it was the next afternoon that Steve Hollins, now jjfinally sup plied with Sylvia's home address, arrived in Millerburgl He found Mr. McKenna listingj jsome newly arrived books. j j "My name is HollWs," he said. "I waiH to see Mar.'' Mr. MeKenna mastered his sur prise, led the way to pis study "My -daughter is net here," he he told, Steve, wheij alone. 7-- j "Where is she?" Mr. McKenna cons .they were dered. pnf- fing at his pine. It ad not es- caped him that Sylvia was in love with Steve Hollins; tie girl's con fidences, fragmentary! though they had been, had told hjih that. And a glance at the young, man before him left no doubt in his mind that her was just the cort: 6f a son-in- law he would like to have. But there was his prouilp to Sylvia not to tell anyone where she had gone. "Why do you want he asked. to see her?" To ast her to marry me. She ran away from me in New York" k. ra re I T-k . i - ' uo you Know wny sne ran away?" Mr. McKenniji Inquired sortiy. "Yes. I read all about. It in? a magazine. I . don't - teUeve fit, uamnea rot!" i r- t Mr. McKenna,thrust oat a hairy jib1 'freckled hand,- ' "Shake, young - man!" he ex claimed. "Neither ido 1." And proceeded to tell Sylvia's story. Steve Hollins stamped nervous ly about the little room. "Why didn't she confide in me?" he asked. "Why didn't she look on me as a friend?" "Mary's proud." Mr. McKenna knew the answer to that. "Not one "to ask favors. Maybe, having no proof, she thought you'd doubt her." "Hell's bells!" Steve was get ting angry. "I don't need proof, with the woman I love. Her word's good. enough for me." That's the stuff. Good enough for me, too." (To be continued.) Pearcy Bros, have the finest garden, lawn and flower seeds. Poultry supplies and fertilizers. Lowest prices.

WEDNESDAY MORNING.- AXJGUST 4? 1926 The near-sighted man and his wife were inspecting the latest art exhibition with critical care. "That's the ugliest portrait I've ever seen." he cried angrily, striv ing for a better view of the abom ination. "Come away, you fool!" replied i his wife. "You are looking at yourself in a mirror." When Joe Dugan was staying at a hotel in- Atlantic City he was awakened one night' by a grating sound at hi door. , Someone was trying to fit a key into the lock. Rising from his bed and opening the door, he saw before him a stout, red-faced gentleman who evidently had been indulging in strong drink. "I beg your pardon, sir." apolo gized the man with a smile. "I thought this was my room." Dugan went back to bed and after a short interval he was again disturbed. Again someone was trying to fit a key into the lock. When he opened the door he found the same man there a sec ond time. "Oh, I certainly beg your par don," smiled the injeriated one again: "I thought this was my room." Once more Dugan went back to bed and after a time he again heard the same noise at his door. A third time he opened the door, and again he saw before him the same red-faced individual. But this time the mail's good humor had fled. He was in a rage. "Look here!" he stormed, "have you got every confounded room in the house?"- The Square Deal Hardware Co., 230 N. Com'l.

The Advertising pays you! ADVERTISING krings to millions, at reasonable prices, comforts and conveniences that without advertising would be luxuries that only a few could enjoy. America is an advertising nation. That is one reason why the man with moderate means here enjoys more comforts than most wealthy men abroad. Because thousands on thousands of people ask for a certain article by the same name, which they have read in the same advertisements, it is possible for the advertiser: to sell this item at a minimum of effort. - It is therefore possible to manufacture and to distribute this product at a saving which you share with, the, adver tiser. .
