' t - A LONG VIEW England started out to become self sufficient in sugar'. The British parliament offered subsidies and fixed import duties giving beet sugar manufacturers advantages about equal to the retail price of sugar on our Atlantic seaboard Arid extended the subsidies over a period of ten years, with' a sliding scale downward. This has brought a large number of factories More .and more are being built. One now building in Lincolnshire has contracts with 2780 growers, representing a total of 12,000 acres. ' It is found that the new industry is making over the agri culture of England, which had been stationary for50 years, with, a downward tendency; with more and more land going into, pasture and partial disuse - Whereas beet sugar growing, as a, rotation crop, is bring ing the slacker acres under profitable cultivation, and putting a healthy impetus into all the industries on the land i So much so that there is now a proposition to extend the ten year period of the subsidies. The English people see and feel the great indirect benefits of the industry ? And .English statesmen realize the great advantages of their country being self sufficient in sugar, which consum mation they propose to realize; if not completely, at least with the help of the colonies. If the statesmen of the United States had such a view, and would give American farmers and sugar makers half the advantages of subsidy and tariff rates, or even of tariff rates alone, our country would in' 20 yearsbe self sufficient in sugar -; .. ; And the Willamette valley would have 50 to 100 beet sugar factories , And our agricultural problems would be solved. : Have we not as much sense as the English? THE AIR , uThe air liner is coming, and the air ambulance is already here. Between the radio and the air ship, and th moving picture and the television, the world is becoming one com munity, and the time of permanent world peace is being ushered in. ; "We are' living, we are . moving In a grand and awful time; ' . In an age pn ages telling . I. '. ' To be living is sublime." V And he is a man bf short vision who imagines that the next generation will not see greater things than this one. The following are two editorial paragraphs in Portland newspapers of yesterday, the first from the Journal and the second from the Telegram : "The head of a German airplane company announces plans for a plane many times the size of any yet suggested. It proposes to carry many motors ''and have power enough to' cross the Atlantic in 16 hours. And here is the astounding part ofthe story: It would carry 170 passengers! One thing about man is this:.; The more difficult the problem the harder he tries. That is the; secret of hy the white race, with less, than one-third in numbers, directly-or indirectly gor-? eras tour-filths of the earth's surface." . . ' .--v; - , ."Airplane ambulance A young man whose neck was broken In diving In a shallow swimming tank at Bandon, was operated upon at a local hospital and then brought to Portland by a cabin airplane, hastily fitted to ambulance use. - The many cases in which a few minutes time mean all the difference between life and death," prove the value of the-airplane ambulance because of Its speed, but it has other advantages only less important. The smoothness and steadiness of the airplane's motion makes it ideal transport -for anyone suffering Injuries. Shattered bones may. not be jarred without causing pain that may.be deadly In itself, and there is always the chance of punc turing a vital organ or rupturing a blood vessel. There is no highway so perfect, there are no tires so plumbly cushioned, that the ortlinary motor ambulance can avoid all jolts and bumps, but in the air such notion as there may be Is gentle and suave. In spite of the roar of the motor, there is a feeling of peace and spaciousness in the upper air that is more restful to tortured bound traffic. In balancing the account of the airplane, when its use has become general. It may be found that it will end in savins moire lives than Its first experimental flights have cost." ' FROM THE SMALLER TOWNS - . (Dearborn Independent.) A mistake many ..make is the' belief that New York is the voice if the nation, It is not. Neither are the other large polyglot cities which have tremendous foreign populations and alien outlooks. For lm American views, go to the farm or the small town. That Is exactly what The Aiuerlcair City has done, in trying to determine prohibition sentiment throughout the country. Mayors in towns of 10.000 to 50,000 population in states which did not have state-wide prohibition before the ISth Amendraent was passed have been asked c, .! -imnartial observations. The summary of the replies so far received states: "There is little echo of the condemnation often t ih in !hn cities, but rather ir.iimi .nd control Both in their actual answers and to the spirit In which they are written the mayors In the smaller, towns seem to want mnr nrohibilion. not less m.J t. ttimonv from the source. Prohibition has by no means proved perfect; ipeciallr la the enforcement which has taken place ...

But there are excellent prospects for a big crop; perhaps a two ton crop and more, 'and 21 pullers' will not be enough in the event that the good prospects materialize. So the smaller tracts will have to be pulled by hand. CoL Bar tram, manager of the flax industry, is appealing to the con tract growers to weed their flax wherever needed. And he is telling them in a letter how important it is that the pulling be done at the right time, in order to produce a quality prod uct of fiber. There will be a second meeting of the Richmond Improve ment club at the Richmond school tonight, to effect perma nent organization. This is an important meeting,, for that section of Salem, and every one interested ought to attend. STATE MEETING HERE OF MASTER PLUMBERS Continued from pg 1,) .

True to predictions, Brownlee brought up his war record with the statement that he was not a coward, having faced just as tough situations fighting for his country as the one before him yesterday. Smiles at Death His statement closed at 8:21 o'clock and the listeners went at once to the execution room, a few steps away. Brownlee entered the room at 8:28, balancing himself carefully as he mounted the scaf fold. He stood on the trap with a smirk while guards fastened the arm and leg shackles.' A few seconds before the black hood was attached he noticed Warden James Lewis In the room and smilingly bade him good-bye. The trap was sprung and 16 minutes later he was declared dead by Drs. R. L. Edwards and W. B. Mott of Salem, and E. V. Morrow of Portland. Among other official guests at the execution were Sheriffs Crook ham of Umatilla county and Brea shears of Union county. The body was claimed by two sisters who made a last minute olea to the governor for clemency which was refused. It will be sent to Casper, Wyo.. for burial. Holdup Responsible j. Together with Dewey Russell, now serving a 20-year term in the prison for robbery, Brownlee held up a Veneta pool hall February 27 and seriously wounded the proprietor. Two days later, while hiding behind a brush pile in the loothills west of Veneta, Brown- Nee shot and killed Hooker, mem ber of a sheriff's posse. At the time he was using a heavy caliber rifle. He escaped and fled as far as Walla Walla, Wash., where he was taken into custody March 6. De spite the fact that he pleaded not guilty, Brownlee was convicted in less than a week, lie entered the death cell, at the prison April 4, and did not appeal bis case. He had served previously a portion of an eight-year sentence for a statutory offense on a 'Deschutes county conviction, being paroled May 15, 1926.

Renounces Prizes Later Bertaud sent Levine a telegram stating his position as to prize money. This was seen as an indication that harmony was far. from restored, for " the flier might have spoken to Levine as he had been with him all after noon and is staying at the same hotel. The telegram said that Bertaud was willing, to ' forego all prize money if necessary, so long as he remained a member of the crew, and flew with Chamberlin.
