. atored at the Poat Office ia Kalom, Oregon, aa aeeoed-elaaa matter
with the; American people. The matter of participation in
thia movement by the apple growers of the northwest will be
considered at a meeting- in Yakima, Wash., today. This is a
movement that,' properly handled, might do a great deal
towards rejuvenating and stabilizing the apple industry. The
biggest thing that could be done for this industry in the
Salem district," for the next ten or a dozen years, would be the
building of a number of dryers for apples. - There is an unlim
ited market for dried apples in China.

CITY BUILT STREETS CHEAPER
It is found that city built paved streets are cheaper than
fcontract built ones, as the reader will observe from a news
1 article in The Statesman of this morning
? That is; the bids on contract work for this year are higher
than the cost of city built streets laet year
.And the costs of city built streets this year will be lower
than for last year, owing to shorter hauls and smaller pur
chase costs for gravel.
; It will be so continually, under the right kind of a super
intendent of streets, or department of streets.
The obvious thing is a larger equipment for the municipal
. construction of paved streets, for it is the duty of the city as
a whole1 to make the; cost of streets to individual holders of
abutting property as low as possible. For the good of the
whole city. .
And there are going to be more paved streets to con-
struct. More and more. Salem is going to grow ; to grow
steadily, through a long term of years. Salem will have
40,000 people, then 50,000, and on up to 100,000, and then
have only a fair start in her growth, with the development
of her industries on the land, coupled with, her industries in
; the city. ; ;! ', : ' .
Municipal street construction is a duty, just as the city
ownership of Salem's water system is a duty. It is a duty we
pwe to ourselves and the generations to follow us.
MORE BRITISH SUGAR FACTORIES
Eighteen beet sugar factories will be in operation in
England the coming season
A doubling of the number in two years and a more than
doubling of the acreage in beets, for the older factories have
been increased flh7ipacity and sugar beet growing has been
. vastly stimulated.
, There will likely be nineteen factories in operation this
year fn England, as an effort has been carried on for signing
tip 12,000 acres of sugar beets to be grown in Somerset,
Wiltshire, Devonshire and Dorsetshire, with indications of
success, the west of England farmers claiming they can grow
mpre tons pf sugar beets to the acre than are produced in
other parts of that country, and they are determined to get
the advantages of the industry for their section.
The British people after the war started out to make
theircountry 1 self contained in sugar, by levying tariff rates
and offering subsidies about equal to the retail prices of
sugar on our Atlantic seaboard, and the prospects are that
: they will succeeds . ,
- "The United States would very soon become self contained
in sugar if half the advantages of the English were offered
by our congress, in tariff rates alone ; without any subsidies
Again, have not our members of congress as. much sense
and foresight as the members of the British parliament ?
BLOODSTAINED MILLIONS FOR HOSPITALS
f
i r L. E. HugH, Geneva, describing himself as a Swiss citizen
under date of :May 7, ends to The Statesman, and presum
ably to other. American newspapers, the following copy of
a: letter mailed April 11 to President Hibben of Princeton
university, Princeton, N. J.:
i "An account which has appeared In the newspapers of the reply
which you gare Mr. Mellon concerning the cancellation of war debts
Jeada me to submit to you an Idea which occurred to me in seeing a
poor man refused admission to the Geneva hospital when in a dying
condition simply, because, he had no. money and had the additional
misfortune not , to be v a Geneva citizen. , The incident, which has.
passed; almost unnoticed, happens hundreds of times all . over, the
world. " '
' "Aa a consequence of the world war the belligerent states owe
.you 15 billions dollars. ,. v

Of course. Salem district goes
over the top on her Red Cross
flood relief quota. It Is Salem's
way. And she will do the same
for the additional quota which is
expected to be called.

Of course,. it is the duty of the
fnited States government to
quickly lay out plans for forever
preventing , a recurrence ottfca
great Mississippi flood disaster,
and. to carry them out as fast as
possible, though this will be a
tremendous engineering - and re
forestation program ; perhaps the
greatest ever undertaken in the
world's history.
But this does not minimize in
the least the present duty of Im
mediate relief, to which the na
tion is responding in characteris
tic American style; the Salem dis
trict along with practically all the
rest throughout the land.

America shows she is, truly
American by responding in every
ease, the world , over to the first
