Hammer these facts home, as they should be stressed, and there will be such a demand for the proposed factory that it will Ibe certain to come ; that the Utah-Idaho Sugar people will be glad and anxious to put in their million and a half to two million dollars to build it. NEEDED, A WILD HOG BOOM . " There has been for several years a swine bret;ding boom in the Salem district ; but it ismof half wild enough yet ; not half as wild as the conditions justify- . And it is a boom that cannot be overdone. Salem has become a swine breeding center.; has done this in the past seven years; the Salem district has increased its swine breeding Industry in this time to five to six times its size at the beginning of the period . .'And this growth is going on. : The Valley Packing company four and five years ago was going east of the Cascades and the Rockies for about 'a third of the hoirs it was annually using, and outside the baiem trading district for part of the .two-thirds. . This: company has J steadily increased its ; packing opera tions, and is now able to-get practically all its hogs locally. What is more, this plant was last year and the year before more than doubled in capacity, and brought-right dorwn to ; date; to the last minute ; and it will before very long be using 52,000 hogs a' year, and getting them all from the Salem districts ' . --; :-v--.r r This growth of swine breeding-is bringing about an in-, crease in thf? number of dairy cows; helping to develop a large poultry industry; has made Marion the leading corn county xf the Pacific northwest . I And it has added to the productivity of the soil in this dis trict in many ways ; aided Jthe legume industry; put more silos on the farms, more paint on the barns and dwellings, and in many other ways helped in the thriftrtod;'"piwpe"rity?aii4 ' i?eneraiweii oemz 01 me ueuuie on me m.uu nc u j!iu a patronlJiig teiTitory.i Jn ' The people of Salem and of the whole Salem districtowe a great aea w me iiume men wini.ciivciac u ;.wu.. j put up the capital for the Valley Packing company, ancChave managed it and kept it growing and prosperous. I All this means more hogs, more ; corn, more cows, f more poultry, more money, and. still more and more;- and; f more i There can be no over advertising 6t , the fact that the Salem district is a good swine breeding country; ; The acts should be spread far and wide.

No reform can come now for at least two y:-rr, and if ths saio bunch'la elected to the next legislature If every farmer in" the Willamette valley could be bundled up and taken for a visit to the great Colorado sugar factories, every one of them would come back ready to sign up for a factory here. To the last mother's son of them. Bits For Breakfast 1 Breed more hogs - V . U l '"J:'r There is an industry that can not be over done. Can you think of yourself as a swine breeder i,n the corn belt, selling your hogs at $1.60 to $1.95 a hundred pounds less than they are worth in cold cash in the Salem district . . And with lower priced land and less cost for many reasons here, to say nothing ?of .the vast differ ence in . favor,, of ,our climate for both comforf 5nd safety? " -.:(:v Here is another thing that can not p6sslbly ? be orer done in the illamette valley 'the sugar in- ausiry. rui ims Tauey mm sugar beet factories, fed by 500, 000 acres of our land in rotation schemes, and still we would . not make a dent, in the supply for the United States. S V In a recent bulletin of the Ore gon Agricultural college there is the following paragraph: -"To be successful sugar beet factories must have plenty of beets for, a leng run and must have them every season, points out G. It. Hyslop, professor of farm crops at the Oregon experiment station. So in addition to right soil and cli mate, farms and farmers ' and plenty of labor and transportation are essential to produce enough hf ts pverr rmif for A. incwmf ill factory M-oft. If along with these t tilings fuel, water and limestone may be had without excessive cost, a successful factory location is in dicated." r v v - The Willamette valley has every one of the essentiajavfor a success ful beet sugar factory, including the labor, which is the most im portant of all. We are used . to getting large numbers of laborers here. They come now, almost as a matter of course, on account of our vast amount of seasonal work, just one thing we lack. Nothing ese. Just a full; understanding on the part of our farmers, and our other people, that a beet sugar factory is the best bet we have. Without a single exception.

"".ft;" '"'fr''; ' i - . This w'as the question that was being discussed here today k by. members of the state board of con trol and other officials who' are entrusted with the expenditure of the state's finances. I Appropriations "Large " - Records in the -office of the state .treasurer show that the total legislative appropriations for the year 1827 are 110,8,49,914, while the estimated revenues.,.both from taxes and indirect sources, are f 9.332t83J.5f Thls Wuld indi" cate that the legislature obligated the state the amount ". of ap proximately $1,100,000 in excess of the estimated revenues ; i J". , Following - ou t the theory that th supreme , courts opinion pre vents the state jfrom obligating itself in , an amount in excess on S (T.ffO Offeror tfta Its revenue. officials pointed out that future Injunction,' proceedings probably would have the effect bf deferring construction of both the tuber culosis hospital and state normal school until such , time as the rev enues were sufficient to meet the obligations. Program in Danger ' Itwas said that similar pro ceedings. If filed agaIn&L-itate of flcials, might enjoin .the -expenditure of $127,700 appropriated. by the legislature for the Doern- becker hospital ? in Portland 'and allowances 'authorized for' other state Activities. - - The le;lslativ approprlatlona for the state normal school ag gregated $195,000-. which includ ed $175,000 for the erection of an administration building and $40. 000ffor salaries and expenses. Appropriations for the tuber culosis hospital totalled $29, 0f0. of which amount $100,000 was carried In the measure creating the institution. Hare Iaw In Doubt Officials said that In following out the supreme court opinion clarifying that part of the con stitution limiting the state's in debtedness to $50,000 in excess of its revenues, the state .treasurer might find "1 himself ' confronted with the' situation of issuing war rants marked "not paid for want of funds" Mnsteatft of ; taking -ad vantage of the so-called Hare law giving hinx , authority to borrow from any state funds other than those of the industrial accident commission and land department to replenish the general fund. Under the Hare law which was enacted -at the last legislative ses sion the state treasurer was au thorized to borrow from the var ious state funds in ease of emer gency and pay interest on the money at the rate of two per cent. Borrowing Customary It has been customary in the past for the state treasurer to re plenish the general fund with money borrowed from various banks for which he was com pelled to pay interest at the rate of five and six per cent. A number of state officials have held that, money " borrowed from ie various state funds under the Hare bill would be in the nature of a debt, and would violate the provisions of the supreme court opinion in the office building case. Money borrowed from banks te tide over an emergency also would be an obligation against the slate under the supreme court ruling,' the officials said. Records in the office of the state treasurer show that in Oc tober, 1926, he borrowed from various banks of the state $480, 000. for which he paid Interest at the rate of five per cent. . ;May -Nullify Acts" W . , Delving further into " the su preme court opinion officials said that yesterday's, ruling also prob ably would have , the-., .effect of nullifying the functions of the state emergency board. During the, last biennium the emergency board issued certificates of in debtedness In the amount, of $390,575.58. Interest on these certificates totalled $6314.50. f Officials ventured the guess that under the supreme court opinion these certificates created an obligation against the state In excess of $50,000. and were a vio lation of the indebtedness limita tion proision of the constitution., Included,' JLn the grist of certifi cates of., indebtedness .. authorized by the - emergency board during the last, biennium were those In the amount-pf $22,092.89 for sal aries of the members of thejstate supreme court. Interest on "these certificates aggregated $241. ' Interest Aroused ' State officials said today that they would watch with interest future decisions of the supreme court In . any cases that may be filed to restrain the state from expending or obligating its credit In an amount in excess of $50,000 more than its revenues. They said these opinions would be 'made more interesting by the fact that the court would-be comi "1 DC Hisinate ttn Sonazr Snff erin HOTwcathcr but intensifies suffering from Rectal and Colon iRmMift V ia.
