PLACE FOR NEXT SUGAR FACTORY
J. W. Timpsbn, manager of the Utah-Idaho Sugar com
pany, writis that he contemplates a visit to the Willamette
valley, as told in a copy of . his letter printed Ton , the news
pages this morning . . . , 4
' And he says he wants to note the progress of irrigation
enterprises here- " , " ... '
-i And he asserts that he prefers to. British' Columbia the
Willamette valley, as the location of the next, unit (factory)
of his great company. - ; ' .. - ,
' 7 That is most encouraging. Mr. Timpson says he believes
ar sugar, factory can be' successfully , operated here, if our.
people will go jo'iirigation, and our farmers will make tip
their mmda to" support the proposed enterprise
I Ther4-$,ftV,Pthi pne thing that' will do-asjmuch ttyf
Willamette valley - ; .. . i.fvu
' For.all the, industries on the land and the' growth and well
being of our cities and towns.' No other one thing that will
sq vastly increase dairying and swine breeding and poultry
raising, and all the ! other fundamental products that will
render our Valley superbly great and uniformly prosperous.
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

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.
CHANGE NEEDED IN LAW

lature until such time as the
court's ruling has been interpre

. 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
