' ..There, is printed in this issue an article written for the newspaper of the realtors of Los Angeles, by C. E. Want land,: California newspaper writer, of long experience and einal n ability, v who -has been - -visiting - British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon; tojmake a study of the tax systems of . this iioast ; at first lhand. ; Mr. Wantland represents the Anti: Single Tax League of California ;f or they must con stantly: fight this issue." in that state, as it has been suc cessfully fought in Oregon. Mr. Wantland calls himself an "agricultural optimist,? and he believes a general spirit of optimism is very much needed in this field .!Ahd that it is justified. Read the article There is meat in it. It points the way,' or. the ways, to the stabilization of the industries on the land i to an increase of land values, by utilizing them to the point of or approximating their potential production. .. . Mr. Wantland calls attention to an article in the July number of the Country Gentleman, also very well worth read ing, 'as follows: : - 'Disaster is not the only news in agriculture though for the. past six months the American farmer has appeared in the newspaper headings only as the victim of tragedy and distress. ; L In congress -last winter all farmers were pictured ' as dead broke and headed for the poorhouse. Ninety per cent of jthe Mississippi flood refugees were farm" families. Tor-Mdoes,fcpuntry-bank failures, the corn borer, eleven-cent cottonthe gloomy reports bf the National Industrial Confer ence Board all these have been featured in the daily press until many people have come to believe that American agri culture is a tottering wreck. tJui that isn't the whole story by a long shot. ':?v!frue as the stories of sectional disaster have been, they iMrmorfe reflect actual conditions for a majority of people wra - livBin the country than stories of bootlegger's wars with 'Itiachine guns in Chicago and Philadelphia reflect lffe in the citiesi. - - f 'r During a recent week, representatives of the Country Gehtlefiian called on 1521 merchants, bankers and cham bers, of. commerce in seventy-nine cities from the Atlantic seaboard to beyond the Missouri river. : drljirty-eight per cent of 1482 stores reported farm trade better this year than in 1926, while thirty per cent more t$udlj Was as good and forty-two per cent declared farm ers were buying more than in 1925. ;Trfenty-five;per cent asserted that farm trade this year is bet elr than city trade, and in cities where there have been industrial troubles the merchants stated that only the ex cellehctf Of business with farm people was maintaining sales volume. ::v . ....-. : '.Seventy-nine per cent were optimistic as to the pros pects for: trade from farmers in the rest of 1927. : ' Agricultural implements sales have been 5.6 per cent greater' this spring than last and twenty-four per cent greater, than in 1925. - ) Tractor manufacturers have been swamped with orders. , . Farm-owned radio sets have increased from 553,000 in 1925 to 1252,000 this spring; and Iowa has more radios on faxtasHhan any other state in the Union. ' I. Less than two per cent of the rural population of the United States was affected by the Mississippi river floods; an j even smaller percentage of the productive agricultural lind of the nation was inundated. And rehabilitation started immediately in the wake of the overflow, with the possibility which has been actually realized in other big-flood years in thet Mississippi valley that the rejuvenation of the soil would'jbring big crops by harvest. - " h ?r?5:?rtme' Cotton has- risen from eleven f to sixteen cents i ciairy and poultry products have enjoyed satisfactory prices the first half of the year and should continue to do. f during .the'' second -half; wheat and corn promise to bring more than they did last year; there are not likely to be such lo prices for- fruit as during the past two years. ? 1 And all these optimistic -facts are spread over a much wider; area of the United States than are all the. areas of fjood, tornado -and other distress combined. fYet bad news maken ,the front.. page while the- gain passes unnoticed .. ... ,, Cities and other industries manage adverse publicity better. The fact that 40,000 people fled from New Orleans in;fear bf, the approaching flood was not even mentioned inqugn tne exodus or logo Tarm folks . from any sugar-bowl parish wa worth a'; news . dispatch.r, New England's loss of capitT k her cotton mills move south is scarcely whispered buLdef Latian of. corn belt ririeps .i.q shriplrpH f mm tYn .knnc. tops.

O I General Markets v'Wben we have company for dinner an Ma's in doubt about what to say "or do she just criticis es my carvin'." (CopywriRht. 1927, Publikhera Syndicate) YOUR SUCCESS OR FAILURE -Editor Statesman : Every young person expects to succeed in life and has a right to succeed. The optimism of youth is contagious. Older heads looking back over many of their own experiences and those of others they have observed are less sure. The sum total of our experiences forms the basis for our judgments. That is why we Took to older heads for advice. Our consti tution recognizes this in requiring a greater age for a sen ator than for a representative. .We choose our judges from among the lawyers bf mature years. Most of our presidents and governors have been men past fifty. Not all older men have better judgment than young men, but the experience pf many generations has proven the truth of the old adage "Old men for counsel, young men for war." To every young man sooner or later comes an oppor tunity to engage in business or make some investment which . o o a w i a A promises good financial returns, buz sucn opportunities always call for an initial payment maybe only a few hun dred dollars but unless he has -this ready money he must step aside and see the coveted opening go to some other fel low who perhaps has no more ability but who does have the few hundred dollars ready to invest. Is there any real valid reason why every young man should not regularly save a part of his earnings? It may be unfortunately true that many do not save but this very fact insures the success of the ones that will save. James J. Hill once said, "There is only one infallible test as to whether or not you will succeed. Can you save money ? If you can you will succeed if you can't save you will fail. You may think you won't but you will fail." Now try this simple test yourself. Look over you can celled checks for the last few months and see if you could not have done without some of the luxuries you bought, some of the pleasures you paid for and could not have saved some of the money you so unwisely spent. Then estimate how many months it would take to thus save one hundred dollars two hundred five, hundred. Now turn to the advertisements in this very paper look over the many bargains offered and what really good in vestments you could make if you only had that few hundred dollars to make the "down payment." Maybe you are wish ing you owned your own home. The columns are full of at tractive of ferings but each one calls for that payment down which you haven't saved yet. Ask yourself whether the things you have been spending your money for are IN VESTMENTS or just EXPENDITURES. When you make an INVESTMENT you are really paying the money to your self. And the thing you are buying is INCREASING IN VALUE with time. It works FOR you instead of AGAINST you. tioing in debt for luxuries or unnecessanes is poor pol icybut making an INVESTMENT by paying part down and the rest by installment is good business. Young man, save something each month. Live on less than you earn. Then when you have laid something by, do no be tempted into SPENDING IT but INVEST your sav ings. It is the road to success. W. A.

Staples of Multnomah is being men tioned as a possible candidate for congress from the Third district, to take the place left vacant by the death of Con gressman Crumpacker. It is a good suggestion. Senator Staples has been one of the hardest working members of the Oregon legislature, and one of the ablest, and he is sound on all the great issues, and as honest as the day is long. He has a host of friends in the valley and throughout the state who would be pleased to see him elevated to the national councils, where, on account of his varied experiences in many lines of endeavor,, he would serve well his district, his state and his country. . . ; , i , : : BCTLRX8 AFTKR VACATION SIL.VERTON. .Ore..'
