Prices of wheat and cotton are now unduly depressed. Europe wiH assuredlr 'have to hav mnrfi AmoriMn vho this spring. But the rally in price will depend quite a little ftow on the outkk for the 1930 crop. II it gives promise of a normal yiexa in me united states ana Uanada then this prospect will have a pronounced bearish influence. . It is a mistake to hold! off the market for an indefinite time commodities like wheat and cotton, for if they do not pass into sale and consumption in proper season soon the next year's crop comeson and the marRet may be demoral ized. When the farm board made its offer of loans on 'wheat last October it said: "The board places no limit on the amount of gorernment money to be so loaned. Nearly 1100,600,000 is arailable for the purpose and, if necessary, the board vUl also ask congress to appropriate more." If the board continues will soon have to ask congress for more money. Uncle Sam is thus made the banker for wide speculation in commodities in the name of farm relief." The Selection of Mr. Hughes THE comment upon President Hoover's appointment of Charles E; Hughes as chief justice of the supreme court to succeed William H. Taf t has been uniforaly commenda tory. The previous service of Mr. Hughes, his known force of intellect, his integrity all so impress editors and publicists I that no word of criticism has been heard. The appointment will be recognized as one of the best which the president has ; made. , . , : .. .. , ; ; At the same time we venture to point out some objec- tions to the appointment. One is the -present age "of Mr. Hughes. He is in his 68th year, so unless Ke retains a vigor such as Justice Holmes has, he can give to the court but few years of service. Then Mr. Hughes has already served as associate justice, with credit to himself and honor to his profession. There is no new lustre which he can bring to the office, and serving as judge again can satisfy no fresh am bition. v ; . U ' ' : ': V;: : Mr. Hughes was serving as a member of the permanent court of international justice at The Hague. There it seems - to us he would have had an opportunity-for some' pioneering work of the most important character. The world court is in its infancy, but it may be developed into an agency of vast influence fa the world if its destiny is shaped by some . stronff character, fast as lha nnwer of mhi itnm court is the product of the reign of John Marshall as chiea jusuce. aureiy nere was a new for original and construct ive work, compared with which the duties of chief justice of our supreme court are largely onerous, routine and only narrowly creative at the present stage. . f Would it not nave been better to have elevated one of the associate justices to the position of chief justice; and then designated one of the -younger jurists' of the country for appointment as associate 1 The service of Mr. Hughes will probably be for only' a few years; a younger man would - grow into,; the office and render useful service for many years to come. There is to be remembered also the wisdom of rewarding the men of mature years who have rendered fine service as circuit or district judges, rather than to tall back from private life one even Of such eminent qualifications as Mr. - Hughes. . X- r1-. . ) - ? . a, : - I The haste with which the president acted may indicate an eagerness to appoint Mr. Hughes because of his known merits; or it may have been due to a desire to avoid "the ; pressure of those who would urge other names for political . .considerations. We cannot but feel that a more thorough consideration might have constrained the president to se lect some one other than Mr. Hughes. Industries Seldom Heard Of ; A PORTLAND firm obtained the .contract for building xi. pumps for a new paper mill in Everett. Here is a line of industry which gets little publicity, the so-called heavy : machine industries. They usually start with humble begin 7 nings like a foundry or machine shop, and develoii until they perform a large service. More and more are plants in the west turning out the machinery and equipment to take care of the industries of the wesj. Considerable paper mill ma chinery is cads' on the ceast ;The Salea Iwn wrks for Jn- - stance last summer supplied the new paper" mill -at Empire, near ilarshfield, with many of its heavy tastings.

The people vot edVto make the purchase, and er- errthinr seemed 1a Jm aattlAd That vote was takes la 1911. The ieitr conncll nrnrM!f to pass an ordinance for the Issuance of the bonds. The legality of the whole matter was welj examined and established, or ' prorided. John H. McNarr. now TTnitAd States district judge. - with his brother, Charles X McNary, now our senior United States senator, passed upon the legal phases of the proposition. Ererything was set,' and sound, when the mayor vetoed the ordinance to allow the bonds to be Issued and tha nnr. chase price to be paid. The may ors veto was not overridden. The matter waa nn arain. aWtm 12 years later, when th wntor system was offered to thA people at About 1800.000. Salem had in the mean time grown, as Sa lem has had the habit of doing, and the 2100,000 represented the physical value then, without re spect to the going concern' or franchise value. "a "r The United States eenana nn Salem 4259 population in 1900. xne loiai was 14,094 In 1910; that is. 10 years later. ri tt: u 17.C79 in 1920.

Salem will likely hare more than 40,000 population In 1940. And more than 50,000 in 1950. The fact Is. Salem should hare more than 50,000 before the end of another 10 years. She wUl hare, if her people will get the itrue vision of the possibilities here, In our industries on the land and in the city. S The price that would have to be paid for the water system now would be more than 1800,000, for the physical valuation of the plant has increased; there are more mains, there is more ma chinery, etc. And the Owning the system now would ex pect ana aemand m addition to physical valuation, according tn all the rules of taking it in th. going concern or franchise value. And this increases with vr new baby born; with every addi tion to the population of the city, by either that form of "indi rect Immigration," or by new peo ple coming by all .other routes. There Is a constant growth. And it will go on. . "a Every day this matter la nnt OU. II we crow at sit. ax wa biu. ly will, the greater will be the price the owning company will be entitled to demand, under either mutual bargaining or through, condemnation nroceedisrs in thA courts. There are established rules, made from the time cities have bought water systems. This "unearned increment through growth of population. makes un m of th hst ra. OAS wkv Salem ahavld own hav water system, and should accom plish the transfer at the earliest possible date. - Another lmnOrtant fea.nnn t the fact that the eft can borrow Cxnn ldcit 1'itluMiiuf - money forstien property at a low er rate man any private concern or individuals can borrow It; and to a higher vereentan of the values represented. Therefore. tne city itseir can afford to bnU4 larger mains, and extend its ser vice where a private concern would not be justified In reach ing out. depending upon future growth to take up the slack pri mary returns. H S Every consideration is tn favor of municipal ownership of her wa ter system in a city situated like saiera. . . - All the above has no reference to the future supply. Salem should own her own water sys tem, tnougb no supply were avaU aMe bnt that from the Willamette river, filtered and treated and pumped into the mains. V But the Bits man believes Sa lem would not have her own sys tem long until her people would be dissatisfied with anything but a mountain supply oft water. And they should not put up with any other for a day longer than it would take them to ret tha ht xn terms that would justify them in securing it. The Bits man believe t would be soon; that it would be found that a supply- could be had by gravity, eliminatinr all ing. costs, that would with this saving and what might be obtain ed by the sale of power, either by wholesale or retail, Justify the great cost' of a pipe line ta the source of a mountain supply. Water Is going to be water, in Oregon, as it already is and al ways will be in California. Wa ter supply, has made and the lack of. it unmade cities and nations, more than armies and navies. It wUl ever be so. There Is no city in the United States that has more strings to its bow than Salem has; in po tential sources of growth.
