Salem Residents are Urged
v To Report - Cooperation -
CWithJqgrarn.
"iTt.la - Is an, p?ci to gqodre-coTcry-
supporters. -Nope, not for.
me-ney. Listen:
An Indignant ; Jo h n ' Farmer
(Batnrally, not M- Teal name)
r jshcd the counter, at the States-
man" office the.' other; morning. ,
' - "Where's the fellow who's writ
InR all tais; Bay-Now bologney?
- Ill tell him something," John
hardly paused for an answer a
- he started to .unload, something
in this manner:
"Who the heck do yon 'spose
Is paying any attention to that
stuff. Why dont you leave a
blank space in your paper if that's
all yon got. to write about say,
111 bet you my next year's hay
croo there hasn't been $25 spent
In Salem today on account of this
Bar-'Now rigamorole.
"How can us farmers Buy-Now
got all. we can do to buy
, bread and corn meal, let alone
r buying new stores, n davenports
and a lot of other things we can
get : a f o n g without. Why any
dumb fool ougbta know you can't
buy when you ain't got no
money ..."
Right there, gare the reporter
the first opening; 'twas only an
observation.
- ."Well, there won't be any
money until more people get
work and there won't be- more
work for more people unless peo
ple who hare a few extra dollars
aow spend 'em.
But that didn't mean anything
to John Farmer, and he let loose
again along his own line. But
why go into that more? The re
porter got an Idea: Why not let
the buyers themselves say whe
ther or not they are behind
President Roosevelt's Buy -Now
campaign ?
And say, folks, that's where
you come in. Merchants say they
have no way of checking defi
nitely, but they're sure some of
the Increased buying this month
kas been due to Buy-Now ef
forts. And that's the word that's
been printed here.
But John Farmer says it's a
"lotta bologney."
Now you, patient reader, can
step In and show John Farmer
he's all wet, speaking fairly po
litely.
What have you bought as a
direct result of the Buy-Now
campaign started In Salem No
vember 9 and to continue for one
month?
Whether it's something big or
little, costly or cheap if you
bought it because of the Buy
Now activities, let's hear about It.
Write it down and drop the
message to the Statesman, care
Buy-Now writer. Of course, if
rou want to sign your name, it's
fine; your initials will do. Or
irop the message on a post card.
But come on, let's show John
Farmer that Salem is supporting
the Buy-Now movement In earnest.

NO MORE BAR OR bRAJ3 KAJT
Consolation for dry losers in the recent repeal fight is seen in the adoption of a stringent set of liquor regu
lations by New York State. The old saloon is definitely banned. Liquor may be served with meals or without
meals in licensed restaurants, but the drinker must sit at a table no more bars or brass rails or back rooms.
Retail liquor stores may sell beverages for home consumption on a strict cash and carry basis, purchases
being limited to three quarts to a customer at one time. The regulations, framed by the State Alcoholic Bever
age Control Board under chairmanship of Edward P. Mulrooney, may serve as a model whereupon other
States may create similar control laws.

vide the guarantees which Dr.
Diemel sought.
U
M. C. McMillan, superintendent
of industries for the Minnesota
state prison at Stillwater, told the
writer, visiting there last year,
that the Oregon penitentiary
might have a good field for the
making of ply goods, from our
flax and hemp fiber; that a high
ly superior article might be man
ufactured here.
. S
Mrr McMillan3 is a cousin of Is
aac E. Staples, state senator from
Multnomah county, well known in
the Salem district. Mr. McMillan
ha3 been at the' head of the pri
son industries in his state tor a
generation the largest and finest
operation of Its kind In the unit
ed States, or In tne worm.
mm S "W
TTa has recently nut in a plant
for making ply goods, 'from sisal
and manila hemp fiber, mostly tne
latter, the former coming from
Mexico and East Africa and the
latter from the Philippines. Man
ila hemp fiber has no relation to
that of the plant called hemp.
Nearly all ropes are made from
manila hemp. He has found a
great demand for the ply goods,
and he believes there would be
ready sale for the higher class
goods we could make here from
fibers of our own growth. Minne
sota cannot grow either.
s u s
Mr. McMillan's sugges 1 1 o n
would apply with equal validity
to private plants in the Salem dis
trict. But the field is large;
said before, it covers over 100
articles of commerce.
How would the building and
operation of linen mills In the Sa
lem district put back on the map
neighboring small cities, towns
and villages? With the steady and
full operation of Salem's present
two- linen mills, they would re
quire much more fiber than can
be turned out from the state plant
at the prison.
S S
With such a plant as Dr. Diemel
proposed to build and operate,
them wnulrl ha necessarv the pro
duction here of several times thetp
tonnage of fiber it would use, be
cause it would be able to take only
the kind in lea (fineness) speci
fications needed for its specialty.
S
So there would have to be, in
course of time, retting and scutch
ing plants In all the cities and
towns of the valley. Organized co
operatively, the farmers in the
various districts could get federal
funds for building these retting
and scutching plants and provid
ing the extensive warehouse space
necessary for them.
m S
The labor would be drawn from
the local sections, and the scutch
ing might be carried on through
out the wet seasons, or even the
whole year, by supplying sprink
ling systems, and thus keep boys
and girls at home. Instead of
obliging them to go away as now
to get work and make their ca
reers. Had E. H. Harriman lived a
few years longer, all this would
have come about ere now. He had
it under serious consideration,
with definite plans. In his last
years. Mrs. W. P. Lord, the pio
neer flax enthusiast of Oregon,
was well aware of this, and act
ive In promoting it; the same be
ing true as to the plans of Dr.
Diemel. The writer has in his files
some of the correspondence in
connection with it.
S
If we could now have such
leadership, that would enlist the
support of all the interests that
would largely benefit from the
certain doubling of the popula
tion of Salem from the securing
of the one mill, to make Hnen
mesh goods for the American
trade. It would prove the best
community Investment that could
be made and, all our people
thoroughly convinced of this, the
undertaking could be put over.
m
Thus Salem's population would
be doubled within five years or
less, and all the other benefits
mentioned would certainly follow.
Can the reader think of any
other way to double the popula
tion of Salem so quickly? Or any
other way that would bring about
the certain and solid advance
ment of the whole central Wil
lamette valley? -
Belfast Is a metropolitan city
of a half million population. And
Belfast district linen manufactur
ers must import from other coun
tries, with tariff duties. 85 per
cent of the flax and hemp fibers
to supply their raw materials.
And they must take what they
can get, from Russia, Poland,
Holland, France and Belgium,
etc., bad, good and Indifferent in
quality. And they must stand the
tariff charges on their manufac
tured goods sent to other coun
tries largely the United States.

Rules for Re-Employment
Received by Barnes
From PW A Counsel : :
Migrating ""ex-serviee men ' are
not to be given preference over
bona tide residents of a. commun
ity .where PWA projects are plan-
ned, according to a ruling: received
yesterday by. E. T, Barnes, man
ager of the local federal re-employment
office. The opinion re
garding the order of preference to
be observed, was handed down by
B. V. Cohen, associate counsel for
federal administration of public
works. -f
The opinion reports the nation
al recovery act was not intended
to encourage the migration of la
bor from one district to another
as this practice would defeat the
aims of the administration to pro
vide work where the nnemploy
ment situation was acute. The vet
erans were given a preferential.
not an exclusive right, the opinion
reported.
"The preference accprded, fair
ly construed, is not absolute and
unqualified, but Is a preference
when other conditions are slm
liar," the opinion said. "Veteran
are entitled to a preference ahead
of others in any given group but
non-resident veterans are not en
titled to preference ahead of res
idents." Following is the order of pref
erence which will be followed in
the hiring of labor for PWA pro
Jects.
1 Veterans with dependents,
who are residents of the political
subdivision or county in which the
work Is to be performed.
2 Other citizens and aliens,
who have declared their intention
of becoming citizens, who "are
bona fide residents of such polit
ical subdivision or county.
3 Veterans with dependents
who are bona fide residents of the
state, territory or district in which
th ; work is to be performed.
4 Other citizens and aliens,
who have declared their intention
of becoming citizens, who are
bona fide residents of the state,
territory, or district, where the
work is to be performed.
