PAGE POUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON Capitajoourna! Salem, Oregon An Independent Newspaper, Published every evenlnz except Sunday Telephone 81; news 82 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher Edison's Solution Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, has outlined a plan to stabilize business, lower living costs, revolutionize modern business methods, squelch the dishonest speculator, reduce the prices of coal and othef commodities and furnish the small producer ready capital by establishing the government as the nation's great middleman and making common com modities as well as gold the basis of currency. At the suggestion of Henry Ford and others, Edison sometimes since devoted himself to a study of economic con ditions and the cause of economic unrest. His solution has been turned over to economic and business experts for crit icism and suggestion. Briefly outlined, Edison's plan is to have the government list some forty basic commodities, such as cotton, corn, cop per, coal, wheat, flax, iron, and then taking the prices of the last twenty years as a basis, establish an average price for each. This price he would have determined in terms of gold and called a unit or a dollar. Edison would have the government take over or establish great warehouses and storage plants. When the producer is ready to market his product he brings it to the agent at the government warehouse, who gives him a certificate cov ering his whole deposit and at the same time pays him half of the value of the deposit, as computed on the 25-year average basis, in cash. The government then stores the product. ' When a dealer wants wheat, coal, cotton, or any other commodity he buys the producer's certificate on the market ; he presents it at a warehouse, pays the government back the money advanced, and takes the product away PANTOMIME By J.

The Independence Corn show, which opens tomorrow (Friday) morning In the McBeth building In this city, bids fair to eclipse all other events of almllar nature er er attempted in the Willamette valley. While the ahow has shown a most Bteady and consistent growth since its organization four years ago the 1922 display prom ises to carry fully double the num ber ot entries of last season. The addition of potatoes is prov ing quite popular with the grow ers and a large section will be de voted to this crop. The potato business the country over is .said to be seriously menaced bj sev eral diseases and by lack: of uni formity of variety and type. It Is expected that the show will call attention to these conditions ana have nt inconsiderable eftect on improvement. TUt statement of authorities that the potato lniuf- try must get a better grip on the stluation Beems to be borne out by buyers who state that good table stock is exceedingly scarce and certified seed potatoes scarcely existent in the Willamette val ley. , The potato classes in the show are most liberally supported by cash and merchandise awards and growers will be well repaid for making entry, not to mention the high publicity value of showing quality products under such fav orable circumstances. Among the varieties recognized are Earliest of All, American Wonder, Bur bank, White Rose and "any other variety." Sweepstakes include best half bushel of certified and best half bushel in the' show. While every class of corn and corn products is well backed up with premiums the boys and girls are especially well provided for in this respect. The junior depart ment is divided Into two divisions, one for all those under 19 years, and the other for boys and girls egularly enrolled in club work and who have filed their reports with the county superintendent of schools. Superintendent Josiah Wills reports that everyone of his corn club members is expected to show at Independence. It will be recalled that the sweepstakes, best 0 ears in the show, was carried off by a Junior last year, Charles Wilson, a boy of 13 years. It will not surprise close observers If some of the "dads" be humiliated in this manner again this season. The club youngsters know corn and their selections are made with high degree of intelligence. Prizes for the boys and girls are of cash only and run out to five places in each lot. The offerings for corn cookery Includes corn bread, Boston brown, corn meal cookies and gems, hominy and canned corn, constitute a challenge to the fam ous cooks of the county. The cul inary department was included for the first time last season and it is expected by the management that 50 or more entries of corn cookery will be entered. Awards in every case are more than substantial. A. B. Horton, chairman of the managing committee, has report ed that music will be provided for Friday evening and a lecture will be given on Saturday afternoon bv an authority on corn culture. The Judging will be completed Friday. Business men and other residents of Dallas are preparing to visit the show in full force Fri' dav nleht. The Independence corn show Is a county : institution, being fi nanced partly from county funds. The county support Is supplement ed very strongly by the merchan dise and cash contributions ot the Independence business people. The total values hung up run well over $400. SAY WESTERN GIRLS NOT GIVEN FAIR DEAL Seattle, Wash., Nov. 16. Uni versity of Washington co-eds as represented by Dorothy Durrant, one of the fastest girl sprinters on the campus; Katherine mown, champion girl swimmer of the Pacific northwest; Jephorene Miller, Julia Boone and Katherine Bailey are asking why women or the far west are not chosen to rep resent the United States in the Olympic games. "On the recent Olympic games team practically every woman was from east of Chicago," com plains Miss Durrant. "Yet I have accurate figure to show that the girls of our own locality raad; better marks than they." SUGGESTS RELEASE OF MARY MACSWIHEY Dublin, Nov. 16. (By Associ ated Press.) Cardinal Logue, primate ot Ireland, suggests the release of Miss Mary MacSwlney from the Mount Joy prison, where she has been on hunger strike for eleven days. His suggestion was contained in a telegram to Kevin O'Higgins, Free State minister of home affairs. The message said that more harm would be' caused by detaining the women prisoners in Ireland than by liberating them.
