To the Editor: We are one of quite a few farmers who could not buy necessary equipment because of certain dealers, and their co horts. Many of us have tried over a period of time to get a rototiller for our berry and gar den work. Yes, I may say, one farmer has had an application in for one for two years. Then we heard they were available and would be demon strated and for sale at the fair grounds. We went in good faith to see, and buy same. But lo! and behold! these dealers and their cohorts would not let this man unload, dem onstrate or sell this carload of rototillers. Also another car load on the way had to be stopped at Portland and sent back. If this man had so much as tried to sell any, someone would have gotten hurt, or should I say beat up? One look at this bunch was enough! Now then, the factory is man ufacturing this machine, they are plentiful, tell me why these same dealers aren't sell ing them, and won't let anyone else sell them? What has become of the down payments made to these deal ers in good faith to get this power machine, and why have- n t they supplied them? We depend on the soil for a living. Why must we bow to gangster methods and suffer loss of crops, plants, etc. for this minority? Also the man who represent ed this equipment, wanted to put a notice of explanation in your paper to the farmers who were so disappointed in not get ting this merchandise and was refused by this paper (Capital Journal). I wonder, is this still the United States, and if so, where are our freedom and rights that save Mp 0 29 P'nT" with NO RUBBING AEROWAX it on -Ones ho to a shine! TT I 8 W ANOTHER BARGAIN!

Editor's Note The county agent's office says that rototill ers,' handled by different con cerns and under different trade names, are on the market and that inquiry will reveal sour ces from which they may be purchased. To the Editor: In regard to the new proposed parking lo cation on the east side of High street, we heard from the city administration, the press and the county, now from Mr. John Q. Public. As I remember this was pro posed by a man last October or November. It passed rather un noticed, again it comes to right as a valuable suggestion.

Lydia L Pinkham's TAOICTS TRAVEL rOR MOTORISTS APRIL 17-23 There's plenty to do this week in the Northwest Roam down any compass point, on almost any day, and you'll find a wealth of events that will make those regular scenic tours more interesting and more edu cational. If you're looking for a place to go, perhaps one of these events will add interest to your travels. CENTRAL WASHING TON MUSIC FESTIVAL Ellensburg, Washington, April 18 Approximately 900 high school contestants will participate in this annual event. 4-H CLUB STOCK SHOW Odessa, Washington, April 19 Young farmers will partici pate in the eighth stock show of this type since 1940. mercial street is a hazard In re gards to safety," traffic is choked in, the site is absolutely inade in fact it is a disgrace for a town of this size. High street affords ample room, the minimum of traffic hazards, it is close to the busi ness district and in no way should it mar the beauty of our future courthouse. In the matter of county objec tions I can't see how they differ in any respect from a private land owner. Surely their sov ereign right does not supercede city requirements. With the widening of High street ample room would be available for all requirements.

SUMMERSHIElD NOW NW-4.10 are self-minded instead of civic minded. Salem has been retard ed by old-fashioned ideas that some were the salt of the earth. forgetting it takes all kinds of people to make Salem bigger and better. I dare say the objections are coming from those who do not have to ride the buses. What do they know of staggered schedules waiting in the rain or sun. I say more power to the city administration and the High street project and let public of ficials consider the mass of the people whom this will help. Through this forum people should voice their opinion and let our city embark on a new campaign to be a bigger and bet ter Salem, not for a few but every one. R. S.'
