Swift & Company Publicity At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of Swift & Company,which showed that the Company had been con sidering for some time an educational advertising campaign. The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business, relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people. The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and consumer are adversely affected by the packers operations, resulting in unreasonably large profits. Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents an insignificant factor in the cost of living. For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows: Sale $875,000,000. mmiimm. - a i Profits $34,650,000. This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500. If Swift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser would have received only one-eighth of a cent per pound more for his cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per pound on dressed beef.

Mr. Ross was there waiting for the motor, and when the German saw him he advanced with outstretched hand, and saluted Ross with what the detective says is the salutatlou sign of the alien sympathizer: "It is Ludwig, my friend, yes?" In stead of coming back with the phrase that would have branded him as an associate of the German spy, Ross be rated the stranger so strongly for mistaking him for an individual with a Teuton name, that the secret serv ice man was satisfied Rosa was not an agent of the Kaiser.

Dr. Anderson is best known throughout the state as the "Father" of prohibition, as he introduced In the state legislature the prohibition law of 1915 as well as the "bone-dry" law of 1917. That he is proud of the title is evidenced by the fact that when he filed notice of his candidacy for Governor he ordered the words 'Bone Dry; Win the War; Develop Oregon" printed after his name on the ballot. He is a native of Illinois, but has resided in Oregon for the past six teen years, all of the time in The Dalles. As a member of the Oregon legis lature in 1913-1915 and 1917 he has always been actively identified with the constructive measures coming before that body. He was a member Ml.
