WHY OREGOS LACKS SUGAR.
The threatened sugar famine is an
object lesson in the wisdom of devel
opment of home supplies of such
staples. It has been proved that the
sugar beet is a success in both east
ern and western Oregon, for it was
grown in the Grande Ronde valley
to supply a refinery at La Grande
and in the Rogue valley to supply
another at Grants Pass. Both refin
eries were closed and the industry
was abandoned, but it was continued
long enough to prove that sugar beets
grow well in Oregon soil.
Oregon is now threatened with a
sugar famine because employes of a
refinery in California and stevedores
at California ports have struck. This
is a repetition of our troubles during
the war, when submarines sank so
many ships that no tonnage was
available to bring sugar from Java,
where there was abundance. There
should be no danger of coffee with
out sugar because of labor troubles
in California when Oregon is capable
of producing sugar, even if the cost
would be somewhat higher.
Most of the troubles growing from
deficiency of necessary things dur
ing the last few years have arisen
from neglect to develop our own re
sources. "That was true as to the
Unitel States in relation to the out
side world. It now proves true as to
Oregon in relation to the other
states. Oregon should make sure of
sugar by growing it. Oregonian.
PAY ROLLS.
Thirteen hundred officers have re
signed from the regular army since
the armistice was signed, or one in
every eight. The general staff is ex
ercised about it and recently ordered
an investigation. The report shows
that high cost of living is the chief
cause, and remarks that the war de
partment is now paying a hodcarrier
substantially as much as a second
lieutenant, and a plasterer more than
a first lieutenant who may have had
seven years of university and hospi
tal training. Both pay and allowance
of the army officer are included, and
he gives all his time against the
wage earner's eight hours.
Perhaps in an ideal adjustment of
human values, a plasterer is worth
more than a first lieutenant or than
a brigadier general; but the plas
terer's seven and a quarter dollars a
day, he says, barely covers his cost
of living, and a first lieutenant has
been brought up and educated to a
more expensive plane of living.
The chief victims of this high cost
of living are the salary earners, the
savers, the unorganized inarticulate
wage laborers. And they get the
least consideration, because they are
usually not in a position to raise a
row. The government is no better
employer, from the point of view of
the people on its pay roll or from the
point of view of society as a whole,
than any private concern is. It pays
its lieutenants now just what it paid
them in 1908, and it can hardly pay
them mqre, because it has to pay its
plasterers seven and a quarter dollars
a day or more if the plasterers ener
getically demand it. Its pay roll ex
hibits the same inequality as any
others; in fact, a greater inequality
than most pay rolls. Extending the
field of government employment of
labor promises nothing. Saturday

ROOSEVELT HIGHWAY.
Progress of an encouraging nature
is reported from Washington regard
ing the $2,500,000 government ap
propriation to match Oregon's issue
for the Roosevelt Memorial High
way.
This bill is now in the hands of
the house road committee and Rep
resentative Hawley wires that he
hopes for a favorable report on the
measure within the coming week.
The Roosevelt highway is one of
the most important road building
plans before congress and the en
tire Pacific coast from Canada to
the Mexican line is directly interest
ed in its success. It is intended to
be not only a public highway tra
versing a route unsurpassed in
scenic attractions and tapping some
of the richest timber and agricultur
al districts of the coast, but also a
military road, forming a great factor
of the coast defense system.
Oregon took the lead in this pro
ject by passing a measure appro
priating $2,500,000 for the work,
This was on condition that the gov
ernment appropriate an equal
amount and now both Washington
and California are proceeding along
similar lines. This 50-50 plan of
road building was a new one and the
people are catching the fever with
great rapidity. They are awakening
to the fact that highly improved
highways are the salvation of the
country, industrially and commer
cially, and that first class roads
along the coast must be had in order
to perfect our system of national de
fense. Pendleton E. 0.
HIGH COST OF HUNTING
In our fathers' time, hunting was
a cure, unadulterated sport, tree
from the tinges of commercialism
Fish and game were plentiful anu
could be obtained at little cost from
stream and field. And this helped
mightily in keeping down the meat
bill.
But now enters the law of supply
and demand. The game decreases,
the cost of hunting game increases.
In the old days ten cents worth of
powder, five cents worth of shot, the
family muzzle loader and a leisurely
day out of doors meant meat plen
ty of it. A generation ago, in almost
every state, game was far more plen
tiful than it is today.
With the increase of population
and the invention of modern sport
ing arms, wild birds and beasts have
become almost exterminated. Yet
where certain game is protected for
a period of time by a rigid law, that
game shows a tendency to multiply
in numbers. The prairie chickens
and China pheasants in this county
are good examples.
But as we said before, the law of
supply and demand is working and
has affected the cost of hunting as
in other lines of human pursuit. It
costs money to go hunting now and
the sportsman hardly would dare cal
culate the price of the duck or quail
he brings home.
Guns and ammunition have gone
up; usually there is a railroad fare j
to be added in, or there is gas to be
paid for, and a good bird dog it
worth as much as a good horse.

The latest product of a Michigan
farm-implement factory seems likely
to start an "own your own thresher"
movement among farmers who have
been dependent upon the conven
ience of a community machine, says
the September Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The new thresher is 19
ft. long and 8 ft. 5 in. high, weighing
with all equipment, 3,600 lbs., and
handling 150 bu. of grain an hour.
A tractor, 16 hp. or over, will run it.
The threshing mechanism is unusual,
consisting of four claws on arms re-
rolved by a crankshaft at 22S r.p.m.,
stripping the grain as it passes be
tween them. The elevator arm is
adjustable to any height of wagon
bed for direct loading. With this individual-sized
implement, the farm
er has only himself to blame if his
crop is not threshed at the proper
time.
