MONEY' IN SUGAR BEETS EVERY clay or two sops an adance In sugar prices. Profits to the makers under normal conditions are tremendous. Now they are fabulous. And there seems nothing to prevent their mulcting the general public to their heart's desire. These are surely halcyon days for the sugar interests who take care not to share their profits with the actual produooi-s for the beet growers are paid the same as when sugar sold for half of what it does now. A sample of the past year's operations is afforded by the statements of the American Heet Sugar ('. for the year ending March .'51, showing gross receipts of $10,179,29:, a gain of $2,174,870. After paying preferred stock divi dends, $2,871,8.'ll was left over for the common, nearly 20 per cent. No wonder beet sugar operations are on the in crease and the tariff left on indefinitelv to protect this "infant industry." E very where throughout the country there are strikes, a sure sign of prosperity, ofMoilers demanding a share in the prosperitv. Statistics show that the increased wages already granted total $700,000,000 annually. But the beet grower are under contract and held in bond. They can not strike. The Xew York Times recentlv printed statistics con cerning the price paid for beets in Europe where they do tilings belter than in the United States. The French gov ernment has decreed that the price of beets for the com ing year shall be $9.(5o per ton, paid to the grower by the manulacturer. Hie Austrian government has hxed a min imum of $8.12 as a figure to be paid the Austrian fanner. Yet American manufacturers are paying an average of $y.o0 a ton to the tanners oi the united States only l.oO and $5 to the farmers of the Itoguc River valley a little more than half that paid the European farmer.' There is money in sugar beets to the manufacturer and the pub lic pays the tariff. The war, of course, is the excuse for the robberv of VYovy man, woman and child in the land by excessive prices for sugar but then- is no reason why the profits of the beet sugar kings should not be shared with the actual pro ducer the beet grower. The consumer would not feel so exasperated if he knew t lie; loot was being distributed among the larmers but there is no division of spoils. "When contracts are offered for another vcar, the grower should insist that they be based upon the price of sugar so that the iarnier may share in the plot its he helps create. What Became of Joe Dies? A True Story of Pioneer Days of Southern Oregon by O. A. Strums. (Continued From Tuesday.) In 1S61 tho road from Ashland, In Hear creok valloy, croaacd the Cas cade mountains southwest of tho Orubb ranch, from whence one branch turned oast past the Wells ranch, crossed the head of Grizzly, thence turned northeast up a nar row glade to tho "Kimball Iloxle" place. The Grizzly prairie ran near, ly south from where the road or trail crossod It, and was nearly two mlloa long. Joe Dies and his oartv had beon staying with" their bachelor friends, Jamos Kimball and James Iloxle, for quite a time andMoe's health had somowhat Improved so that he took an occasional Jaunt with some one of his companions In quest of game. It was whon returning from one of his hunting trips toward the Cas cade summit that he and Ilobert Taylor came Into tho road near tho Wells place about sundown on a late October day. They hnd met with no succoaa that day and were on their way to camp. Juat aftor passing tho Wells place they came in sight of some horses nearly half way down drizzly prairie, and rec ognizing them as some of tholr anl ninls. and fearing they were hoad Ing for tho Hogue river valloy. Ho bort handed his gun to Joe and tell ing him to go on to camp, that ho would go and got the horses and left him for that purpose Shortly after he had left Joe he heard a rifle shot In the direction of the point of tim ber through which the trail led but there uas no second shot lie caught the horses and proceoded to camp expecting to find Joe there ahead of him. Not finding him there he very naturally concluded that Joe had shot a deer and was delayed by reason of halng to dress It, but would arrive later. Supper having been prepared and eaten and there being no appear ance of Joe, his comrades became uneasy and resorted to the firing of a gun at Intervals, thinking that in the darkness Joe must have lost his wa); but though they kept up the firing at Intervals all night it was without avail. As soon as It was light enough to see seme of his com rade went to where he and Ilobert j had separated and by diligent search tracked Joe to where he entered the belt of timber. There they found fresh deer tracks and soon saw the i bloody trail of a deer and a man's, tracks following It. They followed' thoae tracks around through the brush for some distance until they entered the denser timber, where they could follow them no more. They spout that and the following several da)s in a thorough search, aided by all the residents of that neighborhood, but the only further sign was sovcral miles to the north ward whore It would soem that some one had sat against a dead tree In a small burnt deadening. After a week's search all hope of finding him cither alive or dead had to be abandonod on account of an early auow fall, so his companions reluc tantly gave up the search and re turned to Gassbtirg. (To He Continued.) toda as a result of the far-reachhiff sight of these men and of their lofty achievements. Woodrow Wilson is a man with a vision. Ilo scps a nation that can ox- ortal Washington and his lit. prosperous and content, without a of a new nation, swept free of po litical graft and trickery, of a na tion that has been plunged beneath Iti Jordan of political reform and j emerged spotless and clean. ft.- I ...-f ll'..klnafni 1 IIS I III III I . - -. 1 II.

H. C GLA3COCK. DO THE PEOPLE WANT EFFICIENCY IN OFFICE? A1TT1'R fight is being waged against Secretary of State Hen V. Olcott by the Portland Orcgonian, Ciovenior Withyeoinbe and the stand-pat wing of the re publican party. It is not denied that Mr. Olcott has made an efficient and satisfactory secretary of state, that his administration has been it business regime and that he has conscientiously administered his office. He is admittedly competent, hon est, conservative and careful. The charges against him consist in an appeal to prejudice. Air. Olcott was appointed to the office by (iovcrnor West find nominated and elected by the republicans. Gov ernor West, throughout hi regime, endeavored to secure efficiency and ignored politics. Yet the fact that the ap pointment was made by a democratic executive, though approved both at the primaries and the polls by repub licans, disqualifies .Mr. Olcott in the eyes t)f the reaction aries. Asa member of the state board, .Mr. Olcott has all along acted as he thought for the best interests of the state. He opposed Governor West when he thought he was wrong and sided with TreaMirer Kay when he thought he was right. Similarly, he has opposed Governor Withycomhe when he thought he was wrong and supported him when he thought he was right. lut this does not satisfy the gov ernor, who seeks to build up a political machine that ac cepts without question the dictates of his kitchen cabinet Had Mr. Olcott blindly followed the governor there would be no opposition to his re-election. As ft matter of fact, it is a uood thinir for the stale to have an officer on the iMiard of control who is indejHMideut and honest enough to disagree with his associates when they act contrary to his lest judgment especially when that officer has his records in such excellent shape as Mr. Olcott. No business in Oregon, public or private, is more ably administered, with less friction or greater efficiency or with a more perfect, up-to-date system, that Mr. Olcott conducts tho office of secretary ofstate. Any citizen can secure at a minute's notice any information he seeks, and it would be a great mistake to iiermit jmrtisau H)litics to replace such a man with a politician of the old school trained in the theory that public office is machine sikuIs. A NEW CHARITY PLAN T I'DGK HKNIv'V NKII., father of the mothers' jxnkjion J Ktcui, has evolved a new plan for charity work which promises a lwtter cure than the present enterprises ma i miser wim results ami ignore causes. More than half m billion dollar was lM-queathed to Immi evolcut and charitable institutions last year. Judge Neil proposes instead that the money be used to endow indi vidual family homes, where dependent mothers and their children can find a refuge. He outlines his planus follews: If the whole t'.iMi (lOO.ooo given to tmnevolent inktitutions ia 115 h.d oven vint for tndluduul home for deuenditnt mothers and thrlr rhIUIrrn loo, mm families could have been preaened and the children cared for by their own mothers us (lod Intended, in the course of a few warn the public institution which are ao eipenehe and so destruc tive of our IdealH of I a m 1 1 hie. could he closed up tad thlldhood pov erlv nbollahed "I would have these Indhldual homes bought In different places so there neer would be a colon) ' In this wa the familiea would not be branded a charm people and would retain their self-respect, uecessan for all growth aud progress In the mothers' pension homes children will lie rwtsed under normtl loii.ltuoiu including ibeir own mothers love and companionship, tnd the touiider u( each borne will bae the aaiurai lion o( knowing tht all of tluir inoiiev will lemaiu in the place where it will Jo the greatest good The idea ts worth iyluo, as ti would not onlv provide iii.i.'iiii .. ., Aronlnfrdv lJnmnvM niin in in joini, I'toiiimi! una suiumi v 'uri'.iiitainn-,, uut ADSOiuuij du iiiuvLb j(Jvii p,((XI,lc.
