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.

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:
