MATTERS O PMOMENT TO GREAT

Shall 8nl8in adopt a policy of pro
gruttslttt growth? Or shall Salem be
content to Hit down nnd with folded
hands take what oomea in her?
Tlii jA.Hrn.al Iim always had contl

Tho population of this city can bo

who reads this paper will adopt hope

No city can grow at more than a
snail's pace without steadfast, consis
tent nnd everlastingly nggrsslve
Improvements.
If ovory reader of this papor will
go to work to get ono family to como
to Saiom next year Salem will double
In population.
But people who como here must be
employed. Public Improvements alone
will employ common labor, and help
build up tho suburbs rapidly.
Will you labor to get pooplo to como
and live In Salem? Will you favor
a policy that shall rosult in building
sowors, streets, otc?
Whnt about a water systom for
Qroater Salom7 Has not the tlmo
come for this city to begin to consldor
tho proprloty of buying or "building n

Why would It not bo wlso for tho

The city of Salem ajono has the
right to mnko contracts with tho Blato

and yet the stato could Join tho city In

Tho stato nnd the city could bring

Into tho oroeks that flow oponly

A sower Byfltom for Creator Salem

Tho city should havo tho right to

In adopting an adequate sowor systom
for tho city and tho Institutions. Tho
sanitation and welfare of the ono nf
facta tho othor.
It Is to bo hoped that tho commltteo
of tho Greater Salem Commercial
Club on tho oxtonslon of the electric
linos to Chomawn will soon got n con
ference with Mr. J. J. Honry, of Don.
ver. tho ownor of the plant.
That committee la composod of
Mayor Ilishop, John It. Albert and E.
A. Plerco. A meeting of the oltlzons
should ho hold nt Chemawa to seo
whnt can bo done to promote the mat
tar. With the students, nt the school
thero are about a thousand persons in
that neighborhood, and their business
Is worth consideringIt Is worth go
ing utter with soma onergy.
It will be said Uiat we alroady get
their business, but that Is not true In
the sense of their convenience. Those
people would come to Salem live times
when thy come now once If they had
an electric cur Hue with service every
halt hour.
Salem should nppainf committer
who www go and visit other commu
littles that want extension of motor
lines from this city, nnd tlnd out what
they are willing to do to get them.
9iilem should nleo push hard fer the
Kails City ami Salem railroad to 1
ooMpleied to tale city. Then are mat
ters that mmu much to Create- Sa
lem, and their ueglect la the greatest
u wisdom.
Salem has had several managements
uf Its electrie plant and car lines, and
what Iirb Iteeti the experience! They
have lat money on the plant by thou
sands of dolkirs.
The Salem men who started the en
terprise lost money mi the electric
plant, or wire frusea out of the prop
erty by sharper managers. The prop
erty was run down so as to treeae them
ouU
Wore the two managements of the
Salem- ujeotrlo car linos before Mr.
Henry, for tho purpose- of building up
tho property or of running It 'down,
and forcing It to bo sold for a song?
Did Btopptug the operation of cars
to the Garden Road and to Morning
side build up tho property or reduce
Ub earning capacity?
If Mr. Henry will reverse these pro.
ccssqs and restore uiose lines, ana
oven extend the electric lines, ho will
increase the proflts of the business
and Increase tho earning power of tlio
plant.
1 If Mr. Henry will extend tho electric
lines north to Chemawa and south to
Liberty and Itoaodalo, and make them
belt lines ho will come nearer to mak
ing his propertlcfl valuable than by re
ducing the service.
Linos to Chemawa and Itoscdalo
could mako operation expenses on cord
wood alone. Tho passonger business
would bo clear profit.
Mr. Honry can pursue tho oxpanslon
policy, or he can follow tho restrictive
policy, and reduce his plant to a min
imum. Tho Journal believes tho only salva
tion of Mr. Henry In tho ownership of
tho Salem electric linos and light plant
Is in oxtondlng them, running a larger
plant, and making It more profitable.
Tho Journnl believes that tho only
salvation of Salem Is In the extension
of these electric lines. Any policy
that will result In their oxtonslon
should bo adopted by this city as a
business proposition.
An olectrlc motor line from Salem to
Chemawa, or to Rosedale, or to Me
hama, would double and quadruple the
Intercourse between this city and
thoso communities.
Tho ownership of tho Salem olectrlc
plant by a man who would pursue a
policy of repression would bo a mis
fortune to this city.
Wo have had too much of that kind
of ownership in tho past. A policy
that will keep up tho proportlos, end
oxtend them, means a groat deal to
thiu city.
Tho Journnl bollevos thnt Mr Henry
will como nearer keoplng up tho light
plant nnd extondlng tho motor linos
than anyone who has yet had con
trol of the proporty.
Tho Journnl has boon full of com
plaints of Into about the neglected
condition of tho North Mill creek
ditch. The proporty has become an
oyosoro to tho public, nnd probably as
great a problom to tho owners.
It Is estimated that It will cost $2500
to repair tho ditch covorlng, nnd that
whole wator powor Is a constant
Bourco of oxponso to the proprietors.
It Ib to bo rogrcttcd that so largo
and valuable n wator powor mint llo
Idle, the proporty unitBod nnd depreci
ating, and tho powor going to wasto.
That Booms an unusual caso of ne
glected opportunities.
Tho powor could bo used for small
er manufactories, or to mako light
with for the city. 'It sooms remark
nblc to go to Sllvorton for power to
crcato olectrlc current, whon It Is go
ing to wasto at our doors.
Thoro Is a great deal of wasto with
prlvato ownorehlp of such properties,
and thero might be a great deal moro
with public ownership. Still such a
groat economc wasto is a strong nrsU -
mont for Socialism.
It would bo a godsond to this town
If that powor could bo utilized for
manufacturing purposes. It would
turn all tho whuols In the city, and
mnke lights for tho factories besldos.
Tho Portland ownorshlp of the Sa
eom flouring mills has never beon ban
eflcial to Salem. Tho closing up and
removal of tho machinery of the big
North mills Is woll romomborod.
A circular was sont out to tho farm
ers last spring thnt virtually announcod
the closing of tho mills on South Mill
creek. Tho farmers, for roasons host
known to themselves, havo quit tak
!ng their wheat to thoso mills.
There Is all tho dlfforonce In the
world betweon a reprosslvo and an
expansive policy a policy that closes
down Industries, or a polley that builds
them up.
Who can deny that the paralysing
hand of the milling trust has been
throttling the flour industry at Salem?
A more enterprising management
might have kept thee Industrie alive
and nourishing.
An expansive policy would have ex-
tended the markets for Salem flour,
would have Increased the output.
would have encouraged the farmers
in luit In n 1ii)-a auMuBB it u-Tiant .ml

pianw. naa reuuew me ncreae or
wHeat. 1ms destroyed Salem as a mar
ket tor wheat, while mills all around
us have made money eut of the mill
lug buelneee.
The Salem willing plants, under an
euterpribtng and progreeelve policy,
would have enlarged their business,
would have utilised more water power,
instead of letting It go to waste.
An expaueton policy would have
found more wheat to grind, would have
encouraged the wheat grower and
built up Salem as a market for grain
and flour and mlllsmtrg.
A different managqment or control
of thoso water powers and large mills
might havo mado them very valuable
'pieces of property, and capable of
earning money for tho owners.
In place of having them stand idlo
tho greater part of tho year, and In
placo of removing tho machinery and
closing tho mills, a better manager
would havo run them summer end
winter, day and night, as other mills
run.
A more enterprising ownership
might havo made these, properties
earn great proflts, and would In overy
way havo extended their business. In
stead of killing It off systematically by
thvj reverse procoss.
There may ho persons who grow
weary of tho discussion of matters re
lating to the growth and expansion of
this city.
To alt such wo will say that without
agitation thoro Is only stagnation
ahead of this community.
Why? Because thoro are so many
othor live, pushing places competing.
for public attontlon, that a Salem
nowspapor cannot afford to remain si
lent and Indifferent.
Progress is tho law of tho world,
and a city cannot afford to adopt tho
slow process of vogetatlon. There Is
too much Invested hero already.
If ono Individual owned tho city, he
could not afford to allow his capital to
become unprofitable. Ho would push
for proflts.
If the annual Increaso In values nnd
tho annual earning power was not
equal to tlio Interest on the Invest
mont, ho would try to mako It so.
Whon tho unearned Increment at
tachlng to any community Is less than
tho fixed charges, that city will run
bohlnd. It may oven gain In popula
tion, but it is growing pooror.
So a city cannot afford to fall below
Its maximum rate of growth. If it
does, It Is what Is called a slow town.
Salem cannot afford to grow nt a
snnll's pace.
From that standpoint this papor wIU
discuss and agitato Greater Salem.
