MR. FACING-BOTH WAYS. Woodrow Wilson should kill off the manager of one of his press bureaus. His agent3 represent him as a progressive who would get the votes of Republican reactionaries. What a combination of intellect to imagine he . can fool the people in that way. A Democratic progressive who would depend for his election on the Grover Cleveland Reupblicans. o SMITH NOT A RAINMAKER. at in The Portland papers try to rob a Salem man of the glory of being the rainmaker. The Salem man cares nothing for the title, but wishes to point out a distinction. It is claimed for Gypsy Smith that he stopped the storm Portland the other night with prayer. There may have been such a coincidence in his behalf and behalf of his, work in that wicked city. But it is quite another thing to secure the rain when there is a long period of drouth and crops are suffering. That is all the Salem man claims to have done broken the drouth and made the state go wet in time of need. He did not do the praying himself, but acted as a promoter of a public prayer meeting that brought the rain. It is a little tough to bring a man all the way from London at a fifteen-thousand-dollar salary to take away the glory of a citizen of Oregon, but we will have to stand for it. Gypsy Smith can have the title of rainmaker, or even Colonel, if he will do eVer so little to im prove the morals of Portland. o MAKING MERCHANDISE OF SACRED THINGS. The editor of this paper cannot see why men who are holding high offices in the gift of the people shall make merchandise of them. When the Saviour was on earth he drove the money changers and those doing business in the temple out upon the streets with whips. But the man who gets a high office, goes upon a salary for the people who pay him, thinks nothing of selling his services over again. Senators, governors, congressmen and other public officials on big salaries write books, lecture for lyceums and state fairs, for big pay. Their fame and reputation came from the suffrages of the people, with whom they enter into a contract and take an oath to serve. s They no more than get into the office when they begin to take the people's time and money and start another campaign for higher office. They not only use the time they have sold to the people, but use the office room the people have put them into and the sta tionery and the office help the people pay for to run another campaign. On top of this they will sell their time over again to lecture bureaus and go around and talk to other people about honesty and reforms. Other statesmen write books and edit magazines on the time they have sold to the people, and instead of serving their con stituents. The worst of it all i3 they are considered reformers, and held up as better men than those who do not do these things, as a rule. They are about as honest as the hired man would be when employed by the rancher who would take another job clearing land for another man. If the hired man, in addition to his monthly salary, would once in a while take a day off and sell a load of wood or hay and pocket the money, he would be just about as honest. But the rancher would not stand for that and would dis charge the hired man, but we rather applaud the hired man of the people who takes his salary and then goes to making money on the side. We dub him a great reformer. o . NEWPORT IS PROGRESSIVE. The Newport city council has given the port commission three hundred feet of water front for city docks. Also a deed in escrow for 300 feet more. R. A. Bensell, who has been mayor of Newport for three terms, and has given the city a splendid system of mountain water supply, has been asked to take the office again. The city of Newport is taking steps to put in a sewer system, and keep up the sanitary conditions of that delightful summer resort.

SALEM STEAM LAUXDBT 1S-1M South Liberty Street THE RAILROAD COMMISSION . DOES GOOD WORK HAS SURVEYED LINES AXD MADE FARES CONFORM TO THEM AND CUT OFF TOLLS FOR CROSSING BRIDGES INTO PORTLAND. That the railroad commission Is doing great work for the people of Oregon cannot be denied by even the most radical. Every day cases are coming up In which the commission stands between the private shipper and large corporations. Evils which hare been going on for 25 years are being rectified and Justice Is being impartially extended to all. This Is not a board that glories In formali ties. Any one with a grievance can get before It without first taking a college course In law, or expending big sums to retain counsel. In regard to the adjustment of railroad fares, which the commission Is taking up in a quiet and friendly manner with the S. P., Hon. Frank J. Miller, one of the most conscien tious members of the board said: "When the O. R. & N. built the big bridge across the Willamette about 25 years ago, It added to every fare, both coming out of and going Into Portland, a five-cent bonus When the 8. P. came In they also added this rate. So that everyone that has either gone Into Portland or left that city over these lines has paid the company five cents more than the regular mileage fare. It is estimated that this bridge has paid for Itself many times over in this manner. Some time ago this privilege was taken from the O. W. R. & N., but not until the last few weeks hav the S. P. people agreed to amend this practice. "The matter of readjusting the passenger tariffs all along the S. P. lines has ben going on for some time. We have surveyed the entire road, and fares have been made to conform to these surveys. Not only this, but where the railroad goes In to the same city over different routes the short route has been made to determine the fare to that city on both lines. Fares have also been made more convenient by having the road given even change. This works out In this manner. Where the fare Is, say $1.03, the road Is allowed to charge $1.05, and where the actual fare Is, say $1.02 the fare will he but $1.00. In other words, the split will be made on cents. All above that amount going to the road, all below being in favor of the traveler. "Several Important cases will be up before the commission on the 15 16 and 17, and it Is probable that at that time the decision of this body will be given on several important matters." o IIOW.'S THIS!

WHAT WE DO CHAPTER 1 1 - Scientific Farm and Orchard Management Many farmers in their dairy herds have cows which do not pay for what they eat, The farmer does not realize it, be cause he does not test the milk in order that he may know of a certainty which cow does pay, There are also- fame is who can tell you all about their cows, but who cannot tell you whether they are making or losing money on their oth er farm products, This,. then, is the point at which Scienti fic Management comes in, or possibly a better term would be Business Management, We want to say, however, that we do on a large scale what may not always be practicable on a small scale, because the comparative cost on a small scale is greater than on a large one, although if one works out a system, 10 to 15 minutes a day ought to keep the rec ords, Any man who expects an expanding business can af ford that much time, We know to a certainty our cost of operajions, as well as incomes on our different products, For illustration, on all our farms, the milk, ,cream and butter used on the table is charged to the board account and dairy products' account credited, Likewise all vegetables from the garden, poultry products, etc,, are charged to the board account, and prop er credit therefor made in the various accounts, Up to Oc tober 1st of this season, the average cost per meal on one farmwas 13c, and on two others 16c, This may seem high to this who do their own work, but figure your own time, or hire a cook, and see if you can beat it, We also keep an ac curate record of what is fed to the livestock, as well as in come, This is carried on to include cost of production of the different farm crops and income therefrom, In other words, we have as complete a .cost system as any factory, The prac tical value is hard to estimate, - because it affects the divi dends ot the stockholders as well as the salaries of the man agers and laborers, It affects dividends to-the stockholders, because we know just about what our costs and yield should be. If managers costs are high, we tell him he has got to reduce them or lose ther job, This saves money for the stockholders. On the other hand, it helps the manager, be cause his salary is based on the average cost of farm work, If his costs go below that average, we give him a fair propor- i l Ke s.avm& t,1us increasirg his Profit, as well as the stockholders , You will also see how accounting saves mon ey on the board account, If a cook knows a job will not last if the meal costs are too high, he is naturally not so waste ful, On the other hand, it helps the cook, because if he can put up good meals and save us money over the average cook we pay him more salary, The foregoing illustrations are simple, but explain .to you how our Scientific Business System extends ot the smallest detail of the business, They also ilustrate how the system puts a premium on abiity and thorough work, by sharing with the laborers some of the profit accured to us by his skill, It brings to us the very best laborers, , The cost sysetm carried out on our large farms are car ried out in our orchard work, We know the" cost of the work on each tract. Not only that, in our commercial orchards a record will be kept of the yield of each tree, Trees have in dividual characteristics the same as cows, so if we find some that are not returning the yields we naturally expect, we will either put new ones in their place or graft in new pro ductive branches by using grafts from our most profitable trees, We.know how to get the maximum yields and profits, and are going to do it, v The A.
