More pay rolls and a greater market for raw materials produced represent the greatest needs of Western Oregon. How this end may be accomplished is a matter of wide divergence of opinion, and a study of the methods of other progressive cities, working in the same direction, would naturally prove of value to promoters of industrial development in this city. The Commercial club of Logansport, Indiana, makes a state ment in connection with its remarks relative to the locating of industries, which deserves consideration. We quote: "It is the contention of the club that several small industries are better for a city the size of Logansport than a few larger ones at whose mercy the city would be. The results from the operation of this theory have so far proved its soundness." The reorganization of the Progressive Union of New Orleans into its present form as the Assoociation of Commerce has led to the assignment of all industrial stimulation to the industrial division. Within the past three months, under this new plan of operation, four new important ' actor ies have been located in the city. The Chamber of Commerce of Quincy, Illinois, emphasizes a point in connection with this whole matter of locating industries that can be best understood by quoting direct: "We are working out a systematic plan for direct industrial advertising. By this plan the advantages of Quincy are brought directly to the attention of selected manufacturers in a way most likely to impress them with this city as a location for man ufacturing. The principal advantages of the plan are, its rela tively nominal cost and the fact that it avoids the waste of time, labor and money incidental to many other methods, used for at tracting the attention of manuf acturers." its operation has caused a deficit of $40,000 in the street rail way operations. i But, on the other hand, the owners of the se additions, as soon as the street railroad became an assured fact, at once jumped the price of property in the district more than $750,000. Here the building of a street railroad for the benefit of the people generally, and the reduction of fares, made this property valuable. It also compelled the citizens of the city to go down into their pockets to make up the deficiency caused by provid ing cheap transportation to this, before isolated property. Who was benefitted? The owners of the land which the building of the road made valuable. If the city had owned that land, or bought it before providing the railroad, it could have sold it at a much lower price to those desiring to make homes on it, which building could have been made a condition precedent to its sale by the city, and thus the home builder would have been benefit ted, while the city would have been compensated for its en forced 'outlay. As it was, the city built the road, made the property valuable, and presented the consequent profits to the land speculators. Was this good business policy ? Would any private corporation have built the road without first acquiring the lands and securing the profits following the opening of the new territory? The low fares and the new road poured money into the pock ets of the speculators, and the balance of the city paid the tills. When Salem or any other city operates its own public utility plants it should take in no additional territory unless the city owned the land, and every city charter should be amended so as to permit this, if it is not so worded now. PUBLIC BUSINESS FOORLY MANAGED. THERE is one thing that every city should watch carefully, and that Salem should be especially chary about, and that is extending the city's area. Salem now has abundant room inside her present limits for a city of 100,000, and perhaps more than that. The desire to have the city show up well, and give it rank, is all right, but sometimes this is a whistle that costs more than if is worth. With her present limits Salem knows just what she faces in the way of public improvements, but the minute she increases her area she makes expense for herself. The time is coming when the city will own her own water system, her lighting plant, and probably her gas and other public utility necessities. With every extension of territory there comes an element of in creased cost without a corresponding income. It is the compar atively great cost of supplying the suburbs that makes any city plant, like water or lighting, expensive, and yet, under public ownership, every citizen must be taken care of. The water mains must be laid in sparsely settled districts at great expense with but little return possible. It will be time enough to con sider a larger territory when we have buildings on the many va cant lota now within the city limits. Until these are built upon, the city needs no more territory and is only making expense for herself when she acquires it. As a suggestion merely, why would it not in case the city should conclude to increase her territory at any time (especially when she owns her own water, light and other plants, and is, therefore, forced to supply such areas as she includes within her boundaries) be the proper thing for the city to purchase the pro posed addition and reap some of the benefits of the values it cre ates, by selling the lots at a price that would, in part at least, meet the expense of furnishing them with water, light, etc.? The price need not be exorbitant, nor the deal made with the idea of making money from the real estate business, other than in protecting herself against the expenses the addition will nec essarily place upon her. Cleveland is a case in point. Cleveland owns and operates her street car system, and does the latter so economically that recently fares were reduced from five to three cents. Owning her street car linos, the city was in duty bound to give service to all her people. In order to do this it becomes necessary to extend the system through the sparsely settled and lnrge area. This extension was opened not a great while ago, and shortly after the three-cent fares were put in force.

At ces in Oregon, the state will soon holders will be in the majority, ontrol the elections. There are vernor now to control the elec-didate. John D. Rockefeller is rather diffident about talking over his wealth with the assessors or persons charged with the collection of his taxes. However, he politely writes them that he "will see them later." The largest soap factory in the republic is loca'ted at Torreon. But that is not why the Mexican factions are fighting so hard for its possession. Governor West's critics may be a little easier on him now. Al though he destroyed the Copper field gambling devices he saved the whiskey. Even though Colonel Goethals made the Panama canal zone sanitary, he seemed to lack faith in his own ability to clean up New York. Japan seems to have reached the high plane of Western civili zation at last. Taxation is so high that the people are in open rebellion.
