GROWERS URGED TO
AID VINEGAR PLANT

With its present paid up capital
stock of $25, 600, the Hood River Apple
Vinegar Plant finds it impossible with
finances at its command to handle the
enormous Gull apple product of the
Valley each year, and to increase that
capacity of the industry and to make
it large enough to consume all apples
of the low grades, the growers of the
Valley have been asked to assist in
financing the institution. 1t is proposed
that each grower take a share of stock
of SlO for each of bearing orchard pay
ing the same in Gull apples, one half
this year and one half next wear.
The paper issued by the Commercial
Club urging action on the part of
growers is as follows:
Last year the Hood River Apple
Vinegar Company increased their tank.
age 80, 600 gallons. They also added
twelve large generators to their for
mer equipment. Their present capac-
lty in tankage is about 2i0, 900 gallons.
To meet the requirements of the trade.
a high grade cider vinegar should be
aged in wood, the same as whiskev is
aged in bonded warehouses.
THE policy Of the company is to
place on the market quality at a reas-
enable price and it will necessitate
building for this season from 500 to
zoo, 600 gallon vinegar storage tanks
and six more large generators.
THE Growers must keep in mind
that they are going into an established
business which is beyond the expert
mental stage and which has been built
up by outside capital and by the addi-
tion of an evaporator and cannery il
can be made an enterprise that will be
a credit to the Valley.
Last year about 500, 900 was paid
for cull apples and it was estimated
that at least 100 tons were refused on
account of tankage facilities.
The proposition the company has
made to the growers is most liberal
and should have the support of every
grower The time is so short for doing
the work necessary that some definite
action must come from the growers i'm
mediately.
The Commercial Club has been ad
vocating the building of a by y-products
plant here that will take care of the
vast amount of fruit and vegetables
that are allowed to rot on the ground
every year Here is chance for the
Growers to own such a plant and not
only share in the profits but it will
help the diversified crop which means
that you can raise everything and find
ready sale.
Mr.. Calkins has proven himself
most efficient manager and as long as
he is in charge of the plant. success is
assured"

THE MERCHANTS COOPERATION

The Glacier has been using its best
efforts to promote home trading among
the orchardists of the Valley and the
residents of the city. For the most
part the efforts have received the
favorable comment of patrons of the
paper However, some of those who
have read the recent issues of the
paper declare that they have been
driven to purchase outside of the city
and valley because of the high prices
that have been demanded here. To be
sure if all of the business of the Hood
River Valley We're to make unreason-
able charges, then one could not blame
the buyer from disrupting their bust
ness by trade abroad. But we feel
sure that those who say that the prices
have been found too high, could have
found a source of supply at reasonable
figures at homen The merchant is
entitled to reasonable profit and
should get it. lie who tries to make a
killing at the expense of his patrons
is lnjuring himself and the commun-
ity.

THE EFFECT OF COOPERATION

The investigation of the American
Commission, Of which DR.. Hector Mac.
pherson, Of the Oregon Agricultural
College, and Mr.. Starkweather, OF
Oregon City, were members and which
has been on a tour of Europe studying
agricultural conditions, should result
in much good to the agricultural indus
tries Of the United States. We have
heard of much cooperative effort on
the part Of American farmers. 1t has
been practised among the peanut grow
ers Of the south, the tobacco growers,
the orange men. the cantaloupe grow
ers and the orehardists. And in most
instances, It's results have been found
beneficial. But in the United States.
judging from the recent interesting
articles Of DR.. Macpherson in the Ore
gonian, cooperation has never reached
that penetrating, thrifty basis such as
has been found in European countries,
especially that of Denmark. The
American business man and the Amer
can farmer can learn much from a
perusal of DR.. Macpherson's stories of
the customs that prevail in Denmark
and Germany.
When there is no pinch, when the
wheels of progress are rolling smooth
ly, when there is no lull or cessation
in commercial and business circles, the
free and easy and extravagant methods
that are rather the rule than the ex-
ception in American business circles
works fairly well. But when circum-
stances and conditions arise that i'm
pede the business dealings, when dol
lars hide themselves and investors
become conservative, when the GUS
toner finds il difficult to pay his bills,
then the American realizes that his
system is truly faulty.
II may be that the American busi-
ness man and the American farmer
thhN thNil % NidontHt viii HIOuuCt
more individuals of great wealth than
may be found in any other country.
They work on more of a speculative
basis at high fever tension. But the
most substantial community is that
founded on thrift and frugalty. One
does not have to travel out of Oregon |
to find examples of a system among |
business men that leads to an extrava-
gance among their customers, and a
great many too many of them. without
any fault of their own, overbuy them
selves.
And our cooperative concerns, while
they may have been successful temper
arily, are operated on an expensive |
basis, on what one may call specula-
tive basis. To reap the greatest ben
efits for all concerned, they must be
based on solidity, even though their
expansion in acquiring this is retarded.

in which the public would suffer terriby-rather
than submission TO arbitration under its terms.
If the Erdman act is so imperfect, Congress
should be asked to amend it. At least, it affords
way to get at the merits of controversy and to let
the public know the facts That is what is now
wanted.
In this connection it may be said that the public
thoroughly understands that when additional burdens
are now imposed upon the railroads compensation
NAV have to be afforded them in the way OF in
creased rates. If rates are now reasonable and
load of more millions is put upon the roads, money
must be provided from somewhere to meet the addi'
tional expense and it must come out of the pockets
of the people They will demand that the hremen
show concusively the justice of their claims before
asserting further burden themselves for the bene
fit of labor that is now generally understood to be
well remunerated.

THE CENTER ENTRANCE" CARS.

1t would be interesting if plebiscite could be
taken among tine patrons of street cars to determine
sentiment toward the center entrance dreadnoughts
that have recently been put into service on some oi
the Washington Railway and Electric lines There
may be substantial reason why car so generally
unsatisfactory to the public should be used, but it
not apparent The seats are not long enough, and
they are of peculiarly uncomfortable construction
The passenger who fortunately gets the seat next the
window can't possibly squeeze himself into small
enough space to give more than half chance to his
ncighbor on the outside, who must sit diagonally,
with his feet in the AISLE in order to avoid slipping
off Persons using the aisles have the pleasant
alternative of walking on or falling over the lines
Of feet thus disposed.
The center vestibue of the car becomes Con.
gested beyond decency, comfort the possibility OF
prompt usage, whenever the car is we'll filled.
These cars are understood to be, for the present
an experiment We make bold to say to the railway
company tnat they have not been popular one with
patrons.

THE EXPECTED HAPPENS IN THE RAIL.
ROAD DISPUTE.

There is little surprise at the announcement that
the Eastern railroads have agreed to submit their
differences with their fremen, which threatened to
tie up all the lines east of the Mississippi to arbra-
ton under the Erdman act Ii has not been believed
possible that the managers Of these great ransporta-
ton systems would plunge the country into such
hardships would be brought about by stoppage of
freight and passenger service while their employees
stood ready to arbiTate under the only law provided
for the settlement of such differences.
The railroad managers assert that the Erdman
act imposes too great responsibility upon the one
man VINO holds the balance of power. They contend
that the usual procedure under the act is to settle
the dispute by compromising differences, a plan
which does not at all take into consideration the real
rights of the parties to the controversy and of the
public.
Granting that there is justice in this complaint,
ae public has not been able to see that scheme
Of arbitration with which serious fault has not been
heretofore found and which mas served to prevent
several disastrous labor wars, is bad to
a Trial Of strength between the contendins factions
