SOME COMPARISONS
Uath Thinks One Coyote Worth Three

UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRn.l

Tacoma, Wash, March 4.-De-
nouncing the commercialism of the
country, which makes human life the
cheapest thing in America" DR.. Har-
vey w. Wiley, former head Of the pure
food department of the government,
spoke to large gathering at the First
Christian church here last night
utah appropriated $4,000 for kill
ing coyotes and $4,000 for public
health; Iowa gave $4,000 to fight hog
cholera and $4,000 for public health
The same condition prevails in all
states" Wiley said. He thought the
Utah idea that one coyote was worth
three men, and the Iowa idea of one
hog being worth five men the result
Of a commercial spirit.
"The cities all try to get more fac
tories, regardless of the welfare Of
the workmen," said DR.. Wiley "The
city is not the place for the factory,
The factory makes the maintenance
Of the saloon and gambling den pos
sible, and workmen are huddled into
congested and unsanitary tenements."

SALEM WO0LLEN MILLS
PUT IN MORE LOOMS

By improvements that have been

recently the mill has increased its
capacity for output to a large degree
The improvement has been the install
tion of three new looms at a cost OF
about $4,000 The pay roll of the big
mill is continually on the increase
while the business of the mill is in.
creasing by great bounds. State
Treasurer Tom Kay states that the
output during 1912 amounted to $4O,-
900 more than in any previous year
and that the output for 1918 will
amount to as much more. From 1876
to 1870 men are employed at the mill
continually.
The amount Of wool used in the
mill yearly totals about 100000
pounds. Seventy-five per cent Of the
product is shipped outside the state,
about 60 per cent going TO eastern
markets. Mr. Kay tells some amusing
stories of woolen goods that are pur-
chased by Salem merchants from the
east under the impression that the
cloth from which the goods is made
is a product Of eastern mills, but
which has simply returned to Salem
in the shape Of suits and cloaks after
the cloth had been manufactured here
in the Kay mills
