KEEP THE DUTY ON SUGAR.

The necessity of not only preserv-
ing every present source of Govern
mental revenue but of drawing more
heavily on some of those sources is at
last impressing on the mind of Presi-
dent Wilson the wisdom of retaining
the duty on sugar, at least until the
emergency caused by the war is past.
Beet-sugar production has proved so
profitable that it might have in
creased, without the protection af-
forded by the tariff, and the consumer
might have benefited by lower prices
had sugar become duty-free, but the
disturbance of market conditions con-
sequent to the war has deprived us of
the opportunity to prove by expe-
rience whether that belief was we'll
founded. The fact remains that ex-
clusi0n from the worlds market of
the German, Austrian and Russian
supply of beet sugar has held prices
at a high figure. 1t has impressed
upon us the wisdom of developing a
| domestic supply to supplement that
which we draw from our insular pos
sessions. There is no reason to be-
lieve that under present conditions
removal of the duty would materially
reduce the price.
The question then naturally arises,
why not retain the duty and thereby
encourage increase of the domestic
supply to meet our own needs and at
the same time to give the Govern
ment sadly needed revenue? A duty
which adds only slightly to the price
of sugar brings in so large a revenue
as to be wise from a revenue stand
point alone 1t has been so recog-
nized not only by protectionist coun-
tries but by free-trade Britain also.
Were the present duty continued
for a few years without change and
then reduced, if at all, only by de-
grees as it becomes unnecessary fer
revenue and competition assures to
the consumers the benefit of reduc-
ton the beet industry might be great
" extended and firmly established
Oregon soil is so we'll adapted to beet
growing that a sugar refinery Is now
PROJECTED for Medford, and one may
soon be erected in Portland. Oregon
offers an extensive home market for
beet sugar in the fruit canneries
which are becoming numerous. The
fertilizing properties of the beets are
also so great that the production OF
other crops may be increased by the
use of beet pulp from the refneries
The American people are having al
important lesson in the value of beint
economically independent of othel
nations. Let us apply it in the mat
ter OF sugar, as we are beginning II
apply it in relation to chemicals
dyes and many other commodities
for which we have hitherto depended
on onimports.-Oregonian.

SOME SCHOOL FIGURES.

If any one should ask how many
enrolled school children there are in
the country YOU can reply on the au
thority of the federal commissioner
of education 20,000,0o0. You can
then say in addition to this, and up
on the same authority. that there are
216.000 students in colleges and uni
versities and another 100000 being
educated in the normal schools as fu
ture teachers. OF the total school
going population there is another
$1,000 that attend professional
schools There still remains an un-
classified 1,243,000 scattered through
out the country in other types of ed
ucational institutions than have been
mentioned The grand total in
school attendance is placed at 22,-
100000 employing corps of 700,-
000 teachers, 665,000 Of whom are
engaged in the public schools.
Concerning the cost of this stupen-
dous educational activity, which is
preparing its army of 22,000,000 for
efficient citizenship, the total esti
mate as nearly as it can be determin-
ed, is S75Q,0Q0,o00 That is a great
deal of money, but it does not look so
big when we are told that we pay
more than third of that amount ev-
cry year as admission to moving pic
ture shows and tWo-thirds more than
it for the Intoxicating liquors we
drink. 1t contributes to our pride on
the other hand as we learn that the
cost of education in this country dur
ing 1914 was somewhat in excess of
the value of the cotton crop, a little
less than the value of the wheat crop.
and about one-half the value of the
annual harvest Of corn.
There are other figures that show
the progressive trend of the schools
as a whole. They show that there is
some Improvement in the character
and attendance in rural schools the
country over, and that the farther
west one comes the more manifest
the improvement. They show per
centage of gain in high school attend
ance and in the completion of the
high school course, and an increase ir
the patronage of professional schools
and in the enrolment in colleges, uni
versities and schools of technology
although standards of admittance il
many of these have been raised

The Heppner papers say that a flow
of artesian water has been found on
the R. B. Rice farm in Morrow Coun-
ty with a flow of 240 gallons q min
ute. If artesian water exists in Nor
row County it is safe to say it can
be found in Gillian County; all that
is needed is some one with the en-
terprise and money to 60 down deep
enough and the problem would be
solved. If Mr.. Smith, the speiler for
the O-W. r. & n. Co. would advocate
artesian wells in this county he might
accomplish something that would be
of real benefit. DR.. X. l. j. McKen-
zie of the Plateau Land Co. has the
money and Mr.. Smith would do we'll
to put the artesian bug in his ear.

WHY SPEND YOUR OWN MONEY,

II anyone ever doubted the ability
of British diplomats, this is the time
for him to hang his head in shame.
The Turing of Italy into the fray was
a triumph itself, but the plans of the
British to permit the United States
to carry the expense of the war will
make that feat seem trihing in com
parison if they succeed,
America is asked to supply the Al
lies with arms. ammunition and food
to enable them to peat Germany
England promises to pay high prices
for the supplies. But with the war
costing $21,000,000,000 or more a
day, she hasn't the money.
Now she proposes to borrow it
from American fnanciers who benefit
by the war sales. They are to lend
the money deposited by American cit
izens in these fnanciers' banks.
Then later, if the Allies win, and
England is not bankrupt, the loans
will be repaid,
This certainly is a scheme worthy
of great admiration. There will be
no immediate addition to the wealth
of America as a result of the much
praised war commerce, prices will &c
up here as a result of heavy foreign
shipments, and while we operate the
industries on our own capital, Eng
land will receive the output without
paying dollar form any years tt

The Everlasting Onion.

Consider the everlasting onion
and plant it!
You get the clusters of tiny bulbs
from the seed man, and plant them
in these stillwarm days of early fail.
Be sure to ask for the everlasting"
You plant each tiny bulb separate,
but fairly close together, keeping the
rows far apart. In a few days it's del
icate spear will shoot upward. They
will thrive in the Indian summer sun.
You will eat of them on Thanksgiv-
ing. The winter will not phase them,
if you plant deeply and warmly, and
the fall bed will become a patch of
spring onions.
Symbol of persistence and immor-
tality is the everlasting onion. 1t di-
,vides, you pull one of it's parts, and
the remaining parts continue. Shoots
of this onion are crowned in late
summer with lovely bronze co,ors of
tiny bulbs, and these are yet topped
with other clusters. If you do not
gather them and dry them for later
planting, they viii drop to the
ground, and make new group.
While you plant the new bed, for
beauty's sake, the stout old one will
continue to flourish interminably il
you let it-for the everlasting onion
demonstrates continuity or nothing.
Plant the everlasting onion in your
back yard and you will have the fresh
tender relish for your table practi-
cally the year round forever-all for
the investment of a dime.
