NEWSPAPER POLICIES AND PROFIT

Irresponsible agitators-and they not all so- clalss and anarchists-have mislead many people as
 to the existence of "captalistc" press and poiti- cal machne-serving" newspapers The result Is that there are people everywhere who think that the principal revenues of newspapers are derived from hidden and unclean sources. and that political cam paigns are harvest times for them.
 The facts are quite the reverse There Is prob ably no business calling where the trade which means profits comes from the to the same extent as is the case in newspaper making There Is not single man or corporation whose gross business with The Empire-except- on occasions when there might be an unusually large order of job prntng-for n month would meet the expenses of the paper for day There is not large business or-corpOratIOn whose business could not be dispensed with without crippng the paper-the loss would cut into the prof its. n Is true but it would not any change in the size or efficiency of the paper On the other hand the loss of the confidence of the masses would spell almost instantaneous ruin. There Is every n- centive for a newspaper to tell the truthfully and to serve the people faithfully-and most news papers try to do both-that s Of course. the daily newspapers which cost SO much to produce.
 Political campaigns are expensive rather than profitable to newspapers The newspapers depend so generally on popular favor for business that 1t is i'm possible for them to participate political campaigns without cost to themselves It Is safe to say that there are few campaigns that do not cost active news papers more money by far than the political advertis ing or increased business they
 That Is true because it Is the habit of some mar row people to try to punish newspaper for differing with them. by withholding business and by imputlng unworthy motives
 However. one of the traditional functions of newspaper is to discuss issues independently and fearlessy and let 1t be said for the credit of those engaged in the newspaper business. newspapers do discuss political economic and other mOOted problems and issues far more independently with less fear and with much less regard for the effect the busi ness office than Is the rule among business gen. erally
 Fortunately for newspapers people are becoming oroader than they were once upon time. There

Coos Bay Cities Plan
Big Railroad JoIIifiCation

Marshfeld - The Marshfeld and
North Bend Chamber of commerce
have committees organized for the pur-
pose of planning for the celebration of
completion Of the Willamette-Pacific
railway from Eugene to Coos Bay, but
they have been unable and will not
likely set the date for some time, as
the Southern Pacific officials are still
hesitant about naming time for the
road to be finished.
According to the disposition in both
cities, the event and entertainment
will exceed anything ever attempted
before on Coos Bay.
There are already promises received
from the main boosting bodies in the
willamette valley that big delegations
will be sent officially, but the commit
tees here wish to have it generally un-
derstood that everybody and his rela-
tives will be welcomed. The Cher
rians, of Salem, were the first to give
assurance they were preparing to come
and see Coos Bay, and although the in
formation came in a roundabout. man
ner, they are expected to participate.
Eugene and Albany are also among the
cities that will send excursions, while
the way stations on the Willamette
Pacific will have general outpouring
of joyseekers.

Oregon State Commission Asks
Opening Of Northern Gateway

Salem Relief of Oregon lumber
mills and other shippers who are suf-
fering from lack Of cars to ship their
products is sought through opening of
the Northern gateways. To this end
the Public Service commission tele-
graphed the Interstate Commerce COM
mission at Washington, D. G. It is
the belief of the Oregon commission
that the railroads may heed a request
for a temporary opening of the North
ern routes if made by the Federal tri-
bunal.
In its communication to the Inter
state Commerce commission, the Ore
gon commission said:
"sThe car shortage is increasing.
The accumulated shortage on the
Southern Pacific is now 700 cars, and
on the Oregon Washington Railway &
Navigation company's lines is 800.
There is no shortage in Oregon or
Washington. We feel that we are be-
ing Disseminated against. If it is
possible to open the Northern gate
ways temporarily we might procure
cars from other lines"
Replies to inquiries sent by the Ore
gon commission to the commissions of
California and Washington are that no
car shortage exists in those states.

pigs is sometimes necessary, but GER
tainly more rapid development than
that Of the average must be accom-
plished. During the sucking stage the
mothers milk must be more literally
supplemented with feed which the pigs
can eat, and in addition the mothers
ration must be calculated to produce a
heavy flow of milk. If feeds of these
sorts are not produced on the farm
and can be produced there, they should
be. And if they cannot be secured on
the farm they must be gotten else
where. Be assured that if pig loses
jot in his growth he will not make a
two-hundred pig as quickly and as
economically as if he had not" says
Professor Samson.
"At the end of the first month a
sucking should weigh about fifteen
pounds, and during the second month
he should gain about one-half pound
daily. During the third month he
should gain about seven-tenths of a
pound daily. and during the fourth
nine-tenths of pound daily. At five
months he should be kept practically
on full feed and start gaining from
one to two pounds daily for sixty days.
Pigs fed in this way will finish even
and there will be very few when
brought to market that are not of the
right weight and in the right condi-
tion."

May Mean Establishment Of
Tanneries in Northwest

University of Washington, Seattle
"A ton of wood shipped by parcel
post, in fifty-pound mail bags from the
National Forest reserve near Sumpter,
Oregon, was received at the chemistry
department Of the university last
week. According to the parcel post
deliveryman this is the largest single
consignment that has been received by
the Seattle Postoffice.
The work will be carried on by
Frank M. Jones, graduate student ir
the chemistry department, under the
supervision Of DR.. H. X. Benson, who
was recognized at the meeting of tn,

mer as a leader Of the industrial re
search work being carried on in tn,

The Alaska furs and hides the from
Montana provide enough skins for th'
establishment of tanning plants in tht
Northwest, according to Mr.. Jones
but it remains for the capitalists tt
be shown that the tannin extract car
be obtained from the woods of the
Northwest. When capitalists have
been shown that they can obtain the
raw material at low cost, Mr.. Jones
believes that tanneries will be estab-
lished in the Northwest.

High School Lunches Prove
To Be Of Greatest Value

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-C Can high school student get
ting lunch in the school get more
than twice the value Of lunch secured
elsewhere at the same price? That
this is actually the case is shown con-
clusively in comparison of foods and
prices made by the department of do
mestic science at the Oregon Agricul-
tural college. According to this list
the following food and prices at OBJ
tained at the high schools, having a
food value of TOO calories.
In a typical school lunch the follow
ing items at the prices given are pro-
cured: Cocoa and whipped cream, Sc;
egg sandwich, 4c; banana, 1c; four
dates, 1c; 8 cookies, 1c; total, 10c.
Of the usual lunches purchased else
where the following is said to be typi-
cal Of those bought by high school stu
dents: crullers, &c; cup of coffee
with cream and sugar, Sc; total, 10c.
The food value of this latter lunch
is $50 calories, in comparison with
that of 700 calories of the typical
school lunch.
Reports from some of the schools of
Oregon where lunches are served, show
that there are other advantages con-
nected with the practice of furnishing
the school lunch. It affords a means
of furnishing instruction and training
in preparing and serving meals eco
nomically and wholesomely. 1t also
lends additional attraction to the work
of schools and tends to keep attend
ance and interest at the best. Teach
ers are frequently regular customers
of the school lunch, which they find
helpful and pleasant in comparison
with the cold lunches which they
might otherwise have to eat. The
following is a typical menu of the
Kenton school Of Portland:
One apple; 2 slices Of bread and
butter; 2 crackers and bowl of thick
soup.

AMERICAN NAVY THIRD ON list;
EQUAL TO ANY BY YEAR 1925

Washington, d. C.--The object Of
the building policy formulated in 1918
by the Navy General Board, it was dis
closed Wednesday before the house ma
val committee, was to keep the United
States ahead Of Germany in the race
for naval supremacy. The statement
was made by Rear Admiral Charles j.
Badger, member of the general
board, who explained that the policy
had contemplated fleet Of AZ first-line
battleships by 1919 to accomplish its
purpose.
The statement did not go into the
record of the hearing and Admiral
Badger did not amplify it to show why
the board had thought such course
necessary.
The admiral was replying to a sug-
gestion that the object of the old pol
icy, abandoned this year by the board
for the first time, was to keep the
American navy in second place. While
