OTHERS OPINIONS
A Good Piece of Work.

The most important action of the
Commercial club since its organization
is the offer to guarantee that from
three to four thousand acres will be
planted to fax in the vicinity of Sa-
lem if anyone will build and operate
mill here. 1t is claimed that in
terested parties have examined into
the matter and have expressed a will
lingness to build the mills if they can
be guaranteed the quantity Of fax
necessary to keep them busy. This
kind of work means much to Salem
and the farmers Of this vicinity and
if the club through its action assists
in getting flax product mill estab-
lished here it will have done a mag
nifcent piece of work. The governor
in his message Tuesday called atten-
ton to the fact that while the first
years fax experiment did not make
a good showing, owing to it being an
experiment. and besides an unfortu-
nate season, that, the crop of 1916
was a profitable one, and the results
indicate that crops to follow will make
a still better showing as the farmers
get experience in growing the crop.

THINGS THAT HELP PROSPERITY

II is estimated that January dis
bursements of corporation dividends
in this country will amount to some
thing like $350,000,0OO, while still
larger sum has been added to sinking
funds, surplus and undivided profits
accounts. This is very fine show
ing and is fresh evidence of the I'M
bounded prosperity which prevails il
this land. There is one feature Of
the situation. moreover, that deserves
especial attention Nearly all of the
rich dividends now being paid by
American corporations will remain
in this country, instead Of a large
portion of such profits going abroad,
as was the case before the European
war. Americans, in other words, have
bought back most of the American
securities previously held abroad, and
the major part of the dividends ac-
cruing on these securities will there
fore remain in this land.
The Importance of this change can
rot be overestimated. u means that
instead of dividing American profits
with foreigners, these profits Fence
forth are to stay in this country TO
strengthen the banks, stimulate trade
and industry and figure in new in
vestments in home institutions and
improvements. This is so not only
with respect to the large January di-
vidend disbursements already refer
red to, but to all similar distributions
of profits in the months to come. The
American people, in other words, now
hold the advantageous position of ac-
tually owning most of the securities
representing American business. and
financial organizations, and also pub
lie obligations made to secure loans.
And the millions of dollars of in
terest and dividends which hitherto
have gone to enrich foreigners will
henceforth be saved to prolong and
promote prosperity in this land.
Even this, moreover, does not tell
the entire story of changes favorable
TO this nation. In addition to keep
ing our interest and dividend pay
ments at home, the American people
are now in position TO receive many
millions annually, in the shape of
interest due on American loans
abroad. This is a complete reversal
of the situation which prevailed be
fore the great war started, and is =
thing that must add wonderfully to
the financial prestige and advantage
of this nation for many years to
come. Nothing less than wanton care

SANTA CLAUS DID WE'LL.

Old Santa Claus evidently did a
land Office business in his recent dis
tribution Of Christmas gifts, and APP
parently he verified the predictions
that he would break all previous rec
ords. 1t is impossible, of course, to
accurately compute the number of
presents that he handled, or the val.
ue of the same, but the record of the
postoffice department affords an illu-
minating light on this subject. It is
estimated that the parcel post carried
close to 160,OO0,O00 Christmas pack
ages, while holiday letters and cards
also ran into the scores of millions.
The postal department officials figure
that the postage alone on this holiday
business amounted to not less than
$1S, 100000.
A very moderate estimate of the
average value of the Christmas par
cells sent by mail would be 81, while
it is highly probable the average ac-
tual value was much higher Howev-
er, even at 81 each the presents sent
by mail represented a total value of
$3.50, 100000, and this takes no ac-
count of the other millions of parcels
sent by express, and the still larger
number of gifts made directly. Ger
tainly the aggregate value of this
Christmas giving could not be less
than half billion dollars, represent
ing an average of SIS for each man,
woman and child in this country. 1t
was "some Christmas" in fact, the
biggest and best this nation ever has
seen. Yet if national prosperity con-
tinues for another year it is safe to
say the record of next Christmas will
exceed even that of the Christmas
just passed.

GROWING USE OF MOTOR CARS

This is to be another big year in
Che automobile business, accord ing
to reports and the present prospects
There will be at least 100000 pas
senger autos in use in this country
before the end of the summer season.
according to manufacturers esti-
mates, while in other quarters it is
figured that at least one-fourth as
many motor trucks will be used for
business purposes and for the army.
When we speak of an automobile,
however, we invariably think of a
passenger carrying machine and it is
of passenger carrying machines that
we think in looking forward to the
coming year as the greatest in the
history of the automobile.
In this connection it is of interest
ITO note that one statistician twho
has been looking into the matter If
automobile production for the year
and likewise delving into railroad re-
ports, has reached the conclusion that
more people will travel in automO-
biles than on railroads during the
coming year. Assuming that each pas
senger carrying machine will make an
average of 5000 miles, he sees that
the 100000 cars of the country will
travel 1S,O00,0O0,O0O miles, while
with an average of three passcuge,;
to the ear, the total of automobile
passenger miles will be $4,000, ,000. 900.
This is just juggling with figures.
al interesting form of guess work,
In. at least it serves to renew in nul
minds an impression of the automo.
bile's ever increasing Importance.

SOME GOOD ADVICE

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak

little meat, take things easier and use

other kidney medicine so well recon-
mended as Doan's Kidney Pills. Dal-
las people rely on them. Here's one
of the many statements from Dallas
people.

WAR AND CRIMINALITy.

The present great war appears to
be producing some rather curious and
contradictory results, notably with
respect to its influence on criminality
in the leading belligerent nations. 1t
is claimed, for instance, that one
effect of the war has been to reform
many habitual criminals, by arousins
their latent patriotism and inspiring
them with desire to be Of actual
service in lines of honest effort. In
stead of centering their thoughts on
plans of lawlessness and illegal de-
probation, such persons frequently
are fred with laudable ambition to
aid in the common effort to defend or
protect national interests and honor.
When convicts are released FROM
serving sentences we are told it is !
common thing for them to join th
army of their governments, and as a
rule they are said to make good
soldiers.
On the other hand, however, it is
claimed there is springing up in the
leading belligerent nations new
class of criminals. Boys too young
for war duty, but quite old enough
for mischief, are the offenders. Lack.
ing, in most cases, the restraining
impulse of fathers now serving in
the trenches, they are running riot
and committing all manner of depre-
dations. A boy crime wave has re-
suited which is causing serious con-
Germ in England. How it is regarded
in other belligerent countries is less
evident because we receive less news
from them. Presumably all are equal
ly concerned.
This is one of the most distressing
developments Of the war. From all
that can be learned, the so-called boy
criminals are merely healthy boys
whose energies, unguided, are taking
a wrong direction. They need guild
ance to prevent their becoming hab-
itual criminals and scourge of So
ciety. While war distracts the pub
lie mind; while parents fight and die
in battle, and national and individual
attention is centered on the most
pressing problems of existence, it is
likely there will be little kindly at
tention for these boys, drifting into
paths of danger.

With the Lone Fir Dairy, the West
ern Condensed Milk company, New
berg Creamery and the c. N. Chap
man milk and cream depot that is
being fitted up in the Edwards build
ing all doing business here, it looks
like Mrs. Cow was in fair way to
have her inning in this section from
this date forward. Evidently the as
sertion publicly made here a couple
of years ago by Mr.. Paulhamus, of
Puyallup, that there were mot as
many cows in this vicinity as there
should be to go along with the fruit
and berry business, has borne fruit.
Several years ago X. c. Eldriedge,
the Independence creamery man who
does more business than any other
creamery man in the Willamette val
ley, came to Newberg soon after his
arrival in Oregon from Utah, and es-
tablished creamery here. After run
ming a few years he gave it up and
went to independence to locate, Civ
ing as the reason for the change the
statement that he was unable to get
enough cream here to make the plant
pay 1t has taken long time to get
the dairy interest worked up but now
it is well under way the expansion
seems rapid. Besides the monthly
milk and cream checks that come in,
the COW business means greatly in

of the manure that goes back onto
the land, which is factor that is
always reckoned by the up-to-datr
