WANTS BAND CONCERTS.
Salem, Ore, Nov. q, 1917

Salem, Ore, Nov. 24, 1917.
To the Editor: In making my
Grounds" today among the local mer-
chants, I learned that the city fathers
of Salem propose to discontinue for
next season the splendid public services
of the Salem band presumably on the
grounds of economy of public money.
Now, praiseworthy as that object on
their part may be, cannot but feel
that in doing so the effect will not
only be discouraging to the band boys
themselves, but a loss to the city at
large, out of all proportion to the rela-
lively small sum of money that will be
saved to the taxpayers by the elimina-
tion of this item of expense.
[ am one Of the large number Of
travelling men who make weekly visits
to Salem and having done so for years,
have come to feel home interest in
the city and among the many fine
friends and acquaintance formed in
business and social way. That is my
excuse if one be needed for protesting
against the proposed action of the city
council. have enjoyed and profited
by the Salem band at its open air
concerts, as have thousands Of others
and have many times heard comments
from musical authorities in other cities
on the general excellence of the pro-
grams offered as well as the fact that
Salem had every reason to feel proud
of the splendid attraction that these
concerts offered to strangers, visitors
and citizens alike.
They have helped me to pass many
an otherwise lonely evening in quiet
enjoyment of high class music rendered
by what | consider one of the best
bands in any city of its size in the
country and far surprising the average
professional musical organizations.
Sincerely,
G. K. TOWERS.

ROOD CONSERVATION.

Salem, Ore, Nov. "a, 1917.
To the Editor: We have just signed
pledge to help the Government save
the food for ourselves and our Allies a
pledge most Of us intend to keep to the
best of our ability, yet, one can hardly
keep from feeling a little discouraged
in cur efforts to attain this end, for
while denying ourselves things we like
best to eat, we read that hundreds of
carloads Of potatoes are rotting on the
sidetraeks in Chicago, and that salmon
are dumped into the Columbia by the
ship load to hold up the market. In
the Journal of the 18th, was an article
quoting a Chicago man claiming to be
well informed on the subject, that un-
less the price Of potatoes was lowered,
there would probably be one hundred
million bushels never go on the market,
but would rot in the bins or be fed to
stock.
This is certainly a shame, not only
affecting present conditions, but the
future as well. If the farmers are
obliged to let their crop rot for the
lack of a market, due to our ridiculous
system of competitive trade, or manipu-
lation of food prices or any other
avoidable cause, we are likely to see
a real shortage next year, for the farm
er is no fool, and will likely refuse to
be stung twice in the same place. It
seems reasonable to suppose that the
Government can fix a price on potatoes
as well as wheat, guaranteeing a price
that will insure the raising of enough
for every household in America, and
then provide way for them to be
placed on the market, less forty some
odd profits, and people could afford to
buy.
Last spring the Government made
big food drive, urging everyone to
plant every foot of ground they had;
we did so, and in spite Of adverse con
ditions in many places, the food supply
was increased greatly. Now it is up
to the Government 70 see that this is
saved. there is no way, there must
be one made, or the great experiment
viii be a failure. As individuals. we
have done our part, both in producing
and saving, now as individuals, we
look to our Government to back our eff |
forts with actions that bring results.
Substitutes for this things we are asked
to save. should be put before the people \
It the lowest possible price, guarantee
ng such prices to the producer that

practically worthless The aggrayang thing to the tee-

are generally the worst offenders along this ne lhey

lines the phones the management but rests entirely
with themselves. Most of the complaints made to the
public service commission come from the small lines ana
