FARM WAGES DOUBLE
IN LAST IS YEARS
IN 1902 WAS $28.35 A
MONTH, IN 1918 $63, SAYS
EXPERT,

There has been considerable con-
troversy over the justice or injustice
of the farmers claim in regard to
the increased cost of production due
to the raise in wages of farm labor.
Data compiled representing the actu-
al wages paid on a great many farms
accurately typical of the average
farm wages for the entire state show
interesting comparisons.
In 1902 the farmers of the state
paid an average of $28. 35 for farm
labor by the month, with board. In
1911 the wage with board was $32-
sc; in 1913, $500; in 1914, $32-
so; in 1915, $780, in 1915,
$36. 90; in 1917, $47.O0, and in
1918, $4,000. rs
The average wage by the day dur
ing harvest, with board, in 1902 was
$2.01. In 1911 the wage with board
was $2.31; in 1913, $2.42; in 1914,
1929; in 1915. $2.35; in 1916.
So so; in 1917, 800; and in 1918,
$500. The average wage for the
state, with board, for labor on the
farm other than harvest, per day, in
1902 was 1929. In 1911 it was
$1.59; in 1918. $1.67; in 1914,
81 so; in 1915, $3.50; in 1916, 81
80; in 1917. $40; and in 1918.
$3.15.
Comparable figures for farm wages
without board. which represent the
smaller percentage Of farm hiring Ia
Dor, indicates practically the same
prOportionate advances. ~ -
The above figures seem, 70 substan-
tiate the contention of the farmer
that wages on the average farm have
approximately doubled in the past
six or seven years. Also, taking into
consideration additional operating
expenses such as increased cost of
machinery, etc., and the fact that
cereal crops show an abnormal de-
crease in production in this state.
one can easily realize the justice of
the claim of great many farmers
that they have been unable to operate
at profit and in many instances
have suffered loss during the past
year.

PREPARES FOR BIG BUSI.
NESS IN 1919.

Charles L. Durham, travelling
factory representative of the Chew
rolet Motor company, visited the local
agency, the Capital Transit & Repair

himself as well pleased with the
business the company has been doing
and the number of cars placed in this

than $50 in the past two years, H.
H. Schultz, president of the COM
pany, reports.
Mr.. Durham conferred with the

ritory and the agency, anticipating a
big demand for cars during the
spring and summer, placed an order
for four carloads for immediate de-
livery, Mr.. Schultz says.
Mr.. Durham brought word of the
recent acquisition of control of the
General Motors company by w. c..
Durant, president of the Chevrolet
company land of plans for the crea-
ton of one big organization for the
production of motor cars. The Gen.
eral Motors company builds the

states that no further reduction is

ditions the company also expects to
be able to get competent mechanics

NOT OUT OF, BUT INTO

When prohibition is enacted
the brewers do not go out Of
business, they go into business.
We voted our saloons closed in
Oregon. One great brewery is
going to manufacture furniture
Heretofore we have raised the
lumber in Oregon, shipped it to
Michigan, and bought our fur
niture from there at a third
more than it ought to cost us.
Another brewery is going to be-
come a shoe factory. For sew
enty years Oregonians have pur-
chased their shoes in Boston. al
though we raise the hides and
everything needed for shoes in
Oregon. The conversion Of
those two breweries into a furni-
ture factory and q shoe factory
viii cause them to employ from
twelve to sixteen times as many
men as they formerly employed,
and incidentally the Western
price on shoes and furniture will
be reduced, possibly by a third.

splendid opportunity for the marve-
