WESTERN BEET SUGAR

The papers are full of sugar
shortage stories and state that
the western beet sugar crop will
soon be pouring in to relieve the
situation.
Whether there is a real short
age as critical as some would have
us think, or whether the whole
scare was brought on by the move
to prosecute profteers in different
lines of industry, we do not know.
The main point brought out which
Interests westerners, Is the fact
that due to the increased con-
sumption of sugar, there is no
prospect of production increasing
faster than demand.
Probably no section of the
world has the opportunity to de-
velop the beet sugar industry to
such degree as western states.
No stone should be left unturned
to encourage this industry at this
time, as it is a land developed, a
valuable adjunct of stock business
and great employer of labor,
not to mention being a community
builder.
Rapid development of the candy
industry in western states is a di-
rect result of our sugar industry
and with the elimination of the
special FIVE per cent excise tax on
candy, this industry would grow
more rapidly than ever. i.

WORLD PEACE AND INDUSTRIES

Earliest possible ratification of
the Peace Treaty and covenant of
League of Nations is of utmost
Importance for the stabilizing of
industries and extension of
American commerce.
Pending the battle in the SEN
ate, unnecessarily prolonged by
a small handful of ambitious men,
under the leadership of western
radical progressives, industries
are not expanding and business
drags.
Taking Oregon as a guide,
where senators are elected by
direct vote of the people, both
senators, one a republican and
one a democrat, both prominent
on committees, are supporters of
the Treaty.
With European nations, need
ing peace and reconstruction.
with Great Britain under the
stress and strain of industrial
revolution, with our own country
breaking I'D in mobs and strikes.
it is time to act.
The early ratification of the
Treaty and League of Nations
will mean a great international
steadying hand placed on the
shoulder of discomfort, and a club
to use against bolshevism and
anarchy.
Ask the most radical socialist
or most vicious labor agitator
what he thinks of the Peace
Treaty and League of Nations -
he will tell you it is the one thing
to be defeated if the world is to
be Russianized.
In the name of peaceful devel-
opment for our great nation, for
the resumption of world COM
merce on normal bases, the high
est patriotic duty before Ameri-
cans is to lay aside partisanship
for world peace.

Senator Penrose proposes to
defer until after the next presi-
dental election the enactment of
a new tariff law. This suggests
either the senator's pessimism
after contemplating his republi-
can Congress for the last three
months. or an undue optimism
concerning the results in 1920.

YOU CAN'T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE


Senator Penrose, republican
boss" of the present Congress,
has announced that 1T is not
likely" that there will be any re-
vision of the tariff or lowering
of the present tax schedules until
after the next presidential elec-
tion, or, in other words, until a
new Congress convenes in March,
1921.
This surprisingly frank state
ment from the recognized repub-
lican leader can only be accepted
as a confession of the inability
of the republican majority in both
houses of Congress to deal with
the intricate economic problems
growing out of the war. This
confession is in striking contrast
with the promises of the republi-
cans just prior to the last con-
gressional election that if re-
stored to power in the legislative
halls in Washington they would
prove their fitness as reconstruc-
tionists.
Senator Penrose offers the ex-
isting political and industrial
chaos as an excuse for his an
nounced do nothing" policy.
In his statement he refers only
to the tariff and revenue ques-
tions. He might just as we'll
have admitted the whole truth
known to all men in touch with
the situation on Capitol Hill
that the controlling majority in
Congress has no solution for any
of the economic difficulties now
confronting the country.
President Wilson proposed a
program of reconstruction for
the republicans at the opening
of the present special session,
which session the republicans
clamored for so they might get
to work. y The president, whose
vision had foreseen the unrest
that would be engendered if re-
lief measures were not forth
coming, pointed out specifically
what should be done.
Not so foolish as to suggest
that the entire tariff structure be
made over, as Senator Penrose
virtually proposed in May, the
president confined his impost
recommendations to essentials,
such as the dyestuffs and chemi-
cal industries built up during the
war. He urged a weapon of re-
taliation in our tariff laws, in
case other governments should
enact legislation unequal in its
bearing on our products as COM
pared with the products of other
countries" He asked that early
consideration be given to tax re-
vision, pointing out that many of
the minor taxes made necessary
by the pressing necessities of
war time, particularly the excises
upon various manufacturers and
the taxes upon retail sales, could
now be repealed The latter in
clude the so-called luxury taxes
upon wearing apparel, etc. AL
though experience has shown
that in the main these taxes on
retail sales have proved more an
noying that profitable, the re-
publicans have done nothing to
eliminate them, Notwithstanding
that the democrats were only
prevented from erasing these
bothersome taxes from the stat
ute books by a republican Senate

Now hardly anything is left fol

stared at badly and the eye is forced
to realize that five women out of ten
are ugly, misshapen creatures, often
with coarse skins.

There is no doubt Mrs. Glyn got a
close up view, for she continues:
"On one womans bare back--she

had evidently scratched ner. some-

This is an issue we unhesitatingly recon-
mend to those who appreciate an oppor-
tunity of investing in California lnstitu-
tion with an assured future-one that has
been passed upon by the California Com
missioner of Corporations-where the in
vestor can watch the progress made, and
at the same time share in the profits and
the satisfaction derived through contribut-
ing to the Industrial advancement of the
West. It has been conclusively demon
strated that automobiles can be manufac-
tured here successfully, and there is every
reason why the Leach BiltlreH Motor Com
pany should experience the same rapid eX-
pansion as has marked the growth of other
enterprises organized and perfected on the
Pacific Coast with Pacific Coast capital
and energy.

were dreary affairs. hackneyed and
stale for the most part, a mere rehash
of other pieces that had gone before.
Such an accusation cannot truthfully
be laid at the trolley-car door of $50
