tion Is one development that should
hasten a resumption OF negotiations
Another Is a sharp drop in the Sc
curities OF the various steel compan
les. notably Midvale, Bethlehem and
Lackawanna.
1T IS well known that the United
States Steel corporation. due to its
great system OF railroads, enormous
liquid resources and other sources of
income outside OF steel manufacture
itself, can produce steel at a cost
far below that OF the Independent
companies. While there are no stat
istics to show what IL costs the cor
poration TO produce its various
grades OF steel, the cost must be far
below that OF the independent COM
panies. Should the Steel corporation
see fit to drop its prices So TO $40 a
ton below the present level, there
are certain independents that would
experience difficulty in meeting this
competition without loss, whereas
their big competitor would show a
fair profit.
"A combination OF the important
independent companies would result
in lowering the cost OF production

"lngot capacity of the combined

and 100000 tons annually. In
other words there would be created
"a combination about half as large as
the Uuited States Steel in working
capital and steel capacity. The mer-
ged company would have a line OF
products almost as diversified as u. s.
Steel
"The supreme court has declared
that United States Steel controlling
over 40 per cent OF the country's steel
production is not monopoly in re-
straint OF trade, SO that there could
be no opposition to the fomation of a
company that would control 20 per
cent to 25 per cent OF the country's

greater than in the presidential cleo
tion of 1916. while the total vote cast
for governor this year was 40f.290
greater than in 1916, and 605.54G
greater than in 1918.
Increase in the number of votes

er than that OF Charles Evans Hughes

publican, Democratic and Socialist
ticket follows:
Republican 3S7,952; Democratic,
2S3,993: Socialist. 1902.
The figures for 1920 were: Repub-
lican 1886; Democratic. 2S3,460;
Socialist. 2S.947.
The vote on governor in 1916, 1918
and 1920 elections follows:
1916-Sleeper (R) S6S.724; Sweet,
Cd; 264.44O; Moore (S) l5,040.

ties classed as chiefly fruit growing.

When it ia considered that we had
only $3.50, appropriated by The county
court. to work with and that the ex-
hibits were prepared in just, two days
time, our victory is remarkable. says
Mr.. Manser. "John Koberg, owner
of the Twentieth Century Truck Farm,
deserves unstinted praise for loading
his own motor truck with vegetables
and bringing them down TO Salem. We
were unable to enter any apples COM

only two boxes of any one kind, when
the regulations required three.
Mr.. Manser says that Hood River re-
eeiyed some admirable publicity from

scores of thousands of people. and much
literature was distributed. The fruit
displayed was sold the last day. One
box of the apples was pure hased for
presentation to Henry Ford.
