WHO Mll.KS THE X)WT Everyone from -the hay pitcher to the hotel keeper all got theirs last summer The hay pitcher asked a rats he got It. The railroads asked a raise in freight they got it The commlxsion men asked for 6 raise they got it. The yard men asked tor a raise they got It. The packing house help asked for a raise they got It. he retailers' help asked for a raise they got It., so the retailer hiiuelf had to get mure, and the hotels still hold up their prices, just as high as during the war, and there seems to be no chance tor them to find the way down. They have all helped to milk the. old cow and last but not least the outside money lenders raised the Interest rata. Aftert the feeder ot the cow had be come unable to teed the cow on eight percent money, h raised the inter est to ten percent, and charged a bonus, which make the loan figure 13 percent. So you see the poor old cow is mtlhed to death. Now you will soon begin to see the effect of the reaction which will come bade through all business channels. You will see these effects first in our banks and from there to your retail store as soon as they demand cash payment. Just as the short-tim and sometimes long-time credit has held the business at home so will the cash demands drive a great deal ot the trade to mail order houses, that never help to build your town, It a man cannot under the present conditions .make enough to pay his bills .and take these advantages ot credit, how is he to raise a crop this coming year to make his losses good and run his business this year? I will suggest a few remedies. One Is don't all try to milk the poor old cow any longer, and doh't try to stay up there on that limb that you found so easily and stayed on two years after the old cow thought she had done her part to win the great war and thought that she could go back to the "green pastures in peace, not to be a target up for the world to shoot down, or In other words to have tho world kill the hen that laid the gold en eggs. Little did she think that lie would follow the Hun. Xow you have all had your day. and you all got your raise on th) stuck you had on baud, just take a little of the loss and kind of equalize the thing a little and you will have no business failures, as there is no need for them; only that some of you are holding out chips and they are the chips that are needed in the game, and are needed worse right now than they have been at any time since we entered the war. Let ev ery business man or woman take this borne to their own "business or home and practice this theory and you will soon see a change iu business. Now you can see this right now at home. Take the little Oregon Grill Diner, the only place in our town that did not raise In prices, has done more business than anyone else, and has done more to stimulate meat con sumption than anyone in town by giving more of the staples for the money than anyone else in the state that I know of, and I have been around some. Most of the hotels and restaurants have meats so hlgn that the people can't eat it. Yon have had these advantages for two years, and it is time to come down from your high perch and get down to businefW' Holl your business to etner and helP U9- and then we can help you when the time comes.
