CHANGING POPULAR HAD1TS
.Many business people fail to achieve suewss, because they
conceive that the people have certain fixed habits that can not
be changed. They think that as trade always has gone in a cer
tain direction, it will continue to do so. So they just lie down on
their job. Put popular habits are not thus fixed. They are con
stantly changing under the impulses of new suggestion. The cus
tom of .knitting by women might be considered as an example.
ForrnerJy knitting was regarded as a more or less old-fashioned
habit... Old ladies were supposed to knit, but many young women
wou'il have thought they looked queer if they were seen plying the
needles". While the war had a lot to do with re-establishing the
habit ij knitting, yet advertising also was a big factor in it. To
day yop see a great many women, old and young, diligently plying
their needles. Magazines and newspapers remind women and
girls of the pretty things they can make with their own hands by
the use of colorful yarns. The result has been to popularize the
cuslo magain. The knitters are reminded that they can not mere
ly make the warm articles that our grandmothers used to turn
out for cold weather wear, but they can create light weight things
fitted to any season. Thus the habit spreads f rom one to another,
and these bright colored garments become a charming feature of
the modern woman's outfit. Advertising had a large share in
creating this tendency. In the sartic way the popular habit of buy
ing goods can be changed in any direction. The merchant who
finds that he is not getting his share of trade has probably not
done anything to help shape the buying habits of the people of his
town. Probably he has not attempted to' interest buyers from the
surrounding country, who now go elsewhere to trade, but who
would just as soon come to his place if he would make an effort
to interest them.
Some people believe that retail store busines3 is a very pro
fitable operation, and that the public is heavily taxed for the gains
of tlutLbiisiness. Such folks note the statement recently made by
the sttrxtary of the New Kngland Clothiers association, to the
ffectthnt the net profit in the clothing line rarely exceeds one
and three tenths cents on a dollar. There may be lines of trade
on which the average retail profit exceeds that figure, but it is
never largo percentage on sales. A false idea about retail bus
iness tutists in the minds of many persons, and constantly people
ore setting up new stores, hoping to draw a share of what they
believe are liberal gains. Put the great number of concerns that
get outref business after experimenting with it a few years, indi
cates that the popular idea of these rewards is largely illusory.
Thd retail clothing business is a specially efficient one, as it is a
line that is usually pretty well advertised. Enterprising men in
that bilsinrss keep their stores well before the public by publicity,
and as a result gain a large volume of trade. P.y doing business
on an extensive scale, they are able to cut the margin of profit on
each sale down to a trifling percentage. There are some lines of
business which do not advertise freely, inwhiih the-margin be
tween the wholesale and retail price is larger. In this case the
merchant may not be making much money, but owing to his failure
to draw in a large volume of trade, his charges for overhead and
other expense are a heavy load on each sale, and make prices high.
o
In every community there is a certain proportion of children
who are not normal in ability. In former years these backward
pupils dragged hopelessly behind in their classes. Desiring to ex
cel in some way, they were apt to cultivate mischief as a means of
proving they were not wholly deficient in ability. Progressive
school systems now establish what are often called "opportunity
schools," which are .xxi-ial classes for these sub-normal children.
Usually about half of the time of such groups is given to hand
work, which interests such pupils and arouses their sluggish men
tality, Instead of being incited to lives of insubordination, they
are induced to do real work, ami enter useful careers. Such in
struction and the spooial attention needed will not probable cost
anything in the long run, as it saves n certain proportion of these
children from luiing dependents and possible criminals.
About the best thing that the public schools can do for a child
is to scud him out into the world with a healthv body. You can
stuff nts head with book knowl.slge. but if he leave school with
scr.ous physical defects, his life is in danwr of being n failure.
School pupils should have regular medical inspection with effort
to secure correction of remedial,!,, defects. There should be wte.
mahc instruction in hygiene. Children should be taught the ad
vantage of fresh air. they should be show n the necessity of eating
nutrition foods instead of over indulgence in swifts, thev should
.. i nco. against the common unsanitary practices. In
of this kind has more to do with the success of their 1;
much protiency in book learnirg.

ROSEBlTRf!, Oct. 13. Editor of
the News-Review: Waller fierce,
democratic candidate for governor,
baa succeeded In creating the Im
pression that If elected governor he
can cut taxes in two. ine ciuiw
that he can cut taxes fifty per cent
Is simply a vote-catching extrava
gance upon which to ride. Into or
fiee. Let us Bee how much a gov
ernor has to witn uougtas count!
taxes.
The total amount levied on Doug
las county property this year Is $1.-
144.735. Of this IT per cent was
levied by county and local authori
ties for schools, roails, cily ana
town purposes, including the port
lax of J22.S!iO. How could any gov
ernor cut this local part of the tax
bill In two? Reduction of these lo
cal taxes Is up to the voters In the
local districts.
When cornered. ,Mr. Pierce ad
mits his 50 per cent tax cut prom
ise is intended to apply to state
taxes only. Let us see how this
works oat on Douglas county.
Only 23 per """t of all Douglas
County's taxes this year were state
taxes for soldiers' bonus two and
one-half per cent, for market roads
two and one-half per cent, for state
aid to elementary schools five per
cent, and for state higher educa
tional purposes seven per cent, the
latter Including the educational aid
to the soldiers and sailors, as well
as all the millage bills and appropri
ations for Oregoif Agricultural Col
lege and 1'nivers.ity of Oregon.
Senator pierce introduced several
of Iheae tax measures and supnort
fdlTll of them. Which ones will he
cut out?
The balance of the state tax, six
per cent of the total Douglas tax
bill, goes mainly to sunport Insti
tutions caring for the insane and
other afflicted. Besides paying the
expense of state government. Even
If Mr. Pierre cuts this amount in
two he would reduce Douglas coun
ty's tax T)ills only three per cent:
yet even this amount could not be
cut in two without turning insane,
feeble minded, orphans and other
dependents out upon the public for
charity.
The claim that taxes can be re
duced 50 per cent, or any other sub
stantial amount, by a governor or
through his influence is so prepos
terous that It Is obviously Intended
onlv for campaign purposes.
The problem of taxation Is mainly
a local one. up to the people of the
various taxing districts.
Of the total tax bills of Oregon
this year. $ in.473,9nfi. onlv 23 per
cent, or !i.373.37. was levied as
state taxes. This amount Included
soldiers' bonus millage necessary for
soldiers' loan bond redemption, mar
ket roads mlllace. nilllape for state
fid to elementary schools and all the
nilllnge and Piipropriailnns for slate
educational Institutions. Including
the soldiers' educational aid.
Only I2.514.0SO, or six per cent
of all taxes paid in Oregon this
year, were for general st.it" pur
poses outside of roads and educa
tion, while 94 per cent were taxes
