Rockefeller has books showing every penney he ever
earned. The big reason for the country's paper shortage,
however, is the printing of crime and scandal features in
magazine sections of Sunday newspaper.
A famous English writer has removed from England
and taken up residence in Victoria, B. C, saying that her
adopted city is more like the England of old than anything
in the world today. Possibly that offers a solution for
Canada's present immigration problem. If she can out
English old England, the future of the Dominion is assured.

We are rapidly approaching the time when traffic will
be regulated without ' requiring a low speed of travel. In
Rhode Island, for example, the police insist that motorists
must drive 85 mile's an hour on the malii highways or get
off on. the slower byrways. They contend that most ac-iP'Llli,)K out n,;w ?ur,8'
cidents happen because of. ineptitude or carelessness rather
than because Ipf .speoding at the 35-iile njark. When.iouii
highways in Oregon become as congested as those of tho
eastern states, the same regulations will be necessary.
GOVERNMENT ENVELOPE BUSINESS.
; The Observer is, not in the commercial printing business,
though we have a complete plant for doing our own job
printing., Incidentally, we print our own envelopes instead
of buying them at the post office at less than the cost of
manufacture. The reason for this isn't entirely because we
refuse to take advantage of Uncle Sam's generosity and
have part of our normal printing expense absorbed in taxes
and overcharges in other departments. Possibly it is large
ly because the envelopes that Uncle Sam sells are cheap in
quality and flimsy in appearance, characteristics that do
not go well with good ljusiness stationery.
Nevertheless, the post office department sells u tre
mendous amount of stamped and printed envelopes. And
the price is such that a loss on every thousand is inevit
able, according to cost experts who have made ft study of
the problem. Who pays the difference ?, Obviously those
of us who do not take advantage of this department fea
ture if "advantage" it 'may be called must make up the
deficit. Of course there is no real reason for the govern
ment being in the printing business to this extent at all,
but especially is there 11 lack of reason for selling a product,
in direct competition, with its own citizens engaged in legit
imate printing business, ut a figure that is below actual
cost. It is just one small example of how our government
officials get off on the by-ways of service.
A campaign is under way throughout the country to se
cure the elimination of government enveloiKs. It's a sensi
ble compaign that is economically sound. Government en
velopes, at least as they are handled at present, constitute
n relic of the past similar to the old free seed practice. If
the post office department is to continue in the manufac
ture of envelopes below cost, let the treasury department
furnish us j'.ovenimcnl bonds that will pay a higher rate of
interest than they earn, let the commerce department pro
vide us with transportation for less than it costs, let the
agriculture department pay us higher prices for our crops
than the market permits and absorb tho difference in in
creased taxes.
Continuing along this line indefinitely would give us a
country like England, now famous for its subsidies, its
lolcs, and its rapidly approaching economic chaos. There
ire probably a hundred arguments for such foolishness, but
ve certainly can't think of a single one of them right now.

Straight for the Port
of Satisfaction
Every pood sailing master engages a pilot to steer
his vessel safely into port. The pilot knows the
channel. He knows where to go and what to do to
avoid danger and make a sale landing. ,
When you set sail on a shopping tour yon, too,
should have a ' pilot. Everybody needs one. And
well-informed shoppers always have one advertis
ing. '
Advertising keeps you off the rocks of extrava
gance and waste. 11 takes you straight into the
lrt of economy. It tells you plainly where to go
lor what you want. It shows you how to save
steps and money and time. I)y watching it care
fully, each day, you are able to buy lo best advant
age. .
Often the advertisements will keep you, from mak
ing an rnwise purchase by pointing out just why
one arti"le suits you better than another. It points
out for you ilhc pick of the country's market and
the selection of the particular kind, shape, size and
color that best suits your taste and fits your pocket
book. ;
Whether you want food, clothing, furniture or a
toy for the children, the advertisements can help
you. . f
