During the past few days the agents of a foreign
corporation have heen active in Medford and vicinity,
and as a result several thousands of dollars, which have
heen on deposit in local hanks have been withdrawn and
sent into other fields. The promoters have tales of fab
ulous dividends and have found it easy to take many local
people into camp.
The concern is one that is but little known locally. Still
the tale of the agent has been so guilded as to conjure up
visions of large and speedy returns. While a word of
warning might be in order, it is scarcely worth while to
give it it would not be heeded.
Why local people, who should have every interest in
upbuilding the city and valley, consent so readily to send
their money abroad is a question not easy of solution.
Here at home we have a dozen enterprises safe, sound
and certain of paying splendid dividends, which only lack
capital to carry on and develop their resources. They
are constantly striving to get more capital and, worthy as
they are, in many instance they have difficult work in
keeping pace with their growth. To illustrate there is
a certain business in Medford paying 8 per cent on their
capital stock. The past year has been a profitable one,
lint in order to increase the capacity of the plant to take
care of the business that is theirs for the asking, they
must have more capital. This they find difficult to obtain,
in spite of the fact that they are sound financially. A
working capital, in ordcMo branch out, is what they need,
lint it seems that local people would rather place their
money in foreign fields to them the argument of the
local payroll has no weight though the company cited
pays out over .fl. "()() a month to their men, and this amount
will be trebled ;is soon as they are able to handle all of
the business they could cont rol.
Local money should be used for local purposes. The
industries of the valley should be built up. Its resources
should be developed. Those who use their money in oth
er fields are hut a dead weight, retarding the growth of
the city and the upbuilding of their valley. Money should
he flowing in. and not out, of the IJngue River valley.
