Ths smaller your bualneari the
more it needs tdvertteing.
In these days of hurry mi strife
for the first place iu the race of life
it ia erea more importaut than ever
that a man be deligen lu his tnwl
new and look after its details
closely. -
The election is over, now for
business, should be the watchword
with every merchant. Kuough
time has been spent in politics;
let your customers decide amoiin
themselves how it was done.
Reward for his labor is sure to
come to the diligent man, and that
was well known in the time o(
8otonion, who said "Sfeeet thou
man dilieent in his business! II
shall stand before kings; he shall
not stand before mean uieu."

Bkujicm has an area about equal
to the Willamette valley, and it
has a population of 6,000,000
people. The day will come when
the rich lauds of the Willamette
valley will support 4,000,000
people. Then will the struggle
for life be desperate.
A man in business should start
out with fixed principles, aud with
the determination to win by the
practice of fairness toward all, and
he is bound to succeed. A man
who does that will find friends
both with customers and fellow
businessmen.

IF our government can pay
nearly two hundred million dollars
annually in pensions to thoae desvrv
ing men who, thirty years ago,
fought to save the Union; what is
to prevent it later on from pen
stoning every person in old agef
Til eke are a great number of so
called cranks in this world, aud the
number is increasing, who do not
feel content to see fortunes of great
magnitude making a few familt-e in
onr union virtual masters to the
many, and those "cranks" are
going to vote early and late to
remedy the evil.

"You never miss the water till
the well runs dry" is a true say
ing and the people of this country,
who have seen the publio Intuit
gradually disappearing, are just
beginning to realize that they have
sold their birth-right for a menu
of pottage. What will the people
do, that is the question! Tamely
submit, you say. Well perhaps
lets wait and see.
Did you ever think that land in
itself has no val uot Value arites
ouly from human laWr. It is not
until the ownership of land becomtw
equivalent to the ownership of
laborers that any value attaches to
it. The profits on Buch an invest
ment do not arise from the growth
of land, or increase of its capa
bilities, but from growth of popu
lation. Labor should receive a better
reward for its toil. Under the
grinding system now iu vogue,
the poor man sees no way to get
tree from ms cnains, ana tie ue-
mands that those chains be taken
from him. He sees the injustice of
a favored few reveling iu luxury,
while he is not able to obtain the
work necessary to support his
family.
The preeent condition of affairs
is fast bringing about a change in
the spirit of the people of this
nation, and with intelligent inves
tigation we are becoming daily
convinced that radical changes in
our political methods of legislation,
must be made. Legislation must
be more in favor of the masses and
less in favor of the monopolists
of our nation.

If every foot of tillable land in
Polk county were to pay a rental
to the county or folk or 2Uc an
acre, annually, it would bring in
an income of $66,000. Every foot
of land in Folk county has some
rental value, and the rent should
not go to an individual but to the
government, then the accumula
tion of. immense fortunes would
cease, except through industry an 1
toil.
A THBirrr, live, energetic
paperbetokensalivetown; a live
town has good papers, good papers
must have strong advertisers;
strong advertisements excite curi
osity and call.ftrth resioisivi
visits from the public; such visit
beget trade. A live town awakens
country, ud that interest drown
UiemtovMfc the town, where tn
turn they nr imluml to trutlo by
tharery Hieaim which iinooiiNeioitsly
first eulistwl their attention.
TiiR most effective way of purg
ing the pciMiou list of fmud ami
clients will tie for ooiumwa to
provide for the publication of a
list of pensioners iu eueli county iu
the most widely circulated news
paper in that county. Together
with the name of the pensioner
should lie given the tlimiblllty upon
which the pension wtw grunted aud
the amount paid. We are cotilldeiit
that the mere ixttuwge of such a law
by congress would cause the strik
ing or withdrawal of thouNtmltt of
names from the peimiou list before
publicutiou could be made. Swind
lers should lie made to feel the
heavy hand of the law.
TiiR man who Is being taxed
heavier today than any other class,
is the farmer and yet when you
miixwk to him a clittiiiro iu our
methods of taxatiou he is the first
one to legislate atmiiiMt it. The
true taxing value of any property
Is its ability to produce an Income.
Take an average acre of farm land
and it will produce a revenue of
jioY five dollars a year. Indeed it
takes very good laud to bring iu a
cash rcut of five dollars u acre.
Go to any towu and see what rent
town lots are bringing. Here is
corner lot, occupying one fifth of
.in acre aud it bring in sixty
dollars a month, or 120 a year,
One acre of those tots bring in
MtiOO a year. I u other words,' an
acre in that towu, in that locality,
is worth over "00 times what one
acre Is worth on a farm. Hut dm
it pay 700 times the taxes, Oh no,
that would be robbery. It pays
only just alniut the same as the
farm.

The promenading, which one would
naturally suppose would lie a Juitio

the contrary. When the promenade
is led by one experienced in leading
the many quaint figures and evolu-
Hons of the prouicnailcrs, the tangling
and untangling of the marching multi
tude renders this one of the most
interesting part of the evening's
progrumme. One thing that is most
surprising to a stranger from the fur

these entertainments, vl,, ton cents
each for admission to the promenade
and thirty-five cents per couple
admission for dancing.
